Drogba in Lukaku oot.....

[AlCapone 7,678]

Did the special one and Ally attend the same coaching courses at Largs?

Another trophy less season and the self proclaimed 'special ones' oot the door, reputation in tatters.

Pressures on

[MacBoyd 5,418]

Utterly bizarre

Where is Lukaku away to?

[6superbarry6 14,127]

Drogba is more a coaching role presumably to get the best out of Diego Costa,Lukaku was always going to go regardless of signings due to attitude issues, still expect another striker in if Torres can somehow be offloaded

[Columbo 588]

Be interesting to see if Lukaku goes out on loan or goes away permanently. I imagine it'll just be loan considering Drogba's deal is one year

[Gazzalivesforever 1,987]

Just doesn't make sense, lukaku working beside drogba for a season and he'll be some player.

isn't Jose a 4-2-3-1 man? can only see Costa playing as the lone striker

[Gazzalivesforever 1,987]

I mean on the training ground. Drogba is the exact player lukaku should try and be like. He has all the attributes.

Probably alot to do with the new FIFA FFP rules. £20m for Lukaku is good money and balances the books.

Farcical.

Do bayern, Dortmund, barca, real sign 36 year olds?

Will the English ever learn?

10 years from now, current rate,,not one English player will be in the starting team if the the top clubs.

Lukaku to Wolfsburg is doing the rounds again today. £22m.

Would be a good move for both Wolfburg get a player of huge potential and Chelsea get a substantial fee for a player who is far from the finished article as was demonstrated by his WC performances

At that age no-one is the finished article, I think he's outstanding and his performances for Everton last season were of the highest order.

A disappointing world cup doesn't make him less of a player, and for that matter a great world Cup doesn't make James Rodriguez (who scored one goal last season) worth 80 million either.

[Creampuff 22,628]

£22m for Lukaku is great business for Chelsea.

[gazza27 15,281]

Who's he away to?

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,667]

I don't get why Mourinho hasn't taken to Lukaku. He's still a bit rough around the edges, but on paper he's potentially everything he usually looks for in a striker.

[CoatbridgeBear 7,113]

Real Madrid now apparently

I've my doubts about him & certainly don't side with those who's opinion that Jose was mad not to use him last season.

The WC was reinforcing that, especially after he tailed off after a great start at Everton, however, the game where he came off the bench against USA & made a big impact made me think there could be something about him, after all.

Mourinho

Mourin heading for another trophy-less season

agree to a point although I do think Chelsea should've used him last season given their striking options £20+ m a good deal tho

You do have to wonder, if he'd done as well at Chelsea as he did at Everton in the first half of the season, how much better placed Chelsea could have been.

May have been Jose's plan to have him chipping away at their rivals every other week?

£20 mill plus would be excellent money.

[wearethemighty 186]

Liverpool should have bought him.

Where you pulling that from? He scored 10 goals from midfield and assisted 12 for Monaco.
