The thank you card

Receive - Torres (but I still think Torres would have finished the season we bought him in with a respectable goal tally, most probably 20+, he was just suited to Liverpool and Gerrard)

We should send our thanks to PSG for Luiz, Barca/Arsenal for Cesc and Arsenal for Cole and Everton for Lukaku.

I stil remember the hordes of clueless rival fans who rushed their way onto our board after we didnt win the title last season, throwing around wild statements such as "yew wud av won wiv lukaku pmsl, jose iz cilly for selling 'im". Hope they all now realise that Lukaku isnt all that he is cracked up to be.

that's the thing mr. Chelsea, fans see a couple of good moments and think why isn't he playing, while the manager sees the player every day in training and is the best judge.

Apparently hallmark have sold out of thank you cards after a block buy from Southampton fc.

Slightly unfair on Lukaku, who is still only 21. Very few players are the real deal that young.Of course he is not Costa, who is 25.

I have to admit,I would like Lukaku at Chelsea,as Drog's will be 37 soon,and Remy ani't getting match fit..............so,if Costa got hurt,we play?

No problem with Torres,Eto or even Ba going,although Ba was a handy bustling sub to put on,but Lukaku has potential,imho.

Hate to disagree with you Mr Chelsea,but Lukaku's goals last season could have edged it for us.
I think him and Jose clashed,and that is it at the Bridge,ala Mata.

Tore

Everton are on a bad run,so Lukaku is too,but he is a goal scorer.

He has the first touch of a Rhino and the movement of a Hippo on land.....

He does have the first touch of Carlton Palmer,but he can score.Jose could have nutured him?

He would have nurtured him had he wanted to be nurtured but the fact is Lukaku wanted to be playing week in week out and to do that he had to join a lower level team than Chelsea.

That is why he ended up at Everton with little or no competition for places......until ironically Eto showed up

Lukaku is far from the finished product and his hold up play should be much better for a striker of his stature. He does know where the goal is though.

He got 15 league goals for Everton, with due respect to Everton you'd expect him to have netted a few more for Chelsea with the creativity they have/had. Even at 15 league goals that would have made him Chelsea's leading scorer...

It's not as simple as saying he'd have got you goals to win the league, given he out-scored Etoo and Torres combined you'd have thought you would have been closer. Hindsight is 20-20 though.

As for thank you cards, I reckon we'd get the mother of all cards from newcastle. And send it onto Chelsea. The Torres and Carroll deals were a disaster for both clubs.

£28m is a lot of money but he is only 21 years old, people shouldn't be writing him off so early. In the next few years he could very well end up proving to be worth the money. He's had an average season so far but he has acres of time on his side.
