We should do what it takes to get Lukaku he is so much more mobile than what we have got playing for us at the moment and he can only improve as a player.

I actually think Lukaku will go back to Chelsea, he has had 2 great sesaons in a row and is probably ready to step up now.
He is everything we need honestly. Such a physically dominant force up-front, far more dangerous than Giroud.

No way would Chelsea sell him to us... wouldn't even loan us a player.

Mourinho would never sell him to us, not a chance in hell.

If Mourinho brought in Costa that would in all likelihood be it for Lukaku, esp. as Mourinho has actually said he still sees Torres having a future at Chelsea beyond this summer. I understand why Lukaku has been sent on loan, because areas to work on were first touch, decision making, and interplay, and to work on those you need regular PL football. However, there seems to be something that Mourinho doesn't like, whether it is technical or personal. There was a little spat a while back [1] when Mourinho said Lukaku was talking too much about his loan when Mourinho had explained to Lukaku why he was being sent on loan to Everton at the beginning of the season. The fact that there are noises in the media about Lukaku's agent talking to clubs suggests he will be sold, unless Mourinho has a sudden change of heart. However, Mourinho has done nothing so far to quell the speculation right now, and that speaks more than any rumours.

All I know is I'd hate Lukaku to go to Sp**s.
Just to put it in context, he's younger than Sanogo, and has 14 goals this season.

This basically sums it up. Secure top 4, then we have a clear advantage over Everton (and Spuds). I think the Lukaku-Mourinho undercurrent is that Lukaku wants to play regularly, not on the bench, that's what the reference confirms also, and no matter how good Lukaku is I don't think Mourinho is prepared to give him an assurance of being #1 striker at Chelsea so that will be it. He was a bit foolish for joining Chelsea in the first place really, although some young players kind of had a mythical vision of AVB at the time.
In an ideal world we should resolve to get the CF signing secured before the world cup. Establish that Cavani, Costa, and perhaps Higuain, are all unavailable, and if confirmed not, don't faff around and put in a bid for Lukaku, at a serious but fair price, probably 25m. Either Cavani will want to leave PSG at the end of the season or not. Costa can be tested quickly by activating his release clause and seeing what happens.
Strategically Mourinho has slightly tied himself into a knot because he said he would have sold Mata to either us or City if we had bid the same price as United, even though he did play games with us over Ba last summer, a silly thing because we shouldn't have been messing around through to transfer deadline day in the first place.
What impressed me with the match on the weekend was his ability to interchange with Naismith and play on the right pretty effectively, that pretty much secured it for me in terms of alleviating any doubts.

I watched the match again last night, this time to just focus on Lukaku's performance. He really was very impressive. He showed good mobility, speed (not like Walcott but not like Giroud either), good runs, and of course physical presence. I liked seeing him on the right; it showed his versatility. He would be a very good acquisition.

If you are going to look at how well Lukaku played you have to take into account how badly Arsenal defended. Gary Neville took us apart on his analysis. We are unable to do the simple things that 10 year olds can do and that is no exaggeration. We didn't close down, move across, cover players, put tackles in or track runners. Any forward would have a field day against that. It reminds me of when Bradford beat us. People singled out Vermaelen, but our defending as a team was terrible. When a left footed striker cuts in side two players and has the opportunity to just shoot on his strong foot that shows you how bad our defending really was. Any other team would have forced Lukaku onto his right or thrown their body at the shot.
Arsène Wenger was once again arrogant, thinking we had a good second half against City and therefore thought we could just go to Everton and do the same thing. Did nobody see his post City press conference? The smug look on his face when a journalist asked what did you change from the Chelsea game, he said 'nothing', and smiled, then look what happened against Everton. We can buy Reus, Lukaku, Draxler, Bender, and Griezmann, but that won't change the way we defend. That is the most important part of football. Not how you can score, but how you win the ball back to score.

“You know Chelsea, every year they buy a new top striker,” said Lukaku. “I remember me coming into the dressing room last year and seeing Samuel Eto’o and Demba Ba and going, ‘Whoah! What’s happening here? But no problem. Many clubs are interested in me. At this stage, I have to look to myself. I have to play a good World Cup. That’s very interesting for all the players looking for a transfer. And I must be one of them. Chelsea know my point of view.”
We should be all over this. We could get 10 years out of him.

I wonder if there isn't some sort of deal going on behind the scenes. Chelsea sell us Lukaku if we don't take up the Cesc option...we get our striker, they get their AM, everyone wins (sort of).
Hmm, as much as Maureen and Wenger dislike each other, they are both still businessmen...
Ah, who am I kidding, we're signing Loic ****ing Remy aren't we

They obviously were talking with each other re. the potential Demba Ba loan last summer, but of course we all know how that turned out. Mourinho last summer was a funny character though, dreaming that he was capable of a "reboot" of sorts on the back of his relative failure at RM, setting out his stall for being able to stick it out at one club for more than a decade, Wenger-like, more chilled and largely staying out of controversy. He was kidding himself, and of course the relationship with AW has since once again deteriorated.

Lukaku would be a terrific signing for a club like Everton or Sp**s, or maybe for one of those Italian clubs. ATM he wouldn't cut it at a higher level because he's strong, fast and is a good finisher, but contributes little to build up play and is useless when his opponents pack the box and don't give him space to run to.
