Mundaka 243 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yeh on that department he kinda looks like him, also helps with link-up play / defence when his side is having trouble on their own side (although i wouldnt like this at national team/Chelsea tho, should stay up front then so they have someone to hold the ball when they want to counter), and yeh he has been a trouble for most defences, liverpool(twice) sure will agree on that one .

Milan 17,957 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Romelu Lukaku scored his 13th goal of the season on Saturday as West Brom recorded an impressive 2-1 win against Capital One Cup winners Swansea at The Hawthorns.In doing so, the 19-year-old Belgian became the highest scoring teenager in the Premier League since Michael Owen for Liverpool in 1999.

Atholy 1,293 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 So here's a nice stat:Lukaku scored 13 goals in 13 games and a total of 1713 minutes.Now listen to the stats of our complete attacking force:Torres (7), Ba (2) & Moses (1) score a total of 10 goals (together!!) and this in a total of 3144 minutes. robdog and zolayes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Lets not get too carried away here. Demba Ba has a decen record overall this and last season, too. Romelu is blessed with an extraordinary athleticism, but there is now way he will be as good as Cavani or van Nistelrooy that soon, and that is okay, he is only 19 but still already has the ability to break any defense down on his day. But Cavani and van Nistelroy, prior to their athleticism score(d) most goals on courtesy of their amazing technique, from all kinds of positions, they can dribble, curl, shoot from distance and have an amazing first touch. When you look at the great strikers, they score great goals in big matches, cos u do not get many chances in these games it often takes sth extraordinary to score in there. Remember this dribbling+goal from van Nistelrooy from an angle of about 5° or his countless close chest controls and perfectly placed volley finishes? Seen these incredible 30m curler from Cavani or his nutmeg+faint to get through 3 defenders? Till we see Romelu do sth like this, lets stay on our toes aprreciate his development and wait with the comparisons. MAF and Peace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray 9,441 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 So what do we want? do we want a striker that has close chest controls and perfectly placed volleys while dribbling 3 opponents? I am not sure Lukaku could NOT do these things (see his goals), but what we have been lacking is a clinical finisher. He is the real deal when this is the issue, even at 19 in the EPL. He did it at Anderlecht being 16 and becoming the Jupiler League topscorer in 2010, he did it in europe scoring his first two goals against Ajax on the highest stage in december 2009 (Thats more then 3 years ago! He was sixteen then - he totalled 4 goals during that short Anderlecht campaign) and he did it with the NT scoring 8 goals so far. I personally loved seeing him rip Russia open! See below for the power house goal - his first and second for the NT ... and what a goal it is!! check that second goal :-) So .... GET THAT GUY BACK HERE AND PUT HI IN A BLUE SHIRT INSTEAD OF TORRES Booya! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: The only place to be, zolayes, Mufassir08 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English Freak 456 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Heskey was actually a decent young player to be fair to him.Yea, I'd say Heskey could be compared to Kalou....they were never the most gifted of footballers but they tried their best on the pitch and they scored the odd important goal for their respective clubs...

Mundaka 243 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I hope they plan on playing with him then... its gonna be great watching him in a chelsea shirt tho Also means torres is leaving i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 He doesn't know... All he has actually said is that he wouldn't think we would loan him because of how needle he had been doing. So we will see. I really want to see him in a Chelsea shirt but if we buy Falcao putting him on the bench for a season could make his progress go backwards as opposed forwards which another loan spell could do.
