I think he needs a coach who would be able to teach him some striker skills. Wenger, perhaps?

PS: I saw a typo. It’s Jupiler Pro League.

Aside from that very last sentence, I couldn’t disagree more.
I’ve been following Lukaku ever since he was 14 years old. Back then, he was, and therefore still is, a huge Chelsea fan. I think he just expressed himself in a wrong matter after winning the CL, or it might even have been due to a bad translation, because he said in the Belgian newspapers that he felt *he* didn’t win the CL and therefore part of the glory of winning it while looking at the final from some seat went missing. He was just disappointed that season to see that there was no confidence in him and that he didn’t get much chances, even though Torres and Sturridge were messing it up.

I am Belgian by the way, that’s why I said: it might have been due to bad translations, because in the dutchspeaking part of Belgium the articles states that he was disappointed.

And.. ‘Lukaku a spoilt brat’?! He was the star of Belgium when he was sixteen and stayed humble all the time. There’s a big difference between being spoilt and being convinced of your own ability.

How about a Falcao, Ba, Lukaku combo in a in a 442 or 433 set up? Or 4411, Falcao or Lukaku top with Ba in the hole just behind.

Someone once famously said that there are statistics, statistics and damn lies! The ball is firmly in Lukaku’s hands to prove himself fit for a top 4 side whilst out on loan. He did not make himself popular with the Chelsea faithful by acting like a spoilt brat in suggesting that he couldn’t touch the CL trophy and didn’t care about the clubs success in winning it as he didn’t feel a part of it. This from someone who had previously stated that Drogba was his hero and that he was a Chelsea fan? The boy has a lot of growing up to do and a lot of improvement in his game to make himself a Chelsea regular. It’s possible but my guess is that he wont make the grade for the very top tier of football. I cannot see him at a Barcelona, Real Madrid, Man U, Man City, Chelsea, Juventus, Milan, Bayern etc etc. More Fulham than Chelsea I suspect. .
