re: Chelsea 2014/15 Season Long Thread

"Romelu was always very clear with us with his mentality and his approach was not highly motivated to come to a competitive situation with Chelsea. He wanted to play for Chelsea but he clearly wanted to be first-choice striker, but for a club of our dimension it is very difficult to promise to a player."

"That reduced, immediately, his desire to come to us. After that Everton came with an important offer and as I always say, because it's the reality of our club and we want to be inside the Financial Fair Play rules, it's always in the thoughts of the board. The important thing is that he's happy and things work well for him, he's a good kid and has his way of thinking and organising his career."

I don't get the freak out over Lukaku. Is it because he looks like Drogba? The dude has less technical ability than just about anyone I can think of in the EPL. There's a reason Everton was the biggest club to make an offer. We don't compete with Everton. We compete with the Madrid's, Bayern's, Barca's, and City's of the world. I would have loved to have seen Romelu grow into something special at Chelsea but he obviously wants a cush guaranteed spot at a smaller club. Peace dude. Good luck with the trophies.
