ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 With Drogba mentoring him, and looking at how Drogba plays, I'm sure Lukaku won't be slacking. If he succeeds, then I can see him as our future captain... the hard work has just begun for him drogs also mentors kalou so i think it will take more than that to make him a star Kostas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 drogs also mentors kalou so i think it will take more than that to make him a star You can't really compare Kalou and Lukaku now can you Drogs and Kalou don't even play the same position, absolutely different players. And there is not much wrong with Kalou's technique, he just doesn't seem to have the intelligence to use it wisely... That's why he is inconsistent, some days work out for him, some days the opposition defenders are just worse, most of the times he just makes wrong decisions.

manpe 10,861 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Kalou was originally a striker.A different striker. Lukaku is already Drogba on steroids in terms of physics. Again, I see no basis why people compare him to Kalou/C.Cole/Heskey... Kalou just doesn't have it, whilst Lukaku definitely has the passion to make things happen and Drogba is his idol. I can't even see Drogba mentoring Kalou anymore, if anybody, it should be Malouda. Lukaku doesn't strike me as a sloucher/slacker type.

Popular Post! Sheva. 5,373 Posted August 8, 2011 Popular Post! Share Posted August 8, 2011 Lukaku's dad - "For him, it's an absolute dream come true. He will play alongside his idol, Didier Drogba. When he heard the news, he went crazy. He jumped for joy. He has directly put on the jersey of Chelsea and he started dancing in the living room. At that moment, I remembered that my son was still only 18. This naivety is amazing. I think it will help him succeed. He will play in one of the biggest clubs in the world but it will never be undermined by pressure" NiclasCFC, sLOVEnian Blue, Ramox and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point im making is that drogs aint a coach and we shouldnt expect him to be training lukaku in one to ones. Of course he will pass on bit of knowledge but he wont be the reason for lukakus success or failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsden 4,689 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Are you saying Drogba isn't technically gifted?Perhaps we have to define "technique". When discussing technically gifted strikers, the names that usually comes to mind are Berbatov, Aguero,Van persie, Zlatan, D.Villa, Eto'o et al. players who possess great first touch and close control and decent/excellent dribbling skills among other skills. To me Drogba has always relied on his physicality and belongs to the same level as Van Nistelroy, Di natale,Torres, Luca Toni et al in terms of technical ability.

I don't know what you've been watching for the last 8 years or so but his control and touch is incredible. He does some utterly amazing things with the ball that some of the players you mentioned couldn't dream of doing. I'm amazed you don't think he is technically gifted, gobsmacked actually.I think the unfortunate thing about players like Drogba is that they are put into a box by the mainsteam sports media ie. he's a battering ram with little to no skill and most people just believe it.
