Yes, brain trust, obviously. Unless you think Emenalo was meeting up with Lukaku to tell him to **** off? Square pegs in round holes mate
^^^^^^ #Bodankysulk Not sure what's happened to you but you've been chatting **** like a 12 year old kid recently
not sure why Bods jumping into Stans Bait. Saying that though i don't know why Stans gone all Astro Hiag on us
I think Emenalo was meeting up with Lukaku as Chelsea wanted to sign him. I've never said otherwise. You lost the thread of this discussion ages ago and then started posting sources of evidence that you went on to describe as clueless.
The Chelsea fan who insisted that Real were pissed off with Mourinho for not selling DDG to them when Mourinho was manager of Chelsea. It was an epically comical **** up on a par with HIAG's assertion that Mourinho tried to unsettle Chelsea's title rivals Spurs by trying to sign Modric for Chelsea when Mourinho was manager of Real. The pair of them should work for The Express.
Bod is talking out of his arse here. Lukaku spoke openly about knowing where he was going a few weeks after the end of the season, and at that stage it wasn't United. He was going to Chelsea. Only Chelsea wanted to do their usual and try and get the price down towards the end of the window, same as they tried with Stones 2 year ago, which saw him hand in a transfer request on deadline day. There's no love lost between Everton and Chelsea since that btw. United then showed their interest and the fact he then spent a couple of weeks on the piss with Pogba appears to have helped make his mind up, and the deal for Rooney then helped cement the deal from our perspective.
I will try one more time, because I am silly. Lukaku wanted to go to Chelsea He admitted he had agreed to a deal with another club (almost universally believed to be Chelsea) All of a sudden the media explodes with talk of Conte being unhappy with our technical Director at Chelsea's transfer policy and is refusing to sign a new contract and threatening to leave Chelsea fail to make a Lukaku bid Lukaku is spotted talking to Chelsea's Technical Director Michael Emenalo numerous times Chelsea still fail to make a bid, even though the window has been open for nearly a month All of a sudden, Lukaku is in the US with Pogba making training videos and United become the new favourites United bid for Lukaku and agree a deal At the last moment, Chelsea, after much delay, make an identical bid Lukaku signs for United All of a sudden Conte is over the moon and signs a new contract and the Morata deal is done and dusted within a week Now why, if it was Conte who wanted Lukaku , and not Emenalo, was Emenalo spotted in talks with Lukaku? Why, if Conte AND Emenalo both wanted Lukaku, was no bid made for him, until he had all but already signed for Man united? Why did Conte sign the new contract with Chelsea the instant Lukaku signed for United, after weeks of stalling on it?
Why did Chelsea bid for Lukaku at the last minute if they knew their manager didn't want him and would resign if the offer was accepted? Why would they deliberately bid for a player knowing that they would be snubbed? Very odd behaviour if it's true Conte didn't want him and they knew he was definitely going to United. Your entire argument seems to be based on the fact that Conte wasn't spotted chatting to Lukaku.
