Romelu Lukaku

[Funkyflashman 187]

Torres and Sturridge are both better than him though?

On current form I would respectfully disagree

[Blue Armour 4,278]

Lukaku is nothing like Drogba, completely different strikers actually. Drogba was a real team player upfront, everyone scored goals around him and he was involved in almost every damn goal. He also has a great determination, hence his big game record.

There's some players you just can't change, look at Mario Balotelli, if he changed all his attitude and became a good guy, he would be a totally different player and for me he would be worse. His mentallity is getting back at people and proving people wrong, that's how he gets his goals, that's why he stands still when he scores and says a big fuck you to all the haters. Drogba used to sulk at times, sometimes never got involved in the team pre training because he used to be that pissed off, for example Carlo in the 2nd season, it was about december when he was like that, against that copenhagen.

Though i think mentallity can determine a player, my point is Lukaku has a completely different one to Drogba, i feel Lukaku is the one who will stay quiet and keep his frustration inside if there is any. But that also seems to keep him in good spirit and hope, like he is at West Brom, he's grateful for his minutes and enjoying his time there, playing with the team and not being too greedy to try and impress Chelsea. He's actually working for Steve Clark in the way he wants him to.

But in terms of a player, Lukaku will get you more goals than Drogba, Lukaku seems to be more of a goal scoring striker, his finishing and movement is actually very good despite a lot of missed chances at West Brom, i assure you when he's in his prime he will be scoring for fun from all angles and troubling defences. However i would expect him to be more of a Mario Gomez, not completely failing in big games, but not coming to life in them either. Like i doubt he will be able to raise his game, he seems more of the consistent in his own way type. Completely different striker to Drogs though, but he's a lot better than Drogba in some ways, under Roman we are still yet to have a striking goal machine.

True. Drogba's character is as strong as his physique.

Lukaku has done much better if anything, i honeslty thought he should've went to the Championship as i didn't think he could cut the premier league just yet, but damnit he's proved me wrong.

On current form I think he would put in a better shift than both Torres and Sturridge considering he is getting quite a few goals at WBA and looking quite threatening up front and with our creative players I am sure he would even take more advantage of that

Maybe Torres, but Lukaku wouldn't get games if Sturridge isn't.

I'm no Torres fan, but he has 7 goals, Lukaku is in and out of a West Brom side with 3 goals. Sturridge hasn't been given a proper chance yet but right now I'd also prefer him over Lukaku.

according to Belgian press his contract doesnt allow him to play against Chelsea...

"Chelsea forbids Lukaku to play"

[Hamilton 2,120]

I saw the same article mate, as far a i know he can't cause of PL rules..

"In the Premier League, players on loan are not permitted to play against the team which holds their registration (section 7.2 of rule M.6). This means that one of the 'big' clubs can loan out a promising young player to an opposing team in the Premiership but the loanee will not be allowed to play against his 'owning' club and his parent club will not be able to observe how he plays against a 'big' club. Loanees are, however, allowed to play against their 'owning' clubs in cup competitions, unless they have played for their owning club in that cup during that season."

It's not the contract mate, it's the PL rules, regardless if there is a clause in his contract or not.

Somewhat misleading article then..

Indeed, a site like that should know that.. A lot of reactions on fb on the article are from people who believe that story, shame cause a lot of them don't like Cfc about it..

[DONI. 1,291]

Lukaku just scored for West Brom.

[Hamilton 2,120]

Indeed, good penalty, wich he claimed to shoot it.. But it wasn't a penalty to be fair..

[mediator 2,026]

What a strike !!

[Hamilton 2,120]

And now the assist!

[mediator 2,026]

And 1 assist for him

[mediator 2,026]

And one terrific strike on the post.

Huge 20 min game by Lukaku

[Jusek 2,031]

A Goal, assist and one post shot. Sounds like a good 90 minutes for him.
