Romelu Lukaku

[The only place to be 11,313]

He requested a transfer two days after we signed Samuel Eto'o.

All this guff about him 'deciding his future' is a smokescreen from Jose. JOSE decides who stays and who goes. Lukaku may have asked but Jose acceded to these 'demands'.

If he was in Mourinho's plans, Lukaku's request was gonna be declined. As it was accepted and he got his loan move, only proves that he was not in Mourinho's plans and he made the right choice. And for Lukaku, he's not consistent enough. Every time you play a bad game in Chelsea, you are sitting on the bench for a consecutive 5 games, that's not what a young player like him needs, not now, and not next season.

Torres, spent SO much time on the bench these past three years.

Lukaku just came second behind Pogba in the Golden Boy Award, celebrating the best European talent under 21.

Previous winners:

Rooney, Messi, Van der Vaart, Fabregas, Aguero, Pato, Balotelli, Gotze, Isco...

Impressive.

Apparently Barca are interested in him as well....that makes three of our young players that they've been linked to (Courtois and Loftus-Cheek).

Ha ha...idiots. Don't they know how bad his link-up play is? Stupid Barca and their stupid youth development officers.

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

Yeah, wouldn't really see him making it at Barca.

Would be funny though.

They currently play Pique up top whenever they are chasing a result in the second half - Lukaku would be an obvious upgrade to Pique when trying something different after plan A fails.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Lol Barca. Nice joke.

[Flemishblue 61]

If he wouldn't be a Chelsea player at this moment... everyone would be drooling over the prospect of signing him.

He is truely a great guy and I wish him all the best, preferably at Chelsea but that seems to become less likely..

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

Just gave an assist against Man Utd.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,742]

He has earned his right to speak...over and over.

Top Top player.

Top Top player.

I wont agree with this until I see he perform at a big club.

[Las7 951]

Lukaku and Everton edge closer to us, our big man got a big assist even though he was trying to shoot - lucky lad

Also he made Vidic his bitch on several occasions - just completely out muscled him

First win by Everton away at United since 1988

I wont agree with this until I see he perform at a big club.

He will perform better than what we have starting up top for us currently - Everton are a big club

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

He has no problem scoring against big clubs though.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Well done with the assist Romelu. That's what I like to see. Just keep quiet and keep it up.

Is it possible Mourinho tried to rile up Lukaku just before the United game?

[iceboy 992]

He was good against Manu.imo

[nyikolajevics 2,428]

He was good against Manu.imo

He got 8 out of 10 from Sky, Goal.com named him as the man of the match:

"A towering display from the dreadlocked one. Tore Vidic a good'un with his pace and power, held the ball up well and set up the game's only goal with the cross to Oviedo."
