Think I said similar in not so many charactersAnd that is why he's not a top player. Remove service into the box he's anonymous. The obvious comparison is Drogba..a great goalscorer and a great outfield player. Unlike Drogba he doesn't hurt teams when hes not scoring.
I'm not convinced he could do the job Diego Costa does for Chelsea. Watched the Belgium match the other night when Lukaku scored a brilliant equaliser...the problem is he did nothing other than that. Say he was able to hold the ball up, or turn a defender with pace, or pull defenders all over the place...chances are Belgium would have scored a lot sooner and won. Just being a good goalscorer can mask the negative effect such a player has on a team. I'd take a 15 goal a season forward who makes the entire forward line function really well than a 25 goal a season forward who makes it function badly.
