Sidzeret 2,257 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 quite simple we should bring in a world class striker and hopefully we manage to keep eto'o as a second choice after all he's now our first forward and it's not that he's total rubbish for us so far as torres has been.Lukaku might play champions league next year if we loan him out to everton again, let that team take the so called risk and test him on a top european level. In the long run i can see this becoming a great investment, and my point stays the same, let the kid grow somewhere without the pressure of "we MUST end in the top 3" and we as fans might or might not love him in a few years. Fair enough. But I won't be asking Eto'o to stay when we could have Lukaku( Eto'o as a 3rd choice is perfect) I really don't think we should be making the same mistake we did this summer, by loaning him out.What if the summer signing doesn't click all of a sudden and we are stuck with 33yo Eto'o? Lukaku is a strong, PL proven prodigy. He definitely has a place at Chelsea and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a whole lot of games next season if he stays even after we bring in our summer striker. Imagine Costa-Lukaku-Eto'o, in that order. That is kick-ass. seanptmiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba 10 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'm a huge Lukaku fan, ever since he came on the pitch in the belgian play-off final against Standard Liege aged 16 y and a few days. It was a terrible game, Anderlecht were nowhere and up comes this monster kid. His first action was a driblle in the corner past two defenders and a great ball in. I was sold immediately.So, I might be a bit subjective here, although I can acknowledge he is sometimes still raw. He's 20!!I don't know whether Lukaku will make it at Chelsea. No one knows, but the prospect is there, just as it was when Torres joined Chelsea. What I do know, is that he has delivered for every club he's played for until now (except Chelsea). Made Anderlecht champion's twice, youngest top scorer in the belgian Eerste Klasse, third youngest player to score in the CL (youngest was Nii Lamptey from Anderlecht) and youngest to score twice in one CL game, led WBA to their highest position in the EPL (look where they are now), qualified Belgium for their first WC in 12 years with two goals in Croatia, and is likely to give Everton their first CL ticket in 10 years. And yet, he's still only 20!!Would he have made Chelsea champions this year if he had been given a proper chance? Probably not all by his own as he has done for other clubs in the past, but I'm sure Chelsea would be champions with 15+ Lukaku goals. Now, I'm not sure Chelsea will be champions...

different level 1,056 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I can't see him staying next season especially if Eto'o extends his contract. Provided we buy a big money striker to lead the line, Lukaku will start the season as a third choice behind Sammy in the pecking order and he'll be requesting to be send on loan again.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Just realized he scored more goals than Aguero in PL since summer 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Just realized he scored more goals than Aguero in PL since summer 2012....Because Aguero's been injured for most of it. 47 apps, 27 goals for Sergio. Only 3 behind Romelu has 30 in 60, 13 more appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eligius 121 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Costa, Lukaku and Eto'o/Torres, would equal to Man city, Livepool and United' strike force. Lukaku will get games, i just hope he doesn't demand to be our number 1 striker.Obviously he's not the finished article yet, on the ball he could be a bit better, but the fact is he scores goals. Costa and Lukaku would be devastating. If we do sell him to fund the Costa singing, what happens if Costa gets injured? we'll be left with Eto'o or Torres... Really? Costa, lukaku, eto equals Aguero/Dzeko/Jovetic/Negredo and Chicarito/rooney/RVP??Some people on this board think's all of his goals he scored for both West brom and Everton would translate to goals for Chelsea..... Sorry, that's not how it works. Especially, when the offense doesn't revolve around you...Eto a better striker than Lukaku, why would he play as the third striker? If eto is still here next season, and we sign costa or someone else, lukaku will be 3rd striker again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray 9,441 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Its all up to Lukaku. He still is 20 years old (at least thats his official age).Dude, he is born in Antwerp, Belgium, not Timboktoe. What a daft remark about his age. Those things are very, very official here in Belgium. Ainsley Harriott, Mong630 and The Skipper 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 My worry is that by signing Costa [insert other big name striker] is that.. when they lose form, they make the team anyway! (until they do or don't regain form) due to the fee paid and the fact you can't have a 200k a week player on the bench. So even IF Lukaku was competing with 'said striker' he still wouldn't have a chance.I thought such things did not influence on Jose decision?

Who would of said last season that Sturridge will outscore all of the strikers above, does it mean he's better? no, but he gets goals. Lukaku scores goals wherever he goes, why wouldn't he get goals here? He's young, hungry and confident. Eto'o in his prime was better than Lukaku obviously, but 100 percent not now.

Popular Post! bababoom 4,478 Posted April 8, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted April 8, 2014 Because he played for WB and Everton. Playing for Chelsea is a different thing.Bullshit. Lukaku has played in big games this season and has shown he's ready to be at least our second striker. Sturridge was only scoring goals for Bolton, was he ready for Chelsea? Yes, but we didn't give him the chance... now look at him. Suarez was only scoring goals at Ajax, the dutch league is pretty poor, was he ready for the Liverpool? Of course. Rooney was at Everton 12 years ago, was he ready for United? seanptmiller, yuvala, Mufassir08 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will sign Costa (Or another world class striker) who will fit into Moruinho's system, but you always need a plan B, Lukaku offers something different.

Eto'o has been good in the big matches at home this season, but lets not pretend he's been amazing, we're only depending on him because we have no one else.

Fastrobbie 26 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 If we wouldn't have a Lukaku, we would be cyring to get him! Now that we have him, we are discussing whether we should drop him ...Makes no sense at all to me?The kid is doing amazingly good for his 20 years old. He is far from a finished product, but he has a lot of potential. How many 20 year old strikers like him are running around? Can you image the sort of beast he might be in 5-6 years if he would be able to keep improving his skills and goal ratio? Is he ready to lead to Chelsea line next year? In my opinion, no ...Nevertheless he is Chelsea property and we should be more than proud that he is!If Mourinho would decide to sell him to raise more transfer funds, then so be it.
