Romelu Lukaku

[Weckerz 3,781]

Lower your pitchforks and torches lads,

until the next dodgy article at least

[bababoom 4,478]

What the fuck is wrong with the English press? i hope he never said it tbh, he would be a perfect second striker, who knows he might out perform Costa. If he did say it than he can go, we don't need anyone like that at our club.

[zolayes 14,489]

You cant really defend him after coming out with that, i'm sorry but he's not even willing to try and fight for his place, he wants it handed to him! This is Chelsea mate not fucking Everton... Drogba had to fight for his place, Lampard did (especially when Roman just took over), Jt, Essien, Azpi, Cahil etc, what i don't get is THAT if he is our second striker he'll start plenty of games.. he's just getting too big for his boots i'm afraid.

Seriously? Demba fucking Ba and a past it Eto'o? "whoah" indeed. The thing that pisses me of the most is when he says "no problem many clubs are interested in me", i thought he 'loves' Chelsea? he can fuck off to one of those club for all i care tbh...

Also this quotes are real, The Telegraph and The Guardian are 100 percent reliable when it comes to quotes.

like to comment ???? but you were by no means the only one or the worst

The Guardian and Telegraph are usually spot on, you cant really blame anyone for believing it. On Lukaku i like him and want him to play for Chelsea, i was just disappointed by the comments, if they are fake than fair play, i hold my hands up because i did overreact.

That's exactly why I always put the badge first. Players come and go all the time, its the badge that endures...

If Lukaku really said that its no problem he's not exactly the most sought after striker in the World but will fetch a nice little kitty. I've always said and remain I only want those who want to be here fighting for the club... If Lukaku doesn't want to be challenged and wants to just be guaranteed a spot in the starting XI of a top 5 club in the world then by all means he can fuck right off to Wolfsburg with DeBruyne. I thought this kid had the passion for the badge, seems he's more about himself and doesn't want to test himself against the best...

Hope its not true but if it is... Oh well! See ya!

[LukakutoStamford 779]

Hehe, gotta love the media antyhing to misquote and/or misrepresent to sell more fish wraps. He's not saying anything that isn't obvious. He wants to focus and the Wc and then see where things are once the dust has settled.

[calculatingInfinity 1,443]

3 news sites reporting it. Could they be wrong? Yea but it's very unlikely.

Yeah it's not like fucking all of them wildly translated every Hazard quote during that summer, to whatever pleased them.

[Stats 7,053]

Read the interview and explain to me what context it was meant in. Because all I see is a child throwing his toys out of his pram because he isn't first choice.

#lukakuaid

So have you seen the actual interview now? Maybe you judged the situation too quickly. Now it looks like me and Zolayes was proven right. People trying to just cause unnecessary rifts. That is why I say wait until the real context of what he said comes out because I would never believed he would have said that.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Here we go, the actual translation of the quotes he made in an interview with a Belgian website (as translated by someone on Twitter):

"With Chelsea I saw a lot of good strikers come and go the last years, so we'll see what the future brings. I know a lot of clubs are interested in me, but first I want to play a good WC. If we do well there, everyone wins." That's it, no more.

He's basically just saying that he knows that his future at Chelsea is not guaranteed which is only realistic. Nothing about wanting to leave what so ever.

Fuck the daily fail. This is low, even for them!

I was waiting for confirmation on whether the earlier arrogant quote I saw before I rain down insults on the nerve to say "other clubs are interested in me"

Glad he's not that stupid. But seriously, Belgium players need to hire a public relations manager its as if every single thing a Belgium player says is translated to be offensive.

Ok so it seems we were too quick to run to Lukaku's defence even though the translations are quite different.

“Well, Chelsea buy players every summer don’t they? There has always been fierce competition for places at Chelsea and with Torres, Ba and now Costa, this year wont be any different.”

“On the other hand, there is an awful lot of interest in me from other clubs. If you want to believe that means 1+1 is 2, well yes, I guess you could be right. I consider myself to be a complete striker and Chelsea are fully aware of how I feel about the current situation.”

“What I want to do now is concentrate on playing well for Belgium in the World Cup, that is good for everybody! We’ll see after the World Cup what crosses my path.”

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Lol, Daily Fail all over again. You should went to their website just to look for a decent photos, ignore the text.

[Coop 114]

If u was him I would also go to an other club, he can't compete with Costa so let him go.

Maybe in 4 or 5 years we can buy him back.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

I know a couple of those goals were scored in the Belgian league, but goals are goals!

I honestly don't know what's happening behind closed doors anymore. We have the best young striker in the world and there's so much uncertainty about keeping him? This should be an absolute no brainer!

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

I don't know how real this is, but it speaks volumes. I honestly don't know what's happening behind closed doors anymore. We have the best young striker in the world and there's so much uncertainty about keeping him? This should be an absolute no brainer!

Same case with Courtois with his Clean Sheets ratio. We would be very stupid not to keep them both. And I believe Jose is not stupid. The only stumbling block are their ego.

[robsblubot 3,502]

he just can't help it...

talking about the game is for the "pundits" (aka paid fans) and regular fans like us. The actual paid professionals in football act with their wallets, or rather their employer's wallet.

The players should just play.

Any information on his agent? Seems like he's not very keen on Lukaku playing for Chelsea.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Same case with Courtois with his Clean Sheets ratio. We would be very stupid not to keep them both.

It's disgusting really. Sometimes I wonder if the people in charge care about the long term success of this team or their personal glory alone. It will be absolutely ridiculous if we start next season with a strike force of Costa, Torres and Ba.

We still don't know how Costa is going to perform in a new league with a completely different football philosophy. We KNOW Ba and Torres are shite and not good enough to wear the shirt. We won't win shit with those three. After what Torres, Ba and Eto'o put us through, I fully expect our board to get rid of two of them (preferably all three, but Torres is hard to move because of his wages). Eto'o is gone. Next should be Ba. Anything less than that and we're begging for a repeat of failure. UNLESS we go out and spend money on a Mandzuvic. But a Mandzuvic won't leave Bayern to be our second striker.

Every place in the squad should be earned, but we need to treat this with kid's gloves. There's absolutely no reason why Lukaku can't play 20+ games next season, even with Costa here. You don't win anything with just one striker! We have never won the league before with just one good striker.

Anyway, let's just hope our board are not this stupid. We look like we have Costa, Fabregas and Luis. Why piss in the Caviar by allowing this one to drag and drag. Mourinho, someone make a statement and say this boy is not for sale at ANY price. We clearly don't feel that way though, because if we did, Lukaku won't have said that.

[mediator 2,026]

Can't believe how people are that stupid over here.

Believe in Daily fail if you want, but don't spit in every thread btw.

Shame on you you are all overacting bitches

A wrong translation, and you are all crying like a 10 year child, grow a pair and shut up please
