So we are to take he’s not a good signing off of a video that is 1 minute 52 seconds long when he played over 3000 minutes in Serie A, 474 minutes in the CL and 473 minutes in the EL last season? Aye ok then. 

People are looking too much into it though. Hes an elite goalscorer first and foremost.

Would I have preferred Haaland yes but am I going to turn down Lukaku no a consistent goalscorer in his worse season at Manchester United he still outscored anyone on our team last season.

I was watching his highlight reels and is it just me, or was he far superior at Everton than United?

Romelu Lukaku is undergoing the first part of his Chelsea medical in Italy after the club agreed in principle a club-record deal worth £97.5m (€115m) to re-sign the striker from Inter Milan.

The medical is taking place in Milan, while the paperwork is now with club lawyers, and once that is formalised Lukaku is expected to sign a five-year contract.

Inter have previously rejected two offers from Chelsea for the Belgium international, the second of which was worth £85m (€100m) plus left-back Marcos Alonso.

Lukaku, 28, left Chelsea in 2014 after making just 15 appearances there following his arrival at Stamford Bridge from Anderlecht in 2011.

I think Havertz and Mount will up their end product with a proper #9.

No matter what side of the fence you are on, I'm sure no one can deny that they're looking forward to see how he plays on his first return game.

Hope he has a scoring 'debut'.

I'm a little worried, most of our games in the first two months are big ones and if he fails to score in them the pressure and scrutiny will become absolutely unbearable (on both him and us as a team).

It's typical that the one game in the near future that is tailor made for him (Palace at home) he may not be ready for.

I'm worried about that too.

But on the flip side, I'm thinking we'll find out sooner rather than later whether he's good enough

If he has a bump from moving to a new team, let it be during our first 6 games.

I agree with your sentiment but for me (although according to some i know nothing about footie) the first 10 games are vital for us.

Win em all and we will be well on our way with a yard to spare come the run in etc.

Also sends a message across the bow to our rivals.

Mount will play. Harvetz will play some and sit out some. Same with Werner.
So, better players (than Lukaku) will sit for him to play.

I guess it is what it is. Just hope Tuchel has the guts to do the right thing when the situation demands it.
