Firstly, I would be delighted to have Lukaku back. Do people forget the amount of chances that Costa also missed the last few seasons, Saw an info graph on Twitter and Lukaku had a much higher key chance conversion rate. Saying Lukaku blew the golden boot when Everton turned off and Harry Kane (the best striker in the league by far) started smashing 3 or 4 a game. LOL Lukaku is better than Morata right now. They play different roles in the same position. It's not my money and the club can pay as much as they like for all I care. Is Lukaku better than Auybamayang? I don't think so. But I think he is better than Costa.

Costa is a turd. but he is our first and we should respect him as a player. Hopefully we sort his exit out soon. With Milan signing Andre Silva it's very unlikely they need Diego now. Just gotten hope somebody with a ton of money needs a striker. I'd love to use him to get Griezeman or Saul but that's a pipe dream.

I'm an Irish lad living in Japan I feel like I am as passionate as almost any fan. I do all nighters weekly to watch our games and then go to work ridiculously tired. I've met a few Japanese with zero English who also do the same

Tonights the night we look back on this thread wondering why we ever worried so much!! It's gonna be a party weekend!!

They've got mega Chinese money now

The first one under José will be the greatest sporting win I have and will ever witnessed. Followed closely by the Champions league win. This season would be second and Carlos double would be third for me.

Possibility for Ruben to receive his second premier league medal in 3 seasons. No bad for a lad struggling to get game time. That's 2 more than Stevie Me. He does need a BPL loan though, no doubt.

Not retire it per se but I do think it should have a few years vacated.

Anyone else feel like Eden has been found out abit? (Temporarily) Yes Gana and Herrera fouled him and pulled at him etc but he doesn't have the solution to it. For someone like Gana, it would make more sense to pull him into our half away from the defence of out on to the wing but Hazard continues to stay central and accept the abuse he gets. A little worrying. On the plus side the remaining fixtures this season don't have any Gana / Herrera type players to mark him as well.

Yeah..... he didn't give much in the Everton game at all. Its so frustrating. Surely a Combo of Hazard, Willian, Pedro and Cesc is better than persisting with him?

He can be frustrating to watch in my opinion, but he has hit some big goals this year, that one at Everton was awesome. Whammy.

So we want Hull to beat Sunderland so it forces Boro on to us. Everton was the super big game. We struggled a bit but we battered them in the end, that's another big confidence booster and the fact that we kept a clean sheet is even better. Just win 3 games. That's it.

The clip of him jumping on T-Bos back and celebrating is marvellous. I love this man.

I look at it like this, if he leaves its for a world record fee, to a team overstocked with talent (Such as Morata) which lowers their value = a great deal to be done. If he stays Id be even heppier though. Like Bale and Suarez, if the offer is that huge and the players want to, let them go!

What a thunderblast Matic!. Sometimes theres nothing you can do but respect a goal.

Before the FA Cup semi-final I was so sure beating them would settle me and we would march on the title. But Im back to being nervy again. Im going predict us to win 3-1 at Everton. Somebody has to. Also, Hate them or not, I respect the y*ds playstyle and character. They are formidable this half of the season. Still, they should mind the gap!

HOpefully he gives us 90 minutes of quality against Everton. This game on Sunday is massive - the new biggest game of the season, if we win we win the league!!

He took a huge risk against Spurs (who are one of Europes best teams this season - espescially since January) and it worked off. That win has given me all the confidence that we will win the league under this man. Weve gone like 12 or 13 games without a clean sheet though.... thats worrying!

Love him or hate him, a big congratulations on him making the TOTS

Hard to see anyway Costa won't leave the club. I would be very sad to see him go, he is like a cult hero despite his horrendous drop off in form. If does leave, he'll leave a PL champion one more time

Losing to Palace and United so close is bound to make us nervous but 4 points ahead is still a dream. For me Contes big game is Saturday. Lose to Spurs and they have the mental edge on us. They'll be chomping at the bit and will successfully hunt us down. If we beat them, then I think although they will keep fighting in the league we will have mentally taken the league away from them. Huge game. Conte has to get his team and bench right. Spurs bossed us at the Lane and we need to match 3 in the middle.

That is just a stupid thing to do with the ball still live in the game

Seeing Palace beat Arsenal 3-0 relaxes me a little. We were so unlucky in that game. I agree with the above, beat José and his boys and we are on a good move. Even if we lose to our two toughest games (Everton and José) then we still have a 1 point lead over Spurs who would have to win every game to keep it like that. I'm relatively nervous but believing.

What l like about Alonso is his passing prowess from the left, we have been lacking a left footer since Mata. He does move about awkwardly and defensively he is a little bit nervous but in the current market for his price, we got a good player. He is starting a lot, but apparently he wasn't brought in to start and be more of a cover option in 4 or 5 positions. Which is interesting - could mean we sign another LB this summer? Great Free kick, +1 for nailing Belerin

With the initial fee we paid, loan fees received and not another 25 million Euros? I can't imagine we lost money on this Juan anyway.
