didierforever 7,349 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hey support who you like, I just pointed out that your turn was no different from the 'trend' you described.it is very different.i support chelsea. not mourinho. if i see someone not doing their best for the club, i will point it out. and this is not a "small thing"... putting favouritism over the club from the manager can NEVER EVER be seen as a "small thing".

I always use to quote his statement which he had given way back "To be a top manager, you need to keep evolving season after season" to every one ... I realized it some time back that Jose will never follow what he says ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Thor 2,712 Posted August 24, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted August 24, 2015 Some of you are too prideful in your comments. Lukaku is a very good player, and a very good striker, and only 22 years old. Over the last 10 matches in the PL, he has undoubtably been better than Costa. Some of you are straight up lying to yourselves, and refusing to give credit where it is due. Saying that though, 10 games is nothing. Costa is still serviceable up front every time he steps on the pitch, and is simply in a bad stretch. This guy was a 1 man wrecking crew both at Atleti and here for us in the first 3/4 of last season. Costa is world class, but watching Lukaku's progression and ability to work on flaws in his game, he will become a great striker. He has a tremendous blend of pace, size and strength, which is coming together with skill now as he matures. Costa is the better player, and that won't change for probably another 2 seasons, but saying that though, Mourinho needs to change up the system to actually reward our strikers. We're far too slow going forward, which was the opposite of the first half of last season. Muzchap, Mikiejer, Stats and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 He wasn't that bad against City, had a few bad touches, but also had some decent link up moves. There was a great attack in which he jumped to the sky and tried to send a through ball with his head that Kompany intercepted and started counter attack. Considering he is 22 he has done great at Everton anyway already. Still we made a great deal with him, 28m is a lovely amount of money, and he would take some time to break into our team.

DaddysHobby 60 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'm confident that he'll be one of those players that reaches 20 plus league goals in a season (maybe even this one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddysHobby 60 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 32 Premier League goals at the age of 21 isn't bad at all (he has scored 44 now) ... 29 (+ 4 in play-offs) in the Belgian league (would have been a lot more in a less defensive league). He definitely has goals in him ... so far this season: 2 goals (and 1 assist) in 3 matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnythefirst 1,076 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Balotelli, to some extent Rooney and on other hand Ronaldo prove this list pointless.Seriously, that doesn't make it pointless at all. It just shows you how much of a beast Lukaku already was at 16. Balotelli might be a complete fool, but he took Italy to the EC finals only 3 years ago. Don't get me started on Rooney. He might not have been in top form for the last 2 seasons but he's been one of the top strikers in the PL for the last decade. He scored 170 premier league goals and counting.

He scored 170 premier league goals and counting. that list won't predict if anyone will ever become a football great, but it does what is says it does (read the title): list football's early birds. So in that aspect it's not pointless. You can't deny Lukaku, Balotelli and Rooney were early birds. Rooney has indeed been more quiet the last two seasons but he used to be a football great. Man I still remember that one EA Fifa game, can't remember which one, and the opening movieclip had that Rooney goal for Everton that went into the top corner. Commentary in the clip was great as well. I usually skip the fifa clips so I can play a few seconds earlier but man that clip used to give me goosebumps. But yeah, back on topic, there's no denying Lukaku is an early bird and has already scored a big amount of goals in all leagues or in the premier league alone, for his age. But that doesn't say he will nor does it say he will not become a football great. EDIT: now I had to go back and look it up. Still a great intro clip (got goosebumps again haha) but apparently Wayne already played for United when he scored the goal I was talking about. I confused that goal with his "Remember the name"-goal, of which I also added a clip for those interested. ParNolio7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got 44 right now. He's 216 short of Shearer. He would need to have just over 21 goals a season for 10 years, until he's 32. That'd be an incredible record of consistency. I dount he does that.
