Romelu Lukaku | Chelsea

It still doesn't read well to be honest, but Romano is a cnut for this.

Nah, not a cnut, just a chatter and a sh*t-stirrer like Palmeri and the most of Inter fans, if you want to understand the noble origin of such silly characters. :wenger:
 
Oh, Dramelu strikes again. On one had he is being truthful (i guess), on the other it surely is not the right time to reveal such details and feed the sharks (media).

All in all, I`m glad he is not our problem anymore.
 
They couldn't get Haaland before so maybe maybe chances of getting Haaland now are slim.

Wonder if they go for that Vlahovic guy instead.

Lukaku seemed such a bad transfer for how expensive he was - and a player who had already been at Chelsea like 3 different times.
 
:lol: never change man
It’s true though! The biggest factor in this is how out of the blue it was. When you get past that then it’s easy to talk yourself into thinking it’s not so bad. It’s the needless nature of it all that’s hilarious
 
Lukaku:
Inter have top directors but their fans are truly the best in the world. It hurt me that Inter said no to my extension, I would have stayed 100%. I watch all their matches. All of them. It is really like that when Inter touch you

Honestly, none of that is really terrible. He would have stayed had he signed a new contract right before Chelsea knocked on the door? Yeah that would seem a very reasonable assumption to make on his part. I'm not overly enamoured with him reading that but his target audience is Inter fans, not me. The potentially explosive bit that Romano repackaged as some kind of veiled attack on Tuchel is the bit I thought was disastrous but it turns out what he actually said isn't so bad, and the rest of the interview is just him grovelling for the Inter fans.

of course it’s terrible

he’s completely mugged Chelsea off there
 
Not sure what he's trying to achieve here. He's 6 months into his contract, was bought for close to 100m and he knows the club will demand a pretty high transfer fee for him (80m+ in the worst case scenario) - There literally are 4 odd clubs that can pay this amount in today's market - he's played for one of them in the past, playing for another right now. And the other two - City and PSG will have 0 interest in him because of play style and lack of requirement respectively.

Of the 3 clubs he's appealing to - two of them have elite strikers in Benzema and Lewandowski and the Barca is pretty much bankrupt and their play style does not suit him at all - which to be fair, going by barca's recent transfer record makes him a top candidate.
 
This interview was strictly about Inter and for Inter fans, with a throwaway line about Chelsea being sensationalised to high heavens.

Yeah Lukaku said after the Villa game he had a couple of chats with Tuchel about how to best utilise him in the interest of clarity. Even that was sensationalised by twitter journo's who framed it as 'Lukaku is DEMANDING clarity for Tuchel'.
I find it hard to believe that anyone who watches the original interview and speaks Italian would come to that conclusion.
 
Why was he looking for an extension to begin with? He still had loads of time on the original deal didnt he?

And no doubt an extension would have meant a pay rise, no wonder Inter said no.
Yes. Inter were in financial difficulty (having to sell Hakimi to balance the books) and had other players with contracts ending sooner (Barella, Brozovic and Lautaro) so they were the priorities to sort out. Lukaku was also the most expensive player in their history and well paid. He can make all the excuses he wants, but it isn't going to wash. In fact it makes him look worse, though I'm sure it'll turn out that part of the interview was also mistranslated.
 
For a big tough bloke Lukaku really is an absolute baby. I sincerely hope Tuchel dragged him into a room and said, “listen mate, it’s not all about you, it’s about the team….shut the feck up and do the job you’re paid for, and if you want to have a moan then moan to me, not the press”
 
:lol: :lol: I love the drama. Too bad Lukaku is not Liverpool and City player but still funny.
 
What a load of unnecessary noise

he should shut up and do his thing on the pitch.

the only people that need to know his opinions are his family, representatives and Club, to bring this out to the public is Moronic and shows Self entitlement/importance.
 
The weirdest part is what Ornstein is reporting. Even Lukaku’s representatives were blindsided by it and he engaged with the journalist directly to arrange it and conduct it.
 
When he went to Chelsea, he spoke about his love for them and that it was his dream to return, how he grew up a fan of them. It showed clips of him as a youngster at Chelsea’s ground and being like wow! In awe of the club!

The minute things have not gone his way, he starts with this rubbish, instead of just getting his head down and pushing himself into the team. He has actually starting getting back in and scoring again, so the timing of this is terrible.

how will he ever really endear himself to a fan base when he does this everywhere he goes? He doesn’t know what he wants, he doesn’t want to fight for a place, he isn’t prepared to. He downs tools as soon as it gets tough and always starts talking. Yack yack yack. Negative energy all around.

your paid so much money to live most people’s dream. Your life is incredible. Your job is incredible. You are incredibly fortunate. Shut up and show some respect to your club that pays your wages and it’s fans who pay bucket loads to follow you, buy tickets, shirts, merch and everything else that goes with it. Just show some humility and respect and play football.
 
What an own goal? What good can possibly come from this? I bet the Chelsea fans will now give him stick as soon as he has another poor game

Doesn’t sound like Inter fans want him back either.

He is deluded about his ability. He had a good season in Italy, plenty of space and time on the ball so his poor touch wasn’t highlighted so much and he now believes he is the real deal.

He will struggle again in the EPL because he just isn’t a good enough player. Mercenary.
 
he's such a baby :lol: unbelievable. Imagine singing an ode like this to the club you left months ago ... surely Chelsea fans must be absolutely pissed about this. Unnecessary drama.
 
Yeah, I’d be unhappy too if I was paid £300 grand a week.
 
He's a self-serving clown, who gets no time from any clubs fans he's played for.

Ole was 100% right to sell him. He could be the best player in the world, but he's not worth the effort.
 
This guy is off his rocker lately. Absolute car crash of an interview, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets dropped.
 
I find it hard to believe that anyone who watches the original interview and speaks Italian would come to that conclusion.

Granted I have only seen bits and bobs translated on twitter.
 
This player should try to outscore Ciro Immobile first then give interviews like these...
 
Werner is an excellent finisher and has great off the ball movement. He was exceptional in RB Leipzig. Once settled he will be a 20+ goal a league season forward.
Meanwhile it’s Rashford’s sixth season at United and he never scored close to 20 goals in the league and he never will.

That's the Bundesliga though. Shite defending maximus.
 
Wow...I can't stand Chelsea. But this comments are shocking beyond belief. Just goes to show where the modern Footballer is at.

Roman must be getting some radioactive stuff ready for Big Rom.
 
Funny thinking about all the hype when he arrived back. We were lead to belive he was a changed footballer. Yet he's still the same all clutz with a fragile ego.

Go back to your wooden shed.
 
I bet Tuchal is seething and there goes Rom’s invite onto Romans new super yacht next easter!

I expect to see some grovelling PR from Lukaku soon…..if not he could find himself on the bench a lot!

This is normally only the actions of someone trying to get ousted from a club…….twitter going to milk this one dry!
