Romelu Lukaku

I think he will start against pompey! I let's hope for a few goals from the fella!

[Nic! 301]

He can't, so that would be a false rumour. His situation will be evaluated at the end of the season. Then he might go on loan, but more likely to an English team.

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

Would he not be able to be loaned out now as it's a new transfer window meaning clubs can register new players?

Both that one and belgiumsoccer.be ! Both are bringing the same article without checking sources!

[Hamilton 2,120]

Now, to clear things, does that rule count for a football season or for a calender year ??

My question exactly.

[Atholy 1,293]

Since we're dealing with football matters, I think/hope UEFA rules in terms of football seasons... And not holiday seasons ! So Romelu will still be playing at the Bridge in the next months!

Anyways, Lukaku should never to Marseille if he would to be loaned out. Another team in the EPL would be by far the best option!

III. REGISTRATION OF PLAYERS

Article 5 Registration

1. A player must be registered at an association to play for a club

as either a professional or an amateur in accordance with the

provisions of article

2. Only registered players are eligible to

participate in organised football. By the act of registering, a

player agrees to abide by the statutes and regulations of FIFA, the

confederations and the associations.

2. A player may only be registered with one club at a time.

3. Players may be registered with a maximum of three clubs during

one season. During this period, the player is only eligible to play

offi cial matches for two clubs. As an exception to this rule, a player

moving between two clubs belonging to associations with overlapping

seasons (i.e. start of the season in summer/autumn as opposed to

winter/spring) may be eligible to play in offi cial matches for a third

club during the relevant season, provided he has fully complied with

his contractual obligations towards his previous clubs. Equally, the

provisions relating to the registration periods (article 6) as well as to the

minimum length of a contract (article 18 paragraph 2) must be respected.

4. Under all circumstances, due consideration must be given to the

sporting integrity of the competition. In particular, a player may not

play offi cial matches for more than two clubs competing in the same

national championship or cup during the same season, subject to

stricter individual competition regulations of member associations.

Okay, that's very clear. He can't go until the end of the season.

ChelseaTV is speaking with Romelu Lukaku tonight. If someone catches it, please feel free to share.

Some highlights from the article:

It's a really big month, January. For me it starts from Sunday and to put in a good performance and be helpful for the team would be great, to score a goal would be good for my confidence, but I just want to get a spot in the team and continue enjoying it,'

'The first few months here have been about learning English football and learning the Chelsea way, so I have played also with the reserves and done analysis with the manager and staff to improve my game. It's gone very well, I had some good games, some lesser ones but in the last five games for the reserves I scored five goals.'

'Now I am feeling very well and in the new year it is a new start and I want to earn a spot in the team.'

[Badboy 1,526]

When he gets his first goal i think that will trigger an avalanche of goals hopefully.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

He has a brilliant mentality. An old head on young shoulders!

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Every time I hear/read an interview with this guy I come to love him more.

[ja1 1,166]

Should have started vs Portsmouth

[BlueLion. 21,491]

AVB can go and fuck himself over his youth 'policy', which seems to be 'ensure they become stagnant'.

[manpe 10,861]

You know something bad is in the air when BL loses his temper, and me for that matter (I vented my anger in the Bertrand thread)... but that is the case, sadly.

[Manuf 1,448]

Even Carlo gave more time to the youngsters. If I were sitting on the bench on that Wolves game, I would have tried to escape from London as fast as I could. FFS majority of our "youngsters" are in their twenties now, when are they supposed to start their career. What a waste of time and money our youth system is.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

This team believes that we have to be on a good rilun of form in order to play youth, my oh my look at all the other managers, during the start if the season they play youth!! But nooooo let's play the same starting 11 for all competitions except the league cup which we always find a way to lose in! Not everybody will shine like Studge in loan, some people, (ready for this) need to have a feel for the players they're surrounded with, idk maybe a cm would need this, or better yet Torres has shown this and he had a freakin year with the squad!! while our loanees are told to bond with 3 different teams in 3years!!
