A cool video about the season he's having for West Brom.

Btw: he is on the shortlist for young player of the year

ps: He starts at 04.00 pm against Newcastle. As our beloved Chelsea doesn't play today, why not watch him?

Just hit the crossbar.

[The only place to be 11,313]

Just set up West Brom's equaliser. Shielded the ball and laid it off for Jones to finish off.

Assist from Lukaku!

Even though he's settled at West Brom under a good manager and a fairly good team, I would still say that we loan him out to Swansea if the rumours are true. At West Brom they lump long balls to him or he's able to run in behind. At Chelsea neither of those will happen, especially the chance of running in behind as we play high possession so opponents naturally play deep against us, so his pace while important won't cover his mediocre hold-up play. A loan at Swansea will help him play in a high possession team with quick passes and link up play.

He's offside a lot. He was offside 4-5 times today. He has the most offsides in the PL.

More than Benteke???

@OptaJoe: 44 - Romelu Lukaku has been offside more frequently than any other player in the PL this season (every 44 mins on average). Flagged.

Apologies, it is most frequent offsides, not the most.

Watching Daniel play today makes me wonder about Lukaku...

If Sturridge wasn't able to get playing time on Chelsea, how in the world is Lukaku going to.......

As of right now, Daniel>Lukaku, however, even when we were playing with one forward (Torres and no Ba) he was unable to get much playing time....Next season, with Torres and Ba and maybe someone else, how in the world is Lukaku going to get playing time here...

Hazard and Oscar are still inconsistent

Hazard has prolly been the most consistent player of our whole squad...

[Mundaka 243]

And Lukaku should come back next year, if we let him play f1/2nd of the games (cup matches/ now and then an european/pl match) he would be our 2nd best striker (dependable on who we buy). And in 1/2 years we'll prolly have one of the best strikers in PL.

Chelsea striker’s switch to Swansea is ‘idle gossip’, says West Brom boss

We cannot bring Lukaku back as long as Torres is still a part of this club!

[Korea 734]

Good.

He needs a loan and consistent playing time...

[IkE 267]

We might loan him to Sevilla and get Kondogbia for 8M €, problem solved for both sides.

Nope. I disagree.

He needs to fulfill his destiny right here. The kid can make it - joined by a another great striker. The problem of having Torres and Ba (as a in between pope) cannot hinder our relation with Lukaku (nor what we do with Courtois and I hope KDB).

It is time for the three of them (Courtois could wait, but I added him also considering Petr is amazing but getting more and more injury prone. I'd like a GK that can step up when those moments become more and ore frequent) to get in and compete. Period.

Why have we bought promising youngsters - future world beaters that - at the time they are demonstrably ready - run a risk of getting (maybe) offloaded in exchange for another, get loaned back again when they top the charts in scoring whil one runs hot in Spain, the other has the entire Bundesliga after his ass and the last one has a nomination for young EPL player of the year after a season he didn't even play that much and still had everything to prove,

I wonder. Some of us love to set the targets so high - disappointment is your only option. Winning the CL is pretty unique. We should keep real about ourselves without forgetting we are champions - especially if we want to keep building, which implies respecting our young talents AND giving them a chance - not just other loans until ... 'once, maybe, if ever, in due time, when they are PROVEN' - (especially if the are actually so ready now!).

We should get real here instead of dreaming of an exotic NEW shiny toy to talk about. In the case of Lukaku - he is very much the real deal, I believe. It means we have to get him back here, give him our confidence and grow him into the man we want him to be.
