Romelu Lukaku

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Mate, then he will get distributed the role of Demba Ba today. Do you think that will satisfy him if he had another year of 15+ PL goals?

I agree with most things that are said about Lukaku around here, and that he might not have been ready for Chelsea this season . But as long as Chelsea keeps buying world class strikers, there is no point for him to stay as technically he gets outclassed by all the names that are coming to your mind now. And we know what Mourinho wants to achieve with the attacking compartiment of his team.

The matter is quite complicated.I really don't know what will happen but its better to remain patient and optimistic.

Why is he at Everton?

Because you sent him on loan, José. I don't understand what he's trying to say here. The decision to loan someone out lies with the manager.

If he had plans for Lukaku this loan deal would have never happened, even if he asked for a loan himself.

Obviously he did something wrong and pissed off Mourinho

Apparently we've got to wait for him to tell us, because Jose doesn't seem willing to. God knows what the fuck Jose is playing at because it seems remarkably petty, essentially calling out a player for NOT saying something to the media when the ultimate decision should rest with him.

Jose made the wrong decision and doesn't like being reminded of it. Lukaku going out on loan was not up to the player - all Jose had to do was tell Lukaku that he was saying and loan out Ba instead. Slating Lukaku in public looks pathetic.

I know he asked for it. He could've said no and tell him he'll have enough games for Chelsea this season. Instead we buy an old guy and fail to sell an average player in Ba.

It's not like Romelu is criticizing José in the press? I can't help but feel he's a bit bitter, because he realised he's made a mistake in loaning out his best striker.

Ow well, the season is still long. Storm in a glass of water, I believe. Time will even out these hiccups.

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

That's quite a childish remark from José. Out of nowhere really.

Maybe he talks to much yes, but who should know more about when to speak and when to shut up? A 20 year old boy or a 50 year old manager?

I don't know why a manager would publicly chastise his players after an annoying question from a journalist.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I told you guys he asked for the move

That being said, I think everyone's reading into Mou's comments a bit too much. Seems he was just trying to avoid being baited by the presser..

[Jack Uzzi 54]

How strange to put Lukaku in public on the spot like that.

If you think he should talk less to the media ... give him a call and tell him so.

If you are not happy with what he said in the media ... just say that in public, nothing else, and give him a call making that clear.

Hitting out to your own 20 year old player on loan, hard to understand.

Kinda understand Mourinho here. Lukaku might not have said anything bad to the press but the fact that he's talking about his loan situation is constantly putting the spotlight on his loan deal and giving the press ammunition to complain about it to Mourinho.

I think Mourinho was clear. Lukaku needs to keep his mouth shut. Finish the loan deal which he asked for himself.

[Jype 6,398]

As usual, people are making this a way bigger deal than it really is.

I see Mourinho's comments as nothing more than a friendly reminder to Lukaku that he should think twice about what he says to the media. In the past, even before Jose's arrival and the Everton loan, Lukaku has occasionally been a bit immature and naive with the way he has spoken to the media, making a lot of fans and maybe even some people in the club's boardroom question his attitude so now Mourinho has given him a clear message that he needs to cut the bullshit and grow up if he wants to return to Chelsea one day. If Lukaku is a top professional like I've always considered him to be he will not get butthurt over Mourinho's comments and instead tries to learn something from this. If it works and Lukaku learns his lesson, Mourinho has done the right thing here but if it doesn't and Lukaku starts to resent Mourinho so easily then he really is still an immature kid who maybe isn't ready to lead the line for us after all, which is something Mourinho will be happy to know when making his plans for next season.

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Just hope come next season he isnt gone for good and then ends up down the line at the likes of Man U,Arsenal etc and we're left regretting.Still daft comments all round

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Obviousley you are clueless if you think a player lukaku is loaned out because "he did something wrong and pissed off Mourinho".

I suggest you, and everyone here who is paranoid (that means people who read a twitch status made by someone named Agent34324234 and trust it with their life) should just get real.

According to Lukaku, the club hasn't been in contact for a couple of months.

Last season he made a point of saying that the club would talk to him about what they wanted him to work on. If Mourinho wants to give him a friendly reminder about something, why doesn't he talk to the lad?

This all seems remarkably poorly handled.

I'm at a loss about this whole thing, what exactly is the problem here? I can't see one. It's so naive to think that they only communicate via the media.
