The Chelsea Thread

[zzeezzy]

Out of those 3 strikers, only one is actually better than him. If he stays, he will get plenty of opportunities. More to the point though, you complain that we don't give Lukaku opportunities ahead of an elite striker like Costa yet say my example is rubbish when I question whether you would do the same at United

Pretty sure Lukaku isn't stupid... he's obviously hearing noises that he won't or he wouldn't be making a fuss. You've only just bought a good striker is the point. It's hardly encouraging when you have 4 strikers to fight for one spot... one of which is virtually an automatic starter.

 

[Alcaraz]

Every club in Premier League makes money through this.... United make the most and have the right to spend it more than anyone else because they earn the most. It's just logical really.... I'm not going down this route anyway... for some reason you had to bring it up.

Umm okay. So you first started off by saying that everything Chelsea/City spend is oil money. When I pointed it out to you that most of what they spend is actually earned through the revenues they make, you totally side-tracked everything. Right-o

Forgive me, I just find it funny how United fans spent years criticizing Chelsea and City for spending their way to the top and yet now are in a state of unbridled optimism when their club is doing basically the same. Where the money came from is pretty irrelevant to me imo so if you want to start a debate on that, feel free to find someone else

Now you are descending into hypotheticals ... Every interview Lukaku has given, it's him saying that 'Either I am first-choice or I am out'. Not sure what you are even talking about tbh. Mourinho is a pragmatist. Lukaku is the second best striker. It logically follows that when Costa gets injured or loses form, Lukaku will get his opportunity

 

[zzeezzy]

Funny how you talk about money ... Guess which club is throwing the big money around now?

No you started it Alcaraz with this childish attempt to go down that avenue.

You don't care about how the club makes the money? Convenient.

Lol wait, weren't you the one who said 'Chelsea fans are used to money buying everything in the RA reign'

Before you start accusing me of starting things, maybe you should cut out unnecessary comments of your own

 

[IanC]

Just sell Lukaku to Tottenham. The end.

this could go for a while

Is that not true then? Or is there some other reason for Chelsea's sudden uprise and dominance with buying anything.

Depends ... Will he be first choice? A great striker like him cannot sit on the bench. Mourinho is a **** for freezing out such a complete striker

I might go get some popcorn.

I'll bring something to drink. Strong alcohol.

Never said it isn't true ... Chelsea spent their way to the top. Quickest way to get there. United are doing the same now. Just pointing out the hypocrisy in your statement

I'm just pointing out United got there from what the club earns and has built up... not from what the owners give them.... if anything United's owners right now only take away from all what we could have.

Still spending your way back to the top

for the love of god zzeezzy just leave it will you

He'd have a greater chance there then at Chelsea... it's just a fact... Pochettino is renowned for it and Soldado/Adebayor are hardly showing anything great.

Why? I want to see Lukaku given a chance.. I'm genuinely curious as to what it takes a young player like him to get a go at Chelsea when he has been impressive both times he has been sent out in the same league.

 

[IanC]

This is a case of my daddy spent more money than your daddy but I win because my daddy had to work hard to give me my pocket money while yours just hands it out because he has loads of it sitting in a bank account.

Who cares how the money is given or spent. The only thing that will matter is who finishes above who at the end of the season.

And he will get a chance at Chelsea! But he isn't happy with that ... He wants to be first-choice! Is that really so hard for you to understand?

thing is if thay did not have a owner thats as mad as bag of hammers then maybe youth would be given more of a chance but lukaku does not help himself saying he need to be number 1

Exactly, no one here actually argues that United give more chance to Youth than Chelsea so not sure why zzeezy brought that up ... Whole issue is that Lukaku things he is ready to be first-choice when he clearly isn't
