Lukaku did an interview and took a massive dump on Chelsea
Lukaku obviously is a good professional, even the manager has said that he trains well and happy. And the interview was also professionally done, and he spoke about his beatiful past with Inter and his current playing style trouble. It's perfectly normal conversation in private but not in today social media era.
Lukaku thought his target audience was limited to just Italians, but completely missed that his interview would always be heard by his own employer (Chelsea), boss, teammates and fans. It's such a silly error, and for his level of rich status, a costly error. Zero sympathy

The only ones I’ve heard supporting Lukaku is …. Surprise surprise - Andy gray and Richard effin keys
There’s about 83 pages for me to look through
Hence why I said last few pages?
He might need it in a different language
I keep refreshing news hoping to hear he's made a transfer request.
Trained as normal today apparently...
I can understand Lukaku's frustrations and blow-out. He clearly didn't want to leave Inter, he still had a contract there and actually wanted to extend it but instead was forced out because Inter loved the Chelsea money and didn't care about the player's feelings despite the existing contract. He was forced to go back to a club that had got rid of him a few years earlier because they thought he was shit but they have since sobered up and now realise their stupidity. Players are human, they remember these experiences. It's like Partey being told Atletico had received money from Arsenal and he must therefore pack his bags and go to London, with absolutely no consultation with the player who is the main element in the equation, the only difference being Partey happened to be an Arsenal fan growing up. I hate the brutality and heartlessness of today's money-driven football market and I'm definitely Camp Lukaku on this one.

You do realize a player can reject a contract offer from another club?
Once a club have told you they don't want you anymore because they have found a buyer with an acceptable offer, what choice do you have as a player? Refuse to leave the San Siro despite being unwanted? Why does this work for the club and not for the player? If last winter Lukaku had demanded to leave Inter in the middle of their league campaign, would they have allowed him?
Jesus christ did you even see Lukaku's interviews? He wanted to go to Chelsea. He apparently even rejected an offer from Man City in 2020
Lukaku is a self confessed Chelsea supporter and has been since a youngster, its why he literally said when he joined, as did his agent, we were the only club he'd have left Inter for.
Exactly, both he and his agent were pretty open about Chelsea being the club Lukaku would have left for, and Chelsea being his lifelong love
Bring him back to complete the catastrophe
would be funny

That's false imo.. Lukaku asked for a new, bigger and longer contract in June despite he was already the most payed Inter player (€ 7,5m net -> £ 225k a-week) and the existing one at the time would have expired in 2024 (so another THREE seasons) unlike most of Inter players. That was very selfish from him.
Inter refused his request of course as giving to their most payed player a bigger and longer contract would have triggered the envy of other players. There wasn't even the urgency to extend his contract unlike those of other 14 (FOURTEEN) Inter players whose contracts were up in 2022 or 2023.
Imagine what the following key players alone: Handanovic (contract until 2022 at the time), Skriniar (2023), De Vrij (2023), Perisic (2022), Brozovic (2022), Vidal (2022), Barella (2023), Lautaro Martinez (2023), Alexis (2022) among other what would pretended after hearing Lukaku's contractual adjustment
Inter didn't really want to sell Lukaku to Chelsea as reported by pretty much everyone (manager, sporting director, the player himself and his agent). In fact as Pastorello said once, Nerazzurri refused THREE different offers from Chelsea during the summer (€ 100m, € 105m and € 105m + Zappacosta if I remember correctly) before accepting a fourth one (€ 115m) around August 10 only after the player was pushing to leave.
You just know he's pointing with that right hand of his.
500k fine.

Apologiesed and back in contention to play.
Load of fuss about not much.

Now he can go pull Tuchel out from the bus he threw him under
I think we have widely different ideas on what "throw someone under the bus" means.
Remember watching that Arsenal game at the start of the season and the away fans chanting his name throughout the match. Wonder how much support he's going to get in the stadium now.
Tuchel has really handled the man-management and the media side of it excellently.
He is probably the most impressive manager we've had since Mourinho 1.0.
Well that's a good question. People I know in real life will just continue to support him as the consensus among my friends and I is that it would be counter productive to boo him or give him a negative reaction. Online though, everyone is talking about booing him.
At best it will be mixed tomorrow night. If there's not a good few boos, I'd be amazed.
Scoring a couple against Spurs will be a start to getting the fans back inside though!
Why are you downplaying it like everyone overacting?
You seen what he said, and you mostly heard what Tuchel said about it. Hardly hyped up.
Tuchel already spoke a few times about it, it's was no fuss, he was straight to the point on what he thought about it all. Unless he making a fuss or nothing too.
Lukaku literally caused an unnecessary scene. Once he starts playing shite again, he get no slack or love from the fans. Tool of a footballer he is
Nice to see Tuchel isn't a hysterical bitchboy like a lot of people were.

Tuchel didn't hype it up because he's not a massive melt.
There were people talking about him never playing for the club again, about him getting his contact cancelled, about selling him to Spurs!
There was plenty of overreacting to this, just not from me or Tommy. It's not nothing but it's not that big of a deal.
That's not quite what happened though. He asked for a pay rise, inter said no. He's said if they gave him the contract he wanted he'd have stayed.
Did he put back Chelsea as his team on social ? Such a toddler.
Such a toddler.His Facebook still says Inter Milan, but I doubt he even knows the login details for that.Did he put back Chelsea as his team on social ?
He deactivated his Twitter a while ago.
But his fb didn't say Inter Milan a couple of weeks ago, yes?
I have no idea either way. The first time I ever looked at his Facebook page was this weekend, when someone said he had changed it to Inter Milan (and I am too much of a boomer to see when he changed it).
In your next 8 games you've got Spurs x3, City away and Leicester. Wait until he fluffs his lines in those and fans will be on his back again.
I didnt see any of that to be fair
But as far as drama goes it wasnt over hyped. The manager said so himself. He even called a meeting with the players to address how they felt about it. He even got dropped from the squad.
It will most certainly be an issue the rest of the season, unless he morphs into peak Drogs for next while then everyone will forget it.

The manager said ""It was important to understand that it's not that big as maybe people want it to be or you want it to be". So he definitely thinks it was over hyped.
Fans are irrational, they expect the players to be devoted. It is quite obvious that Inter chose to sell him once the Chelsea money was on the table, they were prepared for the event with three alternatives Dzeko, Zapata, and Correa and they end up buying 2 of them. His agent and Inter orchestrated a PR campaign to make them look ambitious despite selling the top striker.
He rejected that offer in 2020 and stayed with Inter, which just proves @Che Guevara's point that Lukaku wasn't really eager to go back to England despite his wages being lower in Italy. City's offer was even higher than what he ended up taking at Chelsea.
If you read his interviews he talked about his mom being in love with the city of Milano and how the house he bought there was perfect for his son. He talked about great friendships with Lautaro, Bastoni, Eriksen, Barella and Skriniar. Players are humans, these things matter to them.
He’s like an Etsy Drogs.
