Romelu Lukaku

[Stats 7,142]

Anyone who treats my club with a complete lack of respect is a prick. Whether its our player or someone elses. He might be right, but who the fuck is he to comment? He has done nothing for our club, if anything we made his career.

By sending him on loan to other clubs? Basically we just bought him and dumped him on loan to other clubs. We hardly had a say in developing him.

Last season he was one of four strikers who had about equal chance of starting for us. He was getting chances, and I think he would've received more as the season went on.

This season he's definitely behind Costa. He's nailed on to start for us and the best Lukaku could hope for is second striker. He'll have to outperform an established, top striker.

And the funny thing is it's his fault. He requested a move when he had every chance to play himself in, a chance that EVERY other youngster at this club would kill for. Last season was a once in a lifetime opportunity for him, and he threw it away. That's why so many of the supporters are bored of him, and his comments simply compound it.

We have to sign another striker if he's leaving. Get Bentekkers!

Asked for a loan because he didn't want to compete with the shit we had at the striker position. What more needs to be said? Of course he wanted to be the undisputed #1. He said "Woah, what's going on here" when we signed Samuel Fucking Eto'o. Think about that for a second.

Assumptions everywhere, sad situation.

The only thing Chelsea has done for him is buy him, play him in the reserves for a season and loan him out for 2 years.

Lukaku has scored goals versus our rivals while increasing his value. You could argue he has done more for the club than the other way around.

You might think he's a prick but get some perspective

My point was that he was playing in a crap league and even though he had a name as a young talent, not many teams would have payed £18m for him. He would never have gone to West Brom or Everton.

I really hope he stays if Drogba is returning like the rumours suggest. He could be a world beater under Drogs' guidance. The problem with the lad is that he thinks he is already world-class when he certainly isn't. I hope the poor showing at the world-cup will bring some humility to the kid.

What a fantastic young man and what a great attitude. Fought for his spot at both club and national level, didn't moan or throw a strop when he wasn't first choice and brought the goods when he got his chance. In fact he seems to work harder when he has these obstacles put in front of him and will now be a key part of our squad going forward. Always says the right things too and got the rewards he deserved.

An absolutely fantastic young lad and a great role model.

EDIT - oops, should be in the Schurrle thread.

Nice try but that's a Radio - or Antenne as they say in mainland Europe

Just out of shot is Romelu Lukaku trying to tell the tape recorder that he is a complete striker and still hasn't made his mind up where he wants to play.

(Also, as Muzchap says, that's a radio not a tape recorder...so ner ner )

I like Lukaku, think he may even have a role to play at Chelsea but man does he ever make it hard for himself. Clearly his body has matured 10x as quickly as his mind. He thinks he's the finished article when most would think hasn't even formulated a thesis.

Now he says he wants to play for a team in the champions league? Like who?

Prem - Chelsea, Liverpool, Arse?

La Liga - Atleti, Barca, Real, Bilbao?

Serie A - Juventus, Roma, Napoli?

Bundesliga - Bayern, Dortmund, Schalke, Bayer?

Ligue 1 - PSG, Monaco, Lille?

Eredivisie- Ajax, Feyenoord?

Only a few teams here would have a need and they likely can't afford him. He needs to shut the fuck up and get on the practice pitch to work on his game. Too much talk from a guy who hasn't done much.

[Weckerz 3,781]

The same shit IS being repeated over and over and over again though.. save it for the next article guys. Make a Lukaku hate blog or something i dno

I mean he hasn't spoken in like a week, give him a break

Liverpool are reportedly in advanced talks with Chelsea over a £26m deal for Romelu Lukaku.
