Romelu Lukaku

[Nic! 301]

The kid seems to be performing well on training. Two tweets show that he's really working hard to get in the A-squad and he's staying positive.

Lost 11-6 in 7vs7 in training.. Scored 5goals #alwayslookonthebrightsideoflife...

1-1.. We should win this game the game of monday will be important.just did not made the squad today but i'm getting closer

(after fullham game)

It seems that, although his first touch his pretty weak, he can score goals. Even if it's only on training and reserves games.

Come on get a goal when you come on son !

Dissapointed that even without Sturridge & Drogba there still is no place in the starting line-up for Romelu. And then not even getting some minutes at the end of the game (oh wait, he could have played 30seconds when the ball would have gone out!!!). When Will AVB be confident enough to let him play. With the 0-1 at the scoreboard today, timing was perfect. With the 1-1 timing was even better! AVB is so lucky that Lamps could tap in a late winner or I would have been f# pissed.

But let's end positive: hope that there is a place for Lukaku in the team the next weeks. When I've seen Torres' play today, why not putting him in the n°10 spot and let Romelu play in front of him AVB?

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure he will start against Pompey, even if he takes the FA Cup more seriously it will be a great chance for Lukaku to get his bearings on English football with this type of team.

If he does not start I will eat my hand.

AVB has to give him some game time, may not have looked great in the Carling Cup but hes talented thats for sure.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I think he'll get a start against Portsmouth - and hopefully he'll get a goal at Stamford Bridge for his troubles! Luka's problem at this moment is he tries too hard when he comes on to impress the manager. He just needs to hold the ball up and get in the box to get on the end of crosses.

Got to love the boy's mentality!

Not having a spot in the team while 2 of your main competitors Drogs & Sturridge were injured. Being asked to warm up at the side line for almost the whole second half. Knowing your team could use you in the last part of the game to garantue a win with the 0-1 & especially the 1-1 score. Eventually being called up after Lamps scored the 1-2 , which clearly shows your coach doesn't show confidence in you... And to make it even worse standing at the sideline to get subbed but not be able to get in because your coach only gave you 1 minute and the ball stays in the game, result => the ref's whistle blows the end of the game and you look like a fool at the sideline!

=> Would clearly piss me off!!

But what was Lukaku's reaction on his twitter account after te game:

"Great win today.. Excellent mentality after the goal we conceded: a goal. Now enjoy our day Off and train hard for the next Cup Game #cfc"

Chelsea fans: gotta love this kid! And hope for him he gets a starter in one of the next games and scores a goal!! :cfc:

Some sources are linking him with a loan move to Marseille..

I tought that he could not be loaned out anymore?

[Marvin123 484]

I think he will start against pompey! I let's hope for a few goals from the fella!

[Nic! 301]

He can't, so that would be a false rumour. His situation will be evaluated at the end of the season. Then he might go on loan, but more likely to an English team.

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

Would he not be able to be loaned out now as it's a new transfer window meaning clubs can register new players?

[Hamilton 2,120]

Both that one and belgiumsoccer.be ! Both are bringing the same article without checking sources!

[Hamilton 2,120]

Now, to clear things, does that rule count for a football season or for a calender year ??

My question exactly.

[Atholy 1,293]

Since we're dealing with football matters, I think/hope UEFA rules in terms of football seasons... And not holiday seasons ! So Romelu will still be playing at the Bridge in the next months!

Anyways, Lukaku should never to Marseille if he would to be loaned out. Another team in the EPL would be by far the best option!

Okay, that's very clear. He can't go until the end of the season.
