Rmpr 8,977 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I will give my 2 cents...I know what the guy meant and I partially agree with it, but it did sound racist. However, it seems pretty clear he wanst being racist, so I think there is no need to make a fuss about it.What I do want is to loan Lukaku for one more season. I believe he wont receive so many chances (whether by Torres staying or buying a new striker), so I dont want Romelu playing some random cup games. The dude is good and still very, very young. One more season with West Brom (or another mid-table EPL team) would only benefit him, not counting the fact he will return with a bigger reputation to back him up!

Santiago. 1,500 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I don't think we should if we sell Torres than buy Falcao/Cavani/Lewandowski/Jovetic + Ba+ LukakuThree forwards with Rotation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I am confident that he will go on loan again next season, as he should. He's still 19 and has a lot to improve on, he won't nearly enough game time here to do so. Rmpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atholy 1,293 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Interesting interview with his former coach in Belgian media:Ariel Jacobs (currently coaching FC Copenhagen) was the guy who gave Lukaku a chance in Anderlecht's first team at the age 16!Romelu had a really good contact with his coach... he was often seen as his 2nd father (the two even participated in one of Belgium's most popular television quizzes together). The two still have weekly contact. This is what the interview says:You brought Romelu in Anderlechts first team at age 16. After a slow start at chelsea, he seems to be off for a great season at West Brom. Did you expect this?"Romelu had me involved in his choice for Chelsea, I can imagine how difficult it must have been at the age of eighteen to make a choice like that. For me it was evendifficult to assess the situation. So the only advice I could give him was that it was possible best for him, not to give any advice. Romelu had one big problem... Chelsea is the club of his heart. So he actually had only one final destination in his mind.... eventhough he knew very well it would be very difficult to get some playing time in the 1st team. His heart hasmade it on his speech.”"He did well to choose a league table, where he can play and develop. It will have been difficult for him to, although temporarily, say goodbye to Chelsea. Two weeksago he told me, we are sending messages frequently, that he hoped that Chelsea would loan him out another year at West Brom. He notices himself how good this is for his development. It is also very important that he has a very good contact with the West Brom coach."He also had a good contact with Di Matteo when he trained him in the reserves of Chelsea. When Di Matteo took over the 1st team, Lukaku was hoping for more opportunities, but that did not happen."To be fair, I must admit that I had warned him for this. Lukaku knew that Villas-Boas had the short term strategy, so he knew he shouldn’t get his hopes too high toget playing time. He did told me he had a great connection with Di Matteo. I warned him that it is a completely different story to work with the players as an assistant than as a head coach. A coach should give priority to results, an assistant should give priority to the developpement of younger players at the reserves. Of course an assistant encourages the players a lot more that the head coach. But as soon as he becomes the head coach, he needs to make a lot more decisions for a lot more players. It turned out to be so. "Have you already discovered a new Lukaku in Copenhagen?"I have a player under my care who, like Lukaku in his time, was not a part of the squad in the beginning of the season. It is Andreas Cornelius. I've seen him play during one of the first exhibition games. The technical director told me that it was one of three young players who could occasionally agree train with the first team. I liked him immediately and I gave him a chance. Now he is the top scorer in the Super League. " The only place to be, Hamilton, Styles and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 He has been brilliant for WBA this season. That goal against Liverpool was superb, the shift of the ball and then pace to get away was quality.Keep it up big man, see you next season.

Keikoismad 162 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm happy for Romelu: a difficult season at Chelsea, a lot of fans complained about him without giving him a proper chance, and on top of that they all forgot that he's only a teenager.Then, he goes to West Brom, and here we are in february:10 premier league goals, youngest not - British man to ever score 10 goals in the premier league, player of the month for West Bromwich, only the third west Bromwich player to ever score 10 league goals in 1 season Santiago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christacinto 137 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Newsflash: According to a list published by Give me football Lukaku is one of the most talented upcoming strikersin Europe.
