s-mackie Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 It does seem an odd situation for him at Chelsea. AVB continues to play an under-performing Torres (who he didn't even buy) rather than a player that he obviously thought highly of considering the fee they paid for him. Perhaps some pressure from Abramovich to keep on playing Torres? I'd like to see us take a punt on Lukaku on loan, however I can't see it coming off and if I had the choice between him on loan or Stracq as a permanent option I know which one i'd go for..

marcus jones Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 If I were him I would stay away as far as possible from this club, he needs to go to a team who will know how to use strikers correctly, not use him as a defensive forward..........

Bailey Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 As far as I can remember he has only played as the central striker once and that was when he bossed our back 4 in the league cup. He has the raw ability but like a lot of youngsters that join big clubs, he will rot on the bench when he needs to be playing week in week out.

Mirallas Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 In an interview to a Belgian radio show today, Romelu Lukaku expressed his wish to play one level higher than West Brom. He said he didn't want to return to Chelsea per sé, but that he wanted to get back in touch with European football. Chelsea will definitely keep him in the EPL. So there's 7 teams that are better than West Brom who'll play European football. Neither of the Manchesters need him. Arsenal and Tottenham are too close competitors to Chelsea, plus they're from London. That leaves Liverpool FC and Everton FC. It's vague and it's speculation, but it's his wish and it's a loan that would make sense to both teams, but I suppose he'd get more chances to play at EFC than at LFC, because of Sturridge. All I'm saying is that it is a signal and with a bit of 1+1=2, we can take notice of this. Plus Fellaini and especially Mirallas are buddies of Lukaku Oh he's Belgian? Darnit didn't know that... Well I suppose I'm gonna have to face some repercussions from certain Swedish individuals for this then.... Mirallas and Sibdane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter H Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) I like Lukaku, would have been nice. Dunno if you have noticed Mirallas but I have given you credit when credit is due, Ive been hard on you when you post shit. Sorry if you think ive been too hard on you. Like you said I do tend to go all in with my emotions. I am swedish and ive been pushing Guidettis name around here a lot. I understand that nationality colours your preferances in players. Im also guilty of that. Its nice to have someone of your own nationality in the team. Its a shame that Hammar is leaving. He was the only swede. One of the reasons that it is nice for a smaller football nation than England, like Sweden and Belgium is that the national newspapers like to cover the teams with players from their own countries. Everton recieved more coverage in Sweden when players like Alexandersson, Blomqvist, Limpar and Linderoth featured for the club.

"English winners of the UEFA Europa League will enter at the Group Stage, gaining an extra domestic place only if they fail to qualify through other means for the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League. If the holders of the UEFA Europa League have already qualified for Europe, no extra domestic place will be gained." So if Chelsea were to win the Europa they would qualify on that had they finished outside the top 5, but since they have already qualified for UCL, nothing happens.

Lukaku could use his strength to hold off the defenders and lay the ball to Jelly. The problem with Jelly this season is that for the first half of it he had no service (and therefore lost confidence) which meant that when the service did get better to him he couldn't hit a barn door.

That is what I think he is worth 10-15mil at the most. He is young, talented and if Sturridge can go to Liverpool for 12mil then surely they would let Lukaku go for 10-15mil. All depends who they buy this transfer market. If they are proven strikers then they will probably let him go as he won't want to be a bench warmer. The only problem is Chelsea paid 20mil (10mil plus add ons) from Anderlecht for him and doubt they would accept 10mil. I am just basing it on what I think he is worth that's all.

Mirallas Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I was just referring to bluenosetoffees post. Do you think Lukaku will be more than 10 mil? Well it seems logical to me. He was bought as a rough diamond 2 years ago for £17 mil. Now he has proven himself one of the top scorers in the premier league and he's still only 20 years old. The guy is like Drogba, but a bit more combative and active, but his kicking technique isn't quite as good. Chelsea know better than any team in the league what the value of that is. I think they won't sell Lukaku for much less than 20 mil unless he has a discordence with the board or manager. That's maybe above his value, but it's just for the simple fact that they just don't want to sell him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodwell was / is constantly injured so 10m was a good fee in my opinion Arteta was a steal for Arsenal, but also saved us a massive chunk off the wage bill and considering he hadnt played well for a quite a while at the time (mostly because he was being played in Fellis CDM position it seemed, and vice versa) 10m was probably about right.

Chelsea bought him for 17 million 2 years ago he's virtually a younger drogba what would possess mourinho to sell him at all let alone at a loss of 7 million when you could sell him for much more if they did wanted to sell him which is unlikely.

It was the same story with Sturridge, I believe if he was there he could have got more goals than Torres. He is a good player the only thing I don't like about him is he is quite selfish at times but he is young and will learn. Same with Lukaku, he might be banging the goals in at WBA but if Chelsea buy a big name player then he might as well pick which seat he is wanting on the bench and make it is home ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
