I don't think you become as rich & successful as Roman Abromivich by only doing business with people you like & refusing to do business with those you don't, business is business after all, grudges don't come into it.
What's the difference between Utd refusing to sell Rooney to Chelsea & us refusing to sell Modric, none really other than the media having a gang mentality over Modric not been allowed leave.
Chelsea have also done business twice in last year with Liverpool & there's every bit of bad blood between them two clubs, possibly more, than us & Chelsea.
If the money is right & the best offer clubs will deal with anyone, your only cutting your nose off to spite your face otherwise.
Have you read any articles on the history of the privatisation of the Russian energy resources, and how Roman actually made his money? Thy guy is a shark who wouldn't think twice about fucking over a competitor.

Yet he was welcomed into the UK and English football with open arms. Sad but true.

Abramovich became rich and successful through an onslaught of criminal activity, and is likely to be responsible for a large number of deaths. You couldn't pick a worse example of a 'business is business' person if you tried.
Jeeze your really over analysing the business is business quote, I said nothing about his misdemeanors or do I care to as this is a social media site & could be held liable for any slanderous accusations I made, so I will keep my thoughts on any criminal links to myself.
Anyway all my point was he has done business with rival businesses whoever they are so yeah business is business & crime is crime, I only referenced business

I have of course & would openly speak my mind on it, however not on here, He might as you put it gladly Fuck over a competitor none the less it would also not stop him doing business with a competitor

I'd much rather we went for Benteke. I think Benteke is the better alround striker.
With Benteke and Lukaku's respective forms, it will be interesting to see who gets the starting spot at the WC. Either way, you'd need to grab them before that happens. Their value is about to skyrocket.

Benteke is far better with his back to goal than Lukaku. Even if he isn't scoring then he's still useful to have on the pitch. Lukaku goes missing and doesn't offer much when he's not scoring. If Everton had any other options they would have dropped him 5-8 games ago.

Even if Chelsea were happy to do business with us we wouldn't pay market value for a striker like Lukaku, unless we sell one of our best players first.

I'd prefer we spent half the money on Batshuyi tbh
Don't we have an arrangement with his club? the same team who Zeki Fryers went to between Man U and us

I thought there's some kind of relationship between us and them?!? maybe this would aid us buying him

We can only hope. Him and Ezekiel on a double-swoop, please.
