Romelu Lukaku

[Shark]

It's good money to cover Suning's Covid losses. I doubt we'll spend much more than 50m on transfers if Lukaku is sold for 120ish million.

 

[.h.]

If you buy into the 80mil thing, we raised 60-ish with Hakimi, expect mybe 20-40mil from Lukaku to be banked. DDepends if we need to offset Nainggolan and JM or not.

According to Sky, Lukaku informed the club and the coach his intention to move to Chelsea even though the club didn't want to sell him. Inter will now try to close a deal for Zapata asap.

This is basically Marotta saying the player asked to leave and they had to satisfy him. This is going to be his narrative.

I don’t think anyone is upset about selling Lukaku for 130 million. It’s knowing that 60% at most of that will be reinvested. And it’ll likely result in a return of zapata and just outright buying nandez/bellerin. We aren’t going to go out and sign elite players. Which is what we’re losing.
For example, I’m against selling Lukaku. But if we sign Gosens, Vlajhovic/Zapata, and locatelli I’m fine with it. But that is not happening. Not even a chance.

Ok.No LGI section for him

I mean, could be the case. But also if we talk about how his salary could be doubled, then it may well be the truth that he wants out.

Absolutely. Pedulla reported yesterday Inter informed Pastorello if his client wants to go to Chelsea, he needs to ask for it by himself.

LOL. What a load of shit. Fuck everything about this club.

In a way I kinda feel bad for Big Rom.

People love him here and I don’t know if they will in London. A few bad CL performances and he’ll start being ridiculed by the media again over his high price tag.

I genuinely think he would have had a great season here. If Inzaghi can make fucking Immobile score 36 goals, I’m sure a Lukaku in the best shape of his life would do quite well.

But it’s time to move on. 130mil or whatever is a great offer and in the end I think it’s probably the right call, albeit a tough one. I echo the sentiment that the worst thing about this is that we already sacrificed Hakimi.

Realistically we are forfeiting next season. No one should expect a repeat. It would take a Herculean effort from the boys and Inzaghi himself. Just hope we don’t lose our grip on top 4.

At this point, that would be the pleasant surprise. I'm not expecting top-4 this season anymore.

 

[Jnr]

Sky knows shit. Paying 50M€ for a 30 yr old Gasperini system striker is catastrophic. Man played 7 matches in Copa America under different setup scored nada.

I wouldn't feel sorry for him too much. If you look at today's pictures, he was smiling ear to ear. Obviously that doesn't mean he is ultra happy with all of this, but I also don't think he is super sad as well.

I would take Belotti and Vlahovic if somehow we can have the package for like 60M tbh. We have a lot of players Fiorentina or Torino could be interested in. Sensi, Pinamonti, Salcedo, Satriano, etc.
Just, I don't wanna hear about Dzeko, Correa or Caicedo.

Why anyone would be considering Belotti after the euros is a mystery to me.

Yeah I believe 0% of that shit. There's no way Lukaku waited till right before the season to drop that shit.

There is nothing to feel bad for a guy who is about to double his salary.

Plus he can always decline the move if he values what he has here more.

We still have the best defense in the league and a capable midfield. That counts for a lot.

I can’t imagine Milan, Roma, and Lazio being in better shape than us. Napoli, Atalanta, and Juve are the primary competition imo.

If he doesn't want to leave, the club won't force him out and he will stay with us, its as simple as that. People need to realize that football these days is bussiness first, he gets offered almost double his wage in a CL winning team, he'd be stupid not to take it. He can say he loves this city and doesn't want to leave all he wants but if he leaves then it means he wants to leave.

Because I've been watching him for years and I would trust what I saw from him all those seasons over a few cameos in the Euros after he contracted the Covid. If we can get him for 15-18M + a player, I am absolutely positive it would be a good deal.

Exactly, Milan lost their key player and Chalhanoglu and they are better than ours all of a sudden because of Giroud? Napoli got Spalletti, this is the same Spalletti that many people hate on here. We'll still finish top 4 next season.

I believe he is A-OK with leaving for double the salary. I don't believe this whole thing was initiated by Lukaku saying get me out of here, which this Sky report implies.
