Frankfurt's manager and chairman basically confirmed it. Worst kept secret, not worthy of a news.

Yes and Poland's manager told reporters that Lewandowski was going to Manchester United before the World Cup. Personally for me it's only complete when it's on the official website. Maybe it's different for you. If you don't want to read it than don't.
The Bundesliga really is a pointless league with Bayern's monopoly of it. If another team dares to win the league, they'd just go and take away their best players. They have the title wrapped up for the next two years already.
No doubt that Chelsea would sell us Lukaku in my mind. Reports they want around £20-25m for him, and I'd offer that in a heartbeat. Bargain. Bloke is good for 20 league goals a season for the next 10 years.
Yep. He'll score a similar amount of goals for us that Costa or Cavani would, already PL proven, and still so much to work with in terms of his development.
Physically he's already unbeatable.
Leaves some dosh over for a top wide forward as well.
I don't think Chelsea will mind too much selling Lukaku to us either. A loan of any player Moron will most probably block every time, but not the sale of a player he deems is surplus to requirements. Chelsea is making a real effort to follow the FFP, so they can't be too picky when it comes to sales I reckon.
How often do you see a club dictate where a player ends up? Like we saw with van Persie or Lewandowski, if you make your mind up the club can do little about it other than keep you and I think Chelsea would rather take the 20m.
Probably get some clubs looking at Lukaku as a stocking filler / extra if he's really only £25m.

Like I said before, Costa to Chelsea, Torres going the other way and a loan extension for Courtois. We aren't even in the running here no matter what we offer. I'm inclined to believe the stories in January that his agent told him to hold out for Chelsea move in the summer. Also the player wanted to stay at Atletico for the season for his World Cup place and as his team were doing well.
I'll take Lukaku and Remy right now, get rid off Giroud and get in good DM and we're good to go.
Yep. Lukaku would be awesome. I have given up on Costa long ago anyway. Cavani and Falcao are not even realistic. Dream summer: Lukaku, Draxler and a powerful DM like Carvalho, Bender etc. Would adress all our weaknesses. Easily doable for £100m.

Good to go for 4th again.
No thanks to Remy.
I'd rather Morata than Lukaku tbh
Erm ...

On the basis of what? On your one-liner? Lukaku actually scores against the big teams and while the midfield behind him is solid in Barry and Mccarthy it isn't exactly creative. With Ozil here and another years worth of exp he can score 20 in the league for the next 10 years. Remy as a backup has a 1 in 2 record in the league. Of course I'd prefer to take Costa but on the likely basis he goes to Chelsea i'd prefer Lukaku to most of the others mooted certainly more so than the nutcase that is Balotelli. Obviously a good DM is needed too.
Predicted that Chelsea would be the most likely destination for Costa if they wanted him. Chelsea's ties with Torres and Curtois always looked quite promising for them.
Indeed, Lukaku really isn't as good as people think imo. If he was no way in hell Mourinho would entertain the thought of selling him. Eto'o will probably leave and if he is going to flog Torres & Ba then surely it would make sense to use Lukaku as backup if they sign Costa?
Lukaku already asked to leave last summer, hence being at Everton, and sitting on the bench behind Costa probly ain't gonna float his boat.
