Tomo 21,751 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 What competition...Torres did well at the weekend. Probably the best i have seen him play in a year, or at least one of his top 3 performances in the last year. That is saying something.He is young and does have a lot of potential. But crucially he is already better than Torres, Eto, and Ba.If we had bought cavani or lewy etc then i understand it, but loaning our best striker for game time makes no sense. Now we can't loan Torres because we would look like fools after buying him for all that money so we persist with him, and loan out the youngster.I was referring to when you said if we buy a striker in January. If Lukaku see's that as an excuse to hand in a transfer request then quite frankly, he has the wrong mentality.The difference between Lukaku and our other forwards is that the others are on their last legs, they are past their best, while Lukaku needs to be carefully nurtured, their was a choice to loan him to a top 6/7 side were he will play every single game, or stay with us where he will get his fair share of play but is it fair to ask a 20 year old to come from rotating with Shane Long at West Brom to being the main forward at a club looking to win the lot?Being numero uno at Everton will prepare him a lot more for the pressure of being the same here, if he gets loaned out again next season i will jump onto your side off the fence, but Everton was a fantastic loan and i don't believe we were planning on loaning him out until Martinez came along.

Neira 19 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 The missed penalty may have something to do with it. But can you blame Rom for prefering to play every match, instead of ten minutes every 3 games with Chelsea? If he is to come back and stay, he's not gonna take the risk to be 3rd or 4th choice again. 1st or 2nd, period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he is not considered to be the no.1 which is what i disagree with. As i would rather him playing for everton than sit on our bench. Its just the thought process to deem the other players to be above him in the pecking order.I think as a player, you have a great loan spell at west brom, was our best striker in pre season. Is (assuming here), gonna have another great loan spell at everton, yet thats still not good enough. I am just saying that as a player, being the no.1 and guarenteed to be the main man is very tempting and clubs would be lining up for him. I wouldn't blame him. I think next season its time to put some faith in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Ankit 3,176 Posted September 30, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted September 30, 2013 Instead of reveling in our player's scoring prowess, people are moire concerned about letting him go. Very nice!! Why is it so hard to get it in your head that he is gone on loan to a club where he will play every god damn week and there is no amount of moaning/crying/blaming that's gonna bring him back. Enjoy the moment that our player is scoring and terrorizing defenses and stop looking at your crystal ball. We will know about his future next year, until then be glad for YOUR player. kellzfresh, nachikethas, Tomo and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Sheva. 5,373 Posted September 30, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted September 30, 2013 I didn't see the first goal, but can you see him scoring a goal like the 3rd for Chelsea? Most teams will have 9 defenders back at all times, it's why he was sent on loan to a team like Everton - even when West Brom wanted him back - so he can improve his holdup play and not just rely on his pace on the counter.

United won't, City won't, Arsenal won't, Tottenham won't, not even Liverpool will. Taking it abroad Barca, Real, Leti, Dortmund, Munich, Juve, PSG and Monaco won't either.If he goes somewhere were he is guaranteed numero uno permanently, then Everton is probably as good as it will get for him. He looks like he has genuine ambition's to make it at the top and he will keep going and working hard until he does, just like Lampard did, i have no doubt he will be a great striker for us in the future.

Hopefully he's future will be with us not elsewhere thats what worried about.Another on loan...on loan...then gone as there is little chance he will start a game with us or be involved in plans.Doubt it seeing as how he is performing at Everton but who knows with this club.Confidence is key and he's definlty getting that to at the moment Ankit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even do anymore, but I had to show you some support. I know he had too few chances with us in official matches before the loan, but not once you saw him doing an assist like he did today or defenses were so sloppy against us when he was on.People fail to understand that in PS he was really good against bad defenses and weak sides in Asia. When the level raised he disappeared, the same when he took part on official matches.I do agree that he hasn't had enough chances, but he did show some difficulty to play against deep defenses and against good defenders... but let's ignore the context.I'm very happy for the kid, he deserves it. I do hope he's more challenged at Everton than he was at WBA because he needs to be challenged otherwise we'll see a repeat next season for us. He didn't play very well in the 3 Belgium NT matches I've watched this season (including the one he started) again stopping on decent (it wasn't even that good) defenses. But you know... perspective isn't taken into account. Sheva., zolayes and Tomo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference playing for Chelsea and Everton. Massive difference!! It's not that simple to make jump from West Brom level to Chelsea level within a season. He is young, and club like Everton provides the perfect opportunity for him to launch himself and get closer to Chelsea. If he continues scoring and playing so well for Everton, i am sure we will have him playing for us next season. Playing at West Brom doesn't cut it!! Playing and performing at Everton might just!!

err 19 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 alongside the goals / assist he offers solutions to his teammates. Link up play has been brilliant at times. When you see colocinis and co face you know the impact lukaku has on the defense. and yet he did no make a lot of runs behind them ! With the confidence growing he is gonna shine this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
