Re: 2014 Summer Transfers Rumours Mk.IV

by Onyx Sat Jun 07, 2014 2:47 pm

Romelu Lukaku has admitted he may have to leave Chelsea this summer amid speculation the club are closing in on Diego Costa.

The 21-year-old striker has spent the last two seasons on loan at West Brom and Everton as he has been repeatedly overlooked by his parent club.

And the Belgian, who scored 16 goals for Everton last season, admits he does not expect the situation to change in the near future.

"You know Chelsea: every year they buy a new top striker," he said.

"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 and 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."

Lukaku is understood to be a target for several Premier League clubs, as well as Primera Liga champions Atletico Madrid.

Reports in Italy have also suggested that Juventus have contacted Chelsea about the possibility of taking Luaku on loan, with the option to make the move permanent next summer.

MDS did say it all depends on what Milan wants to do with him, and judging by that, if Madrid sends a good offer, i highly doubt we'd reject.

Anyways, what type of midfielder is Casemiro like? I'm guessing sort of like NDJ? (Going by the links)

Nobody knows. He didn't play for Castilla much (junior Madrid), then miraculously made the Madrid senior squad this season... looked ok in preseason. And then never saw the light of day again Laughing

Your guess is as good as mine with Casemiro.

Casemiro is talented, i dont know why he doesnt play much, but our former castilla coach said that he doesnt train well, but when he plays games, he is crazy competitive. He is talented, overconfident, but it's a good thing.

by Onyx Sat Jun 07, 2014 3:19 pm

From what I've seen he looks like a pure DM. Doesn't offer much attacking wise.

by Onyx Sat Jun 07, 2014 3:39 pm

Hopefully we don't sell Di Maria. He fits us better than Pogba and Vidal. Also would Juve be buying him to play RW? Because he's awful there.

Well, he was quite good when he played for Nürnberg 3 or 4 years ago, but then he had two lengthy injuries that threw him back and when he went to Dortmund, he just never got past Robert Lewandowski, and when he played he simply wasn't fully convincing either. Maybe it works out for him with Celtic.

He's an all action guy, can pass, dribble, he'll fight for loose balls really well and he's very good on set pieces.

I'd say his decision making is suspect at times and he could read the game a lot better but stuff like that comes with time. His tackling isn't very clean for a guy most would consider a DM though.

I really like him as a player and I think he has potential.

Casemiro is a B2B.... that's what he played in Brazil and that's where he's looked the best the brief times he's played. He's like Song when he plays DM lol.

I wonder what the guys at Sport are smoking. Can't be anything less than crack. So the team that historically never ever sells their key players is OFFERING us one of their homegrown talents who is performing and a huge fan favourite.

I mean I understand making up rumours to sell stuff but how far away can you be from reality, at least make up something half realistic.
