Romelu Lukaku

[zolayes 14,489]

He won't come back until Torres leaves. Torres won't leavae until summer 2016.

youve just ruined Sunday for a start

[zolayes 14,489]

Still a risk though

might be a risk but with Torres we know what we are getting ,,,

Still a risk though

But a risk worth taking imo.

Completely agree but that starting striker thingy is a bit too early imo , first see how things goes with him and our midfield .

I agree on this. It will be crucial. Lukaku seems to me quite the confidence player. Superb when it is up, irritated and technically under par when it is down. His interview in Humo, a respected belgian magazine, illustrated this. He himself admitted he had these issues in Chelsea AND in the belgian NT (apparently Kompany and Wilmots - accompagnied by the rest of the locker room - got on his case for sulking/venting when not playing. He admitted this in the article)

That said, he is 19, impatient and bloody ambitious. So building his confidence and having him getting enough playtime might prove to be crucial .... If we do it right: bingo! If we do it the wrong way: ouch ;-)

Try to see things without Torres for a second . I know Lukaku has great potential and all but he's not ready to play everygame , especially the important ones . If we seriously need to get going and act like the Champions League Winners ! Well , Why don't we just buy Suarez ? I know he's a cunt but he'll bang goals without ay help of the midfield . He's one man army and he's the kinda player what we desperately need now.

And WE HAVE LOTS OF MONEY . HEIL ROMAN!!!

But a risk worth taking imo.

LULZ.

I loan him for another season or 2... However, if we get cavani, that.might be bye bye to lukuku.

Not sure if its been posted but this is fucking great from talksport and the real interview shows how much of a great guy Lukaku is.

Dude he's the best player in the premier leagueeeee . RESPECT

Lukaku's form surely reduces the chances of the board wanting to get Falcao - which increases the chances of us retaining our beautiful (as a player) Belgian Courtois. Heh. Belgian Power!!!

I wish I was more like Romelu. He seems very down to earth, calm and adjusted. He isn't much older than I am, but he is a lot more mature. And richer.

He will be better than Cavani in 2 seasons...

No money spent, great squad. dreams :wub:

AVB did use him, gave him his debut very early on in his Chelsea career, came off the bench against Arsenal and United and started against Fulham and Liverpool in the Carling Cup. I also like RDM and think he shouldn't have been sacked of course, but under RDM Lukaku was not a part of any matchday squad, even in the FA Cup for games like Leicester, until the last game of the season when everything was set in stone for the league.

did I not see Lukaku start in the match in Anfield after the FA Cup or was that my imagination?

Apologies, we're both wrong. He did not start that match but he did come on as a substitute.

Haha, I love your optimism. People need to get down to earth and not get too excited. I know it's hard not to, because he's been really good at West Brom and improved vastly and rapidly this season.

But he's still raw as well. In 3-4 years time you will probably be able to see weither he'll reach the pinnacle of football or be just a decent striker.

He's only 19, but with a better physique than most 28 year olds. Most 19 year old strikers aren't as effective because their bodies aren't fully developed yet.

He has the right attitude though. With proper guidance and training he SHOULD become great.
