What's his record like against spurs? C'MON ROM need a big performance from you this weekend! All is forgiven
Romelu Lukaku | Chelsea
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
Really think Lukaku only made Chelsea slower and less fluid in attack, yes they missed lots of chances last season but created as well. Quality player, great striker but not an elite one imo. And his moaning only makes it worse. Wasn't there recent interview of his where he said he regretted going to United after few weeks or something? Maybe I'm wrong but he moaned at United, moans at Chelsea. He's 28 years old, best years in football, but there's always a problem. Cry baby.
It’ll never happen but the best course of action for all available parties would be a Lukaku, Kane swap between Chelsea and Spurs. Conte seemingly knows how to get Lukaku to work and Kane will finally be in a team with ambition and resources to win CL.
You have had some pretty awful forwards.
Higuain, Kezman, Mutu, Pizzaro, Remy, Batshuayi, Torres, Falcao, Shevchenko, Morata, Eto’o
Feels like Werner and Lukaku are going on the list too at the moment.
Conte is not stupid. Kane plays a massively important role in the build up at Spurs. Lukaku can’t be used in the same way at all. Conte will not exchange Kane for a different type of forward when he doesn’t have players with similar technical abilities that he had at Inter.
Or do you think he can assemble something like this with Spurs lack of investments and ambitions?
Eto'o was good for what it was. A stop gap ageing striker. Remy was okay too, just injured all the time, but a pretty good backup in the title winning season.
But yeah it's not a great track record. Drogba, Anelka, Costa have been the only bona-fide hits in the last 2 decades. Some decent ones like Ba, Eto'o, Remy, Crespo etc who did a job for a brief period.
Higuain, Torres, Falcao, Shevchenko are all great strikers. How none of them worked out for Chelsea is a mystery.
And for Torres, you can’t even blame the country adaptation and that stuff. He was brought from Merseyside.

Higuain was on loan and he was already in heavy decline by then. Same as Falcao. No idea why we took a punt on him after his disastrous loan at United.
Chelsea shouldn't sign strikers in the first place
Very harsh on Eto'o (and probably Remy aswell too an extent).
If he didn't get injured against Arsenal we would have won the league in my opinion.
Torres already turned shite, people just assumed it was because he was sulking and/or playing under Roy's system.
You made the same mistake with Alexis, the signs were already there at the end at Arsenal.
That's why I think teams should be apprehensive with Kane, people are assuming his form this season is him having a strop but it might not be.
14 games 1 goal(Everton) 3 assists
I think he might sign a new contract after seeing yesterday's presser on twitter
Edit still pissed wrong thread

According to Transfermarkt:
He scored ONE goal in SIXTEEN games against Tottenham, quite shocking to be fair. But let's not forget that (according to graphic above) his numbers are very good against the likes of West Ham, Southampton, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Sunderland: 45 goals in 62 games against those 5 teams, fantastic..
One of his best games this season was Spurs away in the league. Should really have walked away with 2 great assists.
They aren't playing to his strengths just like we didn't. You have to change how you play and make him the priority but many teams aren't willing to make that sacrifice as they feel the overall impact is a negative in relation to the type of football they want to play. Zola said he preferred the team without him.

also he has been less productive himself
Or in the League Everton played in when he was there. And play in Bundesliga to make Werner score.Maybe Chelsea should play in Serie A to get best out of Lukaku
I think he'll have a good game today, if he starts. He tends to perform well against Spurs even if his goal-scoring stats are underwhelming.
Higuain was a finished player already on his last days at Juventus.
He joined Chelsea at 31years old

Broja looks a better player

I’d love to see us bring Borja back and let Lukaku watch from the bench. His ego wouldn’t cope.
Broja's style fits better with our team than Lukaku. But yeah it's a pipe dream. For better or worse, we're stuck with Lukaku, unless we get super lucky and find another club to take an expensive punt on him.
He becomes Forlan when a game has a bit of hype behind it
Having another poor game. Might get a tap in second half.
Not a great game so far.
What? Forlan scored when it mattered, either for clubs or country, he didn't hide or dissapear in big games.
Complete opposite of Forlan
Aye, strange comparison. Forlan was always a big game player. Even for us and when he struggled still managed to get 2 against Liverpool and that last minute winner against Chelsea.
Forlan was thrice the player Lukaku is, and he scored in big games.
That's a big-game Lukaku of comparisons.
Forlan seemed to only score in big games for us. Chelsea, Liverpool, Leeds etc. Loved a big game.
Oh god those step-overs.
Magnificent player
He is the most expensive PL signing ever isn’t he?
One of the games great bluffers
If your a striker needing a rebrand/boost in career just head to the seria a. Lukakus done it and now Tammy Abraham is also doing it.
Grealish
Grealish is.
Lukaku is close 2nd.. and 6th..
Top 10 most expensive PL signings:
1. Grealish £105m
2. Lukaku £101m
3. Pogba £94m
4. Maguire £78m
5. Sancho £76m
6. Lukaku £76m (From Everton to Manchester United)
7. Van Dijk £76m
8. Havertz £72m
9. Pepe £72m
10. Kepa £72m
Ah yes forgot about the Irishman
