Romelu Lukaku

[laura90 556]

I have never believed he can come good here. Never. You are free to read the first ten posts I wrote about him. I warned you all and predicted this. When this signing was imminent I wish the fans went to Stamford Bridge and took protest preventing club to get him. I have always  told that his ego and the fact that is the first class prick ,who has better opinion about himself than anyone else have, will get us in the major scandal and  trouble eventually. He thinks he is Real level player, the world class. His ego is enormous and his behaviour  is horrible. He spent entire career blaming someone else for his shortcomings. As soon as I saw him benched, I was wondering what will happen. Not surprised at all.  Was expecting this. 

If Tuchel didn't want him, and I still believe it's the case, this club is run by clowns.

We will dump elite manager for dirty speaking blaming everybody else monkey, who once upon time had pace and lethalness in front of the goal against bottom league clubs.

So now you want to debate what means more a player scoring a goal or the player that passed it to him

So assits are now goals?

kk bruh

Okay well on that basis, even if you're just going to purely look at the game as a spreadsheet it's Ramires who made the game changing contribution.

If only he cost £50m.....

I really wanted us to get that one before Liverpool.

We could have literally reversed the history chants and it would have infuriated them.

I NEVER forgave FSW for his shit tactics in that game

plus we had the rotten luck of facing the best Brasil side since the early noughties, if you look at some of the yearss before and after is, it is a fucking joke how shit the non euro teams were

LDU Quito! (and Manure played like shit and barely won, after they did not even qualify for the tile game in the first ever FWCC)

Estudiantes (probably the second best South American side after the first 3, they gave prime Barca hell)

TP Mazembe!

Raja Casabalanca!

Kashima Antlers ffs!

San Lorenzo

Al-Ain!

UANL smdh

and very poor (for them) Santos and River Plate sides

Real Madrid are the luckiest fuckers ever, 4 time in the final, all against shit teams, other than a decent, but hardly great Gremio team)

We need to sell him now, because the guy is a cancer, just like cancer the longer he stays the more he destroys the locker room.

who would even buy him now? barcelona is our only chance maybe. still, dont see tuchel letting him go.

Torres in my eyes was 100% a success. His goal against barca paid his fee back twice.

Worse signing than shevchenko is lukaku

Wow you're criteria for success must be pretty small!

The Torres signing left us hamstrung for years. The Barca goal was a great emotional moment to cap off the most ridiculous game but it was technically irrelevant as we were through without it.

On top of putting up with Torres, we lost Sturridge and missed out on Aguero as a result and unlike other complete failures like Morata we weren't able to get any sort of return back on him.

There is absolutely no way that Lukaku can be packaged alongside Torres at present. He has 7 goals in 18 games so far, 6 of those have been coming on as a sub so his goal output considering how much he's played so far this season is far from dreadful. We can all debate his 'fit' in the team but he's not a player currently on the decline or blighted by injuries like Torres was when he was bought here. 

[Superblue 6,370]

Let's see how the smoke settles with this. 

I don't see a situation where it becomes Tuchel or Lukaku, I think any differences between the two can be resolved.

The bigger issue is actually going to be Lukaku keeping on the good side of the match going fans. If he has a blinder on Sunday and scores the winner, I think this will end up blowing over in time. But if he fails to perform, I think he'll have a job on his hands to get the support back on his side.

Potentially Falcao and Cavani too (the latter of which would still be useful for us to this day).

[Warning_Hazard 156]

Torres was a better signing than lukaku

 

Change my mind..

That's the thing, at that moment in time there was a huge supply of quality strikers. How true it is but the stories I've heard are that Chelsea had the opportunity to buy Godin and Aguero in the summer from Atletico and didn't want to wait so ended up buying Luiz and Torres. It was a complete cock up and is the biggest highlighter as to why I'm cautious of us trying to resolve current problems we have now this January with injuries, etc. I can easily see a situation we spend money on a Digne or Trippier and be stuck with them for the foreseeable future instead of going for a much better, long term fit in the summer.

I hope this lights a fire under his ass before the Liverpool game.

For those asking why we even bought him in the first place, what were the alternatives at the time? Just coming off a CL win the club (rightly) figured we needed 1 last world class piece up top to complete our team. We were never going to pay the £175m or whatever it was PLUS mega wages for Haaland last summer and Tuchel/the club probably didn’t feel it was worth the risk to sign a kid like Vlahovic who was still a big risk at the time.

We wanted a striker in their prime years. Lukaku was coming off of a top season and had connections to the club already. It all made sense at the time. There wasn’t really any obvious long term alternative.

I agree this is what I think. There was no other way. But in the end we always had a a sense that this could happened with him. Oh well let's hope that if we can sell we cash on soon and don't do a torres.

Costa X Conte     Lukaku X Tuchel

Made in  Chelsea .

I thought he would be poor and a waste of money. Didnt think be giving a exit ish interview this soon. He obviously doesn't care about the club or wouldn't have done this or least held back a bit with his love for Inter. Once you leave fine..

The fact that you're comparing him to Lukaku and not Drogba/Costa or even Eto'o/Ba/Sturridge says everything I need to know.

[NikkiCFC 7,948]

I am not worried about selling him. In a situation where Conte texted to Costa that he does not have plans with him anymore and when Diego said he will only go to Atletico we still sold him for big money.

Marina will get 100m for Lukaku.
