Well it is now ridiculously on

Lads, I know people have been talking about him going to Newcastle, but discussing Vanessa Feltz etc is well off topic.

She supports Newcastle doesn't she?

She'll be disappointed about Rom

On a serious note, is Lukaku a Chelsea fan? Is his idol Drogba? I seem to remember reading these things.

Will he not want to stay at Chelsea now? I hope not, but fear the worst.

That was true until abar a year ago.

He now supports Everton and adores Duncan Ferguson.

Just sign Rom lad and get it over and done with.

It's down to Jose. If he wants him, he'll keep him, defo. If he doesn't want him, he'll tell him to pee off if the right offer comes in.

I don't think Mouriniho wants Lukaku, he said that Drogba wasn't signing for old times sake but because he was still one of the best strikers in the world and was going to help them win stuff, at Chelsea Rom will be rotating with Costa, Torres and Drogba at Everton he is first choice when fit. Also Jose has said nothing about him in the press at all, if he was intending to play him you'd think that he would mention him and big him up a bit, he will know that Rom has concerns over the amount of game that he'd get if he stayed.

Those quotes from Ossie have flicked the switch back on. I give it 12 hours until the lightbulb blows though.

If he stays at Chelski he is really depending on their strikers getting injured to get a game. Lets be honest he is at best 3rd choice there at the moment...so no injuries there will mean he will be looking to get out in January again. Not very wise or ambitious to be depending on an injury course to progress your career. I think he realises this and wants a move...just waiting until the right time to see if a CL club comes in...but time is running out for him/and us very soon

I think you may have read an article that compared the two because

A) they are both big
B) they are both black

The media loves this, small hard black midfielder is the next Makelele, tall hard black midfielder is Vieira.

Common knowledge is that Mou and Lukaku don't see eye to eye.

That's what I thought.

These comment were from when he was at WBA

Lukaku said: 'Am I fed up being compared with Drogba? Yes. In the beginning it was nice to hear that, but every player wants to make his own name. 'I want to make my own name. Drogba was my big idol and so was my father, who also played in Belgium. 'I looked also to my father but really I want to make my own style of play, I want to be myself. I want the people to say "this is Roman Lukaku, not the new Drogba
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...u-Lukaku-tired-comparisons-Didier-Drogba.html

I think initially Lukaku was a Chelsea fan but a year sat on the bench (he was very upset about his treatment under AVB http://www.theguardian.com/football/2012/may/21/romelu-lukaku-villas-boas-chelsea) plus two years out on loan only to see yet again an aging striker & Torres ahead of him in the selection may have cooled that quite a bit.
