Completely agree but that starting striker thingy is a bit too early imo , first see how things goes with him and our midfield .

I agree on this. It will be crucial. Lukaku seems to me quite the confidence player. Superb when it is up, irritated and technically under par when it is down. His interview in Humo, a respected belgian magazine, illustrated this. He himself admitted he had these issues in Chelsea AND in the belgian NT (apparently Kompany and Wilmots - accompagnied by the rest of the locker room - got on his case for sulking/venting when not playing. He admitted this in the article)

That said, he is 19, impatient and bloody ambitious. So building his confidence and having him getting enough playtime might prove to be crucial .... If we do it right: bingo! If we do it the wrong way: ouch ;-)

might be a risk but with Torres we know what we are getting ,,,

Try to see things without Torres for a second . I know Lukaku has great potential and all but he's not ready to play everygame , especially the important ones . If we seriously need to get going and act like the Champions League Winners ! Well , Why don't we just buy Suarez ? I know he's a cunt but he'll bang goals without ay help of the midfield . He's one man army and he's the kinda player what we desperately need now.

And WE HAVE LOTS OF MONEY . HEIL ROMAN!!!

But a risk worth taking imo.

LULZ.

AVB did use him, gave him his debut very early on in his Chelsea career, came off the bench against Arsenal and United and started against Fulham and Liverpool in the Carling Cup. I also like RDM and think he shouldn't have been sacked of course, but under RDM Lukaku was not a part of any matchday squad, even in the FA Cup for games like Leicester, until the last game of the season when everything was set in stone for the league.

did I not see Lukaku start in the match in Anfield after the FA Cup or was that my imagination?

He will be better than Cavani in 2 seasons...

Haha, I love your optimism. People need to get down to earth and not get too excited. I know it's hard not to, because he's been really good at West Brom and improved vastly and rapidly this season.

But he's still raw as well. In 3-4 years time you will probably be able to see weither he'll reach the pinnacle of football or be just a decent striker.

He's only 19, but with a better physique than most 28 year olds. Most 19 year old strikers aren't as effective because their bodies aren't fully developed yet.

He has the right attitude though. With proper guidance and training he SHOULD become great.

With regard to some mentioning AVB as having wanted him at Chelsea: I doubt that is the case, because as far as I can remember Chelsea was monitoring him already before AVB signed at the club. Whatever of course. Plenty of reasons to be happy he's in Chelsea's ranks.

Last week I saw a replay of a ManU vs Real game. And when I saw Van Nistelrooy play I could not but think that Lukaku's game play looks a lot like his . Very active up front. Going after long balls in the corner, not afraid of taking on players and sending in a cross even when that's not his best quality, always available for the team and an ever-present danger in the box. The kind of player a defense is never done with: he can score but is also of huge importance for the team as a whole. Anybody agreeing?

Next year he would not start many games for Chelsea.

If we continue with Hazard Oscar Mata behind the striker, we need a forward who is good technically and can make space with short runs, dummies with very good timing.

West Brom as we saw when we played against them sits very deep and Lukaku is quite good when he can run in spaces.

I could see us using him as a sub, where he could outrun the defenders and outpace them towards the goal.
