Lukaku and Bertrand out of the UCL squad.

[laura90 556]

First, our group is not a joke. Only Genk is an easy opponent, others are not.

In order to be included in CL squad, Ryan Bertrand needs to gain some PL experience first. Same goes for Lukaku. Some expect instant changes and improvement, but it does not go that way. Why Bertrand did not gain any experience in PL? Why we did not play him? Because if we gave him a chance, he would have been included. Lukaku will be included later if he proves himself in first half of season. That will only motivate . He will get his chance. Romeu is included simply because he has great potential and our DMs are pretty poor offensively. Our bad politics and youngsters management are the reason why we have to endure another year of Malouda, Ferreira, Kalou and some senior players with their current form in starting eleven. Hope that will change soon. I will have more faith when I see Josh in starting eleven. In CL too. God knows we need him. May I repeat how sad I am because Kalouda is there? But we can^'t loose faith in AVB just yet.

Maybe Boas wants Lukaku to start his Chelsea career only in the England first, May be he dont think he's ready yet.

He's only 18, remmember that.

About Bertrand- shame... cant understand that.

Rubbish?, if he can play pl then he also can play cl. He played for belgium at the age of 16, so forget this to young thing!.

This is simply a bad decisions of Mr. Boas, why no skip Anelka or Kalou or...?.

He wasn't at Chelsea for period of 3 years. He could be named in as association trained, but imo other players are much more important.

That will only motivate .

Do you really think Bertrand - 22 years-old and our second LB choice - will be really motivated after this ? I wouldn't.

I cant agree with that. Lukaku is going to play in our "easy" games, like WBA and Norich at home, you cant compare it to games against

Leverkusen and Valencia.

I realy think alot of us Chelsea fans are being a bit too enthusiastic about Lukaku. Yes, he's like Drogba, yes, he's a beast and he's only

18 years old, but i dont think he's ready to do the things your expecting him to do. He's a future signing, more than anything.

Rubbish!. Nobody says they have to play al 90 minutes every cl game, but you buy a guy for 20 mill who has played for his country (and scored how many goals?) since he was 16!, and then say he will get his change later?. The curent starting eleven is the reason we dont have won the titel. Motivate?, to let him out you think so, yeah he will be pissed like some of us members!. Take some change like Boas did in Porto, instead of this old melody of experinced player, well they never won the cl, so

have about trying with some young players instead?.

And i dont agree with that. He is a goalscorer, he doesnt need easy games ( bye the way there are no easy games) he needs to play and

play and.. And he will deliver, instead of this like other members suggest "handle with care start", - no play, not nesscery 90 min every time but play.

Are you kidding me? why do you think i wrote "easy" and not just easy? i know there is no such thing as easy games!

And okay, thats your opinion, bottom line- Lukaku wouldnt play against Leverkusen and Valencia if he was registered. Against Genk i think

he would have played, even start one of them, but its not crucial for us, and not for him, because its only Genk. And i saw Genk two

weeks ago, in their qualfy games against Maccbi Haifa, they are just awful. I think all of the PL clubs are better than them.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Aren't we planning to send Lukaku out on loan in Jan? That could make sense.

Got it " ", we just disagree on that CL and Lukaku.

Do you think it will be crucial for us and Kalou that Kalou play against Genk ?

Good idea. Lets send him to Anderlecht and he can play Cl for them.

[Guest justin_3d]

Do you think it will be crucial for us and Kalou that Kalou play against Genk ?

Of course. He is a far better super sub then Lukaku!

[Badboy 1,526]

Kalou must be the best player in the history of the world in training. He just keeps getting the nod even though he cant control a ball. At least Sturridge is in the squad lol but it would of been nice to of seen Lukaku !

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Do you think it will be crucial for us and Kalou that Kalou play against Genk ?

Kalou can easily find himself playing agianst Valencia in spain. We have 4 strikers who are favored than Lukaku at the moment, and yeah

Anelka is one of them.. On the other hand, you have only 3 players who can play on the right wing. 2 injuries and we have nobody

to play there if Kalou isnt registered.
