Chelsea

[Fredo]

I think he's pretty average. He's never done well in the big games against the better teams, bullied some players in games his team was clearly superior in. I can't believe that Chelsea aren't playing him right. Pretty sure it was an Abramovich signing anyway, not Tuchel's.

[Buzzo]

Yeah, I wasnt too arsed about Chelsea signing him, he is a bit of a flat track bully, and hasnt ever had any stellar perforances that I recall in the prem.

I dont think he wanted to leave Inter, but, money talks.

[Scratch]

Guess we will soon find out who in the Chelsea squad is not vaccinated, as they won't be allowed into France for their CL game.

Wonder how it would affect us? I know we have quite a high uptake on it, but it would have been interesting to know who hasn't and why (not for a witch-hunt, just idle curiousity).

Lukaku is like Heskey but without falling on his arse as often...

Lukaku is like Heskey but without falling on his arse as often...

And without the not scoring a lot of goals over a career bit.

Lukaku has already scored 96 more club goals than Heskey despite having played 252 club games less than Heskey.

Plus after a quick look, Heskey only scored more than 10 league goals in a season only once in his entire career. That was the 2000/01 season during which he got 14 league goals for us.

Lukaku has scored more than 10 league goals in a season 10 times to date and scored 15 or more league goals in a season 9 times to date.

Surgical precision on that takedown

Of all the transfers north of 100m only two can be considered real successes. Mbappe to PSG and Bale to Real Madrid.

Of the others Neymar and PSG and Ronaldo to Juve can be considered so so and all the rest are outright disasters

[Rafa Justice]

Shouldn't have left Italy but I imagine the money, the lure of London and a sense of unfinished business told him otherwise.

Bale is an interesting one…….. won the lot and scored plenty but never fit in there - how it’s ended for him is mad

Yeah, strange way for things to end.

Despite the ending it's hard to argue that his move there wasn't a success.

Funny how certain clubs are more prone to mega money flops. You would think that at some point they would learn that they could get so much more bang for their buck if they invested the same way in their scouting and analytics teams.

Uniteds entries on the list are staggering.

Pogba, Lukaku, Maguire, Sancho and Di Maria for a combined €430m

Disastrous

[danperkins]

Lukaku just doesn't fit Tuschels system, he just doesn't get the ball enough and in the right way where he is most dangerous. He's at his strongest and most effective when he gets the ball and runs at and behind defenders. Chelsea are not taking advantage of a guy that will get a **** load of goals if played correctly.

I just don't understand why they bought him in the first place if they cannot play a system that suits the way he plays. I can see him moving in in the summer if Tuchel is still there, too much had been played out in the media between them.

Must admit I never really bought into this best striker in the world mantra, Never saw him at Inter but was surprised that he had turned into the complete striker at Milan. Still looks to have the same lack of control as before

Heskey looked a world beater for one season< Maybe he just got lucky at Milan.
