Romelu Lukaku

Boy, that was bad timing wasn't it. (Just to make it clear that statement above doesn't pertain to you )

Not really, I still stand behind my point. I know Lukaku can score goals, he's a natural born goal scorer, like I've said many times before he's not gone out on loan to prove he can score goals. He's gone out on loan to improve his general play and to do the right thing in moments such as the one where he really should've done better with the final ball in the counter.

Maybe Skipper .... I think Lukaku will never be a complete player. He will always be a pure bred goalscorer with quasi limited technical ability.

Should be doing it in a Chelsea kit - no one can convince me Eto'o/Torres/Ba are better than Lukaku at this stage

Whether he is better or not is irrelevant. In Mourinho's eyes, would Lukaku have even been first choice? Would he be having the same impact for us coming in and out of the team every week?

Fantastic loan move for him and US in the long term, not to mention taking points off teams around us in the process.

You're embarrassing really - what do you think he was doing at West Brom last season he was scoring goals coming in and a sub.

Do you even follow our loaned players or just make shit up as you go?

Just because Jose is our manager doesn't mean his decisions are always right - so far Lukaku is proving him wrong on the field

For me Eto'o is better although Lukaku is producing more goals atm.

His movement looks much better already. His presence alone puts fear into defenders

Lukaku will never be first choice for Chelsea. No matter how much he scores at everton, mou will say "it's not the same as for chelsea" and buy a 28y old experienced instead. No Way mou will take the risk of having a 22yold as first choice, face it.

I agree that he won't ever become amazing technically but there are certain refinements he can make, and for that to happen he needs to be playing regularly.

The thing is with me, I don't want Romelu to just be content with being a solid goal scorer, I want him to be the best he can be, because he certainly has the mentality for that.

He has the mentality alright. He will improve for sure.

He has amazing mental strength, presence, power and pace but he's still a donkey technically. He's like a more powerful version of Javier Hernandez.

I hope, you don´t think he learned that at Everton.

He's 80% of a game crap,poor technique and much much more to add to his flaws but.............,

He ALWAYS score and thats only thing that realy counts for a striker

In a few years from now nobody will remember his poorlink-up play or technique, but his goals are written down

Seriously, where the fuck is this coming from? Mourinho didn't have a problem trusting a 22-year-old Benzema to be his first choice striker at Real Madrid because he was good enough and the same happened with young Raphael Varane too when he took Pepe's place in the team despite the Portuguese being one of Jose's favorite players for a couple of seasons in a row. Sooner or later the same will happen with Lukaku too if he's patient enough.

Was against the loan initially but I've been proven wrong many times already. Last season Lukaku was at a small club playing hoof ball and he scored a lot of goals despite not getting a lot of minutes but now he's at a team playing a possession game and seems to be thriving when given the chance to play 90 minutes every game. He scores goals which take away points from our rivals and becomes a better player in the process so what's not to like? We seem to be doing okay with Torres and Eto'o at the moment so I don't see a problem with letting Lukaku mature for a year while playing 90 minutes week-in week-out. This is exactly what Romelu needs right now with the World Cup coming up and all.

Isn´t that what´s required from any striker ? Score goals, some pretty dribbling is left for those Brazilians.

I think we saw the best and the worst of Romelu today. The most important thing today, though, is that he helped his team take 2 points off Liverpool.

Well yeah, that was my point, you can dribble a whole team but if it doesnt end up in a goal whats the point?

double figures before new-year incoming

When Lukaku was born he drove his mom home from the hospital
