Romelu Lukaku

[didierforever 7,349]

So its ok if you play like absolute shit, as long as you score in the game. Its been said already, Lukaku isnt good against teams that load the box. Most teams play like that against us. He doesnt have a great first touch either. Explain to me, how will he benefit our team?

Dude, he was so shit that even shit was not the right word to describe. I mean u have really seen lukaku a LOT this season, I can see that.

Lukaku will be our second striker, which would mean his major role will be of a super - sub. Which he will be brilliant at. Be it playing when the team is 1-0 up and we need pace on the coubter, or if we need a goal, him and costa vs a tired and ragged defence would be immense. Also don't act like teams dint play with a low block against everton.but since u think lukaku was shit all season long, what are we even discussing.

Ps- if a striker can score 15 goals, i actually would not mind hin playing "shit" if that "shit" is as good as lukaku's.

Michu scored like 18 goals at ST last season too LOL

[didierforever 7,349]

Michu scored like 18 goals at ST last season too LOL

and he scored 2 goals this season. Lukaku has consistently performed well for 2 season in PL and infact his 2 seasons at the highest level.

Michu is 28, lukaku just turned 21. Lol-much???

Poor Game.

[Muzchap 8,966]

I think the whole team was poor - very poor!

Lukaku didn't do the basics well enough though - didnt work the channels, first touch was poor etc. that's why he was subbed.

I know it's poor to critiscise one player, so I'm not. The whole team stank and I wanted Algeria to at least get a draw.

I think this weight of expectation is fucking with them, more than it did with England...

If this is Lukaku letting his footballing doing the talking, then he best get ringing journos again (JOKE!!!!)

40 million would be a fleecing. Chelsea could get Rodriguez and Origi and have money left over

I think it was also the lack of WC experience only Van Buyten had played in a WC game previously.

I only want him to stay so we can have a decent 2nd choice - since I don't think Mou will get another striker after Costa.

If he leaves we'll be stuck with Torres. And he will play a lot because Costa is 100% likely to be banned by the FA for something.

Just to put things into perspective, Chicharito had more goals than Lukaku in his 1st 2 seasons at MU despite being a sub most of the time.

i really want to see the stats.

So chicharito scored more than 17 goals + 15 goals those 2 past seasons?

Please give me the link

@DiMarzioChelsea sets Lukaku’s price: 40 million euro

it will raise up to 60 million if he shine tonight...

Guess it has went down to 10 million at most!

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

It looked like AVB was in charge in those 55-60 minutes he was on the pitch. Belgium had an awful game - no movement, long shots, slow possesion game, a striker that never touched the ball, no ideas. Horror. Just like Tottenham and Soldado.

I won't join the bandwagoon and slate him after a poor game. He is a good chap and I'm expecting him to deliver in the next matches.

Still, he has to work on that fucking first touch. It's like that ball is hitting a wall everytime.

Oh, so now Origi is suddenly a better player?

You know shit about football.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

People have seen Origi for first time who had decent game, now suddenly saying we should sell Lukaku and buy Origi...thats just one big LOL

I saw Origi few times in Lille and he is raw, has great speed and very nice dribbling, but his finishing and decision making is still raw. Anyway my point is how people can imagine Origi will fit in our team? He is waaay too young and raw to be our second striker or whatever people think he is. First he is more winger than pure striker and no way he could make it here next season.

The proper Lukaku replacement for example would be Benteke or sbd, but I would still keep Lukaku for at least another year and see what happens.

On his game, his first touch is terrible, awfull and he gets dispossesed way too easy. But he can improve that, think of Lewandowski.

Seems like some people don't watch French football. Origi has played well for a few months at Lille, but he ain't even on Lukaku's level.

Lukaku probably won't start the next match, but that has nothing to do with his ability.

He will start, since Russia is not Algeria.

[LAM09 6,744]

Not sure what that has got to do with it. He played poor, and no one can say any different. Wilmots might rewarded his subs with starting places.

Lukaku was poor but he definitely will start against Russia. Well Origi won't start. If he was to drop Lukaku he probably would play Mirallas up front but can't see him doing that. Not denyig Origi made an impact when he came on but he was a good option of the bench and I think Wilmots will use him the same way against Russia.

I don't it will happen, but why couldn't Fellaini start as CF?
