Theregulars Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Did anyone else read in the Times 'Decent bets' thing that Lukaku was being loaned to another PL club? Loan = cheaper + he's young = may be us. Pure speculation on my part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Nah I doubt they're going to loan him to a side that finished above them last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I imagined it would be QPR or Fulham at first, but it says definitely not Fulham, not sure QPR can logically pay for anybody else. Perhaps a newly promoted club not too far away like Reading or Southampton? As I said, pure speculation, but he would certainly 'fit the bill' of our policy being young, cheap (on loan, although I suppose Chelsea would have to pick up a lot of his wages) and potential to improve (I would imagine any deal would include a clause to buy permanently if he impressed). I don't necessarily agree they wouldn't loan him to a side who finished above them, I think they want rid of him. Remember him saying he wanted out as well - although the reason was lack of first team football, which he wouldn't get in abundance here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Chelsea will only loan him out to get regular games, there'd be no point giving him to us. I reckon Reading or Wigan would be good for him, maybe they'll use it to sweeten their signing of Moses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like we didn't offer to take Carroll on loan from Liverpool? That was different, because there was going to be a future fee we would pay at the end of the loan to take him permanently. And surely it's therefore not beyond the realm of possibility that such a situation would be replicated with Lukaku?

Aye, but it would never happen now. It's just not an Ashley MO. I don't think you could ever say something 'is just not Ashley' unless it's spending an absolute wedge on a 30-year-old or something. Anything which is cheap, anything which represents a potential bargain, and any potential situation we can exploit - be it a release clause, be it an unhappy player etc - totally reeks of Ashley. However, to repeat, I'm totally speculating. As timeEd32 suggests, it could be West Brom. It could be any team. I don't know, it just struck me as opportunistic and thus something appealing to those who run the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 If we could agree a fee with Chelsea for a permanent transfer then sure i could see Ashley going for it, but just a loan to send him back at the end of the season i can't see him going for. In any case i doubt we would be in for him anyway. Also i agree with your final sentence, it is something in theory he could go for if the terms were suitable.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I reckon Ashley would have no problem taking Lukaku for 6-12 months if it meant he didn't have to spend a big amount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Pointless even talking about Lukaku to be honest, there is no way they will sell a player they spunked 18 million pounds on. We will not loan without the possibility of buying. So it will not happen in a million years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
