March 9, 201313 yr Sending him out on loan was one of the few decisions of the board that proved right.
March 9, 201313 yr Torres also could have Lukaku's numbers if he played for WBA. Surely this is not a serious statement ?
March 9, 201313 yr Against Swansea I thought lukaku was good but not great. Excellent play mixed with wild play. A great goal but some wild shots. Clever passes and ridiculous flicks. There would be a lot more pressure at Chelsea. We give people we don't like hell. Edited March 9, 201313 yr by ozboy
March 9, 201313 yr I really do think Lukaku could become another legend for us. We need to play to his strengths and with Mata Hazard Oscar we've got no reason why we can't. Give him time I'm sure he can be a world class striker for another 10 years, hopefully with us.

March 10, 201313 yr Haha - sounds reminiscent of a certain outrageous striker we had not so long ago... Aye, that chris sutton fella was great....
March 10, 201313 yr Haha - sounds reminiscent of a certain outrageous striker we had not so long ago... That's exactly what I thought when I read that. Drogba was a very unrefined player when he joined us. His scoring record was good but he was wildly unpredictable in terms of his touch, skill and control. I would bring Lukaku back in a heartbeat. Sure, he won't be the finished article but he will be an asset and he will develop into one of the world's great strikers. We just have to give him a chance, and by that I mean not sign someone who will stand in his way. That would be a crime, IMO. Lukaku has the spirit and the will, the strength and the character, the ambition and the cojones. In short, he is everything that Torres is not.
March 15, 201313 yr Looks like he is coming back next season; http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-transfers-romelu-lukaku-loan-1764590 http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/197643.html# Good news.
March 15, 201313 yr http://www.lifesapitch.co.uk/laptv/two-minute-warning/liverpool-eye-butland-lukaku-to-fulham-villa-target-rose/ anybody still remember this gem, and this fat, sorry excuse for a pundit calling lukaku 'the worst 20M player hes ever seen'? Edited March 15, 201313 yr by Lane
March 15, 201313 yr I think Chelsea will want him to be with the squad for pre-season training and following that and our dealings in the transfer market I would imagine a decision will be made with where he will play next season.
March 16, 201313 yr I can't see any reason why he shouldn't be here next season even if he's not first choice. He will get plenty of game time and will give us a different option.
March 16, 201313 yr http://www.lifesapitch.co.uk/laptv/two-minute-warning/liverpool-eye-butland-lukaku-to-fulham-villa-target-rose/ anybody still remember this gem, and this fat, sorry excuse for a pundit calling lukaku 'the worst 20M player hes ever seen'? Made all the more amusing by the fact that Lukaku did not cost 20M.
March 16, 201313 yr For some reason that number stuck with the media. Don't remember what the accurate number was but it was less than £20M.
March 16, 201313 yr 13M with escalators potentially rising to 17M or 18M at most, as far as I recall.
April 16, 201313 yr To be fair to him, I don't think Fergie utilises him as a central striker very often. Imagine how many Lukaku could have banged in with the minutes Fernando has gotten, mind boggling.
