Maybe next year if we stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7034 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Apparently Diego Costa has signed for Athletico for £22mil. 28 years old and one of the best strikers in the world. Strange price when you consider they sold Ake for £20mil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21959 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yeah, you'd think he'd go for double that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Where's it been said? I thought Atletico had a transfer ban and I doubt Chelsea would let him go for that if they're gonna spend 70 plus million on Lukaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4772 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 So if he signs for Athletico he can't play for them for 6 months, which I believe he's on the record as being fine with. It's also out that Conte messaged him at the end of the season saying he wasn't in chelseas plans for next season, which Costa put out on twitter or instagram or some shit which has hauled the price they could get for him through the floor. I guess its also possible that Athletico had a sell on/buy back clause for if chelsea ever were selling him which has resulted in just 22 million changing hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I was surprised he wasn't their first target as Morata has only warmed the bench for Madrid and 70 million is way overpriced for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't as much of a bit part player as you might think last season tbf, and his goal record in the time he did play is definitely impressive https://www.whoscored.com/Players/91213/Show/Álvaro-Morata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Prices are out of control since this new tv deal tbf. Lukaku has a good goal record overall but iirc I saw somewhere that it's not great against sides in the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7034 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 The worry is that most clubs are on board with the silly prices and are still looking to buy players. We seem to be more interested in loaning other teams kids. There's not much point in having youth teams if we insist on blooding other teams kids instead of our own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 45 minutes ago, Ant said: Nevermind lukaku there's players with literally one season under their belts like mbapee having £70m + bids rejected it's insane, tv money is to blame like but the clubs willing to spend it on transfers is the other issue, they've all fucked themselves over by holding each other to ransom, it means even bog standard average players approaching 30 are being sold between shit teams like Hull are going for £10m or more even, and on top of that they can maybe snag the odd player above their stature by completely blowing their budget and wage structure on players that frankly they shouldn't be anywhere near attracting. Aye you're right like, quotes of over 100m for an 18 year old that's had one good season in France and a decent showing in the CL. Insanity. It's fucked really that's why I hope Ashley has a rethink and stops thinking 14m for a player is splashing out or we'll be fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
