Romelu Lukaku

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

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.

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.

We'll see in January

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

It's not just about the money. If you recall players from loan, teams might not be as interested in taking your players in the future. After all, it does put them in a bind. If they weren't using the player, you can just bring them back, but someone like Lukaku is important to WBA and bringing him back would hurt them. Obviously, if we get a major injury and have no choice it's one thing, but if you are just recalling people because you want some more depth, then you may find it difficult to work out loan arrangements in the future. Besides, he clearly still has things he needs to work on and WBA is a good situation for him to get some playing time and work on them.

Some of the West Brom fans getting annoyed at him apparently. Been told that some are calling him lazy, and another compared him to Ishmael Miller.

That might be a little too harsh. On their forums they do agree he had a bad game (after they were singing his praise last matches).

References such as 'headless chicken, gigling girl, unfocused when coming on' were present, where others didn't have any problem with the Long/Lukaku substitution ...

Romelu clearly still has a lot too learn - mentally and technically and hopefully he will, cause i never saw him as an player that realizes when he has to adapt/change. Also, back in his Anderlecht days, he had a lot more confidence than now. He seems the kind of player that thrives on successes and confidence to get his motivation level up where it should be.

After all that has been said. Let's keep in mind the boy is only 19 (born May 93) ...

Work for it Lukaku, Work!!

He is injured (ankle) and will not play for Belgium against Serbia and Scotland.

didnt any1 see lukaku's performance last night. pretty impressive for me. had 3 great chances. missed a cross once, a bloody awesome overhead kick, and another shot from 8 yards out which was cleard off the line. this guy deserves a chance from us.

My problem is that he three fantastic chances and failed to convert all of them.

Shane Long's goal with clinical.

And your point is? (kugh, Torres, kugh)

Just let him stay over there all season, just needs to play..

true but any other day he would have had atleast 2. the overhead kick was just brilliant . also his positioning n poaching seems to be awesome. the header that he put straight into hart's hand was the chance where he needs to improve as his heading seems to be not so convincing.
