I don't think it's any coincidence that we've been on a cracking run of form since he went to Hull. Shame he didn't go a week earlier, chances are we'd still be in the cup if he had.
 

From Wiki:

In the Premier League, players on loan are not permitted to play against the team which holds their registration (section 7.2 of rule M.6).
Must have changed the rules then, it was always an unenforceable gentlemans agreement.
They couldn't enforce it due to the rules about none interference with another clubs players. They had to agree not to play the players.

I know, I know...it's The Mail...but the first article I could find.

The rules that prevent Lukaku turning out against Chelsea, but leave him free to damage their rivals, were introduced to prevent gentlemen’s agreements taking place on a nod and a wink basis between managers and chairmen.

Manchester United and Everton entered one over Tim Howard, the goalkeeper who moved to Goodison Park permanently in 2007 on the condition he did not turn out against his former club that season.

Instead of reforming the loan system, however, all the league did was make gentlemen’s agreements official. It no longer required a cosy agreement behind closed doors; the Premier League removed the player from the fixture against his true owners, by law.
