Romelu Lukaku

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

Which striker can you name that can be consistent next year? Cavano, Falcao without Epl experience .... They will show inconsistency too.

Inconsistency will happen inevitably. The real question is how we - as a team - can put a 'whole' together that copes with that.

Lukaku could be very much a part of it. We will have to see what José thinks :-)

mhmm... good point, I also remember RvP having a barren spell this season. But I do not see any of our strikers, Including Lukaku being able to cope with the pressure esp in the CL, whilst Cavani etc will have no problem with well known European territory.

Hmm, does it neccesairly mean that he wont go back (to WBA) ?

Arrogancy at its best!

lol ok, do you want to tell me why you think he's a bad dribbler? I can understand if we're discussing a player's overall quality but dribbling is probably the easiest thing to judge with a player so the argument over opinions almost never enters the discussion when talking about dribbling

that's like saying Lukaku isn't fast, that's not a different opinion, that's just wrong

i don't mean to put you down, but i just couldn't understand why one would say he is a bad dribbler, hence why i said you may not have seen much of him because he's impressed with his dribbling time and time again

So many people on here who judge solely MOTD highlights and hype rather than actually analyzing the player.

These are the same posters who'll turn on the player when he doesn't live up to expectations.

Lukaku is the best player ever obviously. No weaknesses and has nothing to learn.

I don't think anyone (or at least most people) are saying that. I think we all know he is still very rough and far from a finished product. He definitely has a lot to work on, but I think a lot of what he has to improve on is coachable (while his athleticism one can only be born with) But 17 goals speaks for itself a lot, especially in as few minutes as he's done it. If he improves half as much next season as he did this season, I think he'd be fine to lead the Chelsea attack.

That said, there is a lot of risk choosing him to be our main striker, and I'm honestly very much less than sure that he could handle UCL football at the highest level.

I think we all understand it would be a huge risk to make him our main striker, but a lot think it would be worth it, and a lot think it wouldn't, but I can certainly see both sides.

I actually think he's poor at heading, don't agree with WhoScored there.

So wait, you're lambasting people for getting excited about the potential Lukaku is showing? Who in here is saying he's the perfect player? You're being too bitter about it. No one's saying that Lukaku doesn't have his weaknesses (or that he still has quite a far way to fulfil his potential) but there's nothing wrong about getting excited over a 20 year old who's scored 17 goals in his first proper season in the PL.

I don't understand the cynicism in here sometimes. Are we now not allowed to praise our players who are obviously showing some frightening potential? Even United, City, Arsenal, Tottenham fans etc. are excited over his potential. Are you going to go shoot them down too?

Yeah right. Or maybe some of us here have followed him before you even heard about him- since his debut at Anderlecht and saw a shitload of entire games with him right untill now - including the NT. Maybe we just don't share views but that doesn't mean we don't analyse, that we believe hype and that you are automatically right, does it?

Please, look some pages back on here for our posts. Also, don't make a strawman argument. Nobody here says he is the best ever.

no one is saying that crap. the only thing people are saying is that he is a much better option than torres. also lukaku is a chelsea player. what is the point of loaning out a player who can score a hat-trick against man united or score 17 league goals in less than half the minutes required by our current striker. plus we have all already seen what magic mou created with another BIG-HULKING striker the first time around, so we just wanna see an encore.
