Jase 43,479 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 OptaJoe @OptaJoe 3 - Romelu Lukaku is only the third player in Premier League history to score a hat-trick against Man Utd (+ Bentley & Kuyt). History. TQB, Keikoismad and Bolt from the Blue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,585 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 So who still thinks Romelu is not up for the task?Torres said he staying, so Romelu to rot in the bench again! Leave in on loan till Torres is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumps 284 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I think Jose is going to love Lukaku. Jose was a huge fan of Drogba, Lukaku is so similar and has proven this season he's got what it takes to make it in the premier league. I think jose would chose lukaku over Torres. Torres has hit form this last quarter of this season, and for that reason i think its Ba who will suffer on the bench.If we sign a big striker, then i see lukaku going out on loan again, but then what happens the season after that and the season after that? he will probably accept 1 more season out on loan, then he will be off if we arent going to give him some first team football and this is one player i really dont want to go.

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 So who still thinks Romelu is not up for the task?I dont think its whether he's good enough, i think it comes down to his playing time. Do we really want to bring him back and see him play 4th fiddle to Ba and Torres and the new ST we seem likely to buy? If we could dispatch Torres or Ba then i would entertain the though, but not if he's playing 4th choice.And before i get the Utd comparision, they could do that. Becaise all of their strikers had PL experience for years. I wouldnt advise us to carry lukaku on board as 4th choice as he's only 19, and the stuff he can learn about himself, his play style and the PL on loan for one more year is vital. I would hope after next season (given that he performs even better) Lukaku would be given that fair chance in our squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Las7 951 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Ruining purple nose's farewell - Jose is going to take one look at Lukaku and make him into his super sub to turn games. 17 goals and 4 assists in the EPL from 20 starts and 15 sub appearances. The only players who have scored more goals were unquestioned #1 at their respective clubs and had more than 30 starts(RvP; Michu; Suarez; Benteke; Bale).He should be here next season, specially if we buy a big name striker - having Lukaku as second choice will be miles better than either Torres or Ba.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I think Jose is one of the few managers who could work well with Romelu, given our current situation and the possibilty of torres staying. If we had Rafa next season i could see Lukaku rotting on the bench for a lot, but jose will definitely not be afraid to bench torres and demba and play the youngster if he feels like it. If we bring another striker in, and torres and demba are still here then one more season on loan for lukaku would be the way to go. But if we don't bring a striker in or we do but get rid of FT, then i think he can do well here and get lots of game time. After all he wasn't always starting for west brom this season.

Pizy 18,916 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Hopefully Jose has a "you must allow me to sell Torres" clause in his new contract.Only way I see us bringing Romelu back next season is if he's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_President 404 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 17 goals in 32 Premier League matches at the age of 20. Pretty impressive, eh?Yes, and even more impressively I believe 14 of those were sub appearances and sometimes he was deployed on the right wing of a 4-3-3. All in his first real season of English football, at the age of 19-20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badboy 1,526 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 He's going to be a superb player for this club because he's a true Chelsea player. He is exactly what will give players like Hazard and Mata the space to play around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Done well this season with West Brom.Hopefully we manage this one right and doesnt end up being a case of sent on loan after loan then never comes back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
