If we fans didn't support Chelsea & we were in Lukaku shoes, would you want to persist with a team, that keeps showing you the door, even though your a better striker than any of the current crop?
As a club we have treated this young man, with no respect at all.

Disagree completely, he is an amazing young striker, although does he really pose the threat that other Champions league winnings sides have in there striker role? No. Regardless of our other options, he is not quite mature and experienced enough to see through 30-50 highly competitive games in 1 season. He has not been shown the door, in fact we have been educated enough to let him get game time on loan, rather than sit on the bench waiting for 2-3 years wasting his potential. Yes he had a great pre-season, but against what, if any competition? I'am very excited for his future at Chelsea, and feel we have done our up most to progress his career with out pushing him into an early football grave. i.e Owen, Robinho, Jeffers, Adu etc etc.

Lukaku is not a mature striker. He maybe the most talented of the three but he is the least experienced. And experience is what makes you win top games. For me the bottleneck is Torres which he seems to prevent anybody decent coming in because of his wages. We need to offload him next summer for certain so that a striker that will take us to the next level comes in.

Mourinho knows how to get the best out of eto, and he is Torres after witnessing the super cup. So lukaku would have been 3 rd choice. Jose has been clever lukaku will play a second season in the Bpl gaining a whole seasons experience. So why chelsea fans are moaning is beyond me.

Thats now 3 years on loan
, not 2. It wouldn't surprise me if he walked away from Chelsea next year.
Lets face it, Torres, Ba & Eto'o are not going to frighten any top team.

Stop being so negative JNS, he won't leave

Remind me JNS - he spent last year on loan, and will be spending this year with Everton.

Where was his third year on loan?

Lukaku is good but is not yet at the level to lead the line at one of the world's top clubs.

Eto may well turn out to be a good 1 year deal, let's hope so.

Ba and Torres will be gone next year.

We put too many eggs in the Rooney basket, this led us to a last minute panic, all be it not as bad as Utd.

He spent his first season at Chelsea on the bench, not on loan. He was clearly unhappy with the situation and was quoted as saying he wasted a year of his career. He is the future of the club but right now it is better for him to go out and further develop as a player than spend a season getting frustrated at Chelsea.

Yeh I knew that Blue25, was trying to make a point to JNS. Would our bench be better experience than Evertons starting XI? Not in my opinion. Lukaku has said himself he wanted another season on loan if he wasn't going to be first choice for us. He has his head screwed on, he is a Chelsea fan, and when the time is right he will lead our line.
