Lukaku. Yes or no

He should just keep quiet and get on with it.

No doubt he won't do anything v Liverpool and have about 10 touches which will just wind the Chelsea fans up even more
 

He's a strong player but I don't think he's suited to the quick pass and move style of Chelsea. I was quite surprised they bought him in fact.
He wouldn't fit in at LFC or City either. Too slow and not a presser.
He would do well for us again - a target for our wingers!

I really love Rom. I think I'd rather just keep DCL at this point.

I thought I read or heard that Tuchel gave an interview where he explained Chelsea going after Lukaku because they had moved Giroud on and needed someone who could play with their back to goal and bring others in to play.

I'm happy to be told it was all a mad dream, because I often dream of Tommy Tuchel, but Lukaku has never been suited to that role. If you've played as the striker sitting on the shoulder of the last man and scored bunches of goals, why wouldn't you get frustrated at being badly deployed, especially if your team is struggling for form?

Sorry about the punctuation and overall composition of this post, I am a bit worse for wear. Either way, happy new year, Big Ig, hope you have a good one.

Happy New Year to you too!

I don't remember that, I don't think bringing in Lukaku for a role previously filled by Giroud is a good idea on a bunch of levels including the one where Rom is going to be unhappy he's not a key player like he currently seems to be.

I think he'll outlast Tuchel though.
