Romelu Lukaku

[Tomo 21,681]

He's better than any right-back we currently have, at least offensively.

No good if you can'y defend, is it a coinsidence Pool's defence has gone to pot since Johnson replaced a perfectly good Arbeloa.

Romelu has confirmed the deal won't be confirmed until next week.

i suppose next week could mean monday tho so not so bad..let the club concentrate on the game on sunday etc..

He was a promising skilled young striker but we never really gave him the chance. (I think he's with westham now)

He had chances at Blackburn and blew it (23 apparences, 1 goal), which is why he's playing at Wigan now.

Not Chelsea quality.

Ancelotti was good enough to get us the double in 2009-2010. I hate how everyone seems to have forgotten that!

Co-signed.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

We are only buying him becuase he looks a bit like Drogba, unfortunatly many people here think the the sky will fall when (and hopefully soon) Drogba leaves, so we spend 18 million on someone who could easily flop, just becuase he reminds people about Drogba.

How pathetic.

Ancelotti wasn't good enough to make us play a decent football in 2010-2011.

An open goal against Burnely aswell!

[Guest justin_3d]

As I said in the past, I am actually looking forward the day when Lukaku and Sturridge can play together.

Won't happen this year, and not sure about next year.

This year will be: Malouda/or new player here, Torres/Drogba, Sturridge/Anelka

this is one of the most ridiculous posts I've read,

. Do you honestly believe we have spent 18 mill on a player for no other reason than he looks similar to didi? Fuck off

It wasn't Ancelotti's fault that we had a bad season last time out! It was because Ray Wilkins left the club because Ron Gourlay was far too busy making enemies and disagreeing with everyone. Ancelotti then became a wotsit in a trance and he had no-one to speak with on the touchline, which meant tactics and approaches to games weren't thought out as well...

... that's how I see it, I don't blame the players at all!

He took us from 15points behind to almost winning the EPL if we had won at Old Traford with the worst injuries, selection, managerial...problems we had in a very long time. I don't about you but that sounds like 'relatively' descent football to me.

With our squad it's a disgrace to get 15 points behind from United. And United also spoiled lots of points last year, but we were even worse

I will brief because I think I've said this many time. Wilkins has nothing to do with our shamble. There were signs of our "bad moment" coming way before he was sacked.

When I've said "decent", I wanted to mean a playing style which looks like at something, could it be defensive or offensive. Instead of that we only had side passes.

Maybe they're waiting for international clearance or some sh*t like that

It'll be done this week though

[Melanicus 5,208]
