Romelu Lukaku

[ParNolio7 285]

He might be from Canada, but you're the one on thin ice here. That post is racist, abusive and offensive. I'll let you off with this verbal warning this time, but this is not at all tolerated on here.

Alright, I apologize. I don't think we'll agree on the definition of racism (nationality is not a race, and saying that canada is more an ice hockey country than a football country is a statistic fact, not a prejudgement), but no point in argueing about that.

I'll rephrase my words and just state that bushman, as an individual, not as a Canadian citizen or member of any sort of race (I don't know his race to be honest), knows absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing, about football if he considers Lukaku, who I valuate to be a great player due to work ethic, pace and strength, also as an individual, not as a Belgian citizen nor as a member of the african race, to be a technical player. He is perhaps the least technical player in the world. Fact.

Fair enough. That's your opinion.

About the definition of racism, we discussed it another thread. This post summarizes my view: http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/7709-the-pub-discuss-anything/?p=797587

I was referring to your authority argument saying: 'nobody saw Lukaku play more than I did'

I actually think this is true. In Belgium I support Anderlecht, and I think I've seen pretty much every first team game Lukaku played there (not in highlights but full matches), and then when he moved to Chelsea, the club I support in England, I think I followed him even closer if that was still possible. I also have a fan pass for the Belgian NT, so I've also seen the matches he played there.

So based on the above, I think I'm allowed to say that I've seen him play quite a bit. Sorry if I was cocky, but I don't think very highly of bushman's unfounded comments on Lukaku and reactions towards me.

Yup. What can you expect from such a tank anyways.

Unfair. RVP has a much better touch than him

maybe he should just skip to second touch right away, problem solved

Where was it that I posted Lukaku was a technical player ?

Someone who has seen Lukaku played numerous times & still do not see him as one fine player, claims Lukaku is not much, has no right to judge others!

Instead of moaning about lukaku's limited technical ability, the blame should go those who scouted and bought him in the first place for either not spotting or ignoring his defeciency as his first touch didn't suddenly deteriorated when he joined us which is quite ironic given the new philosophy of attacking and free flowing football that the club has openly shown commitment to.

Moreover a strikers job is to score goals which he does consistently so the argument against him here is redundant and lacks perspective

Lukaku has shown at WBA and now Everton what he can do on the counter, but for Chelsea he won't have many of those opportunities and needs to be better with his back towards goal.

Eto'o for example has a really sure touch and the ball sticks with him and he gets it to someone else, Lukaku previously will just lose possession.

He's shown an ability to find space in the box, score goals and bring others into the game. He's also a massive physical presence which we were completely lacking against West Brom.

Eto'o might not give up possession but he's still not that impressive (bear in mind I know his stats and I've also watched him play).

I can ask you the same question my man. Or do you think your opinion has higher value because you have more stars on this forum?

No I don't think my opinion has higher value, not sure why you'd say that. Just don't come on here claiming 'I know him better than you hurr', we've had our fair share of football messiahs.

Do we not speak the same English?

In every post about Lukaku so far I have explicitly stated that I think he's a massive player, due to his uncomparable work ethic, strength and pace. Just not his technique.

Do you actually read my posts before you react to them or just assume I will say what you expect me to say and comment on your own expectations?

[ParNolio7 285]

I just reacted to the great football connaisseur bushman who stated that I probably hadn't seen Lukaku play a lot.

I actually think that him assuming, prejudging if you will, that I haven't seen Lukaku play because he doesn't agree with my view on Lukaku, is far worse than me speaking truth about my own situation. Wouldn't you agree?

Funny thing is bushman and I actually agree on Lukaku but he doesn't want to see it: Lukaku is a great striker in spite of his somewhat lacking technique.

I see, now our expert on Lukaku twisted it all.

Let me just end this chat for good. Read on. Do not respond to me anymore.

Thank you for your patronage & good luck with others.
