Romelu Lukaku

£65 million? , Overrated. Lazy, Cant hold up the ball, Poor touch etc. He knows how to score but so does Costa. We need to be looking for more technically gifted strikers, shame we missed out on Martial and Dembele.

Another Belgium international, Romelu Lukaku, is understood to have made a return to #Chelsea his preferred move this summer. [Telegraph]

Im curious to hear how people feel about a potential Lukaku return? This should be interesting..

[bababoom 4,478]

Really not feeling this at all. 

[Pizy 18,368]

Wouldn't mind if it wasn't for 65 fucking million!

He's worth about half that amount. 

[Polo7 3,496]

His father basically said his son shouldnt join the Italian league because it is a defensive league therefore difficult for strikers. What a pathetic attitude. 

[Weckerz 3,781]

He'd bring the same skillset Costa has with slightly better finishing, this signing wouldn't make much sense and we'd have to overpay

[Fernando 6,454]

I would still get him if we can't get Higuian. 

Higuian would be my first choice but looking long term Lukaku would be better. 

Mistake selling these young players without any buy back clause. 

If you going to sell young players at least insert something like that.

Please, no.

We already have too many donkeys in this team. We don't need to bring back another one.

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Never thought much of him, haven't seen anything that makes me think he's worth the money being asked and would rather not have him back

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Not sure how I feel about this. Seems to be gathering pace. 

[Madmax 9,219]

No great technique, no great precision. We already have Costa for that.

Save that 65m (!!) and go for someone like Lacazette. Why the fuck are clubs like West Ham after him and not us?

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

A front duo of Costa and Lukaku could be very comical though, even more so if in bad shape. At least Costa, even with all his limitations technique-wise, wants to win at all costs and on his day he is nearly unplayable, he could easily produce 30-35 goal per season if fit throughout and consistently supplied with chances, one of the few players in this team that has truly won me over.

Higuain had an awesome season, but when you look at the past seasons, you realize his goal record is not really better than Lukaku's. In Europe Higuain played for Real, a team that scores goals for fun in Spain, and Napoli, a team that have different status in Serie A, than Everton have in Premier League. Between Lukaku and Higuain, Lukaku is easily the better choice. He is younger and already have PL experience, and no doubt he will be cheaper than Higuain.

I remember years ago when I said I wanted to see Sturridge and Lukaku in the team. That of course before we sold them both. That would have been a deadly combination like Gudjohnsen and Hasselbaink of years ago. 

I think if we get Lukaku back that might help Hazard and Courtois feel more comfortable. So I guess that is also a good reason to go for him.
