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.

If we are going to challenge in all comps, everybody will sit at times, including Lukaku. If Lukaku has the form he showed at Inter, we do not have a better number 9.

Agreed with the first point.

Think the second is irrelevant: City has been winning the PL without a #9 and so did Liverpool.

I'm afraid that the price tag and name will make him play more than he should, even if not in great form. I guess we will find out.

Big Rom has even  bigger ago end a very bad attitude. His antics at Man United and fall outs with everybody and everyone got really bad from the moment Ole was starting Rashford instead of him. 

We have that big ego, bad attitude player after he enjoyed royalty status in Milan, where he was considered the king of Milan and we expect him to accept being rotated. OK. I guess he could have signed extra clause in his contract to accept Tuchel's rotation system and go with it and we could actually not see him in line ups for certain games. In that case, even I would be OK with this signing.

30 goals in all competitions, improve our play against teams that sit back.

that's very easy one to answer: silverware (and not FA cup 😉)
 

After all, did we not win the CL without him, or a "proper" #9?

I dont expect 25 goals on his first season, he may have played in the PL before but there will still be a period of adjustment, I also think he will miss games at the start of the season to get fit and adjust to the system and type of play, saying that I do think he still will achieve atleast 15 pl goals this season 

[Special Juan 27,424]

It's time for people to deal with him.

Paying 100 millions for a so called in his prime player with PL experience and needs time to adjunct while scoring just 15 PL goals, surely you taking the piss, anything below 20 goals in the PL and around 30 goals overall is a big joke to the fee we paid.

This.

Players that cost that money don't have time to adapt. He needs to score immediately

2 years away, that will need time to adjust. Our top scorer last season was jorgi with 7 goals lol, so yeah ATLEAST 15 is a massive upgrade to that. Easy to say 30 overall league Cup n fa Cup we normally play 2nd tier players so he will always miss a few of them games, to actually put a target of 30 goals on him first season back is a bit steep. Dont get me wrong I hope he does, but I live in the real world n not cloud 9

And that's 1 of chelseas biggest problems managers/players regardless of cost just dont get time, 100 mill is the price inter value the player at u can't blame lukaku for his price.

Its not just problem with Chelsea. Is with every top club.

Players that cost that amount of money they most show quality immediately. 

[Special Juan 27,424]

100 percent done. Romano has just confirmed. He is in Monaco and flies to London tomorrow morning 

What a signing.

I don't care if 15 goals is an upgrade on what we have, if you put Abraham and play him 30 matches a season he can score 15 Premier league goals as well, as I said for the fee paid, PL experience, at the peak of his career and a supposed world class striker as some say he is anything below 20 non penalty Premier league goals is a disgrace, Kane reaches this number every season even when he spends a month or two on the sidelines. I don't care he will miss a 2-3 matches at the start of the season has over 30 matches to score at least 20 goals, as for tactics it's irrelevant he is assigned to finish the chances 

Yeah kane does his value is 150m. For a 28 year old. 100m is the new norm its nothing special
