Romelu Lukaku

[iseah100 5,612]

he scored 20, 12, 18 and 9 for the past 4 years. Do a quick Google search

This is true. If only he could get playing time:/

In terms of poor technical ability and giving away possession , he's just as frustrating as they come however his positive outweighs his negative and there's room for him in the squad if he's willing to play second fiddle. We should accept him for what he is as he's never going to be a suarez for e.g. I blame those that scouted him and felt he's a right fit for the type of team we are building and also failed to take into account that the way 80 percent of teams we face set up against us renders Lukaku's attribute useless.

If people are expecting his technical ability to improve past this point and turn into zlatan they might as well believe in santa claus and tooth fairy.

He kinda does reminds me of Heskey though.

Is that meant to be a good or bad thing?

Kinda bad. Heskey also promised a lot but his first touches was always horrible.

They guy ain't good enough yet to be with us, and for second striker is okay but he needs more games to get better.

Thus is better to try to secure a loan to atlético. If he stays there for 2 years he might come back as a complete striker.

I would really not want to loan him out again. I think we should convince him to be the second striker and with a fair chance to win his place in the starting 11

I blame those that scouted him

Buying a player for £12 million who is now worth about double that.

Sack them! Sack them all!

I'm not starting this whole discussion again, but if he'd been given a real chance he'd not be talking shit.

Also Everton and West Brom have a place for him? That's strange. I thought the names that were mentioned were Atletico & Juventus to name just a few. Don't lie just to make yourself feel better.

He also asked for a loan because Ba and goddamn Torres got starts before he got one.

Funny you mention Ba he scored a high number of goals for the 5th best team in the league in 2012, just like Lukaku in 2014.

When his goals at Everton get used as evidence he will succeed here I cringe, as that logic didn't work for Ba.

Ba was more worthwhile than Torres this year, scoring about a goal every three matches (since a lot of them were only a couple of minutes long coming of the bench that's not bad). Torres on the other hand scored a goal about every four matches. Most of these matches were longer than Ba's.

Yet Torres keeps on playing. Familiar?

These pages would be on the 368 mark had Lukaku been playing in Costa's position tonight but surprise, surprise the excuses for Costa are that he has recieved no support. BTW that is true but it is funny that when it is Lukaku it is that it is his fault. Some people just wait to pounce and slate you unfortunately because they have made their mind up.

The bar is set lower for Costa because he isn't the self-proclaimed 'complete striker' who is too good to be on our bench.

As it is Costa is actually getting criticised in his thread. Truth is both players are being let down a bit by those around them, although Costa is getting in good positions and just laid it on a plate for Busquets.

The bar should be set higher for him because he is reported to be joining us for 32 million and is older. Costa imo has had 2 awful games. You are not one of them but it annoys me when people set one type of standards for one player and different for another. The slate he was getting here was way overboard yesterday. He was poor but the creativity from the midfield was poor while Lukaku was playing.

Yes we all know Torres is shit but that doesn't change the fact Lulus goals at Everton doesn't automatically mean he will succeed here.

While on the flip side the special treatment he is receiving is borderline KDB if not Torres level.

He is a good young player but still along way from being number one here. That isn't picking on him its just how I see it.

There is no 100% guarantee with any player
