so even with the whole money we will not get a good RWB, but only 2 shitty strikers. That's really a massive downgrade to lukaku and the team

Honest to G-d, better off pocketing that money than spending it stupidly. And for the level of football we (once wished to) aspire to, €30M strikers are basically shit.

Oh stop moaning,Lukaku wants to go.Marotta is pissed and he wants Lukaku to publicly say that he wants to leave. Fuck Lukaku and lets move on. He'll flop again in PL and we get 130m.

Inter are selling Lukaku for 130m to Chelsea, and somehow Atalanta are getting the best of that transaction too. They get to replace an ageing 30 yr old Zapata with 23 yr old Tammy Abraham, who IMO is already almost as good with a higher ceiling, plus make some money. I can almost see him achieving his potential at Bergamo.

This is annoying. I rather Inter get Tammy Abraham for 20m than Zapata for 40m. Cut Atalanta out of this transaction. Then spend 60m to get Vlahovic. Vlahovic+Abraham will not replace Lukaku's quality, but at least our future will look a bit better.

No he doesn't. Hakimi didn't want to go and Lukaku didn't want to go. Stop carrying Suning's water on this. Yes, if they tried with extreme urgency, they could block the moves, but if your employer keeps trying to sell you, eventually you're going to tell them to fuck off and move. Quit blaming the players for Suning's bullshit.

Not sure why you are dragging Hakimi in this, management flat out told everyone that Hakimi needs to go. Whereas in Lukaku's case they'd only sell if he wants to go.

The poster I quoted previously blamed Hakimi for doing the exact same thing he's saying of Lukaku now.

Dude please don't buy this absolute pr bullshit. Lukaku in no way is pushing for a move. Inter are trying to make it look like lukakus decision. He's only accepting it because inter are negotiating for him.

That is Suning / inter trying to save face, nothing more.

Only sad part of this sale is that we never needed to sell Hakimi. If we would've sold Lukaku then the 80M would've been here and we would have money to replace him too.

And how do you know? I would rather believe in credible sources like DiMarzio than a bunch of fifers who hate Suning to begin with.

Not saying he is pushing a move, him not going for a friendly when he was at man utd was pushing a move, Harry Kane not going to training is pushing a move. This transaction is on both party, Suning obviously wants to sell ( only stupid people believe that they don't want to) and rightly so; Lukaku wants to move. If he really doesn't want to move just tell them no, it's as simple as that.

It's been reported loads today. There isn't one report saying lukaku is pushing to leave. He is simply accepting the fact that inter are selling him. Just one source below because its very late, but it's quite clear Rom is happy to stay and is being forced out.

what are you talking about? Have you watched Tammy Abraham play? He is like an eunuch in a brothel when people throw crosses at him. Duvan Zapata is no Lukaku, but he is not horrible either.

Lukaku turned down an interest from City earlier this summer. Publicly turned it down for Inter. So no one can convince me that Lukaku is pushing to leave Inter. Its possibly a case of Inter accepting an offer and Lukaku agreeing to the move. Maybe he is giving up on Inter at best, and I can't say I blame him at this point.

As an Inter fan, I can only thank him for two years of great service, impeccable attitude and the Scudetto. Even when he is leaving, he is doing the right way so that Inter can get a good transfer fee for him. Imagine what the transfer fee would have been if Lukaku had refused to turn up for training to force a transfer, or worse, done an Icardi.

This one really hurts man. This dude seemed genuine in his passion to stay here. Bummer to say the least

We won't know the truth. Maybe he wants to go back to prove a point, or maybe he really wanted to stay here

The order of events as I see it using various sources, and previous 20 year knowledge of the shady transfer market which you bitches are just learning - nothing happens over night. And keep in mind we aren't fc Lukaku, we will live. I watched Cannavaro walk away for fucking free for fuck sake. Worse things can happen. Anyway events below.

1) after Scudetto someone in Chelsea talks up pasterello
2) pasterello, waiting for big pay day, talks up the idea to Lukaku, plants idea in his brain and ensures Jay z and roc nation sports are across this
3) Lukaku gets wooed by idea after New York visit, wants to play again in English speaking country and prove haters wrong
3) not knowing anything about this plot, we sell one player to balance books, it's sacrificial Moroccan tzatziki lamb, hakimi
4) inter hear nothing until 3 days ago where Chelsea offer 100, inter say no. Not yet. Mayne 130 and we will talk. Marotta and Zhang are in agreement on this. But by this stage you cunts already attacked them even for saying no assuming what's coming next you premature ejaculators.
5) nothing yet as we await Chelsea to make 130m offer

If Lukaku and his fuckhead of an agent were transparent we could have done this sooner. We always used to berate our management for not getting transfers and sales done early in the summer finally they do it and now we are angry at them for doing it so early because now we have to sell two of our best players.

We've lost bigger players in the past. We will lose bigger players in the future. Regardless of this we've always held our heads high and more importantly in the last few years we can be trusted to make slightly better decisions then the past where we would normally do so with either our hearts or just stupidity .

Considering we had toe hair who didn't know which club in Milan we were, suning have bought us back to be a competitive club and business. A sustainable fucking club and business.

They did the impossible and ended Juventus and Ronaldo's dream run. And you all of a sudden forget and have zero trust ?

I'm sorry but anyone with experience in this field would have done the same thing. Sacrifice one of their players early in the piece to give enough time to form the team and then when a curveball came out of left field you stand firm and say no but if they come back and it's an offer you can't refuse well then, you don't refuse it.

All of you drink a nice cup of cement and harden the fuck up.

Trust that we make good decisions with the money that we make from this deal. Just remember , don't think with your emotions, rather think logically and most importantly realistically. Here you have a very sensitive player who wants to leave. If you decide to play hardball, and refused the transfer you end up alienating him and you have a very sand in the vagina Lukaku next year.

If Lukaku didn't want this trust me it would have been dead in the water a long time ago.

In fact only thing you can do is understand the difficulty of making a selection now. Either you go vlahovic who is untested after one season and way too young and inexperienced too LEAD the attack for a champion team. Conversely Zapata is old but he is proven and be is strong. Almost like for like with Lukaku.

I suggest you let your emotions rest and try to see this from a business and analytical point of you with pros and cons because every move has them.
