Just to compare him to Drogba like everyone loves, at that age Drogba was still running around barely being able to train with the first team at Le Mans. I agree he has been mostly useless for Chelsea so far and hasn't shown much of his potential, but we got to give him some time and not constantly compare his performances to Drogbas and judge him on a over inflated price that was stupid Chelsea managements fault more than anything. I know I'm probably alone about this on here, but I still believe in him turning into a good striker, but a loan would probably be the best for him right now, then Chelsea just needs to buy a new striker too.

No need to rush Torres if he wasn't quite ready, even if Lukaku was pretty bad.

Oh dear, Ferreira seems to age 3 years every year. Lets get that new right back already haha.

Have you ever been there? Not a place I would want to live for sure and when your wife even gets robbed and shit... Yeah...

Haha it's not more than a few weeks ago he said his future was with Napoli, same shit he and his agent did with Palermo. But I love the guy and hope he comes here anyway, the real question is : Who wouldn't want to get out of Naples?

"His first name was inspired by the Belgian comic strip Thorgal and he grew up in a family where football was dominant." It's just a family with awesome names I guess. Now buy Kylian Hazard!

Good goal by Piazon, wouldn't worry too much about the first half performance, it's pre season. Also Pastore is still class.

Can't wait to see more of all Chelseas new signings and also been quite some time since I have seen Sirigu and Pastore, miss those guys at Palermo. Are Chelsea even English anymore? Answer : Yes on both questions.

He doesn't at all. It's a position he has only just started being allowed to play a few times during friendlies for the Belgian national team, the amount of games he has had on the left wing by far outweights the times he has played CAM. The central role might be the one he likes best himself, but I feel pretty sure we will mostly see him on the wing here.

Might not have been his best game and I can see lots of valid arguments against signing Hulk, but average at best? Come on.

Caught the replay of the game and can't help but be really excited for the new season. So many exciting performances for such an early pre game match (yeah yeah, defensive problems that will no doubt be sorted). Also great support by the seattle fans, watched a couple of games at their stadium and they no doubt got the most impressive support in the MLS.

The same way I felt when they took him from Palermo. So lets go ahead and steal him from that asshole De Laurentiis!

I'm afraid that would be way too offensive, the central midfield would be way too easily overrun.

The big difference of course being that Oscar has played out wide on the right wing while Moutinho has as far as I know never played as a winger. Bolding words is fun.

No thank you. His shitty attitude and inability to perform consistently in big matches can fuck right off. Also he's kind of old and it would insane giving Milan the money they want and meet his wage demands.

Bull fucking shit. Someone didn't watch him pre napoli, that's for sure. He was one of the biggest reasons Palermo were battling for Champions League spots (and only missed out by one point).

Seriously, it has been used for years and years, lol

It's either fake or an old tweet. Nasri hasn't tweeted since 27 june. Edit : Eh, someone already said it.

"I personally have had a great season but my goal has been to win trophies" :D

and you replied to "Yeah, he's no doubt an upgrade from Bosingwa, despite him having a pretty big drop of form while Inter as a whole also went down the shitter.", he was never really the same after Bale humiliated him and Inter just went to shit around that time, including him. But again, I would like him here. Chelsea does desperately need a second right back.

Usually not at around the age of 28 and 29 though.

Yeah, he's no doubt an upgrade from Bosingwa, despite him having a pretty big drop of form while Inter as a whole also went down the shitter.

He didn't say that there was only one reason though, so you're just straw manning it here. There even was a period in the way between his "copenhagen will be fine" and "he will gets lots of playing time".

Yes lets completely ignore the quality of the teams and competitions and just say random dumb ass shit. His agent Christophe Henrotay even said Copenhagen would be great for Lukaku, but Chelsea won't allow it. The Danish league is pretty weak, around the same level as the Belgian, but he would also get lots of European experience in either CL or Europa League.

Sure. But Jacobs loves Lukaku so he would be secured constantly playing if he came here and possible play champions league football or at least Europe league, something he wouldn't in any premier league team really. But of course the home grown rule is a big deal. Just please lets not see him on the wing again, ffs that was frustrating to watch.
