No way that is going to happen. Mourinho never trusted him at Inter, why would he sign up him now for Chelsea? Not much has changed with Balotelli.
What Mourinho should have done is have signed Falcao or Tevez over the Summer.

Wolfie is right and wrong . Mourinho likes disciplined players and Balotelli is not one of them . And who knows when he will mature ... We did try to sign Falcao but price was unreasonable . Monaco paid close to 150 Million euro with all sorts of fees and wages .
Tevez is just like Balotelli .
Lol I think Ac milan is hoping someone signs Balotelli lol
How about that big Belgian over at Everton. I heard he's a Chelsea fan and being Belgian will make it easier to play considering we have Hazard, De Bruyne, and soon Courtois. He's also a better striker than Torres, Eto'o, and Ba.
Oh, I forgot to mention the most epic thing about this young lad; he's already a Chelsea player.

I'd love to see Lukaku playing for Chelsea, but it could be a flop, for us and for him, and I don't think that he fits well with our current game style. Btw I'm pretty sure that De Bruyne will leave soon for Bundesliga, he already proved that he can be a great player if he's on the pitch and not on the bench.
^I don't think he's proved it at all. Every chance we gave him, he completely wastes it with a horrible performance. I'd also like to see De Bruyne just push for a move as well because it doesn't seem he'll fit in our team.
As for Lukaku, I also feel the same but we still can't guarantee that he wont fit with Mourinho's style(s). Let's wait until the end of next season to see whether Lukaku isn't our type of striker or not. I'll be heartbroken if he isn't though. He is literally the perfect EPL forward. Big, strong, tall, fast, skilled, and good with both feet.

I was talking about proving in Bundesliga, he had a great year with the Werder Bremen before he came back to Chelsea. But you're right he didn't proved anything at Chelsea, so I think he should move this winter.
Yeah, he was one of the best players in the Bundesliga last season, but I think Atletico Madrid would be his best option. I'm sure De Bruyne would light La Liga in glorious Belgian flames if he Atleti.
The one that thrash talks about Chelsea ? It is easier to play for a team like Everton against whom teams do not park bus . Lukaku still does not know how to cope when he is isolated by quality defenders . I personally never prefered Lukaku. The comparison between him and Drogba is rediculous , because Drogba had a flair , agile , great first touch and always unexpected tricks up in his sleeves, very strong mentally . Also he is finishing is far more superior to Lukaku even when Drogba was Lukaku's age. I can't list all the differences but Lukaku will not fit to Chelsea style and level . Daniel Sturridge could but board let him go for idiotic reasons...
^Are you kidding? Drogba only started really hitting his stride around the age of 24-26. Lukaku has already started hitting his stride last season at the age of 19. Why not give him a chance before we criticize him. And yes, even though he did have a little spat with Mourinho in the media and he should keep his mouth shut more often, it's a proven that he is a BIG Chelsea fan and doesn't hate Mourinho (check his most recent interview).
^
I totally agree with you V, I'd love to see him playing for chelsea, but on the other hand I like to see him getting more experiences with other clubs, he's only 20 and I really think that he could be a killer in the next 2-5 years.
I haven't seen the most recent interviews of Romelu, did you have some links for that ?
& HAPPY HOLIDAYS to the FOOTY ROOM community !
Here's the link: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12040/9087710/romelu-lukaku-insists-he-has-no-problems-with-chelsea-manager-jose-mourinho
As for his getting more experience(s):
I believe that he should have went on loan to West Brom and Everton because despite the amount of goals he scored for both teams, he's still far from the finished product. But it would be really annoying to have him go on another loan next year and spend 30+ million on another striker. This season is also really annoying considering Lukaku would have done much better than Torres, Eto'o, and Ba.
Also, happy holidays to you too :)
I think Chelsea need a player like Chicharito, Ruud v. Nistelrooy, Michael Owen, Inzaghi, Raul, or Batistuta because these players are all finishers in the sense that they operate much better when the attacking midfielders and wingers carry the ball forward. A player who likes to get at the end of a cross is of much better use to Chelsea than a player who wants to play the 1 v. 1 game like Torres.
@TheGame
Lol, Chicharito seems a bit out of place in your list of legendary strikers. But I get your point. Makes sense, but the problem is finding a striker like that. They can keep Lukaku, but I think that Falcao would've been a better option for them if they made their move quicker than Monaco. Or maybe even Jackson Martinez (I'm sure Golden can explain his playing style much better than me).
@Dynastian98, exactly lol it is very hard to find a true goal poacher in the modern game. Nowadays too much emphasis is placed on being able to use the ball at your feet. Sometimes you need players that operate solely on finding spaces and utilizing their off the ball movement to gain an advantage. To me a complete team has that, because it makes them that much harder to defend against.

I totally agree with Dynastian and TheGame and I could never have said it better. We just need a decent finisher *Rooney would do* But I don't see that happening. I missed Drogba. and also we need someone professional to take the CDM role. and That's all. It's frustrating to see your team having a lot of chances but only 1 or 2 goes in and usually our Midfielders or Defenders are the one that scores.. It's a shame that Eto'o, Torres & Ba are not enough and they don't look different to each others. They just can't fit in our squad. Eto'o should have scored a Hattrick against Swansea City..
We should have buy Gómez instead of Eto'o
Hey guys what about Peter Crouch?
Lewandowski or Marco Reus would do just fine . Dortmund will sell them anyway so why not get them . Also Schurle can play striker , we only gave him one chance , but he has all the qualities of striker .
^ Reus is not a striker. He functions best as a winger. And there are indeed a lot of players who have the "qualities" of a striker, but not the "mindset". Look at Ronaldo. PERFECT set of qualities to be a striker. But can he play as one? Nope. Not nearly as well as a winger. Because Ronaldo's mindset is not the same as Lewa's or Falcao's.
Anyways, I found an interesting fact. Not a single striker from Chelsea scored a single away goal for Chelsea in the Premier League in the year of 2013. Not even one.
I think the Italian star AC Milan striker will go back to the Premier League with Chelsea. I say this because Balotelli is great striker and keeps growing in Seria A, but will grow faster, and into a better player at Chelsea. Also I don't think he is happy with the form AC Milan is in now. Overall if he did move, I would agree with the transfer.
