That whole everton team is basically already on vacation. Have got a europa league spot, the closest team behind them is WBA by 7 points and 2 games to play, the closest team ahead of them is arsenal by 5 points (and 2 games lesser played), and people are singling out lukaku's "laziness"against a swansea side battling relegation. 

Seems perfectly fair.

Yeah but Belotti has ran alot for 3/4 of a season so is already the better striker. 

s*n reporting lukaku doesn't want to go to chelsea and lukaku tweeted

man's so desperate for a chelsea return

I wouldn't be surprised if Lukaku does favour a move to Man United, he is probably starting to realise he won't be 1st choice at Chelsea under Conte.

If Costa goes and we buy Lukaku he will most certainly be first choice.

If Costa goes we will sign 2 strikers, Lukaku will come in as an Emenalo signing and Conte will demand Morata or Belotti, if we get one of those 2 then Lukaku will definitely be on the bench next season.

There's no way we'd spunk £60-80 mil on Lukaku and he wouldn't start for us.

Theres no way we'd spunk £60 mil on Morata and not start him. He is a guy Conte has wanted for a long time, Lukaku will be the one on the bench under Conte, he would probably get more minutes on the pitch than Batshuayi though.

We're not gonna buy both of those though. Lukaku whether you like it or not is gonna cost that amount of money. I think the guys overrated but let's not blind ourselves thinking Everton will sell for anything less than £50 mil. No way are we gonna spend that on him and he doesn't start.

We aren't  buying two £50m+  strikers to replace Costa. It'll  be one of Lukaku/Belottii/Morata and someone cheap like a Llorente who'll  be happy to be 2nd fiddle.

We will almost certainly sign 2 strikers in the summer if Costa goes, chances are Batshuayi will either be sold or sent out on loan as well, so there is a good chance we make 2 big money signings up front, we can easily spend £200-300m on signings this summer if we want to.

Well if we do and one is Lukaku he will be playing whether I, you or anyone likes it.

Nope. Conte will want 2 good strikers in, Emenalo will bring his man in and Conte will demand his man.

Exactly, we aren't gonna be spending over £100 mil on two forwards.

Of course he will get games like in the FA Cup ect, but he won't be 1st choice, he is not a Conte type player.

You're going to be in for a shock then, I guarantee you this summers transfer window is going to be insane, it's going to be normal for teams to have £40-£50m players sitting on the bench.

It's not gonna happen, Lukaku isn't gonna come here to play second fiddle to someone else. I think the problem is you're putting your own prejedices on him. I am in no way Lukaku's biggest fan but to think he will come here and not start is just delusion.

If we spend anywhere between £50-80 mil on one striker the other one isn't gonna be anywhere near the same value.

No. Clealry you don't understand that Lukaku won't be a Conte signing but an Emenalo signing, if Conte gets what he wants then I'm sorry but Lukaku won be starting.

Its 2017! Football is not how it used to be.

You seem to have some insider knowledge. How do you know who Conte would want? Or wouldn't want? You're basing it only off things you see. If Lukaku comes he will be first choice. We aren't gonna then go spend that same kind of money on a second striker.

Never said it was and I do t disagree about having expensive players on benches. Heck Micky cost £30 mil and barely gets a kick but he also wasn't a proven PL commodity like Lukaku. Lukaku isn't gonna come here (if he does) to sit out out. No way!

That's probably why the stories coming out about him favouring Man United, no doubt Emenalo will tell him Conte wants a hardworking striker who presses from the front, and we all know Lukaku doesn't like to fight for his place in the team, I don't think he has the character to come here knowing he won't be guaranteed a starting place. If Emenalo does convince him to come I can't see him being conte's 1st choice.

tbh Im not really a massive fan of either Lukaku or Morata for the prices we are talking.. I mean 60m each? That is ludicrous money. 

 

Given the chance I would prefer Dybala, but I know the chances of getting him are looking slim atm

Well it wont be 2 of the 3 i named. No way we spend 100-120m on strikers.
