DM roll on once again

DM are the worst paper out there.

Also come to think of it, didn't Costa play with Falcao in their final season together? I'm not going to pretend that I watched Atletico a lot so I don't know how well that partnership worked but the stats are:

2012-2013

Falcao - 41 goals in 34 games

Costa - 20 goals in 44

Yes, they played together, I mean they were in the same team, but it wasn't really a partnership you know, Falcao was the CF while Diego Costa was a winger.

Anyway, impressive stats playing as a winger while living in Falcao's shadow - 20 goals and 15 assists in 46 games.

While also playing for West Brom and Everton, hardly the type of sides where team will defend deep against unlike us, MU, City...etc. Also Benteke had 20 goals last season too, more than Aguero this season or the last and we all know who is better.

I am not sure how reliable this story is, but can somebody tell me why is Lukaku being offered?

Exactly. Most title winning sides I can think of used 2 strikers.

Yorke and cole

Henry and berkamp

Rooney and tevez

Drogba and anelka

Rooney and chicharito

Aguero and tevez

Vanpersie and rooney

Aguero and dzeko/negredo

2 strikers systems in the past 10 years win the league. Even suarez and sturridge almost won it.

Sometimes it doesn't matter how shit the rest of the team is, if there are 2 pple that score chances and get combined 55-60goals up front, you regularly win the league.

We have underatted the impact of strikers for too long. We must get it right next season.

Yup. We beated pool and city in both games yet we finished behind them. The only reason were lost points against small teams where two class strikers would make big differece.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

As goes for Lukaku, he can score goals no doubt. But we need more than just finisher, we need allround striker.

Mata (bad off the ball work) was great in certain things, but he was bad in other. Luiz too (inconsistent). And Ramires (terrible technicaly). We need complete players, those who can do whatever manager demands from them.

For small teams Costa-Lukaku would be very good though, but those two are very similar players. Manchesters had Aguero, Rooney (creators) and Dzeko, Rvp (finishers), while we would only have two finishers who rely on strenght. Lukaku shouldnt be sold, he could become very good striker in few years, but I doubt his allround game will improve much.

Romelu Lukaku has scored more Premier League goals over the past two seasons (32) than both Sergio Aguero (29) & Wayne Rooney (29).

Aguero scored two more league goals than Lukaku this season despite starting 9 less games.

Rooney scored two more league goals than Lukaku this season despite starting 2 less games and playing predominantly behind the striker.

Stats.....bleurgh!

One never knows with Jose?

I am just curious about Lukaku. Was it because he said some things & it didn´t sit well with Jose?

KDB, Mata, are out now, so who is next? Luiz is just about packed, does Chelsea buy young players for profit only?

It is worrying . Lukaku has never been given a chance by us

Um, he was given a chance to be part of the squad this season. He was also brought on in three of the first four games of the season.

He had his chance here. He asked to leave.

So, um, what??

I also feel the same. Any young, talented kid like him, should be given a proper chance.

Are we going to see the same shit as with Sturridge?

Ferda is tripping on the pitch, but nobody is willing to ship him out, it seems.

YOU know NOTHING

On one hand, we are told not to believe in everything we read in the media what Jose says.

Now, we ought to believe that Lukaku asked to leave?

He had ZERO games for us last season ,, This season 2 leagues ,,, and Eto brought in ,,,

We dont deserve him really

An amazing philosophy, I feel.

Lukaku out to learn more, he scores 16 goals, an old geezer is brought in to save Chelsea´s team. Lol.

He was given a squad number, a pre-season and minutes in 3 of the first 4 games of the season.

We even gave him the worst competition for a starting spot that you could hope for. He needs us far more than we will ever need him, yet he was happy to go on loan.

YOU know NOTHING

That's always my starting position.
