Romelu Lukaku

Nice Match, Stoke really did some good business buying all the enfant terribles/artists deemed lost for top level football.

There is plenty of time for him to come back one day...it was always better that he left. Chelsea management would make him a championship player at best anyway. He wouldnt play, he wouldnt develop, and thats why its better fro him to be somewhere where he actualy plays and has trust from coach .

We let him go and got Costa who was arguably the best striker in the league last season and got us to a title. Would've been great to have kept both but Lukaku has explained why that didn't happen.

That's why I think Lukaku would have no worries about coming back if we were to go for him in June. He'll relish the fact he'll be the one other will have to compete with as opposed to what he had before.

Rom is hot property right now. National and international buzz. You can't get around him at the moment. Think the summer of 2016 is the time to make a move. Lots of teams looking for a striker.

His journey has been incredible so far. He's quite seasoned for a 22-year-old. Having followed his rise up close, so to speak, I admire his will and dedication to become better and better. He's always seemed like a nice boy so I wish him all the luck in the world. I'd love for him to completely prove me wrong about his capability to lead a top team to glory.

I'm actually very curious to know how he would fare in Europe. Type and quality of defending. Refereeing...

Obviously that won't happen at Everton so even if he likes his life there he must know he's gotta move to truly test himself.

[Cosmin 2,484]

I was one of those who agreed that it's better for everyone if he leaves, but looking back now, I have to say that I was wrong. And it's a little unfair, when you think about it. Chelsea chose Courtois over Cech because "he's the future". Yet, Lukaku didn't stand a chance even if it was quite obvious that he was "the future" more than Costa. But that was then, it seemed like a decent choice and I guess it's too late now to fix this.

I wish him best of luck anyways.

He was the Europa League top scorer last year. He scored several goals throughout his first European campaign with Anderlecht as well, as a 16 year old boy. I'd say he'd do better in Europe than in the PL. He'll never leave the PL I think, but it would be fun seeing him destroy defenders in a more open league.

wow we are in really bad shape when we say Europe and people understand Europa League....

at the time ...it wasnt quite that obvious.

Even last season Everton fans were still complaining he couldnt trap a bag of cement and needed loads of chances to score one.

Obviously, different story this season....just shows how forgetful and how fickle fans can be especially when they magically morph into hindsight harrys

Come back home Romelu

[Fulham Broadway 16,834]

His agent at the time, Henrotey engineered a move out of Chelsea. Lukaku then swithched to a new agent Raiola.

Raiola has now said he needs to go to a big club like Citeh, PSG or Man Utd.

Not sure Raiola considers us a 'big' club now

Thank fuck - that will reduce the premiums

He shouldn't come back - it never works out - we had him, we lost him, all move on

Deulofeu is an excellent crosser of the ball.
