The kneejerk reaction's to him not coming on last night is getting beyond annoying.

What kneejerk you talking about, Tomo? This thread was mostly off topic for the last pages ...

Must have missed it, mate.

I'm saying he should've come on yesterday because he would've offered more than Torres, I'm very certain of that.

However I agree that the knee jerk reactions about him going out on loan and stuff are over the top.

Feck me some of you are over-reacting just a little bit, let's not forget he is 20 years old, he is going to be a great player for us i have no doubt about that, just not yet.

Lukaku is in a similar position to what RVP was in 2004, very talented young player who has a great future, but he just isn't ready to be #1 at a club with design's on winning the title.

That comparison is fine until you consider RVP had Theirry Henry in front of him.

Arsenal played with 2 forwards where-as we play with one and Bergkamp was getting on a bit and couldn't play every game, either way It doesn't matter who was infront of who, the point remains the same that Lukaku needs time to be develop at his own pace, just like RVP did in 2004.

Wait till Torres destroy Lukaku's Chelsea career like he done to Sturridge.

Fucking hell. I thought I clicked on the Lukaku thread, not the Grey's Anatomy thread. So much drama!

I don't think Lukaku will play anywhere near the amount of games that he needs to at his age, to develop his play and work on his flaws (which are well-known by now). You can't expect him to make progress if he gets 30 minutes of playing time out of every 360.

Mourinho has to decide whether he is willing to take a chance on him (and after pre-season, I felt confident that he would), or if he'd rather stick with Torres/Ba or a new world-class striker.

I expect the latter, which means: send Lukaku out on loan asap.

It's even worse than the Mikel Thread, Choulo!

The only think the boy can do is score goals when he comes in so that he can prove to Mourinho he deserves a chance to start every game. he should use the united game as motivation to force himself into Mourinho's thinking

Warning: Any thread on this forum can turn into a Mikel thread. Don't mention that name!

That's probably why Jose is looking for a new forward. Lukaku wasn't even undisputed number 1 at West Brom last season so giving him that too soon here is asking for trouble. Making him number 1 forward we are practically pining our hopes for this season on him, is it fair to ask that off a 20 year old? I for one am happy for him to be part of the squad for the next 2/3 year and develop at his own pace.

I found that wierd at West Brom he was their most scoring CF and still got benched somethimes. For example the match on Manure where he got of the bench after 45 min and scored 3 goals

I hope he takes a chance on him and he doesn't go out on loan, he's a monster! Would offer more than Torres and Ba in my opinion.

Don't forget that we will add another striker into the equation, may be Eto'o. Would be too much for him

I'm not too sure about Eto'o, Hope Rooney joins us haha
