If he was in Mourinho's plans, Lukaku's request was gonna be declined. As it was accepted and he got his loan move, only proves that he was not in Mourinho's plans and he made the right choice. And for Lukaku, he's not consistent enough. Every time you play a bad game in Chelsea, you are sitting on the bench for a consecutive 5 games, that's not what a young player like him needs, not now, and not next season.
