I'm afraid not a lot of you will have seen the interview (let alone be able to understand a single word they say ). So here's the summary of the most important things that have been said: He's feeling

In August 2011 Lukaku joined English club Chelsea, for a fee reported to be around £10 million, rising to £18 million in add-ons. Lukaku was given the number 18 shirt and signed a five-year contract. He made his home debut in a 31 victory over Norwich City in the 83rd minute, coming on as a substitute for Fernando Torres.

Lukaku made his first start for the club in the League Cup against Fulham. Chelsea went on to win the match on penalties. Lukaku spent the majority of the season playing for the reserves. On 13 May 2012, he started his first league match against Blackburn Rovers and turned in a man of the match performance providing an assist for John Terry's opener. However, Lukaku stressed that he was disappointed with his involvement at the end of his debut season, revealing that, after his side's UEFA Champions League win on 19 May, he refused to hold the trophy as he didn't feel like a winner.

After speculation linking Lukaku to a loan move to Fulham, on 10 August 2012 he joined West Bromwich Albion on a season long loan deal. He scored his first league goal eight days later, coming on as a substitute on the 77th minute in a 30 win against Liverpool. He made his full debut in a win against Reading at The Hawthorns, scoring the game's only goal.

On 24 November, Lukaku came on as a 70th minute substitute for Shane Long and netted a penalty and provided an assist to Marc-Antoine Fortune, as West Brom defeated Sunderland 4-2.

The win proved to be West Brom's fourth consecutive win in the top flight for the first time since 1980. On 12 January 2013, Lukaku had his first multi-goal game in the Premier League, giving West Brom a 2-0 lead against Reading, before a late come back gave the Berkshire club a 3-2 victory.

After controversially claiming that he did not want to go back to his parent club and that he wished to stay at West Brom for another year, Lukaku told the press that he still wished to become a legend at Stamford Bridge. On 11 February, Lukaku came on off the bench and scored his 10th Premier league goal of the season against Liverpool in a match that ended 2-0. He scored his second brace of the campaign, scoring both goals for West Brom in their 2-1 defeat of Sunderland on 23 February. On 9 March, in a league match against Swansea City, Lukaku scored the equalising goal, before having a penalty kick saved; West Brom eventually won the game courtesy of a Jonathan de Guzmán own goal. On 19 May, coming on as a second half substitute Lukaku scored an incredible second-half perfect hat-trick, as West Brom came from three goals down to draw 5-5 in the season's final home game against Manchester United. The game was Sir Alex Ferguson's 1500 and last match in charge of United and the highest scoring draw in the history of the Premier League. Despite being loaned out by the club, Lukaku outscored his Chelsea teammates in the Premier League that season, being the sixth-highest goal scorer of 201213 with 17 goals.

"He is one of those players we couldn't afford to lose because of his potential and that's why we made the move in the market even though our team is competitive enough in that sector of the field," said the Chelsea boss.

Recognition by AVB that we didn't need another striker but just didn't want to miss out on him, reassuring.
