Yes! Still didnt explain what MOTM has anything to do with and what European Scouts you are talking about...

This is what bothers me, have I said you are the specific person I was talking to? If you are not one who got hurt, then just dont quote me! Again, what does MOTM has to do with anything? By the way, the difference between you and I is that I am not trying to convince anyone, I just posted one single opinion (that he is not tecnically gifted enough for us to pay 18million and that he will never be a top5 striker) and tried to back it up. I can do a complete article on why he isnt talented enough (no I havent watched as half as many games as you did, but talent is spontaneous, a few minutes is enough): passing, dribling, first touch, positioning, awareness, ball control, defensive work, etc. It makes me wonder why I a see so many Belgians only posting on their own player`s thread (not targeted at you)...

I say, lets buy him on a 1.5 year contract, he will happily accept a pay-cut to actually play football. We can wait until the summer to get rid of Torres and buy Falcao/Cavani! Then, when his contract ends, we see if Lulaku and Piazon can be our backup options, if not, we buy someone like Bony or Whoever is also making an impact.

I would love Villa, he would be a very good option for 1.5 year! It makes us not desperate for a striker...

Just like a cat! Alright, alright, nevermind...DON`T STEAL HIM!

No, but I havent seen you in a while and I was wondering if anything had happened!

AAAH, so you are alive afterall!

LOL I does not count or make me feel any better. My catholic family thinks it means more than presents, so they dont exchange presents during christmas. I love it, never complained or felt jealous of my firends though. We all get together in a happy mood, there is no fights (hard when you realise we are about 40 people) and we have an amazing gorgeous dinner. Awesome time to talk to everyone, celebrate with champagne and thank for the life we have (which I must admit, aint bad)! Also, I couldnt ask for a better gift from my parents, my trip to Munich...

Am I the only one who does not get christmas presents?

Yes, I also think most of his flaws come from the lack of natural skills and they are almost impossible to be taught.

Typical, cant disagree or be sarcastic with anyone this days that they just go "internet warrior" mode... Like I said, I wont argue with Belgians that just had their ego hurt and arent sensible to have a civilized conversation! I am entitled of my opinion and will continue to expose it, respectfully. I have way more arguments on my side than yours, so all we can do is wait. At least I am not as one sided as you are, I still give the guy credid where he deserves (physically, balls, goalscorer gene, etc). Besides, I wasnt even refering to you. This post of yours just tells me you did have your pride hurt and cant be civilized. I cant counter argument someone who judges me by a simple title and act like a kid, going over some absurd future teller bullshit. Being MOTM is an immense honour, but I will still be me, I wont be influenced by my status nor I think I am beter because of it. None of my actions show it and I am in no way being rude or giving a bad example to the forum. Also, just because I dont see a natural talent inside Lukaku, it doesnt mean I am trying to be a clairvoyant. What did I do for you to get agreesive like that? Was it because I said how I honestly feel about Romelu?

I wont argue with some Belgians that just got their egos hurt and arent sensible enough to have a civilized discussion (the ones who I am talking to know who they are). Comeback 5 years from now and be man enough to appologise if I am right, I will do the same... Merry Christmas!

That phone number at the bottom just makes things worse!

It is not about when they achieve their potential, it is about how far can they go (no matter if they will ever achieve that or when they will)... Lukaku does not have the potential to be world class. It is like saying just becaue a good player is 19 years old means he will become a top10 players if he has discipline, work hard and stay in the right path. The talent that some lucky people are born with is what puts them in another level. Of course they also need to do have commitment, but they have a big potential. Lukaku just doesnt have an absolutely huge one!

Sneijder to Manure? Seems really possible... Nice, how good is his movement, shooting and header? 1-10

Still not very good for some *cough* @Henrique *cough*...

Yes! However, I will stick with my opinion of him only being a second option of a top club or the first of a medium one...

Yes, but many of you are mistaking me. I was comparing Lukaku with the very best and got to my conclusion that he does not have the necessery technique to be Osgood 2.0 or Drogba 2.0. I never said he is scrub or wont score many goals for Chelsea...

I agree, you kind of made my point too... I never said he is shit and we should realse him for free, I just think he doesnt have enough ability to lead our team. I have always said he will become a very good second option!

How good is Bony (never seen him play)? I know he is making quite an impact at Vitesse...

Yes, they need to be beaten, but it does not take a brilliant manager to do so. I am not taking away the fact he is improving our team, making them fight for 90min and he is a much better coach than RDM (at least he knows what he is doing and knows how to give clear orders). However, you cant deny he has the biggest fault for what happened in Corinthians game. He did nothing when everyone saw we lost midfield in the second half, he was gorssly outclassed by Tite, not starting with a DM against a physical team is asking for trouble. Also, the way he couldnt react when West Ham entered the second half with full desire is at least questionable. To tell me Rafa is doing a good job, I can agree. But to say he is a top2 manager and he is outstanding for our future because of some decent results are laughable. Benitez has still a lot to prove and people are wrongly jumping of his bandwagon just because we trashed pub teams...

Absolut >>>>>>>>>>>> Smirnorff Absolut + Red Bull =

It doesnt work that way.. It is about recognising the talent (and dont tell me talent is secondary, this is insane), not comparing stats. Aguero and RVP were already making huge impacts and werent atracting so many doubts, Falcao was already being treated like diamond in River Plate (I can show interviews of that time) and Drogba got into Marseille soon after that. The class and ability of any player is very easy to see. You see the guy playing for 5min and you already know if he is good or not. There are some things that are impossible to teach (shot, drible, passing vision, first touch, ball control, etc), the footballer must be born with it. Lukaku is a decent prospect, but he wasnt born with a brilliant raw talent. There is nothing you can do about it...

No, I am saying that if we want him to lead our team in the future, he needs to be as talent as those guys when they had 19 years old... I recognise it did sound like what you understood, MY BAD! You dont understand that talent is something you are born with and that no matter how many experience, learning time and playing time, you cant teach someone to be gifted? Natural talent is something that can be seen with 1-2 looks at the guy... What I am saying is that he will improve until one point, he will be as good as a nice second option, but will never achieve such high level a senior striker at a top club has to have.

I dont see how some can rate Rafa Benitez`s little time time with Chelsea as great! He had 5 great victories against average to bad teams (se did RDM), one decent draw against ManCity and 3 horrible games (the most important ones) against Fulham, West Ham and Corinthians. If that translate into a great job, Jose Mourinho`s spell at Real Madrid is a fucking exceptional one... I know it isnt just results and trophies (but they are indeed the ultimate rating tool) and Rafa has improved some players (Torres, Hazard and Luiz), has given a decent look to our defense and we are much more mobile and organised. It finally seems players know their role and what they have to do on the pitch. However, to say that FAT SPANISH WAITER is doing an excellent job at Chelsea is a bit of a joke.
