Romelu Lukaku | Chelsea

What a tool. Talked such a big game about Chelsea being his dream club, and now throwing a hissy fit because it isn’t going well.
 
Despite what some would claim he is actually a very good striker it's just he's not nearly as good as he thinks he is and when he falls out of form it's astonishingly bad at times. I think he thinks he's one of the best strikers to play in the modern game but Shearer, Eto'o, Drogba, RVP, RVN, Aguero and Henry were on a much higher level.

That's the thing, if he accepted his limitations and knew his role like say Giroud he'd be considered an asset to most squads. The problem is he genuinely thinks he's a top tier player.
 
Pretty convinced we're keeping starting him
in the hope he gets in to form to either sell or then keep...

On the bench he rots and neither is possible.

Don't believe Tuchel can think he's our best central striking option given recent performances...
 
its not football related
Well. It is not about what he meant. He probably didn’t mean all the stuff he said in that SkyItalia interview. Everything is about perception.

This message on Snapchat was always gonna be seen as related to his current situation at Chelsea. It’s very stupid and immature of him to keep feeding this controversy.

That is the professional aspect. Perception is reality. A professional thinks about how his media will be perceived, is it good for the team, or a distraction. Rom is a very immature man.

I disagree, limiting his minutes to come against opponents/match situations that suit his skillset would help most of all. Ironically the way he was used at Christmas was the best way to utilise him in theory (obviously his ego would get in the way if we tried to do it reguarly), super sub at Villa, starter vs Brighton at home and nowhere to be seen when Liverpool came to town.

Lokk at Kepa for example, we will probably now get a semi decent fee for him whereas this time two years ago we'd have had to pay a club to take him and cover the wages.
 
I was saying in the other thread I really don’t see what Chelsea can do here.

He’s the second most expensive signing in PL history and one of the highest paid players in the world.

How do you move him on?!
 


Feck that's bad. He could well end up as most overrated player of all times considering how much money different clubs have spent on him.

It’s Chelsea, they always seem to find a way to move on players for extortionate amounts under Marina.
 
Worse signing of all time…?

Genuine question, and I actually believe Rom can do a job in the right set up, so I’m not against the guy - but feck me, HOW BAD a signing for Chelsea.

it’s a strange one really as he doesn’t fit them at all. Do you think Tuchel really wanted him? Werner is another. £150m worth

I think Hazard is the worst signing ever. But yeah terrible.
 
Shipping his fat arse to Inter is one of the very few positives these past few years

I absolutely don’t think Tuchel wanted him, no.

I think certain clubs (Utd and Chelsea certainly) have made signings in recent years where the owner / CEO is making the transfer not the manager.

There was A LOT of it in Woodward’s Utd era imo.

Of all time? Nah. He’s shite but they’ll move him on for something close to what they paid. It’ll probably go down as more of a Di Maria type signing. I still think Coutinho is the worst ever.
 
I just can't get my head around Tuchel wanting this guy. Surely he is an Abramovich signing.

If they move him on for half of what they paid I’d be surprised mate, genuinely.

How much was Coutinho to Barca?

His options are limited but I think if he moved again he’d go for 65-70m at least. Inter would probably pay that again.

Coutinho was 145m I think, of which they’ve recouped nothing and aren’t likely to - Barcelona actually paid him to play for Bayern on loan and he scored in the 8-2 game to knock them out :lol:

The Inter chairman has openly spoke about how much happier he is with Dzeko.

Our best hope is Simeone deciding on him for his annual flop striker signing.

It's Chelsea, they'll find some way to even make a profit on him.
 
Peaked at Inter in a weaker league. Time to go back to a lesser league and score some goals against relegation fodder to make himself feel better
