johnh Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 You know that feeling you get when you have been away for a while and return home. The warm glow you get when you drive up your street and see all the familiar signs and everything is right with the world. Well I felt like that when I logged in this morning and saw that Haf had posted on the Lukaku thread.

Paddock Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I think he's off myself and that's why he's not come back. Just a feeling nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeghead1 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 According to the Express it's Athletico that want him as Chelsea are refusing to sell them Costa back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Wow this all happened very fast. Very astute Haf I have to give you props, when he wasn't let back to training you knew he was off, and so he is. To be honest I'm a bit sad, I really liked romelu and hope we'd get another season with him. I really hope we get quality replacements.

markjazzbassist Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Nothing's happened Mark. Yes you're right. I meant the rumoured came out of nowhere. He was saying I want off, euros came and no rumour, training starts no rumours, then it's no training for you and all of a sudden it's Chelsea or atletico. Coincidence? I think there's something brewing hence leaving him out of training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jofanon Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 A few rumours Remy is included in the deal Would find it hard to say no to £65m and Loic Remy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 If they are adding a player to make up £10m we should be demanding Begovic. Remy excites me as much as Kone - would have liked him in the past but he's been bit part for too long. There's better and 'hungrier' out there. If we were to have an attacking player then I'd have Traore - top prospect who could actually improve us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainbeaker Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 If Lukaku leaves we will need to strikers and Remy is at least good enough for one of those two. He's more prolific than Kone, who gets a lot of stick but I think could have been a decent signing if he didn't get injured so soon into his Everton career. It will give us some time to find the Lukaku replacement, ideally someone that can hold the ball up and bring others into play more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 65 mil is a good offer for Lukaku. 65 mil plus Remy is an excellent offer. bluenosetoffee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenosetoffee Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 65 mil is a good offer for Lukaku. 65 mil plus Remy is an excellent offer. If Chelsea are seriously offering 65 million straight up then what an offer! You look at Suarez to Barcelona, that was 75 million and Suarez was consistent the whole time. Lukaku has his off days and can be brilliant one day then rubbish another, this could be down to age but if Chelsea are seriously offering that much then YES! Even without Remy - YES!

Hafnia Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 £65m for a player who can't be bothered quite often - and in all seriousness fluffs his lines when the stakes are high? let alone the fact that he is a technically poor player.... make this happen. I'm surprised clubs are interested in him after the high profile Euros and the FA Cup semi..... If we get Remy on top of that? wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Remy has done nothing for 5 years or so we don't need him. because he hasn't been played really due to Chelsea collecting strikers.... I think he's quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 It'll all be shite player swaps aren't very often nowadays. Happens all the time I'm journalism though, every deal rumours a player swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msloan78 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 £65m is a good deal, but it adds a chunk onto whoever we go for after that. Get a decent player thrown into the mix (I'd go for Begovic over Remy) and that deal becomes almost impossible to turn down... As long as that is obviously what is offered and not some more fiction from the papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) £55/60m and throw Begovic and Traore into the mix and I'd snap their hands off Both need first team football and are very unlikely to get it at that graveyard especially Traore who as C says is a great prospect and could do a job for us from the off and Begovic is a no brainier Edited August 3, 2016 by EFC-Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWooney Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 I've got a feeling he won't go. Lukaku touts for a transfer all the time but if we say no then he'll get on with it. I think 60m is very tempting and a great deal for us in terms of profit on the purchase but would we get someone who could do as good a job and hit the ground running? Sure there's lots of players around who have been bought for much less who have scored plenty for various teams but it's often a bit of a punt. Depending on how much he wants to leave I'd still be keen to to keep him as I think he will fit into Koeman's style well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirallas Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'd rather see Zouma in the swap deal than to get a Chelsea striker. But that's just my fantasy talking. I'd fancy a striker like El Shaarawy instead of the types of Remy. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) ^^ I was shot down on here for suggesting it earlier, but I'd love to see a Zouma/Mangala centre back pairing. I think together, with the right coaching (which Koeman could give them) they would be a formidable centre back pair for a decade at least.
