This is about Lukaku not Torres, everything that needs to be said about Torres has been said.I'm not going to praise Lukaku for almost scoring.

zolayes 14,489 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I'm very satisfied with Lukakus progress . He is getting valuable playing time. Patience is needed .I am much more optimistic that he will be ready to play for us soon didierforever and Reddish-Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about Lukaku not Torres, everything that needs to be said about Torres has been said.I'm not going to praise Lukaku for almost scoring.Well, at least Lukaku had the confidence to take the shots, particularly the overhead kick. He's doing well as a 19 yr old at West Brom.Torres doesn't even want to shoot on goal, he likes crossing or passing the ball nowadays.

There is no need to compare the two at every oppurtunity.It seems discussions always evolve to accomodate Torres. Everything is always Torres this Torres that; I'm sick of it. A person will praise Sturridge by criticising Torres, they can't just praise Sturridge for playing well they find it necessary to criticise Torres. For example: 'Sturridge played well today and scored a goal. Why can't Torres do this?'. It seems that Torres is mutually inclusive to everything. Sure it's always relevent to compare and criticise Torres when concerning other players but is it alwasys necessary? NO, NO, NO, it is not necessary.Anyway since Lukaku is playing at a different club right now wouldn't it make more sense to compare him to Shane Long or Peter Odemwingie? He is compteting against these two at West Brom in West Brom's footballing system. Wouldn't it make more sense to compare him to his actual competition? Torres and Lukaku are playing with different people in a different system so it's kind of hard to fairly compare the two, isn't it? Sure we can easily compare their abilities and attributes (speed, first touch, strength) but to compare the two on match performances is unfair for both players.

meetdoscar 335 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Spot on.But I still think torres is not good value for money but is better than sturridge and lukaku bcoz he is a striker that plays also for his team and is scoring @d moment.

Jack Uzzi 54 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 2 shots on target in few time. Could have been match winner after what I think was a very good substitute performance. Pity his header was straight at Hart but comforting to see it was very well executed - he may be improving on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atholy 1,293 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Think of it this way: A 19year old Chelsea kid almost became the gamewinner against the current EPL Champions! This with only 10 minutes of playing time! in this 10 minutes he managed to create 3(or 4 if you consider that low cross) good scoring opportunities. He was just not fortunate enough that none of his chances pulled off!Don't worry too much about that header. Lukaku is able to score headers without doubt (remember his goal against Liverpool & plenty of goals at Anderlecht). Does he need to return to Chelsea in winter? Well clearly he needs to play! So I wouldn't want him on the chelsea bench. OK one of his biggest advantages is that you can send him on as a supersub in minute 75th because he can have a huge impact on games pushing the defense to it's limits in the last minutes of the game.But like the rest of you guys here... I barely see Nando getting substituted in the last 1,5 season (even Moses isn't really getting chances). So if RDM is not planning to change our CF more often at the end of the games ... I don't think a return of Lukaku to Chelsea before summer is a good idea! zolayes and Stingray 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 He did, however, intimate that the club may recall Romelu Lukaku in January, given his form for West Brom and the fact Chelsea only have two central strikers in Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge."There's an option in January for us. It's a one-year loan but we have a clause. He's had a good impact."http://soccernet.esp...it-talk?cc=5901 OneMoSalah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdog 2,084 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 http://soccernet.esp...it-talk?cc=5901I have been telling you fools that Lukaku could come back in January. I wouldn't mind him back w/ the Blues, especially during the silly period w/ all of those matches to be played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
