Demba Ba

I believe Lukaku is as good as he'll ever be now. His technique won't improve beyond what it is in my opinion. He just got dropped for a 19 year old in the World Cup because he couldn't control the ball consistently. I can safely say Lukaku is not good enough now and will never be for what we require.

so a 21 year old getting dropped for a 19 year old means he simply wont get better than he currently is?

No, it doesn't. I'm saying Lukaku got dropped for a relatively unknown 19 year old (who has scored 7 goals in his entire club career) because he couldn't control the ball. Doesn't exactly bode well for a future at an elite European club does it?

how did rooney play in the 2010 WC? did that define his club career? klose is the most successful WC player and yet never had a good club career.

lukaku was poor in those 2 games and then brilliant in the 3rd one. match winner if u will. his main role for us this season would be coming up against tired and battered defenders and i think he can do a good job at that!! also the world cup stage comes with some heavily added pressure. some of the greats have flopped in world cups. hazard was a flop too. does not mean we should be saying "thats it. he is done!!!" simply not fair to lukaku.

thanks for the goals against manu and PSG

A squad is incomplete without guys like Demba who wait for their chance and perform when called upon. Kudos to him for remaining thoroughly professional throughout his stay. I wonder who'll perform this role next season. Dearly hoped Eto'o would stick around.

Shame for him to go Turkey, I hoped he would go to some midtable English club cuz I enjoy watching him play. Oh well better for us Shame he couldn't succeed here

I seriously, seriously hope you will be made to eat your words. Despite his flaws I seriously reckon he will be unstoppable in a few years and reckon his sheer pace and power will help him. I reckon people are being quite oblivious if they think he won't improve. He is 21 and training every day. With time he will work on his flaws whilst improving on his strengths. I can almost guarantee that he will be scoring goals galore in a few years. He is really going to prove people wrong.

This.

Even though he's raw, right now, he will improve. He trains hard and improvements will come. Also, he's very strong physically. Whether that's with Chelsea or someone else, is a whole other matter entirely.

In a short time at Chelsea he has had a couple of great moments, that goal against Liverpool:
