The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Loaning him out was the dumbest decision. Some might say they he'll come back a better player, but we needed him this season. He'd be getting starts in this team. zolayes and DDA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 We're the laughing stock of the Premier League, Mourinho complaining about the lack of strike force whilst we have this guy smashing them away for Everton who'll probably be above us in the league come Christmas.

Couldn't make it up.Lukaku played a few games for Chelsea and didn't do well. The penalty he missed against Bayern crushed his morale and he asked the manager to be loaned again because he didn't feel ready for the job. The manager looked at the squad and saw Torres, Ba and Etoo coming in. I'm sure you Einsteins all foresaw Ba and Etoo would be a flop and knew it would be a mistake to loan Lukaku, right?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.Yes, it was a mistake to loan Lukaku. But at the time it actually seemed quite reasonable. daBlackMamba7, Kish9, kellzfresh and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the time it actually seemed quite reasonable.I think if the supposed loan offer from West Ham came in for Ba, and that our demands for his loan wasn't so high, Lukaku would be second choice striker and/or would have been able to break into the team. I think that because Romelu wanted to go out in loan forced Jose to stop the hand if West Ham was the only club wanting to loan, or not wanting to strengthen a rival with Arsenal wanting to take Ba.Either way, there was some communication between Lukaku and Jose which resulted in his loan move due to what happened at the SuperCup - either, like said, Lukaku's morale was shattered or he didn't think his role would be as what he hoped came the start of the season due to the arrival of Etto'o, imo he was the second choice before the SC after Torres as Ba is third now.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 How did he do today?Was pretty anonymous tbh. Ashley Williams and Chico had him in their pockets. Didn't threaten at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Today, I read Lukaku could be a part of a deal with Atletico for Costa. I know, rumors are flying high, but I hope it isn´t true.Why would Chelsea buy an unproven striker from La Liga if Lukaku is ready to play for Chelsea soon ?This Lukaku must be laughing wholeheartedly, these days. He pops goals at Everton, meanwhile the 3 duds are struggling at Chelsea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 23, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted December 23, 2013 Lukaku played a few games for Chelsea and didn't do well.He got 15 minutes against Hull and 25 against Villa. He didn't get to start a game despite having a good pre-season and coming off of a 17 goal season.The penalty he missed against Bayern crushed his morale and he asked the manager to be loaned again because he didn't feel ready for the job. Really? Two things. One, how do you know that? It's a nice narrative but is it true?Two, surely the manager had the final say and should've kept him around because he's much better than our other strikers.I'm sure you Einsteins all foresaw Ba and Etoo would be a flop and knew it would be a mistake to loan Lukaku, right?I didn't think Ba would be so flimsy as he has been, but I had real reservations about us signing a 32 year old from the Russian leagues who had essentially taken semi-retirement. None of us here is paid a few million quid a year to get these types of decisions right.Yes, it was a mistake to loan Lukaku. But at the time it actually seemed quite reasonable.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.

bushman 2,043 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Sometimes, I wonder whether folks in here are watching the same Lukaku playing football as the one we are talking about here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
