Hate the move. It reeks of desparation. The kid is 19. He really needs more time at West Brom to develop certain aspects that are lacking. It's not that he's not talented it just that he's going to go from super sub with occasional starts with a mid table club to Champions League caliber team and either be the main guy or play in a squad role. Either way it's a no win situation if he's the guy that's an awful lot of pressure to put on a 20 yer old who has never beena full time starter. If he's playing a squad role then what's the point? If he stays at West Brom he expands his role into being the main striker and gets experience playing a full tiem schedule. He's certainly capable of making the transition but he's coming back to play in FA cup 4th round matches etc the there's no point.

Umm... but...

Your name...?

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

Lukaku, scores a goal every 104 minutes in the most competitive league in the world. He is ready.

We will almost definitely offload Torres this summer (crossing fingers), and will need a replacement. Ba doesn't exactly have perfect knees, and will need plenty of rest. I don't foresee a problem with playing time.

Pressure? He has been in the spotlight since age 16, and seems to have good head on his shoulders, I don't see it becoming an issue.

Hm good to play in top club, but not ready yet for Chelsea. Board logic...

How can you say he is not ready yet? He is scoring on a regular basis for WBA. IMO he would shine here next season. We can't say he is not ready for us when he is doing better than both our current strikers and is going to be a year older next season. We would be stupid not to give him a chance. I think he will shine next season, especially training and playing with better players.

Dude I think he is ready to play for us, but Board will probably fuck up...

Also, if we buy another striker in the summer, do you guys really want Lukaku to come in as the 4th striker for us?

No, most people that want Lukaku to come back next season want him to be our main striker, basically sharing minutes with Demba Ba and a third choice striker. The general consensus is that if Lukaku is to be our main man next season then Torres has to go. If we sign another big striker it's only natural that Lukaku goes on loan because as you rightly said, it'll hamper his development otherwise.

We need to bring Lukaku back and then bring another striker then we'll be good for the next season. Demba Ba and Romelu can rotate like Didier did with guddy back in 04-05 then give Romelu as much support as possible like we did with Didier and I'm telling you he'll be an absolute monster. He's learning quickly and he's improving all the time let's not do another Sturridge please and lets actually give this guy all the support he need's. I don't want another club like Liverpool getting the fruits of our labour we need to learn from the sturridge mistake.

The only question remains...who will be the other striker at Chelsea next season?

Torres is bound to still be here next season so we'll have Lukaku, Torres and Ba. If we break the bank for a genius striker like Falcao and get rid of Torres then great but I do believe Lukaku is ready. He's scored at a good rate in the premier league including a goal at Anfield. If he can score in the prem for WBA, why not for us? Makes no sense. He's not the finished article but he's a beast and will be for us. We spent a lot on this kid, he will make it.
