apparently website now say RM has said rumours that he is confident of resigning Lukaku are wide of the mark?

But he will sign a new striker ahead of the season!

Surely that goes without saying! and only one?

Regardless, other people at the club are talking. Which would not be sanctioned. Not only that if Bobby is asked to confirm that he did say we were close to signing Rom, he would also have to confirm that we are close to signing Rom. Untill he's our player Bobby can't disclose to any press outlet the details of the deal, purely because the press would twist his words and print everything but the truth.

Different stories coming out, one rumour that Lukaku will be loaned for a year then an option to buy for 25 million euros. Considering it would cost about 5 million euro for the loan, that's 30 million total for Chelsea, more than anyone else would pay, in effect a staggered payment. quite creative you have to agree, but would rather buy him outright.
