He is not good enough for Chelsea.... there is a reason we got rid of him once... I wouldn't give u 7 million for him let alone 70 million.. never scores in big games... u show me a video against any top five team where he has shown he is worth that sort of money like costa has....

Awful argument. Costa has scored less in big games than him.

Because I dont think it will.

 

£60m+ for Lukaku and £5-10m for Llorente.

 

Do you honestly see us buying two £50m+ strikers when playing a 1 striker system?

We may not be playing a 1 striker system next season

He does not have one. It is his opinion, which he believes is a fact.

I will refer you to Conte's recent quotes on Lukaku and Costa

"Lukaku is a good guy but for us Diego is very important and, in this part of the season, he will be decisive for us," said the Italian.

"We are talking about two great strikers. But you know that Diego, for me, is the best striker in the world.

"I think it's great to have talent. But I like a lot when you are a warrior during the game and, above all, if players with talent show they work hard during the game."

Conte has always had warrior type strikers or hard working type strikers like Vucinic, Matri, Quagliarella and Tevez. Lukaku doesn't fit that profile, which is why it's hard to imagine Conte wanting Lukaku as his 1st choice striker.

Thank you. So it is just your opinion, and not a fact as you would have us believe.

Don't know what you mean by this? When did I say it is a fact that Conte doesn't want Lukaku I have said I don't think Conte will be happy to have Lukaku as his 1st choice striker.

Where is Conte QUOTED as saying he doesn't want Lukaku, as you have suggested. And as I said before, Conte has used many comments to gee up Costa, since January

Where did I ever say Conte has said that??? 

This is a forum where people give their opinions, I have given mine and backed it up based on past events, you keep asking for quotes as if I'm going around saying Conte has told me he doesn't want Lukaku.

its my opinion based on the type of players Conte likes, that he won't want Lukaku as his first choice striker, I never said this was a fact. It's my opinion that Conte has used Batshuayi so little this season because he is neither a warrior type striker or a hard working striker, that is my opinion. it's my opinion that Morata ticks all the boxes for a Conte type striker, and that Conte will want Morata more then he wants Lukaku, I never said this is a fact but based on what i know about Conte I have formed these opinions. 

So stop asking me for quotes and try to understand the difference.

And you keep quoting articles, trying to argue your opinion, when there are no facts substantiating your opinion. I'm sorry but you comparing Gareth Barry's passing ability/service with Fabregas' passing ability/service, earlier in this thread, does not allow me take you seriously.

I understand the difference mate. You have said yourself that Conte does not want Lukaku. You have been asked by many on here to back up your comments with a source. However you may want review your comments. it is like talking to a split personalty. IMO, you would have an argument with your own reflection. Cheers mate, enjoy your day.

If I had facts to back up my opinion then it wouldn't be an opinion would it? 

and again you are proving you don't understand what you read, because Barry played a world class pass against Watford doesn't mean I think he's as good as Fabregas at passing.

The fact you can't understand that does not allow me to take you seriously, also the fact you think Conte wants to gee up Costa by talking about him to the English media (as if Costa listens or reads anything from the English media) rather than use his man management skills and speak to him face to face also makes me not take you seriously.

Yes as I just told you I do not think Conte will want Lukaku as his 1st choice striker, you clealry don't like people who have a different opinion to you unless they have a quote to back it up right? 

And literally no one else has asked me for quotes as I have backed up why I think Conte won't want Lukaku, you can choose to ignore my reasoning as clealry you are just looking for a quote. Lol.

Mate, managers use press conferences all the time to to get messages across to the team and individuals.

See above mate, maybe it was your other personality that asked for this. Your deluded mate, as I stated before, review your posts. Cheers, and have great time arguing with your reflection.

So once again you just run around in circles without actually posting your opinions as to why you disagree, I am starting to think you don't have any opinions just looking for that magical quote.

"also the fact you think Conte wants to gee up Costa by talking about him to the English media (as if Costa listens or reads anything from the English media) rather than use his man management skills and speak to him face to face also makes me not take you seriously.

So you think because some managers have done it in the past you think every time a manager says something about their player it's to gee them up? 

This is Costa and Conte we are talking about.

in fact let me use your logic, show me proof that Conte said that to gee up Costa, show me your quotes and sources proving Conte only said that to gee up Costa. 

I think if Lukaku was put on the same diet as the current Chelsea side you'd see a much better player, hes got a bit of excess weight and I mean that hes a bit too soft and not as lean as you'd hope.

This current squad is in tremendous shape due to the diet and training, if we were to get Lukaku in Juy and he had a full pre-season with us, you'd see a devasting CF scoring 20-25 goals next year in the league, IMO.
