Romelu Lukaku

[Mouri_Matic 560]

If he scores 20 goals this season, not only will he be PFA young player of the year, but regard a top 3 striker in the PL.

And that is what he will need to do to lead our line. Our club only accept the best, especially young players. Just being decent won't cut it anymore. Remember Sturridge had a brilliant loan at Bolton then still came back and be our sub.

He almost didn't played yet. He won't be able to play vs Chelsea. and you still want him to score 20 goals?

Yes he will have to score 20 goals in the remaining 33 matches to prove his worth.

The boy is 20 years old for crying out loud! Lewandowski is more than likely to go Bayern and Rooney is no certainty either way. I am sure Mourinho sees Lukaku as a big player for us in the future. He feels he is doing what is best for him. Sell Lukaku for £15-20m? Please be serious, that should never even be on the agenda. Too much potential to get rid off. Would be a ludicrous thing to do considering what his future value will bring and hopefully the goals he gets with us.

Like I said, at our club only the very best young players get to stay because we got a lot of talented young players, being talented is not enough anymore. I know wasn't being specific with a striker just pointing out 1-2 obvious names. Maybe Jose does but like I said it all depends on his form. Potential is not enough.

Only the very best?

Right now you have a 33 year old who used to be fantastic and might be still decent/good, a 29 year old who's been shit for 3 years now, and a spare who's average at best.

Because atm the bery best is not available, I was meaning standard level of player. Players like Rooney...etc is available next summer.

Bad news, Lukaku's new agent is the infamous Mino Raiola. Expect him to start touting Lukaku all over Europe to try and get his client the best possible contract and squad status available, be it at Chelsea or at some other top club.

Edit: Fuck the internet, apparently it was only a fake instagram account. Had all the same pics as the real one. Seriously, why do these people bother making shit up?

alen hansen ; "out of the 4 chelsea strikers, lukaku is the best and for some reason, chelsea let him go on loan". says it all does not it?

Yeh, it just doesn't add up.

He scores 17 goals for a decent West Bromwich team and instead of giving him confidence & easing him into the first team..

We decide to loan him out to Everton...

[bushman 2,043]

Well, whom to blame here for letting Lukaku to go out on loan again ?

I would say, the inability to get Rooney led to sign questionable Eto´o & Lukaku is out again.

As seen, Chelsea had problems breaking down Everton. If Lukaku was there, balls could have been pumped up to him, he would have helped, in my view.

His voice seems to come from the very centre of the earth. So weird for a 20 year old kid.

If we had bought a benzema/higuain/rooney etc type player I wouldn't mind. I don't think the loan will do lukaku any harm at all in fact it will probably do wonders for him.

But when we are struggling there is no reason why he couldn't lead the line for us. He has got to be at least as good as the rest with the other advantage of being really young and able to improve greatly.

i want to destroy MOURINHO,Romelu you were the best, look at E to'o now

[yuvala 2,167]

So you guys think we would have won tonight if we didn't send Lukaku on loan ?

The issue is far beyond that ... unfortunately.

[didierforever 7,349]

after seeing etoo's brilliant performances, i think the lukaku to everton deal should be made permanent. i mean why do u need a striker who can fight for headers, hold the ball up, stay in the box and be a poacher.

lukaku is useless- lets sell him...

Moaning about Lukaku won't change anything. And he'd probably been lost in the Basel defense yesterday.
