Romelu Lukaku

[Joker10 946]

I say lets forget about Lukaku and let Arsanal sign him, and we should go for Kenwyne Jones.

seriously what is the difference from one bodybuilder to another.

[Henrique 9,133]

Could probably score a couple against Brazils shit defence.

What are You talking about? Lucio + Thiago Silva is way better than english defence.

[KingEssien 127]

Against FC Brussels and against Arzeibaijan.

Shit comment there.

Lukaku is a gamble and his goals agaisnt lesser sides doesnt change that.

Grow up.

So he's only scored against those 2 teams, pathetic. League's top scorer at the age of 17 is an incredible achievement, it might not be the EPL but it's hardly something like the K League. Being capped by your country by the age of 16 and at 17 being in the first eleven is not easy.

Pretty sure if he was a Brazilian you would have masturbated all over the screen at just the prospect of signing him.

You tell me to grow up and come with this ; "Pretty sure if he was a Brazilian you would have masturbated all over the screen at just the prospect of signing him."

First thing I did not said he scored agaisnt those 2 teams, I wont explain what I mean.

Second thing: I want brazilians as long as they are good. Thats why I think Neymar would be good for Chelsea and Muchel Bastos would be a mistake,

As I said Im not saying he is shit. If You dont get what I mean, stop quoting my posts to talk bullshit.

Clueless guy.

Petty little thing aren't you.

So you trying to say Lukaku won't be good for us.

Let's compare him to your beloved Neymar then. He's younger, more mature, capped by him country at a younger age, wants to play for Chelsea - not money, plays in a more competitive league. Now tell me how Neymar is worth £45m and Lukaku isn't worth £22m? There are many copies of Neymar that we could get instead but Lukaku is a rare player.

If that's not what you meant with you saying about him only scoring against those 2 teams then don't make such ridiculous assertions. Lukaku scores against teams which are much greater to the teams Neymar does. The word hypocritical springs to mind.

It's awesome the way you only rate a forward for his goals. That's a thing from a shorty and ridiculous mentality.

Why did You assume I said Lukaku wont be good for us?

I only said the goals he scored doesnt make him a "proven" player in Europe, and that Ivorian kid looks better than him, and he could be cheaper, but according to eldinho he is not.

And You cant compare Lukaku with Neymar. Barcelona or Real will pay 45m for Neymar. Right now Neymar is in another level.

And Palmeiras and Corinthians are way greater than FC Brussels and Bilbao.

Of course If Neymar goes to Barcelona or Real and Lukaku end up here, I will wish to Neymar become a huge flop, and Lukaku the best player in the world.

No, I meant to put a question mark so I didn't assume that, it was a grammatical error. My apologies.

I'm not comparing the players so to speak I'm comparing the risks. For the reasons I've said in my other post I fail to see how you can say Lukaku is such a huge risk when Neymar is a much less 'proven' player but is double the price tag? In relative terms, Lukaku is a bargain for the risk is much lower.

How can you say that Ivorian kid looks better than him? Have you watched him before the tournament or just a few games? He's playing against some 16 year old kids and you said for that money so you weren't saying he would be cheaper. He's a good player but comparing him to Lukaku who is far more proven on bigger stages is foolish.

You got o point about the Ivorian kid. There are rumours that he is not even a u-17. Thats really common in African youth teams.

Neymar would be a risk, but I think If he succeed his impact would be bigger than Lukaku's.

Not only on the pitch but also off the pitch. He would add a lot to Chelsea's brand around the world. Neymar has the pedigree to become a legend, but he might end up as a new Robinho.

Lukaku might be a good player, but he would be like Didier. A great player but he is not like Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldo or Ronaldinho. Players that are in another level as characters.

Of course, I never disputed that. The bigger the risk, the bigger the potential gain. Neymar can be an incredible player, but so can Lukaku, and for half the price tag his risk is far lower.

I would disagree on the part that Didier isn't like C.Ronaldo. I know what you mean he can't do things that make you sit there in awe of him all the time like those can but he's a striker, he's not meant to. His importance to Chelsea over the years has been the same as to those you have mentioned to their respected teams and his impact also, I would therefore put him on par with C.Ronaldo.

Anyway, this whole argument came about because you thought the U17 geezer would be a better alternative to Lukaku, since this has been cleared up I don't see any reason to carry this on.

[magic weeds 446]

Lukaku just scored against Benfica. thats 4 goals in 2 matches

I like yours reasoning must admit. But I disagree with that Lukaku almost nothing to give Chelsea or that Neymar would be far more successful on and off the pitch. Neymar is more technical, but do not know what is unready influence of terrain Neymar not a leader, but Chelsea needs strong characters and the pitch and off it, why not become a leader Lukaku such as Drogba for Chelsea? [# ] Lukaku no technique Neymar largely due to the difference in the physics of both, but there Lukaku far more likely to be necessary in England than Neymar right. I see it in the new Robinho from anywhere. A man who knows what he wants, still remember how he spoke, he wants to Chelsea and the club is waiting to send a new offer, then Robinho as he turned the words, apparently in Spain will give him more money. Remember how it was almost certainly a new addition to Juventus. This shows only one - too many players are influenced by money and this is not a good sign. It wherever he will be a leader, rather a clown who will make the fans laugh.

Lukaku will cope with the physical side of the EPL 10x better than Neymar would have, that alone is a reason to choose him over Neymar, plus the fact we could get him for just under 20m less. Neymar is so great?, who has he shown his true greatness against? Brazilian teams? I am not doubting his ability, but Lukaku I think would do better in EPL. IMO

The fact that Neymar is a winger is enough reason for me to pick him over Lukaku.

Bad argument. Everybody knows that football is not only about physical power, and in PL you dont need to be a tank to succeed.

At least everybody that got a clue about the game knows it.

People said that about Ronaldo when he joined United. I think we all know what happened next. Anyway, this is mere rhetoric, Neymar isn't coming.

Barcelona's little players have ripped apart ManU's big boys.
