Romelu Lukaku | Chelsea

He was better at scoring back then, and the team was good enough to make decent possession play work in spite of Lukaku... Conte with their current squad would definitely be benching him as well.
Agreed but one would wonder why conte went for him to begin with.

He was a decent goalscorer back then... Even in his worst season at United he was still scoring at a decent rate. Check the ratio on this figure. The decline in his scoring numbers is actually unprecedented and very hard to explain. He was scoring 15/17 non penalty goals in the league every single season (18/19 being the exception...But the ratio was still decent) until he met Tuchel and the drop this year is even more spectacular than last year...

Even then surely there were other more technically competent options out there with a much more reasonable monetary cost (why not someone like immobille who has had great scoring numbers in serie a) i just can't fathom paying that much for a player that's limited to such a degree.

I can't understand why Someone like conte who's obviously more knowledgeable than I am would go for him, but I suppose he did make it work i the end so perhaps I'm mistaken.

Only Conte could get a tune out of him. Not sure if thats the case right now.
 
Had a public on field spat with Barella. Apparently made up during the break.
 

When they talk about Lewandowski, Benzema, Suarez, Kane, they would say it's world class level and with me it's always about being in good form.

'In the last two years I think I have shown it's not just good form.

'I belong with that group, I am at that level.'

Never forget.
 
What us and inter got for him after Everton is seriously some of the best business ever done in football
Although he left us for less money I'd rank him effectively funding Diego Costa up there aswell.
 
Not sure what happened but Tuchel broke him completely. Injured a lot then not even prolific. He always had shocking misses, but still score every second or third chances. Nowadays look like 1 in 10 instead which is not good enough. It takes couple or more games to create 10 chances is what I meant.
 
It's kind of weird how much worse he has become in the last two years. Maybe starting his career at a very young age is affecting him now.
 
Chelsea should bring him back. They need a striker. Problem solved

He is overweight most of the time in the past few years. He only has himself to blame.

He's always been the same player, just under Tuchel and now back at Inter he's been in possesion orientated systems which expose his weaknesses even further.

I am not talking about the player profile. I am talking about his fitness and now his dull scoring ability.

He breaks down his own team attack in the build up is always there. Despite that he used to still convert good chances at good rate despite having shocking misses here and there. Nowadays it requires dozen misses before him scoring in the third or fourth games from good chances. And his availability is questionable too. So he's not good enough for top teams in a sense.
 
When he needs to use his right foot, he is terrible at it, isn't it? But to be fair, the whole Inter team is playing terribly bad this season.
 
As Inter lose at home again, Lukaku has 1 goal from open play all season in the league (back in August). 3 goals in Serie A this season.

I think Inter have already made it clear they don’t want him back for next season so unless we find a different club for him he’ll be back at Chelsea next season :(
 
Conte needs to join a Saudi team so he can feck off already. No one else in their right mind will sign this fraud. All I see is getting is another loan at 10% of his total wages. Another Bakayoko.

Your club is struggling to score goals, Lukaku is PL proven striker. You should play him regularly.
 
So, folks, we are 90 minutes away from Lukaku possibly lifting the UCL-trophy.

Not a scene you could ever imagine happening, right?
