Loaded, in his mid twenties and getting to play his football and live in Rome Awful business-bought back Lukaku for near on 100m and ship a top player out for cheap!

They’ll recoup most of that fee. Emerson pending to Lyon for £15m plus more out the door. Abramovich knows what he’s doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Lukaku is a machine but maybe you get 2/3 more years out of him at the very top level, not getting any younger. Chelsea have crazy attacking options now so right Tammy has left. I still think West Ham should have pushed boat out and gone for him, Antonio is almost glued together nowadays and they have no one behind him of any quality. They create loads of chances and Abraham would score loads there. Roma a good move for him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 All those years loaning him out paid dividends then. Top striker, yet Tom Lees always had his number. Funny old game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Am I the only one who doesn't really rate him? Feel he's going to be another Welbeck type player. Of course, i hope I'm totally wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, i hope I'm totally wrong. I think he's got more to him than Wellbeck. Have seen him once or twice in the flesh when on loan in the Championship and he was far, far too good for that level. Not sure he's quite at the level that Chelsea are right now tbh, but he's young enough to improve. Credit to the lad for taking the plunge and moving abroad though. Roma under Mourinho is not for the weak of heart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it works out for him, seems like a decent lad. Roma weren't great last season & Mourinho has been a bit inconsistent lately too, it's an interesting move for him.

markg Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Good move for him I think. Class player. For me, he is the second best English forward behind Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was Bayern that came in for Hudson-Odoi a couple of seasons ago, and fair play to the lad he wanted to go but Chelsea wouldn't let him. Personally I would go abroad - doesn't seem to be doing Bellingham or Sancho any harm , let alone Tomori and even Chris Smalling and Ashley Young are Serie A regulars. There's life outside a nice fat premiership reserves - loan out contract. Hopefully these Chelsea players will see others doing well and having a great life on the continent and consider it. He took my advice! Seriously, what a smart move this is - going somewhere that wants him, living in a beautiful city and experiening a great culture. Just hope he gets on with Mourinho.

I hope it works out for him, as you say it should be a good move and a great experience for him but as others have said it is also a brave move. Plenty of British players have gone to Italy with mixed success, even the best of them have struggled. As Ian Rush once said, he struggled to adapt as it was like living in a foreign country!

We had a big gap between the 80s / early 90s of players not going abroad, or it was very rare. Really only started again frequently after Sancho’s success 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't look that awful today. Lukaku is a different level to Abraham right now. If Abraham gets close to the striker Lukaku is now he will have done well.
