Romelu Lukaku

Lukaku set to STAY at Chelsea as Mourinho assures young striker he will get his chance

'I always said my ambition was to play for Chelsea, and now I will go back to Stamford Bridge and try and play even more games than I did at West Brom,' he said, after Belgium's 2-1 win over Serbia last night. 'If I can score a few early on, it can turn into a really good season for me.

'I have had a good conversation with Jose Mourinho, and I know it's up to me to show I'm worth a place. It is the World Cup next year, and I need to be playing. But if I don't get in the Chelsea team often enough, then I won't deserve to be in the national squad.

'I am not afraid of that. I am determined to succeed with Chelsea next season. I want to prove myself. People will compare me with Didier Drogba, and he was always my hero. But I am my own man, and I want to be known for what I do.'

ok it's officially in all belgian media as well! YES!!!

Also love his quote: "I'm sure I can play as many games as at West Brom + if I don't manage to succeed at the Bridge this season, I got to be honest and admit I don't deserve to go to the WC in Brazil!"

Love his ambition and I'm sure he will succeed!

If we get Cavani and fail to offload Torres I can't see him being given a chance to play next season. It is unlikely that we'll get rid of bad after just half a season as well... We'll just have to wait and see.

if you speak Dutch, he's basicaly saying he's staying at Chelsea in this video

Absolutely delighted that he's going to be around and he's certainly deserved it. Would love him to see the signing of Cavani (or whoever) as a challenge and for him to come in and absolutely dominate that position because I love everything about this guy, but the fact that he's one of us just makes me want to see him succeed.

He made 38 appearances last year for West Brom (wiki) and I see no reason why he can't make close to that number or more again, with League Cup, FA Cup and CL starts.

thanks, hopefully he will be here! Loving the look of the Belgium team by the way, I am finding myself watching their matches and looking out for their upcoming games because of how many Chelsea players there are!

It's a bandwagon I'm seriously thinking of jumping on. :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Always loved Belgium and Bruges is a lovely place to unwind and rest, and I was watching the match thinking about picking up one of their shirts. The amount of quality in that team at this moment in time is astounding and the fans seem to be genuinely enjoying it.

Me too, definitely cheering for them next year at the WC. My own Finnish national team has never even qualified so I always have to jump on someone's bandwagon for the major international tournaments and for years now my second favorite at international level has been Belgium. Too bad they haven't been any good either but things are about to change and I can honestly see them reaching at least the semis next year!

If we keep this up, the amount of belgian supports will triple :-)
