He could of been great his piss poor attitude let him down 

His technical abilities are a far bigger problem than his ego.

Both come hand in hand, sad part about all this is he was our top goal scorer lol

There's talk that the Lukaku deal will include an option to extend the loan again next season but triggering that extension will also include an obligation to buy.

Will see how this plays out. Ultimately I think it's going to be a case of getting his wages off the payroll and minimising his amortisation hit to the books each season for the forseeable.

From Nizaar: “Somebody told me once that Tuchel and Lukaku were chatting watching a Spurs match, Tuchel then said “There’s your daddy” about Antonio Conte as a joke, it didn't go down well with Lukaku".

I mean he was "seen" about as much as Alonso and Chilwell were, players who have done a hell of a lot more for this club.

Usually I'd take these type of stories with a pinch of salt but it fits in exactly with his behaviour down the years.

Given the less games this season compared to last, that should be enough to remain competitive for top 4.

Let's be optimistic. It could be exactly the same number of games. 🙂

Was so obvious the guy [Rom] is a massive bust from first day we got linked. Absolute fraud.

No, I don't think this is true. I didn't know anything about him when he was first linked. It wasn't until autumn of 2011 that we had seen enough of Rom for it to become clear he wasn't Chelsea level. Should have just taken Everton's money two and a half years later and be done with it.

Nothing against the posters but still comedy gold to read some of these comments. [About signing Rom from Inter.]

To be fair, you've implied what I'm going to say but I'd like to make it explicit.

All of us here have confidence in our football opinions, which is why we take the trouble to type them out day after day. 🙂 I readily admit that I have a strong belief in my ability to judge a footballer but, even so, I've made misjudgements. I won't speak for anyone else but I've made mistakes and not quite too few to mention. I think all we need to have is the integrity to say yep, I got that one wrong, and we can get back to listing out all of the ones we feel we got right.

So no different with Todd on how we operate. 

Same shenanigans'. We pay a big fee to Italian and then we give them a player back for free. 

The deal is not exactly free for Inter but what else are the new owners supposed to have done?

I had to save this drawing just because it triggered the big baby.

I will move it to the loan army thread, but we still own him, sadly.
