robdog 2,084 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 YouTube videos aside, saying Drogba is not technically gifted is similar to saying Jimi Hendrix was an average guitarist. The man's poise and balance is incredible, and his ability to do skill moves is incredible.IMHO Drog's first touch is what makes a cut above the rest of the #9's w/ his size. I wanted to post some vids of Drogba too. Oh what the hell, W/ all this Didi love being thrown around, I hate to bring up his bad points. Face Didi is one of a kind. I just hope Young Romelu enjoys his time w/ Didi. It might not be that long, but I am sure he will get something from Didi.

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Lukaku has some boundries of skill, his finishing has potential is somewhat not brilliant. He obviously has strength, and can use that for when he charges onto balls and what not. From what i have seen in videos, i can see that he likes to make attacks fro himself skilling on players - which sometimes works and sometimes does. You can see the resemblence to Didier, but he is built to much to be next 'Drogba', but he has the ability to become himself with his own assets which can be improved by working with Drogba.

Kieran. 6,317 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 What's odd is that Lukaku has said he doesn't lift weights. Lucky motherfucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanicus 5,208 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Can't wait to see him on wednesday when he's playing in my country against Slovenia ... He is a wonderful player and I think in a few years he will lead our attacking line with Sturridge.Me too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Lukaku would be a very nice signing for CFC, definately not a position we needed to buy in but Lukaku will be one for the future, will look forward to seeing him play for us soon enough.

lionsden 4,689 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXiTdjn5ZVY YouTube videos aside, saying Drogba is not technically gifted is similar to saying Jimi Hendrix was an average guitarist. The man's poise and balance is incredible, and his ability to do skill moves is incredible.You do realise youtube can make anything look good and those were just exceptions. I have based my assertion on all the Chelsea games DD has featured in over the years. His first touch and close control is absolutely appalling for a professional footballer and he's majorly responsible for our poor ball retention in the final third over the last 3 years I can not recall how many build up play he broke down last season and during pre-season due to his heavy touches and poor dribbling ability. The only technical attribute he can take credit for is his set-piece delivery and crossing/long balls which is not sufficient to qualify a player as technically gifted but I don't want to derail this Lukaku thread and would end this discussion from here.

Randall 315 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 If you think Drogba is not technically gifted then you have a severe mental retardation or you know nothing about football, it's ludicrous to suggest that drogba isn't technically gifted and I'd even go as far to say that he's one of our most technically gifted players.Anyway I'm a bit concerned that there's been no announcement.

J.F. 1,484 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Lukaku's Dad on his son's reaction to the Chelsea deal:'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'.i don't know if this was posted here, so...
