This is the reason why he HAD to leave as rapidly as possible. He runs his mouth more than he scores goals. Toxic player to the squad. Balotelli 2.0 in the making.

It's not even his poor media skills that's worrisome but his delusion of grandeur, arrogance and false sense of entitlement. I wonder how everton fans are feeling right now with regards to his comment.

Skipper, you speak Dutch. Feel free to read the article: http://www.nieuwsblad.be/sportwereld/cnt/dmf20150212_01525362

Hoe was het voor jou hier spelen, waar je bent weggehaald, maar waar de trainer toch weer lof heeft voor je?

‘Het was schitterend. Een mooie club. Ik was echt goed ontvangen door de spelers en de supporters. Ze weten dat ik uiteindelijk een goeie speler ben, maar ik wil groeien als speler, om dan uiteindelijk terug voor zo één van die clubs te spelen.’

Je hebt het hoofdstuk nog niet helemaal afgesloten? Je hoopt stiekem om hier ooit nog een vaste plek te krijgen?

‘Nee, er zijn andere clubs op aarde. Je moet altijd alle opties open houden. Maar ik wil gewoon groeien als speler en uiteindelijk terug bij een topclub belanden.’

Now tell me if you think he said something wrong?

For the English speakers:

How did it feel to play at the bridge again, where you were sent away, but also the club where the manager (Jose) did praise you as player last week?

"It was amazing, a real great club! I was welcomed really nicely by both players and fans. They know that eventually I'm a good player. But I still want to grow as a player to then, one day, play for one of these big clubs again."

You haven't really closed the chapter it seems? Are you secretly hoping to one day get a spot in the starting line up here again?

"No, there are other clubs on earth. You always have to keep all options open, that's true. But I just want to grow and develop as a player and eventually get back to one of the world's top clubs."

Because he just recently joined a new club for 30 million, how would you feel as an Everton fan when your underperforming record signing is saying he wants to join a top-club in the future?

As opposed to the scrub team that is Everton? He needs to shut the fuck up and show Everton fans why they bought him for such a large amount of money.

They baited him.

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

They baited him.

and he bit. After years of him giving interviews he should be prepared for those question. But he has never been very diplomatic. At least it is entertaining that he often utters what he thinks with him always being so cocky.

But when his ambition has always been to play for a top club, he rather might have stayed here and learned from the best, instead of playing at a place where he has no pressure to improve. tbh I'd have left CFC, too. We were never going to give him a chance and he is showing why. At this rate it will take years until he has worked out ho tot use his strengths correctly.

He remains a good player and Bundesliga would suit him. Most players there are half his size and slow as fuck. He would tear apart all those shitty sides.

In Mous first season back he had a chance to be a member of the squad, with his competition a decent but past his prime Eto'o, an out of favour Ba and abysmal Torres but bottled it.

This season he had a place in the squad avaliable to him, he asked to leave.

He was offered opportunities to be an active member of one of the best squad's in Europe at 20 then 21, as far as getting chances do doesn't get much bigger at his age.

This. He needs to perform and grow first. Lukakus mouth (and his flapping with discontent on the pitch while underperforming) needs a reality check. If I compare to the humbleness Eden and KDB show while performing on the pitch....

Ps: this comes from one that indeed recognised he was badly portrayed in his media appearances at first. No more now though. He needs Gnothi Seauton- know yourself.

I tended to go easy on him as he proved 2 years on loan that he can deliver but now he isn't.

How he can even contemplate talking in the media about future clubs even if he was baited, I don't understand. Add all the pointing to his feet and the arrogant gestures on the pitch as if he thinks he da man... he's making a fool of himself.

He needs a big slice of humble pie

Should have stayed one more year. He would have been second choice but he's better than Remy and would have had more chances.

[LukakutoStamford 779]

Wolfsburg would be much better off with Benteke who is a true target man and would probably be cheaper than Romelu.

Benteke is still quite good he's suffering from shit service and he's still from his Achillies year from April.

hat trick against Young Boys in Europa league

[zolayes 14,489]

Lukaku MAN against Boys :D

[hamad138 190]

Will he go to wolfsburg next season? They are still interested in him and they are becoming Manchester city 2.0

And missed 5 great chances, at least 2 of them sitters.

Debatable...Remy scored like 15 goals at Newcastle last season didn't he.

[Fulham Broadway 16,966]

Could have easily scored six tonight, but missed 3 open goals -we made the right decision

[LukakutoStamford 779]

He's too inconsistent and he's mediocre to poor in tight spaces. Great option to have for a counter attacking team but poor option for a target man. Chelsea did well to get 28 for him.

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

Hmm, he gets a perfect ten from UEFA (ok, that's a little overdoing it), but he still gets slated on Talkchelsea. Give him a break. ;-)

Some food for thought!

Romelu's career stats in official games:

2009-2010 - Anderlecht: 33 (competition games) 15 goals / 11 (european games) 4 goals => 19 goals

2010-2011 - Anderlecht: 37 (competition games) 16 goals / 11 (european games) 4 goals => 20 goals

2011-2012 - Anderlecht: 2 (competition games) 2 goals

2011-2012 - Chelsea: 08 (competition games) 0 goals => 0 goals

2012-2013 - West Brom: 35 (competition games) 17 goals => 17 goals

2013-2014 - Chelsea: 2 (competition games) 0 goals => 0 goals

2013-2014 - Everton: 31 (competition games) 15 goals => 15 goals

2014-2015 - Everton: 28 (competition games) 7 goals / 8 (european games) 7 goals => 14 goals (and counting)

The kid just proves he's an absolute solid goalscorer wherever he plays! Then to know that during the 2011-2014 seasons we were desperately in need of a scoring striker!!!

Really hate the Chelsea figures in these stats!!!!!!
