Lukaku: I Made A Mistake Saying I Only Wanted Chelsea
Anderlecht striker Romelu Lukaku has backtracked on claims he will only move to the Premiership this summer.
The talented 18-year old is thought to favour a move to Chelsea, with the West London side locked in negotiations with the Belgian outfit over the sale of Lukaku. However, Chelsea refuse to meet Anderlecht’s valuation of the striker with rumours suggesting talks have broken down.
Arsenal have also been linked with a move and the powerful forward has told Belgian TV show Extra Time that he has no preference to which club league he joins next year, as long as they are a big club in Europe.
“The negotiations with Chelsea are always ongoing but perhaps I have made a mistake with some of my words in the media when I’ve talked about only wanting to play for Chelsea,” Lukaku said.
“Actually my dream is to play for a top club European and I do not care whether they are from England, Spain, Italy or Germany.”

When did this chelsky start winning? It wil take chesky 20yrs to equal arsenals premier league record goin by d current trend. You chesky seem to av short memory. It took u fifty years to win! This means a generation was born, they lived and passed on without seeing chelsea(no…. chesky) win a tea cup. 50-6 =44. Its still remaining 44yrs to equal ur ground breaking record?

yea mate and what top player wants to play for Arsenal last time checked no one. If anything you top stars want to leave, so dont talk about us not winning a trophy for many years. Arsenal wont be wining the premier ship for many years to come, u will be lucky if u finish in the top four next season. To put it bluntly your team still has to qualify for the Champions league. I dont usually get involved in these peti debates, but when u get a person who still dwells on past acheivements and history its a joke. Arsenal have not won the league for 6 yrs now even spurs and Bham have won a trophy ahead of Arsenal. Right on Lukuku this deal to Chelse will be done soon, along with Modric and Pato.
If we dont get Modric than Kaka will be.

firstly Jasega, i think man city have a more expensive strike force than chelsea, aguero £38m, tevez around £30m, dzeko £27m and balotelli £24m, that adds up to more than torres, anelka, drogba and sturridge.
russo92
August 5, 2011 at 11:31 pm
secondly DJ Sav, Pato has officially announced he doesnt want to leave milan until at least the end of his current contract so he definitely wont be going, and tottenham have said no to selling modric at all even after the player putting in a transfer request and anderlecht seem to be trying to hike lukakus price up so chelsea will most probably get him but it will be for at least £20-25m
and Wenger as a man city fan i will fully admit that we wouldnt be anywhere without the sheiks money, but we’re just doing what the old top 4 have been doing over the last 10-15 years from theie extra income from various places, its the only way to break into the monopoly of the top 4

Yea mate, if u know your football u would know Torres had a bad Injury before the world cup, he never was the same player, even when he came back from the World Cup, a good example of this is your want away skipper Mr Fabregas, along with Van Persie can u honestly admit they were both the class players when they recovered NOOOOO! Now your captain is leaving for Barca, and Nasri looks to be heading for Machester City. On Shevchenko the Ukrain player your chatting about, not Russian. I will agree with u he was a waste of money and a mistake that we bought him. But i can say if he went anywere else in the premiership he would have struggled. No doubt in my mind Torres will come great this season, he has showed this already in preseason.

RVP was not world class when he recovered from injury ? HAHA f*cking HA .. Cleary you are mentally unstable ! When RVP came back he scored a silly ammount of goals .. ONLY Berba and Tevez scored more and RVP played half a season ! What league do you watch buddy ? Torres WILL be the most expensive flop in the history of football ! Stop living in denial ..

You lot these days are a bunch of glory-hunters and not a whole lot more .. Please dont talk about Arsenal and Chelski on the same level .. Lets see what you win in the next 50 years and MAYBE just MAYBE you would have a fraction of the proud history that The Arsenal have … #mugs

August 5, 2011 at 2:40 am
At least we are keeping our best players, all of Arsenal’s seem to be leaving, Clishey has already gone, pardon my spelling, your captain and nasri seem next. About us being Glory hunters if i am not mistaken when Arsenal one the double they did not have players coming through ranks as i recall Viera, Pettit, Honary,and overmars were all bought players, they are the ones that made u great. I agree with u on one thing your not on the same wave length as us when it comes to buying players. The saddest thing of all is your team cant attract the big name players despite your ground capacity. All the big name players u have now all want to leave. As for wining the league we will it more times than Arsenal, as well as the champions league. Oh yea we do have history the likes of osgood, david webb, Ron Chopper Harris, neil dempsey, these are probbley names u have never heard of but they were Chelsea’s History long befor Roman bought Chelsea that’s why we have ozzie Statue the man who made history at our club for many many years. Carried over from the likes of Kerry Dixon, Pat Nevin, Gordan the duke box durie and so on. Please get your facts right when you talk about us having no history.

Let me give you facts mate ! Chelsea won 1 league title (55) prior to Roman coming on board. You’ve won it 3 since, plus 6 FA Cups 3 either side of gaining your sugar daddies money ! The Gunners on the other hand have won the title 13 times and FA Cup 10 times ! How bout you revel in the last 7 years and we will hold close to our hearts the previous 100 LOL .. Our best players want to leave ??? Are you sure .. Clichy was a liabilty, well past his used by date ! Cesc wants to play for Barca – Do I really have to get into the FACTS (which seem to excite to) about why he would want to play for them ? Nasri for all true Arsenal fans care can kindly f*ck off ! 6 good months was all we got out of him .. Now your best players .. Please enlighten us on how old they are HAHAHAHAHAHA .. You are having a laugh .. Oh and speaking of “the players made u great” in reference to the Vieiras and Petits we had, please tell us all who they were before they came to Arsenal ?? What did your Dixons, Nevins & Gordons win you ??? PEANUTS mate ! WHERE’S YOUR HISTORY ???? WHO R YA WHO R YA WHO R YA ???? #chump

Dixons, Nevins & Gordons and the rest of them ended their Career with Chelsea. those are who you call LEGENDS, how many of yours stayed to see out there playing days with ASSNA.. 55yrs we were nobody but now we are force to reckon with. before you even think of ASSNA Chelsea would have been mentioned over a million time.. our sugar bought trophies same trophies you bought back in the days.. KEEP your HISTORY to yourself and let play modern day football.6yrs with no trophy let you talk of been better than Chelsea. You are hating because your beloved club will soon fade and would be history.. GET A LIFE AND SHUT UP.

With an average age of 55+ i think CHELSKI are more in danger of fading away mate, espescially after seeing how EASILY we dominated you at the Emirates last year – remember Outplayed, outclassed, DOMINATED !! 3-1 ? OOHH your legends stayed to the end of thier careers huh WOW that’s O for Owesome ! Damn i wish ours had stayed to the end as well when they were old and past thier best maybe then we would have ALL that success that your club had back then with your LEGENDS !!! LOL … You have no arguement here mate, you HAVE been #owned .. Keep suppporting your 6 year old club that was born out of MONEY !! Let’s see what happens when your sugar daddy decides he wants to put his money into something else ! He wants Champions League thats ALL and face it you wont be winning it anytime soon whether you admit it or not ! WHERES YOUR HISTORY ???? WHO R YA WHO R YA WHO R YA !!!!!!

I’ve learned there are two types of Blue supporters, people like you clearly support CHELSKI, the below comment is from a CHELSEA fan:
“chelsea4life says:
im a die hard fan but even i have got to admit that we have got to do alot of work until we can class out selves in the same bracket as arsenal. all we’v done is pump money into proven talent, of which some completely flop (shev, jerkoff,torres)and spent stupid sums on replaces manager after manager. we should take a leaf out of their book one day im sure we’d benefit a great deal”
This is reality buddy ! Football aint about money, its about HISTORY, values and traditions maybe when you grow some pubic hairs you will understand this !

Belgian newspapers have just posted breaking news that Lukaku has agreed personal terms for a 5-year contract. It’s surprising given that it also says that the clubs haven’t agreed on the fee or its details yet. However, it does look like he’s inching closer to wearing Chelsea shirt next season
