born to play for midtable clubs

They finished 6th last season. Not quite midtable and I really think they are a contender for top 4 this season

[yuvala 2,167]

Everytime he scores I'm even more happy that we loaned him out, not the opposite.

He wouldn't have gotten enough playing time if he were to stay..

Now he's playing a lot, scoring.. he's gonna come back as a BEAST.

He'll probably get more goals then all our strikers this season being supplied by Leon osman as opposed to juan mata.

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Excited for next season. I trust Jose to make this guy even better after more EPL experience!

[bushman 2,043]

most say much more than anybody here, including you.

[Tomo 21,733]

Next season he will be back, banging in goals in and Jose will be proved right yet again. Just like he has been with Mata and just like he was when he instantly replaced Cudicini with Cech, another decision that got people moaning at the time.

Are you comparing Osman to Mata ?

He's being supplied by the likes of Barkley, Mirallas, Deulofeu, McCarthy etc. all very decent players, stop being so dramatic.

It's not the proving of his goal scoring ability that he's going out on loan to Everton for. Everyone knows Lukaku scores goals, no one is disputing that, he's a naturally born goal scorer, everyone knows that. It's his general play that Lukaku has to improve, he needs to become a more complete striker, and you can't do that by getting minutes here and there at CFC, so retrospectively the Everton loan move is brilliant for his (and ours) future.

Good to see him score, would rarely get a chance ahead of Torres and Eto'o, but brilliant to see him scoring . hope the run goes on and come back next season as a better product.

[Las7 951]

We should have loaned Torres to Everton last season since it's very easy to score at those type of clubs we could have sold him this summer after he tore through the Premiership and ended up as top scorer

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Good goal for lukaku. He is a very big threat and has presence in front of goal. He just needs to fine tune his passing and first touch on a consistent basis and we wont need to get any striker again in all honesty.

It's simple - he is doing great in Everton, the loan spell so far is a total success from Jose's and Chelsea's point of view. Had we not loaned him out, he would not have had so much playing time and there would have been shouts for him to go on loan in January. I'm sure the club and JM are constantly one step ahead.

I'm not saying we should trust Mourinho blindly, but he should be given time to stamp his own style in our gameplan - that takes time.

if Lukaku had stayed & played as a starter, he could have been one, he would have improved on his " general play " as you put it.

The simple fact is that at the end of this loan he still needs to be given a chance by this club. He still needs to prove himself in a Chelsea shirt.

That requires a leap of faith from this club and I don't know if they'll take it. They could've taken it this season and we might have had a striker who can score goals.

Lukaku deserves to be a starter at Chelsea. Currently, Eot´o, BA or Torres are not better than him.
