Romelu Lukaku

[The only place to be 11,313]

Probably Lukaku asked for a loan move. Maybe he was afraid of the competition?

15 minutes against Hull coming off the bench for Torres and 25 minutes against Villa where Demba Ba started probably made him think that it might not have been a fair competition.

Then we signed a 32 year old out of retirement.

In a world cup year when he faces stiff competition for a starting place I think he probably felt he needed to be selfish. Going to Wigan won't be a massive help to his development, but unfortunately I don't know if staying here would've either.

I knew he was the one that requested the loan. Probably the correct the decision for his development but he didn't have the cojones like KDB to fight for his place.

De Bruyne had no premier league experience and plays in a position in which we are overstocked.

Lukaku scored 17 premier league goals and his competition was a has-been and a never-will-be...and then old man Eto'o.

I know you don't look to make cogent points that make much sense, and you won't reply to posts, but even for you that's a weak point.

He actually had the 'cojones' to step up and take a penalty in the Super Cup, unlike certain other players as well.

Or he doesn't love this club. He just want to play wherever.

He just wants to play by the sounds of it.

Maybe that's the problem. Maybe he should've looked to go to Russia and simply got unfit whilst cashing in the big cheques rather than being what appears to be the model professional.

Yeah I've always felt like Lukaku talks to the media just a bit too much. It's refreshing for a young player to be available for the interview all the time, but not necessary at the same time. In the end I think the loan was a good move for his development. He's effective, but is undoubtedly still very raw.

First Mata now Lukaku

He's not even here and already got Mourinho angry, well done. His agent should start preparing where he'll play next season..

This guy just needs to do the talking on the pitch.if he does that then I am sure Jose will be happy with him next season and keep him.Its all in Lukaku's hands now.

That's what was said last season when he was loaned out. It's in Chelsea's hands to confide in him or not and he clearly doesn't feel any trust in his qualities from the manager. And hearing all the strikers linked to Chelsea getting closer to a new transfer window, next season will be exactly the same as this season. Better for him to leave and find a manager who actually helps him.

I totally disagree here.Finally he'll have a manger here who will last more than one season so I think the manager faith debate really isn't a strong one this season.As for the striking options next season.I am pretty certain that Ba and Eto'o will leave the club,so if that does happen I guess Lukaku will get enough chances if he continues his good run of form at Everton.

There is no need to panic ,we all know he loves the club and wants to be the main man here.

Our striking options next season will be very strong-Torres,Lukaku and someone like maybe Martinez,Falcao etc.

Mate, then he will get distributed the role of Demba Ba today. Do you think that will satisfy him if he had another year of 15+ PL goals?

I agree with most things that are said about Lukaku around here, and that he might not have been ready for Chelsea this season . But as long as Chelsea keeps buying world class strikers, there is no point for him to stay as technically he gets outclassed by all the names that are coming to your mind now. And we know what Mourinho wants to achieve with the attacking compartiment of his team.

Lukaku is playing for a manager that bases on link up play, scoring goals, looking like the number one striker for his country so far everything is progressing smoothly for him this world cup year.

The matter is quite complicated.I really don't know what will happen but its better to remain patient and optimistic.

Why is he at Everton?

Because you sent him on loan, José. I don't understand what he's trying to say here. The decision to loan someone out lies with the manager.

If he had plans for Lukaku this loan deal would have never happened, even if he asked for a loan himself.

Obviously he did something wrong and pissed off Mourinho

Apparently we've got to wait for him to tell us, because Jose doesn't seem willing to. God knows what the fuck Jose is playing at because it seems remarkably petty, essentially calling out a player for NOT saying something to the media when the ultimate decision should rest with him.

Jose made the wrong decision and doesn't like being reminded of it. Lukaku going out on loan was not up to the player - all Jose had to do was tell Lukaku that he was saying and loan out Ba instead. Slating Lukaku in public looks pathetic.

I know he asked for it. He could've said no and tell him he'll have enough games for Chelsea this season. Instead we buy an old guy and fail to sell an average player in Ba.

It's not like Romelu is criticizing José in the press? I can't help but feel he's a bit bitter, because he realised he's made a mistake in loaning out his best striker.
