Ed's, anyone, any sign of existing players signing new contracts? Namely Barkley and Robles who's contracts expire in less than 18 months. Lukaku has a little over 2 years left on his and there was talk of him signing a new one before Christmas. Albeit from his agent who may have been trying to ignite interest.
These are 3 players I'd certainly like to see tied down. I'm sure there are probably one or two others that I'm not aware of whose coming to the end of their contracts also.
{Ed001's Note - I don't know about Robles, but Barkley was keen to get a new contract and expected to sign one before the summer.}

I was wondering the other day about Lukaku and his contract was said to be 99% done so did it get finalised and signed?
{Ed025's Note - not as far as i know ST, i heard it was close to being sorted but have had no confirmation yet mate..

Read an article that Lukaku signed a contract last December earning over £100,000 a week and has a get out clause of £80m. It also said Chelsea are going to give that amount in the summer as Costa is going to China after the bust up with Conte.
What a load of ballony! As you say Ed025 he did not sign the contract last December. Shows how much the papers make up.
