Just hope we don't go all powerful and strong players this summer. We also need players who are highly technical and elegant. 

So far our strongest linked have been Lukaku and Bakayoko who are all about physicality.

Can't understand why many fans are against him. Good move from the club he belongs to Chelsea. Will guarantees us 20 goals..

Mate he is worse than Costa, the only difference between them is one can make a difference if he is in form and the other is plain shit against big clubs. Lukaku is a product of inflating his tally, scoring as many as possible against shit teams while doing nothing against the better ones.

I'll have a meltdown if he comes here to be honest, but maybe that's just me. I swear I don't know understand how any Chelsea fan would want him here. This guy couldn't even fight for his place at THE CLUB HE CLAIMS HE LOVES and now wants back to play CL. Hope he doesn't touch an inch of our locker room.

He minces his words to try and make sure he comes off with a halo after anything he says. 
He doesn't motivate the players around him to play better, he just lambasts the right back when he can't reach him 80 yards away with a pin point pass (lambasting which won't happen here, because he'll want his halo effect. In turn, he's just a fake person.)
He still has stamina issues. No way he can play week in week out both in the Premier League & against the best in Europe; - not effectively.
His individual game, technique, etc, is poor - he's scored the amount he has simply because that was Everton's goal, as a team, to put the goals through him. He's shown nothing that can benefit us; he simply stayed as far forward as he could each game and hope the defenders made the mistake of being too far forward for a split second, letting him run with average pace to place average shots in the back of the net. If you want this amount of goals from Lukaku again, you have to buy their whole team, play as they do, and suffer as they do.
He's shown more obsession and interest in being the next Drogba than the first Lukaku. He's too in his head and not enough in his body.
He's not above average for Belgium; he's already shown 0 exceptional chemistry with Hazard.
 

I'm not saying this sums him up entirely, but these are the valid negatives he brings.

Very underwhelming if true, especially for that price. Every game he doesn't score will be a moan fest. It's a downgrade from Costa but the lack of forwards available makes it understandable. The only thing he has going for him is his age. He will improve.

If he were to rotate with Costa, it sounds like a lot of firepower, and other fans who're 18 and on Twitter will buy into it also, but mentality is everything, most of us must know it by now. And surely if measured, we'd see both Lukaku & Costa end up at the bottom end of any scale measuring who has/hasn't got an affective mentality.

Lukaku & Costa have the same drawbacks, but Costa's positives are twice as positive. They're not in the same league, and even Costa himself isn't in the top tier. It'd be frightening to buy more into sentiment than quality. Especially when it costs over 50m, and costs you competitions, chemistry, morale, versatility. 

Another Roman signing. Conte would despise this kind of player.
