Romelu Lukaku: Chelsea break club transfer record to re-sign striker from Inter Milan for £97.5m

Romelu Lukaku returns to Chelsea 10 years after he first joined the club; £97.5m signing eclipses the Blues previous record purchase of Kai Havertz; Lukaku was the second top scorer in Serie A last season

Close, but go for it..... Close enough. (Thought it was 100m euro but whatever)

However; the way you're talking; it's suggestive that all the other top 6 do it regularly. Which is patently false.

I know you enjoy arguing semantics on here but the point of the original post was obvious and clear. We don't shop at the top shelf.

LOL....... You're the one arguing semantic..... I didn't even engage you.

.....Bloke said we "never" will so long as ENIC are here; I responded accordingly.

Have we ever spent £100m? No.

Have Arse? No.

Have they even spent 70m? Once.

Is that "regular"? No.


.....Comparing our spending against Chavs & City (and Man U) given what we know about their income and wealth is false-equivalence and tedious.

'Fans like me' aren't fixated by silverware, and are in it for the journey. We know our lives won't change when we do win something. So I just enjoy the journey and appreciate what we have, not what we haven't.

Genuine question, if it's only about the journey for you, does it matter for you if we win or lose?

for example, if we got relegated, could it not still be about the journey?

These aren't piss take questions. Sport has always been about winning for me, so I struggle to understand the "trust the process" spiel. It was a line from the Philadelphia 76'ers in the NBA when they decided to lose on purpose so they could get better draft picks. The idea was that the process would result in better players and eventually winning. To this day, the winning is yet to happen.

I can understand not winning, it's part of sport. The idea that winning isn't the goal makes zero sense to me.

Stability and focused incremental improvement will do me. It’s always about winning. The pain of losing is what makes us come back for more however. Pool and the goon cunts now have done okay ‘trusting a process’ and at first we’re not all that great under wankteter and plop.

My point was simply: if you’re a miserable frustrated cunt now, silverware won’t solve much. It will give us a big buzz for a day or a week, and life will continue. So enjoy the socialising with your mates that football affords, watching player like Kane and Kulu and back the club to deliver focused step by step change that will keep us in the mix for success.

Mudryk has looked incredible in the admittedly small sample of games I've seen in him. Thought his impact from the bench vs Liverpool was special as well, electric player. Exactly the kind of livewire we need to give our attack a bit of spark & energy.

If not him, we need to be interested in someone like him. We completely lack flair.

We got richarlisin to give us that spark and energy unfortunately his not that great with the ball and is often offside.
