I saw some posts about how Lukaku can't score against a big teams.

Lukaku' goals in Premier League (WBA + Everton):

Top 4: 12 (14,2%)
5-10: 26 (30,6%)
11-16: 24 (28,2%)
Bottom 4: 23 (27%)

For example:

Morata' goals in Serie A (Juventus) + La Liga (Real Madrid):

Top 4: 1 (2,5%)
5-10: 13 (32,5%)
11-16: 12 (30%)
Bottom 4: 14 (35%)

Harry Kane' goals in Premier League (Tottenham):

Top 4: 8 (10,3%)
5-10: 20 (25,6%)
11-16: 28 (35,9%)
Bottom 4: 22 (28,2%)

Well I am not someone no to admit an error. That record looks pretty decent. That is indeed a decent record. May you please provide us with the time range this sample was compiled of?

All of their goals in Premier League for Lukaku and Kane; all of his goals in Serie A + La Liga for Morata.

Also, Lukaku scored 6 times against teams that eventually became champions, Morata - 0, Kane - 2.

What are his weaknesses and strengths?

I still think he has the talent to succeed at the top level, I would rather buy Mbappe because he looks special but I'm happy with Lukaku back at he club.

Only Aguero has scored more goals in the Prem the last 4 years

Scored 1 in every 1.5 games last year

Has always dreamed of playing for Chelsea, so fully committed

Knows the club and the Belgian boys so no settling in or adapting to the country problems

Just turning 24 so hitting his prime

On the downside he didn't score against top 6 till final game, but then again he was playing for a developing side who would be more defensively oriented, and we would use Costa against the top 6 and Lukaku against the lower teams

Drogba is very keen to see him at the Bridge, and could offer some long distance mentoring

No way he and Costa stay unless we move to a 2 striker system. But I can't see Diego and Lukaku in a 2 man partnership. Both are poor on the ball.

A last season? He scored against City in October and January, against Spurs in March and against Arsenal (as you mentioned) in May.

Was getting mixed up there, smoking hash. Reckon he'll be a good acquisition

When in flying fuck has Lukaku scored more than 2 headed goals in a season? His aerial ability has improved compare to Pedro's. Compared to a built man his size, it's pathetic. It's like having the longest legs in class, and saying you've improved because you finished 2nd-last this time, not last. Don't mark that down as progression Mark that down as finally being at the starting line, 4 years late. If you learn to head the ball at 24 you're not good enough for Chelsea ffs

This clearly shows you have not watched him this season. If you actually watched him you wouldn't of said he scored 2 headed goals. He has scored 6 but another thing you have been blindsided too. Not surprised really when you describe him as 'fat'. Couldn't make it up.

Seeing Morata play just now makes me so sad that we have to go after Lukaku while the former is available and so much more talented. There really is something wrong with the chelsea board when Lukaku and Bakayoko are first options and Morata Tolisso are second...

Well there goes that complaint 

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

Lol going for Lukaku and Bakayoko over Morata and Tolisso sums us up. Though, as long as we get Tolisso im happy. Bring back fucking torres and id still be happy. 

Man do i want us to sign Tolisso!

 

Oh, yeh. Lukaku I don't mind. 

[Bernard N Y Burgesson 139]

if you want to convince yourself who to get as a striker between morata and lukaku ask yourself this question.

if Mancheater united where to sign any of them before we did, which manchester would you fear the most?

is it the one with Morata or the one with lukaku? Personally i wanted morata because i felt Conte wanted him so he knew what he was going to do with him but then this question popped up and i changed my mind because there are so many teams in the League who can handle players like Morata but not quite so with Lukaku. The teams with the Harry Kane's the Lukaku's the Ibra's and the Costa's have their players averageing 20 goals. strikers like Firminio, Aguero Rasford or let me put it this way "link up play strikers" are finding it more difficult to score. 

Why do you think Man u didnt have Morata as their plan B but rather Lukaku simply because he is EPL PROVEN. Yes i worry too that if he arrives and is shit like POGBA am going to have to endure all the teasing  and embarassment that comes with buying a player you once rejected.

I cant see a striker who is able to score a hattrick against Osasuna do same against Sunderland or Sevilla do same against West Brom. Just cant see that happening

 

Many on this platform say lukaku can play against top teams. Lets do some math, there are 6 top teams in the epl of which we are one of them. So every season we have 10 difficult games that is 30pts for the season. Leaving us with 28 winnable games making 84pts for grabs. So with Lukaku who bullies small teams as to what people are saying can give us 84pts at least. Since football is a team game we should say that the remaining 30pts will not be totally lost because the other 9 outfield players can win them for us. This is a solution for those who worry that he can't play big games.

teams like west brom can't be broken by link up play strikers and since more of such teams are present in the league we find chelsea in who would you rather have.

My opinion is I would rather we have Lukaku and keep Bats too.

LETS SOAK THIS IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only hope he has improved his altitude and work ethic. You can have all the talents in the world but still end up shit like baloteli.

and costa's off so no way out. At least he would not talk bs like how much he want to go somewhere once every three months

[yipo 56]

conte rate him, so it is good thing
