Lukaku up top with Werner and Havertz either side is going to be deadly.

We can mix it up with Pulisic & Ziyech to.

Absolutely spot on, Werner will start on the left of a front 3, great replacement is Pulisic, and maybe Tuchel will play 433

I was against signing him initially but since he’s signed I’m going to 100% back him and hope he does well for us. Hopefully he proves all us haters wrong and leads us to a premier league title or another champions league. Welcome back home Romelu!

Wow, Mount, Havertz and Pulisic, you think this is Kindergarten football? So you will want to play against Man Utd, with Varane, Maguire, Luke Shaw, Bissaka etc. You will be playing Mount, Havertz and Pulisic? 

Talking of Mount, we need to bring up this issue, I don't rate Mount, I don't rate him above Barkley, sincerely. If Mount knows how to play shot, Barkley knows how to play shot. So how is Mount better than Barkley? 

For God's sake, we even bought Pulisic, and people will not allow this guy to play. He should be playing our left wing, instead it is this Mount that is playing there. 

If people do not understand this 343 formation that we are using, then they should keep shut. The last time we used the system under Conte, you could see the two players that played behind the striker were Hazard and Willian or Pedro. They were technical players who could create chances for the striker.

They must be able to pass to the striker. But Mount can't do that, and I feel we are very poor in attack as a team now. I keep saying that we are bad in attack. I don't think we are a good team if we are bad in attack. I dont think we can be thinking of winning the premier league if we are not good in attack.

So please, the two players that should play behind Lukaku should be Pulisic and Havertz.

 

You idiot.

same here...i wont be gutted if united or somebody else hijacked this move..

but if it goes through i will be fully behind him..well there is no choice as a fan..at the end of the day trophies for the club is what we all want..

Some reports say that we will sign him for LESS than 100m. That's great, well done Marina and Cech and everyone involved in this transfer.

Lukaku is severely underestimated. Seriously. Lukaku scored 17 league goals at WBA who are a relegation battling team. 15 league goals in his first season at Everton. In his last 2 seasons at Everton he got 18 league goals then 25 league goals. His United record was not too bad, bar his last season but other than that his goalscoring record is really, really good. All those chances we created last season, Lukaku will definitely finish a lot of these. He is a natural no.9 and one of the best around. I rarely recall him being injured, score goals and is well in his prime. He is going to be big for us and can see our attacking being deadly next season. Perfect signing.

Will be very interesting to see what Tuchel's does in attack with the players he's got now.

Lots of alternatives with different characteristics. If you want to counter you'd probably want Werner - Lukaku - Havertz, if you want the best and most creative passer in there you'd probably look for Ziyech, best "allround" and you'd probably look at Mason and if you wanted the best dribbler you'd look towards Pulisic if he's in form.

Lukaku will almost certainly be nailed on for every game so the competition for the last two spots will be very tough.

I wonder if Mason is the odd man out. We seem to be dead set on staying with out 343 system and I would assume Havertz and Werner start most games.

I think Mount, Lukaku and Havertz will get most minutes, with Werner not far behind since he can play as a backup striker or a left forward. Pulisic and Ziyech will struggle for minutes however, they better hope for a 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-1-2-3 etc.

What a pile of old sh*t..

We are champions of Europe with Mason Mount in the team..

It would have to take a lot to keep Mount out of the XI in my view. As important as he was for us in the second half of last season especially you'd think Tuchel wants him in the side.

But I suppose anything could happen if Werner/Ziyech, Lukaku and Havertz started the season like a house on fire before Mount is match-fit again. But I think we'd be a better side with Mount in there somewhere generally speaking.

I'm not against him. We all want the best for Chelsea. So this is the truth, and I will say it. I mentioned Hazard and Willian, it has always been like that. U can see that with Neymar and Mbappe at PSG, u can see that with Rashford and Sancho at Utd etc. We need creative players on the wings. Skillful players who can get us out of difficult situations and give passes to the striker.

I don't even think Mount is a winger, I think he's like a Lampard. But my point is he's too young. I feel we got into this situation in the season when we had transfer ban and we used the academy players that we had.

At the minimum, for three years, he should still go and develop in a lower team, by then his muscles would have grown enough to play for us, and by then he will be able to do great things for us.

But for now, he is not developed enough to play for us. Yes there are some players who can play well at that age, but also, some players need time to develop to get to that level, and I feel Mount falls in the latter category.

The right line up we should be using in our attack is Lukaku, Pulisic and Havertz. Not just a player who gets the ball and not minding if there's an obstacle in front, he just runs into them, then we lose the ball again and be at the risk of our opponents attacking us.

I feel Pulisic and Havertz will be able to give passes to Lukaku and we will be fine.

Some might say it's copium, but I'm quite optimistic about this signing. Hope he absolutely bangs them in!

That is why you lot have problems,  you say great things are old sh*t. If the style that people like Ronaldinho, Hazard, Willian , Messi and co played is what you call old sh*t, then you are heading for a collapse.

That is what can give you success in football, so if you don't use it, then you want to fail.

You call me names, but you don't have a single analysis of football in your brain. I just did an analysis of the team for you, what I feel will make us have success, you cannot fault it, you have no single thing to say about what I said, all you can say is Mount is better than Barkley. Can Mount play a better shot than Barkley?

What other thing does Mount know how to do? Because I don't know. Can he pass more than Barkley? Tell me. 

If you can fault anything I said, then bring forward your argument.

If you hadn't noticed this is the Lukaku thread. 

And I call them like I see them and that's all I'll say, Mr. Obvious troll.

I think technically Barkley is better than Mount, yet Barkley cannot close down or break with the speed that Mount can. 

I would not be surprised to see us go with:

                  Werner Lukaku

              Kova  Mount  Kante

Chilwell                      Kaunde

       Rudiger Silva Christensen

                      Mendy

Mason Mount is in #4 place in most chances created for 2020-2021 season:

https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/5-players-created-chances-premier-league-season-2020-21

He is ranked in 6th place of all the premier league players on whoscored, wich looks at both the defensive and attacking contribution for his team:

Anyway, Lukaku…
