Romelu Lukaku

[themightyblue 443]

This would be a top loan imo

[Hkibou 622]

That wouldn't be bad for him to go on loan, for Chelsea too. The main opportunities will be this summer : many of the worldclass strikers of tomorrow are said to leave (Cavani, Falcao, Lewandowski, Suarez, Neymar...)

I personally think that Lewandowski would fit right in the type of play i would go for in the coach's shoes. I'd like to seem him linking with Mata and Hazard.
Also, he's young (24), Champion's League proven, and cheaper than the four others as his contract is expiring.

And i can't see why he would go to Bayern (win 5 - 0 all the time and betray your dortmund fans, yay...) or Man U. You'd rather compete with RVP or Ba for the first spot ?

Lewy is the most realistic buy simply due to his price. I would be happy with his purchase, but that means Lukaku must go out on loan for another year. It's up the our new manager - if he wants a new striker at a realistic price, Lewandowski is definitely top of the list. We'll obviously need to ship out Torres as well though for any sort of move to happen.

That's also a good selling argument if we want to compete against other top clubs, knowing they can't possibly do worse than their predecessor. No pressure, man...

Nice...

Loan move to Swansea would see him score more goals and hopefully prepare him in 2014 for a role on Chelsea.

[Leif 6,006]

yes yes yes Swansea please. they play the closest sort of football to what Roman wants us to play I believe, so Lukaku would benefit from trying out their system.

[Kezza 1,965]

Stoked with the Swansea move if it happens

So if he were to go on loan to Stoke, would you be... Swansead?

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Dont think he will be played over michu anytime soon.

[RedWhite&BLUE 37]

Makes sense for both sides. He plays in a top system which plays similarly (passing, movement) to our own. Also, he likely gets to be the first choice striker which will get him on top of his game ahead of the World Cup.

That's what being first choice is about, I reckon. WC starting spot.

He wouldn't be playing over Michu...

The whole point of Swansea bringing in Lukaku is so that Michu can play in his favoured 'second striker' role just behind Lukaku.

And Lukaku is a big upgrade at CF...compared to Swansea's current strikers: Luke Moore and some Itay Shechter

[OneMoSalah 8,885]

Swansea mainly have Luke Moore and Itay Shechter as their two 2 STs though they are not hugely favored by Laudrup. That is why Michu plays upfront most of the time for them.

Shechters on loan I think. So Lukaku going there would be great tbh.

[The only place to be 11,313]

So who does that leave us with up front next season? Torres, Ba and Schurrle or are we actually going to go for Falcao?

We could play the guy who has scored 13 goals in his first proper season in the league, who supports the club and shows the right attitude, but we've got to think about our priorities.

Who will sell most t-shirts in China?

[bushman 2,043]

It´s very simple.

If Chelsea do not buy any striker, Lukaku should be coming home.

If the club buys let´s say Andre, Falcao even Hulk was mentioned recently, then Lukaku should be loaned out.

[Stats 7,142]

I would like him to be with Chelsea next season but knowing us, we probably will loan him out again. Anyway, if rumours of Swansea are true I would be happy as they are in Europe next season and I believe he can create a good partnership with Michu. That being said, if we are to loan him out I believe he can aim higher and aim for Champions League footy next season. I believe he is only going to get better and better. Say Real Sociedad qualify or even one of the leading Bundesliag clubs, I believe he can join. Just thinking if Lew leaves this summer, would they take a gamble on Lukaku. Just a thought.
