Romelu Lukaku

[bababoom 4,478]

Owen, Rooney and Messi scored all their goals in major leagues, Lukaku scored a big portion of his goals in the Belgian league... come on now.

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

It wasn't just the daily mail, all the respectable papers were running with it as well, that rarely happens..

so, do you have a better translation? I'd certainly take any from the Belgium around here over the tabloids.

The problem is that Lukaku keeps on going - not like a one time thing.

BTW, I rather have Lukaku than Ba and Torres, but think his constant exposure with the media might not help that. Let me emphasize that: I'd rather keep Lukaku than Ba AND Torres! Andre can cover for the 3rd.

Well he said :

“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.”

If you won't provide an accurate translation then you can't be calling anyone "bitches". Provide an accurate translation.

a bit better but still a player (along his agent) who is fighting for a deal/pecking order.

Perhaps this is just about that: signing a better deal after all he only has 2 year left on his contract.

Here's the problem though: these players pay a lot of money to their agents so they don't have to antagonize the clubs, supporters, or coach, and yet all we hear is what lukaku wants or thinks. That's his agent's job.

Which is exactly what we're all responding too. Lukaku is your boy, we get that, but no need for petty insults to other forum members.

ANYWAY, the bolded part doesn't exactly inspire confidence. If our board want him, there's absolutely no way he says that. Hence the concern.

What amazes me is how eager people are to jump on one word from Lukaku while Torres' periodic passive aggressive statements and insults to the club still finds defenders. It blows my mind.

Because Torres is shit that's why, Lukaku is the best young striker in the world. Besides, I think that's so 2011-2012. Very few people defend that guy anymore.

Go through the reactions to the latest Torres comments

[didierforever 7,349]

what was wrong in what he said!!!!! at over-reaction...

[didierforever 7,349]

Owen, Rooney and Messi scored all their goals in major leagues, Lukaku scored a big portion of his goals in the Belgian league... come on now.

32 of his goals have come in PL in 74 appearances. a very good return for any striker. he is the 3rd highest goal scorer in PL in the last 2 seasons. or rather in terms of minutes, he has played 4766 minutes to score his 32 goals which is 149 minutes per goal (which includes his 10 appearances for chelsea too)

rooney's 44 goals in PL came in 132 appeareances.

2002-03 :1610

2003-04: 2442

2004-05: 2182

2005-06: 3072

an overall of 9306 minutes for 42 goals (since his last 2 goals may have come in 06-07 season where he turned 21) at an average of 221 minutes per goal.

the stat even for PL is as good as it gets for romelu.

for messi

2004-05 : 82 (1)

2005-06 : 909 (6)

2006-07 : 1995 (14)

2007-08 : 1998 (10)

2008-09: 2513 (23)

which means a total of 54 goals in 7497 minutes at an average of 139 minutes per goal which is better than lukaku's 149 minutes per goal but since the comparision is with the world's best player, we can probably give him that leeway.

lukaku has performed at every stage that he has been given. he has scored goals and played well whenever called upon. saying "most of his goals were in the belgian league" is a slap to his acheivement.

ENJOY!!!!

[iceman 329]

seems like a threat from his side

[Special Juan 27,422]

Just wait and see, media fabricated shit is my thinking.

If that's an accurate translation, he sounds like a bit of a bitch.

Even if that's slightly off, why is he talking yet again?? There are Kardashians who show greater restraint when a microphone is shoved in front of their face.

Yes Romelu, there will always be competition for spaces at this club. Yes we're going to buy players. But if you actually step up and impress Jose, you'll play. Ask Azpi.

Of course if that doesn't appeal to you then you can just ask for a transfer (again!) and go to a club like Everton where you'll start every week.

I'm hearing that all the rest quotes are fake.

LUKAKU - "I had trouble shitting yesterday, so i think i will leave CFC" (#sarcasticmail - for idiots who believe everything they read on the internet)

Hahahahahahah......not!

Even the real interview shows what kind of arrogant person he is. Just concentrate on the World Cup instead of constantly running your mouth off.
