People forget that the season he came on loan to us was the season before the 2014 world cup. He sits on the bench for a year at Chelsea, he doesn't get on the pitch for Belgium in Brazil, simple as. All of this nonsense about him not having the heart or desire to stay and fight for his place is just that, nonsense. Fella wanted to play in the WC and for that he needed regular playing time.Tbh I think that Villas Boas did us a huge favour, the year when he basically never played Lukaku seems to have made a big impression on Rom that he is utterly miserable without game time and then seeing the same writing in the wall with Mourinho think he'll be cautious about moving unless he is guaranteed a starting spot.
Also seeing how lack of regular minutes affected Bony who has a similar frame might have been instructive as well.
Sorry Dave, thought you meant this season.
Err 6th would show progress.
where's that new contract
Breaking the top 6 is the next step. 6th next year would show considerable progress.
If you consistently make that top 6 year after year you can expect to make the top 4 at some point because every club in that top 6 currently demands CL football and probably will get it within the next few years.
Anyone?
