Romelu Lukaku

[Kostas 1,468]

It's no secret that he was overweight. Not only he was getting so big he didn't resemble a footballer but from what I've seen Lukaku didn't know how to fully take advantage of his mass. Afaik the club stopped weight training as soon as he arrived. Luckily he's still young so his individual training most probably comprises of footwork rather than gym.

Yes looks very different.

But I always thought his power an his body are his best atributes???

The Blackburn made me think of playing him more next season. Such as this years rotation between Torres and Drogba. Of course some more time for Fernando, but this guy has to play!

[Hamilton 2,118]

I hope he shines on the USA tour, he looked very good against Blackburn, way better then in his first months..

Torres with Mata in the hole is first choice. Lukaku with Sturridge as second striker should be 2nd choice. We get to keep the same formation and everyone plays in their best positions.

Torres (Lukaku)

LW (Hazard, Ramires) - Mata (Sturridge) - RW (Marin, Hulk)

He need to be sent on loan! he wouldn't get that much needed experience as expected from him in Chelsea because of the size of our squad. and IMO the best place for him is spain or italy!

Interesting that he previous manager has said that the reason Lukaku wasn't getting much game time was because Chelsea were reconditioning his body. Apparently he was too muscular at Anderlecht. Saw a pic of him on twitter and he really has lost a lot of mass. Hopefully we should see him in action a lot more next season.

Certainly has slimmed down, anyone know his current weight now compared to when he started?

He was having too much body fat. Drogba is strong and isn't so big.

You can drop some weight and still maintain your power.

I read somewhere he was the heaviest PL footballer at the start of the season, don't know how legit it was but he looked really big when he first signed.

Think I saw that in one of the FFT magazine. Can't remember which month it was.

_{Just read that he has something to prove in pre-season however several times this season the Chelsea staff have had to almost carry him out of nightclubs at the early hours of the morning.}

_{Hope he gets his head down and makes a real go of his career here, certainly has the physical attributes to do so.}

[We Hate Scouse 10,260]

Carry him out of nightclubs? I find that very hard to believe he seems a very mature and sensible person.

[Manuf 1,448]

Lol, could it be that he didn't play because our dear striker is not only a monster of a human but also a huge party beast? Still waters run deep

[Badboy 1,526]

He's amazingly made it into the Belgium Euro 2012 provisional squad.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Special treatment.

Belgium did not qualify to the euros...

[Blue Traveler 256]

He is just 19 can't expect him to fulfill the requirments in EPL in near future. Just too raw!

I find that hard to believe.
