Romelu Lukaku

No Lukaku today for West Brom as he starts on the bench. Shane Long takes his place upfront for the Baggies.

Damn i was counting on seeing him start. Guess ill watch the game anyway and hope he gets playtime.

He came on and played the last 20 mins. How did he do?

[edetarod 2,155]

not bad, he had 2 chances, almost scored with one(ball hit the post)

[Las7 951]

He was a handful but didn't get the ball enough - sadly for Brom they had injury troubles so they couldn't really bring on a fresher midfielder so mostly when Lukaku got the ball he was isolated, with no one to lay it off to.

West Brom fan (I think) writing on a blog, basically saying Lukaku is doing pretty well so far:

This is taking the p*** from a Chelsea fan's/Lukaku's point of view. West Brom get a talented player on loan from the "Champions of Europe"... yes. Odemwingie is banned for 3 games, in his absence Lukaku bags the winner at home against Reading then is subbed for the game against Aston Villa and also today, WTF? Annoys me to bits, I would prefer he comes back to us in January and add amongst to the firepower we have already, thinking that we can do with another striker.

I think its better for Lukaku to stay there... more match experience for him compared to staying with us.

Lukaku has several attributes to improve on.. his first touch, positioning and 1-on-1 situations...

It is just a matter of time when we regret this loan deal.Torres can't start all the time and Sturridge is still injured.We left ourselfs with only one recognized CF,Lukaku would have a lot more playing time than last season if he stayed with Didier leaving.This move was perhaps the only one our board made that was bad since this summer was pure class in the department on signings.

We can recall him in Jan if need be. Clarky will work w/ us. Remember he is CFC too.

I wasn't aware that option was available.I thought it was a year long loan.

Dan Levine even said this on Chelsea Football Fancast. People there is always an option to negotiate.

[Hamilton 2,118]

Indeed he has a recall option.. But don't think we will use it, Falcao it is for january

Actually we can recall him anytime we want and pay a fee.

Good to hear,its not like we won't afford the fee though.

[zolayes 14,489]

the loan is working well ,,he is getting play time . If we need him back we can get him , It is worthwhile to make loans with managers we can trust.

I would say Clarkie Zola Coyle not sure about continental managers ,,,Im sure people on here know who.

[Stingray 9,441]

We'll see in January

Hmm, spend around £2m (estimate) to bring Lukaku, a decent striker, if we're in a striker crisis back, or splash £45m+ on Falcao and disregard the fact we still have Torres, Sturridge and Lukaku waiting in the wings, let me guess what the wisest choice is?
