Romelu Lukaku - Chelsea's loss (for this season)

It is the going price for a good proven striker in PL

Just feels a lot for us

this is true


it's good business

Diego Costa =32 mill, Lukaku 28 mill not much in it considering Moureen at Chelski didn't fancy the big man.

Tonts makes sense - so was McCarthy bought with the Arteta money then?

Fantastic commute to work in London this morning!   Big picture of Rom and Martinez holding up the number 10 shirt on the back page of the Metro!   Everywhere I looked I could see their faces!
 
They print millions of copies of the paper dailly in London so the audience reach is massive!   It would probably cost a fortune just to get that level of publicity.    Couldnt resist a smug grin on the underground!

They print millions of copies of the paper dailly in London so the audience reach is massive!   It would probably cost a fortune just to get that level of publicity.    Couldnt resist a smug grin on the underground!

Morning Cahill, which underground line you on? I used to do the Piccadilly & change for wood green every weekend lol, so many miserable faces, read the metro a lot specially after our games.

Unfortunately I have to travel from South-East london to West London (White Shitty) every day.  This means I have to use the Jubilee, Victoria and Central line to get to work.   Not as mserable as usual as the weather is really nice which makes everyone a lot happier - gets bloody hot down there in the tunnels though!

used to live in Sydenham, but moved out to Beckenham as it was much prettier (and had massively discounted bank sport centres out there)

...yeah, but what about that new shirt?.....

and I don't mean the number 10 (which is neat)

I know it well.   I live up the road from there in Forest Hill.  Not sure when you used to live there but the area has changed massively over the past 5 years - now has a tube and a smarter high street.

Wasnt aware that Rom has scored more league goals for his age than all the world's best had done at 21!   It nice that we've broken our transfer record on genuine class this time rather than average players in recent years like AJ!

I believe the £3m add-ons are if Everton qualify for Champions League and win siverware!   Even better!

I was there in the late 80's and it was a bit of a hole in those days, the M25 gang lived around the corner from me and some guy had an axe buried in his head in my local pub, ..... ah yes, those were the days, loved the place, it reminded me of home

Great buy for the club, shows to other players that we're progressing as well.
Lukaku in for £25 million (I thought it was a lot but if Lallana is valued at £25 million then it's a good price for someone that will get goals) and all our best young players having signed long term deals   

The future is bright with Lukaku, Barkley, Coleman, Stones, McCarthy and Besic all young lads and hungry for success

I'm looking forward to seeing what McGeady after a full pre-season under his belt. He clearly wasn't fit when he arrived in January so hopefully now he can show why Bobbie brought him in!
