🇧🇪 Romelu Lukaku

[Reddish-Blue 2,505]

No, it seemed like classic Chelsea to loan out a hungry kid who has earned a chance and instead go with a 32 year old shirt-seller.

Exactly..he's a hungry kid looking to make an impact, he wants to score goals...

Out of our current strikers, none of them look like they want to prove a point....

Eto'o has already achieved everything with Barca and Inter...Torres' best form is long gone and Ba just isn't good enough to lead the line for a club like Chelsea

I just hope we can start next season with Lukaku and (insert name of new striker) as our main options upfront.

[Las7 951]

Had we not loaned Lukaku and Ba/Etoo actually delivered as they were supposed to, this season we would have an unhappy kid on the bench angry because he neither gets playing time, nor was he given the loan he asked for.

I'm fucking sure everyone was expecting Eto'o to bang 30 goals this season.

And Ba was already a fan favorite

Please keep this kind of thinking to yourself no one expected anything from Eto'o/Ba/Torres it's why we were fucking surprised Lukaku was allowed to go on loan. It's why we were suprised Torres who scored 1 goals in the EPL second half of last season was ahead of Luakaku in the pecking order.

It takes a fucking genius to figure out Eto'o is a stop gap and Ba hasn't done much since joining while Torres is the biggest flop in the EPL.

if he would got the service he would definitly had scored yesterday

but the service from midfield to striker was poor

their midfield was selfish

Despite Barkley's talents he isn't really a playmaker yet. Holds onto the ball far too long at times and lacks vision.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Look, we clearly fucked this up but as least he's still our player unlike Morrison, Pogba, Rossi, Pique etc

Even if we decide to sell him we'll get a hefty fee. In this current market the best young striker in football would easily court £30m+

Lukaku was in for a sure goal too but Mirallas took the shot selfishly.

I really hate Mirallas. He just comes off like a douche

Why would Chelsea buy an unproven striker from La Liga if Lukaku is ready to play for Chelsea soon ?

Perhaps because he likes to run his mouth and it's clear from past interviews that Mourinho is not liking that.

I also hope it doesn't happen, but it wouldn't surprise me tbh. Nor would it surprise me if it was Mata in exchange for Diego Costa.

I have no idea what makes you think Lukaku likes to " run his mouth " as you eloquently put it here.

The only one I know who is the biggest mouth is Jose, by far, nobody even come close to him.

It really is so disappointing because he'd fit so well in to our team at the minute. He is exactly what we need!

Lukaku in SportMagazine on Mourinho

"In a few interviews they've twisted my words. The truth is that he gave me permission to go."

"He allowed me to move to Everton as he did understand my reasons to go on loan. I appreciate that a lot."

"I will return to Chelsea as one of the best strikers in the Premier League."

[Weckerz 3,781]

At least he's ambitious

[Hamilton 2,120]

Well he's allready Chelsea's best striker, so it's normal to aim a little higher then that

"I've had Jose Mourinho as a coach for two months," he added. "Something special.

"He's building the foundations of an unbeatable machine again. We didn't have problems."

Lukaku found further respect for the Portuguese tactician after Mourinho received his request for Premier League football with understanding.

He went on to say: "He wanted me to stay and asked me why I wanted to leave.

"In some interviews my words were twisted, but the truth is that he accepted to let me leave.

"He did understand what I wanted. That's what I really appreciate in him."

"Am I getting ready for Chelsea next season?," he asked rhetorically. "Yes, why else would I have signed a contract for five years?

"I will return to Chelsea as one of the best strikers in the Premier League."

"I still want to become one of the best strikers in the world," he expressed. "I hope that you can put me in line with [Edinson] Cavani, [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic, [Robin] Van Persie, [Luis] Suarez and [Robert] Lewandowski in two years' time.

"I analyse them all. I look at their movements. The presence of Ibrahimovic, the left foot of Van Persie, the right foot of Cavani, the movement of Lewandowski and the dribbles of Suarez.

"He is that unpredictable. In three years of the Premier League I haven't seen anyone doing what he did."

He just keeps amazing me.. the effort he puts into being a better player, really really impressive.

Look like a decent striker that is suitable for teams just like Everton atm, no where near Chelsea quality. Really need to sort this out if he wants to make it here, by his age Aguero was scoring 25-30 goals per season for Madrid, Torres has been captained of his team, Rooney blasting it in for MU weekly. If he wants to be our no1 and eventually one of the best in the world, then now is the time to step up. Atm he just looks sulky without the ball.

Just so you know. In his first five years at Man Utd, Rooney made less PL goals (per season of course) than Lukaku in his year at West Brom. ;-)

[Blue Warrior 109]

The pressure of playing for Everton and West Brom does not compare to playing for Chelsea. I want to see a more honest attitude from the man.

Bullshit! Aguero at 20/21 had 17 league goals and in the following season had 12 league goals. Lukaku has got 8 PL from 13 league starts already and is way on course to get up to the 20 mark. Jesus Christ, he goes 5 games without scoring and all of a sudden he is not our quality. RVP had his dry spells last season and this season too but quality will always eventually show. When you are 20, playing every week because you are much better than the other strikers there it is natural for him to slack of a little. But get your facts right please because if you compare what Aguero done to Lukaku at the age of 19, while Lukaku was at WBA, you cannot compare the two. Lukaku got 17 league goals right last season at a much inferior team.

Find me proof to show Aguero done more than Lukaku at around the same age. And also many players in there 20's, like Drogba had not even been on the big stage and you are hear judging Lukaku at 20. Give him a break! He has been nothing short of excellent this season and is a big reason why they are up there with the likes of City, us, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Can't even believe you had one person like your post, let alone bloody 3! Sorry your post is absolute rubbish and untrue.

He is showing signs every season that he is going to be a world class striker and he is getting better and better!

[Blue Warrior 109]

Lukaku needs to be more clinical and work on his conditioning. Mourinho alluded to it in interviews. If he maintains the work ethic he will be scoring goals for Chelsea for along time.
