    Your comprehension skills need work.
    I personally, have said all along that I would have Lukaku back if Costa left and we got the right price, which I put at around £50-60m. (You can ask Tobes, we had a very lengthy discussion on Lukaku's worth <laugh>)
    No way would I want us to pay £90m including Add ons for him.

    And I was pretty much alone in wanting him at all, most other Chelsea fans on here were against it at any price.
    So nothing's started, Matth.

    A lot of Chelsea fans last night wanted him back at their club, Funny, How they've changed their tune though, On a serious note, I do wonder what Striker you lot will go for now.

    Kinda how you never really wanted Hazard because Kagawa was better anyway? <laugh>

    I had to back him, Jesus Christ, hindsight and all that, Which striker do you think you'll sign, genuine question.

    Man Utd paying over the odds to Everton for a tall Belgian with no first touch, when has that ever gone wrong?

    It's a lot easier for you to pretend you're skint (Spurs not Spurlock) than us dude, it's not like we can hide our turnover and the fact that the TV companies are paying us more than ever in the PL.

    We brag probably because for years we've had to put up with Real bullying us for our players and now it feels good to tell them to get fooked and unsettle theirs.

    Think a few people still need to adjust to the new pricing levels.

    Didn't that Ake lad go to Bournemouth for £20m?

    Bournemouth spending £20m...

    Given the financial health, turnover and value of the club that's desperate even for you <laugh>

    I hope none.
    We have a 20+ goals a season striker in Costa, who we know suits our team and is Premier League proven.
    Its been stated he wants to go to Atletico when their transfer ban is lifted.
    I am more than happy for us to keep Costa for one more season and look to replace him, possibly with Griezmann, if and when a deal is made with Atletico.

    He wants to be careful, with his brown skin and foreign accent, the US police force will get itchy trigger fingers.

    Agent fees, like I said the excuse was already placed if they missed out to justify the rejection <laugh><laugh>

    You're mistaking rejection for a near miss and for that we are thankful.

    So Chelsea failed to offer the Agent the same fees as United, not because they thought it was asking too much, but so their fans on forums would have an excuse for the reason he went to United? <laugh>
    okaaaaaay. <doh>
