Unfortunately it's not that simple. I hope we get a chance to at least try and buy him but we might get stream rolled by other richer clubs. We shall see.

We really need to keep him.

Some days he looks like a £20m player. Today he looked like Big Vic.

He likes the big games.

Romelu Lukaku is a summer target for Manchester City, who will offer the 20-year-old Chelsea striker - currently on loan at Everton - a five-year deal.

There there. Once we get CL footy next year, we'll be able to buy someone better.

I'm starting to think that Martinez will try and get a player from La Liga on a much smaller budget.

Get CL and he'll have huge choice.

I like Big Luka and would be delighted if he were to sign for us. However, there is better out there for more reasonable prices an we need to manage pur transfer budget. We're not in a place where we can blow all the budget on one player but qualification for the CL would certainly boost the budget and attract better players.

Luka would have a choice ... splinters in his arse at Citeh & the occasional loan to Wigan... or play every game for Everton

I tend to agree, especially if the £35M price tag is correct which I read the other day. I think that Martinez will end up looking elsewhere and looking for less money to spend.

hopefully that;s just shit journalism.. if we get CL I can see Lukaku being a real pain in Chavs arse to be let go for a reasonable fee...

If it truly is 35M then realistically he's ruled out price rise... he's good, but 35M is a valuation too high

Agreed. However, he is somewhat better than Andy Carroll.

Yeah, +1 there, Foo. It looks a shite website. Lukaku worth what people are prepared to pay (and most are willing to pay more than us) but £35m is ridiculous.

if he wants to join us and digs his heels in then the max compensation Chelsea could expect would be the remainder of his contract, so say 2 years at £8m a year, so £16m, but if it becomes a bidding war, it would go a lot higher. however, its not just the transfer fee, if someone wants to pay him £150k a week then he'll take it - we wouldn't be in the ball park.

150k / week for splinters in his arse at citeh... or 80k a week at GP being a star player....

I hope he wants to play football & then the decision is simple...

There is a lot of speculation being talked about, with various clubs expressing an interest in Lukaku, but at the end of the day what matters the most is what Lukaku wants.

If he makes it clear to Mourinho that he doesn't want to be at Chelsea and would rather be at Everton, then Mourinho will get shut of him. It will also be at a price that suits both clubs. Chelsea will not want to lose money and having paid £19 million for him, don't be surprised if the fee is around that ballpark.

Again, its down to Lukaku if any deal is to be made, regardless of who is bidding what.

Chavs didn't pay 19M for Lukaku..

they paid 10M ... rising to 17M with add ons... and my assumption there have been very few add ons as he has hardly kicked a ball for them

So if we agreed say, 19M as you suggest... I think Everton would consider that fair & Chavs would make a very tidy sum

Anderlect will be pissed off as they would lose the add ons ... tough shit eh...

Big Vic again last night. Poor first touch.
