Stats 7,142 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Anyone who treats my club with a complete lack of respect is a prick. Whether its our player or someone elses. He might be right, but who the fuck is he to comment? He has done nothing for our club, if anything we made his career. By sending him on loan to other clubs? Basically we just bought him and dumped him on loan to other clubs. We hardly had a say in developing him. didierforever and Atholy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! The only place to be 11,313 Posted July 13, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted July 13, 2014 Last season he was one of four strikers who had about equal chance of starting for us. He was getting chances, and I think he would've received more as the season went on. This season he's definitely behind Costa. He's nailed on to start for us and the best Lukaku could hope for is second striker. He'll have to outperform an established, top striker.And the funny thing is it's his fault. He requested a move when he had every chance to play himself in, a chance that EVERY other youngster at this club would kill for. Last season was a once in a lifetime opportunity for him, and he threw it away. That's why so many of the supporters are bored of him, and his comments simply compound it. bababoom, Barbara, The Skipper and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 We have to sign another striker if he's leaving. Get Bentekkers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfall 893 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Asked for a loan because he didn't want to compete with the shit we had at the striker position. What more needs to be said? Of course he wanted to be the undisputed #1. He said "Woah, what's going on here" when we signed Samuel Fucking Eto'o. Think about that for a second. bababoom and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would never have gone to West Brom or Everton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I really hope he stays if Drogba is returning like the rumours suggest. He could be a world beater under Drogs' guidance. The problem with the lad is that he thinks he is already world-class when he certainly isn't. I hope the poor showing at the world-cup will bring some humility to the kid.

Popular Post! The only place to be 11,313 Posted July 14, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) What a fantastic young man and what a great attitude. Fought for his spot at both club and national level, didn't moan or throw a strop when he wasn't first choice and brought the goods when he got his chance. In fact he seems to work harder when he has these obstacles put in front of him and will now be a key part of our squad going forward. Always says the right things too and got the rewards he deserved.An absolutely fantastic young lad and a great role model.EDIT - oops, should be in the Schurrle thread.

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I like Lukaku, think he may even have a role to play at Chelsea but man does he ever make it hard for himself. Clearly his body has matured 10x as quickly as his mind. He thinks he's the finished article when most would think hasn't even formulated a thesis. Now he says he wants to play for a team in the champions league? Like who?Prem - Chelsea, Liverpool, Arse?La Liga - Atleti, Barca, Real, Bilbao?Serie A - Juventus, Roma, Napoli?Bundesliga - Bayern, Dortmund, Schalke, Bayer?Ligue 1 - PSG, Monaco, Lille?Eredivisie- Ajax, Feyenoord?Only a few teams here would have a need and they likely can't afford him. He needs to shut the fuck up and get on the practice pitch to work on his game. Too much talk from a guy who hasn't done much. oldportblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bababoom 4,478 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I said before but for someone with his physique he should be more than a bloody goalscorer or 'finisher', he has the pace and strength to bully defenders, but shame about the Control, technique, hold up play and dribbling. Everton fans last year complained about the fact that 9 times out of 10 he'll ruin their attack by either misplacing a pass, getting tackled or losing out on a 50/50 header.The complete 'modern day' strikers were already great with the ball at their feet from a early age, it was more about being consistent and getting stronger to compete with men, Aguero, Suarez, Benzema, Ronaldo, Tevez etc. Lukaku is the opposite, he already had the strength and pace but just doesn't have the technical ability.. it's easy to gain lean muscle, it's much harder to improve football wise.

oldportblue 547 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Im actually not defending anyone really, LOL. But some things are put in the guys mouth a bit overzealously in my opinion on this forum. There is simply no denying that fact at all.nor can you deny that there have been enough direct quotes from lukaku himself for people not to defend him over some of these statements... people here are, for the most part, smart enough to recognize media spin when they see it. This isn't what this lukaku situation is about, there have been plenty of long quotes from him, not out of context, for us fans to know where he stands on striker competition, wanting to being loaned out/leave, whoring himself out to other clubs etc...I wouldn't say he's scared but he surely shouldn't have the unnecessary pressure of dealing with 2 subpar strikers after outperforming them. Lukaku will get more playing time if he's competing with 2 strikers rather than 3. The quality of his competition does not matter.shouldn't have lol? he didn't outperform them at chelsea, he chose to leave for fear of lack of playing time... andthis is chelsea fc we're talking about! there are ALWAYS going to be other strikers at the club... either he deals with it and fights for his place or he GTFO, there is no middle ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 15, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted July 15, 2014 I think a lot of what is being reported in the media is being exaggerated but I can't help think that it is his fault. He turned himself into someone who is expected by Chelsea fans to keep saying the wrong things. You see something bad being reported in the media about him and you don't think "I don't believe this, let me check for a more reliable source or the exact quotes". Instead you think "Oh no, he's at it again."He's lost the support of most of the Chelsea fans and he has no one but himself to blame for that. petr.breu, The only place to be, Barbara and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
