Romelu Lukaku

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

Torres would be a more likely third striker than Lukaku in any case. He doesn't give two shits if he spends an entire season benched. In fact he'd be happier. No work!

[Fernando 6,453]

What would you guys do?

play after Costa and torres, or go to a club where you can play and become a better player at let's say Everton?

Please understand his reasons, the kid does not want to sit on the bench/Tribune hole the season, let him develop as a player, if that is not at Chelsea, then somewhere else.

Make a contract so you can buy him back for cheap money after 3 years when he is ready for the number 1 position.

The kid needs to play, I think you all agree.

I have seen the documentary and he adores Chelsea, but he wants to play!!

I would have him sign a new contract and loan him to Atlético for at least 2 years.

Maybe he can have a similar impact like courtois?

[bushman 2,043]

I doubt, Lukaku is willing to sign an extension to his contract. Most likely, he wants to run out his current deal & walk out of Chelsea.

Azpilicueta didn't get a single minute in those two games yet kept working and working and hey presto, ended up one of the best players in our season and will probably be starting for the defending world champions in the World Cup.

He's a talented young player but has a lot still to prove to even be considered as #1 here, yes i know he scored a lot of goals for the 5th best team in England, so did a certain Seneglese striker in 2012, now who's that again?

With the team's profile, especially with the youth of our AM's, Eto'o was a better option, look up the impact he made on Hazard and the link up play they shared, a 20 year old leading the line with 22 year olds behind him just simply wouldn't have worked.

I have hope for Lukaku and really don't want him sold, at the same time do i believe loaning him out cost us the title? no i don't and nothing will convince me otherwise.

So? But he did start a game later on. A proper chance in my opinion means actually starting a game. Against Hull for example, we had a 2-0 lead, and by the time he came on, nobody was playing.

The loan was a good move for him, got enough play time (more than he would've got had he stayed, look at Ba for example) to get called up for the World Cup. Every player should think of what's best for them...

Not sure if it's true, but I'll just put it here.

Lukaku : "I only know one thing and that is that, in my opinion, Chelsea are still the biggest club in England. And they have a very, very good manager! I have a contract with Chelsea after this summer and I am not focusing on any move to Atletico.”

and how do we know Lukaku wouldn't have? Azpi waited months and got his reward. He would have probably been rotating with Eto'o by Christmas.

Regarding the quotes, i haven't jumped on any of them, you can check my posting history.

Well Martinez said a similar thing himself: "As a number nine he is as complete as you are going to get in world football. Something which is a rare breed - to have such a talented footballer having that target man role".

[Xtraxion 100]

I think this WC could be his moment.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Yeah, also have a feeling Lukaku's going to have a really good WC.

[mediator 2,026]

[bababoom 4,478]

Belgium have a relativity easy group, hopefully Lukaku can get himself a few goals.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Send Torres to the reserves IF we cannot sell him and play costa lukaku and whoever is gonna be third.

[DROGBAtheGOAT 29]

I would be all for Costa, lukaku and Schurrle playing as a third striker, or midfielder for us.

"We would love to have him back and people at Chelsea are good friends of mine, so we are hopeful. But he's at the World Cup now and we will have to wait and see what happens at the World Cup."

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Cech

Azpi - Cahill - JT - Luis

Fabregas - Matic

Willian - Schurrle - Hazard

Lukaku

Oh, I forgot.."he's not ready".

Would love to see something like this, especially against lower teams.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

If he has great Wc and still gets sold, I will be pissed.

All these years of terrible strikers (bar drogba) and now we could have one realy good for next 10 years but if we wont give him the proper chance it would be realy idiotic.
