Remember all the Lukaku criticts at the start of the season? I remember posting something about how good his ability was and seemed to get a lot of disagrees and a few negative coments. So how stupid do those critics feel now?

Mate, that's the Chelsea way. Kids are never given a proper chance to prove themselves. Maybe the FFP will help change the perspective bcos, like I've always said, I'll rather give a chance to youth than waste ridiculous money on overrated players. High time we started integrating youth into the first team. And above all, stability is a must, whoever comes in at the end of the day must be given time. Even if we don't win anything for two seasons, at least we'll have a strong and competitive squad. Both fans and owners shd lower their expectations a bit.

I remember at the start of the season that me and curt were saying how torres needed to go as soon as possible. We got responses sayin that we didn't know what we was talking about and that Torres would return to his former self. Now everyone is saying that he needs to go, if only people listened to what we was saying at the start of the season.

Blue con

If Lukaku wasn't at West Brom he wouldn't be the player he is now. If we kept him he wouldn't get regular games. It would be great if Romelu was going to get regular games next year I would think he would be a great second choice. But I'd prefer as he is still 19, he has another year at west brom where he can start week in week out and show he can dominate defenders at all clubs.

If we brought him back while bringing in a already finished product (Falcao/Cavani) he wouldn't see anywhere near as many minutes as he would as west brom.

He was a die hard Chelsea supporter before he joined and idolised Drogba. With six years to go until he reaches the age Didi joined at, I have to say (massive call) he could become a better player. The way he bullies defenders like Didi did and is 19yo he has all the time in the world to develop into the best striker in the world. Remind me who was behind the Lukaku, Courtois and KBD signings? That's right Emanulo.

Melbourne

To be fair in pre season he couldn't trap a bag of cement and his 2nd touch was a tackle. Melbourne is right he is better off where he is. Where he will get playing time and that goes for Piazon, Courtois, Chalobah etc. De Bruyne I would rather have than Marin he's got more to his game
