Romelu Lukaku

[The Skipper 20,593]

Shake my head Romelu. I've never seen a football player talk this much before rubbish before. You can't even compare this to Sturridge's situation here, it's like a 100 times worse.

I'm tired of his shenanigans. I really wanted him to do well here but obviously he has other ideas. Good riddance.

[Fernando 6,451]

"Courtois will be without doubt the first-choice CFC goalkeeper."

Did they tell him something they haven't even told Thibaut/Petr?

SELL HIM!!!

£35M + Lukaku for Vidal/Pogba

That would be an amazing deal if it was to happen.

[Beepu 1,714]

I really want him to succeed here, I really do. But he has run his mouth way to many times and if he wants to leave then go. Offer him to Juve for Pogba or something, sheesh.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Yup, hopefully Juventus interested in him. It will smooth the deal for Pogba.

Will this guy never shut up? Everyone and their dog already knows he wants to go so what’s the point of going on and on about it every fucking day? Chelsea are not a club to keep players against their will, especially ones that haven't even done anything for the shirt, so all he needs to do is tell the grown ups he wants a transfer and they'll sort it out. Absolutely no reason to involve the media every day and giving disrespectful interviews only makes himself come across an unprofessional douchebag in the eyes of many.

Well done Romelu, in just a few months he's managed to turn me (and many others) from desperately wanting him to succeed at Chelsea to first being indifferent on whether he stays or goes and now even wanting him to fuck off. Lukaku's got all the potential to be a quality player and it's a real shame things didn't work out for him at Chelsea but no matter how many goals he bangs in for his new club I won't miss him because of the way he's acted.

The fact is hes a very average player still, lacking a lot of things to be a top striker. He couldn't have been dropped at Everton because he was their best striker but at Chelsea he wasn't the best striker. Eto'o as old and if you want to say past it as he was, suited the system, better technique, better footballing intelligence and had the knack of being in the right place at the right time. Look at Lukaku's WC performances, if he thinks hes ready to be number 1 at Chelsea after those he's sadly mistaken, his best role at Chelsea would be coming off the bench with 20 or 25 minutes to go when everyone else is tired and hes fresh and can make an impact. Look at him when he was on loan at West Brom, he didn't always start, he scored a lot of goals coming off the bench for them. Hes a deluded boy if he thinks he deserves or has got everything he needs to be Chelsea's number 1 striker right now, it was only a matter of time before he wanted to leave, he already tried to after missing that penalty in the super cup, pathetic mentality and mindset to have, if he keeps thinking like that he will never be a top player. Football these days is as much mental as physically, very talented players need to handle pressure, deal with mistakes, if he cannot deal with missing a penalty and wants to leave after it then I can't see him reaching the very top. I know he isn't Drogba but look Drogba was perhaps the opposite, he was a good player but he was probably not thought to be as talented as Lukaku but his mindset, his ability to deal with pressure, bounce back from mistakes, was as vital to him being a top player as his ability.

sell Lukaku, buy Rodriguez.

git'r dun.

[Madmax 9,219]

Complete coward. Go away; good riddance.

whats wrong with people on here???

[Parky 739]

We should sell this guy. He is not humble enough and rates himself higher than he actually is. No one is bigger than the Club and team..

[The only place to be 11,313]

whats wrong with people on here???

People are bored with his incessant talking. It's getting boring seeing him saying the wrong thing over and over again.

[The only place to be 11,313]

Present me with a legit source quoting he expects to be first striker at Chelsea, I haven't seen one. It would indeed be delusional, which would be strange for a relatively intelligent guy.

I don't think he has a future here because I think Mourinho doesn't rate him and he's already lost a large part of the fans.

"For my development and with the World Cup coming up at the end of the season, I cannot afford to stay on the bench," Lukaku said, while on international duty with Belgium.

[Polo7 3,496]

Hope we get a good price for this "complete striker".

He said: "What I don't want is to be loaned out.

"I am 21 and I have been loaned for the last two seasons. Thibaut Courtois was loaned for three seasons and will be without doubt the first-choice Chelsea goalkeeper.

"And Kevin De Bruyne has been transferred permanently to Wolfsburg. They are free in their heads - it is not my case. That would free me totally."

Furthermore, Lukaku has made no secret of his desire to continue his development by playing the in the Champions League next term - something Spurs can't offer.

He added: "I don't know - there are several clubs that are interested.

"I need to make a good decision to reach the absolute top so that I can score a goal like Higuain against us. It is a dream for every attacker.

"Higuain has evolved slowly into becoming a top player. I want to show what I can do and play in the Champions League with a big club.

"The decision will soon be taken. I have some ideas but we will have to see what is best for the clubs. I don't want to negotiate before the clubs have come to an agreement."

Please sell him!

Mourinho : 'Romelu likes to speak' , 'Maybe there is a new rule in football where when the season finishes every player is able to decide their own future.'.

When Mourinho first made these comments about Lukaku being a talkative irritant, I thought they were over the top. But as time has shown, Jose was spot on in his analysis of this kid. Lukaku was signed by us for 18 mil pounds at age 17. So far he's contributed absolutely nothing to Chelsea, thinking it's his birthright to waltz into the starting XI of a European giant club without earning it first.

He continues to talk and talk and he gives off the impression that he could care less about us despite all the "I dream about playing in this stadium" bollocks. He is very self-centered and only cares about himself. Again, there's nothing wrong with that. The career of a football player is very short and you have to look out for yourself, but at least do it with some dignity and respect for the fans who dedicate their mental energy and time to watching your progress and hoping you'll be the "new Drogba" at this club. However, Lukaku will never be a new Drogba because of his self-entitled attitude. He will go to an Atletico Madrid or Monaco or wherever and make an absolute fool of himself. His mediocre performance at the world cup has probably reduced his value by the odd "X" amount of pounds.

Selling him for anything less than 30 mil pounds will be the worst thing we can do. We have to make a decision though. He has only 2 years on his contract. It's either we sell him now or loan him again and risk losing him on a free. By far the best option is to keep him. Being a "second" striker means nothing. Dzeko started as Man City's third striker but became the first name on the team sheet. Teams like City can have four strikers, but we can't keep two? It's delusional to think we can win the league with Costa, Torres and Ba unless we act quickly now and bring in a Mandzukic. Again, anybody striker we sign from now on will be given the tag of "second" striker.

Unlike what now seems to be most here, I'm still willing to give the kid another chance IF he is willing to humble himself. He's still a kid afterall. He's only 21 and he was a star in Belgium since he was 16 (!) He's probably used to people telling him how special he is and whatnot. His behaviour so far has been very unprofessional and borderline strange, but he's done nothing unforgivable. Some of the reactions here are slightly OTT.

[DH1988 1,273]

I am at a point now where I want him to go and go for the right price.

I was actually talking this over with a friend at the weekend, I said he will go to a top club or an average then to a top club, float around for a few years, filter down to the average teams and phase out.
