Tomo 21,751 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Who knows that Lukaku wouldn't have forced his way in? He got more minutes than Azpi in those first 4 games and he turned out to be one of the key players this season. The reality is, Mou didn't trust Ba, and quite evidently lost his patience with Torres by february, Romelu would have probably been sharing minutes with Eto'o for all off the 2nd half to the season. If he stayed and fought for his place, his superior quality over Ba and especially Nando would have shined through. Bir_CFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,765 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 only place to be used "to be" a good poster, but since Mourinho returned he waste his time with disjointed posts defending every controversial (clumsy) decision Mourinho makes.Lets put the facts right: *Second game of the season, against Aston Villa, Stamford Bridge. Torres was injured, but Ba was the one who started. I think everyone here were surprised to see Ba starting and not Lukaku. *Third game of the season, away game against United, Schurle starts as CF, Torres was used in the second half, and Lukaku was sitting on the bench the whole match, the same Lukaku that scored a hat-trick against the same United months earlier. After that, he decided to leave, and for me thats comprehensible, because it was clear for everyone that Lukaku wasn't Mourinho's first or even second choice (choosing Ba to start Villa game was an insult), and with Mourinho saying the team would buy another CF, his chances here were getting really small.Right now its easy for Mourinho to say it was Lukaku who decided to leave, but every ambitious player in the world in his situation would do the same.The first part of your post is inciting a reaction from a member, and if memory serves me right you have him on ignore or vice versa, so why bother with the direct pop at him? It's a one way ticket to derailing a thread which you are culpable of. You know he will come back with a response and it's not what we want.You are walking a fine line right now after what I spoke to you about the other day in another thread. The rest of your post is relevant to the thread, now carry on from there please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolayes 14,489 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Both should have probably handled the situation a bit better.Can't agree Lukaku is young and inexperienced ,, Jose should have known better and dealt with it much better ..Lukaku 5%to blame Jose 95% ,,, earlier I said 10% to 90% but on reflection that was hard on the boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukaku was never going to be our first choice striker and rightfully so he was twenty no need to put that kind of pressure on him. I still envision him as a guy that can be a super sub for Chelsea until he's ready to take the mantle. I would recall him and still only give him the odd start, SLOWLY integrate him into the first team. iseah100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Now, on one hand 18 year old kid gets picked to start for England ahead of Cole.Somehow, Lukaku at 20 cannot get a proper chance to play for Chelsea ahead of bums like Torres or BA? I am lost here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilmots 1 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I think the missed penalty against Bayern Munich made him go out on a loan deal.. I mean it was hard for him and people lost faith before the league begun. On the other hand, why oh why was KDB not given any chances? Maybe this loan was the best choice for Romelu...

It is a pity as when I had seen KDBI was struck by his crossing ability and his delivery of free kicks .. I hope he has a great future pity it wont be with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a UEFA super cup match.. Players like Roberto Baggio, Trezeguet, Shevchenko, Cristiano Ronaldo or Schweinsteiger missed penalties in way more important matches, it doesn't make them worse player or weak.

You missed my point. I said if that penalty was the reason he lost faith and asked to be loaned out then yes, he was weak at that moment. But he's still young and there is more than enough time to build that kind of character. Problem is: you can't built it playing for Everton (no disrespect), only by playing on the biggest stages for the strongest clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
