HEY EVERYONE I IGNORE SOMEONE LOOK AT ME
So in the end, he scored 15 goals in 44 appearances, 8 of them in the league (from 26 appearances), 1 of which was a penalty.
Let's see how the experts fared in their predictions from august:

So, how many goals will he get in all comps? Predictions please!
0.
Season ending injury in his first PL game.
This is on me here, but I still don't get it with him. I just don't rate him that highly at all. I know someone can bring up his stats and the fact that he's scored 5 million goals, but he doesn't do it for me.
Just one of those players I guess.
Think he'll get 15-20 goals
Surely 25+
35 this season, 27 the season after then 18. You will then sell him to Spurs.
25+ goals in all competitions. I am however interested to see how many are decisive or winners, or in 'big' games.
Think this will be great for Werner though.
Chelsea were desperate for a striker and Lukaku is a great buy for them. He will get 25 goals this season and he rounds of a well drilled team, he should propel them to title challengers.
Prediction: 25-30 goals in all comps, some outstanding performances and some godawful ones (mostly in the biggest games) . Will be a good signing in a lot of ways.
No one's opinion of him will change no matter what he does on here
They should have signed a target man to play alongside Werner. Tuchel is making the same mistake Mourinho did if he thinks Lukaku can hold up the ball.
That being said, he'll score 25+ goals in all comps and the fee won't look so bad (until someone signs a superior player, seven years his junior, for €50m less next summer - hopefully that someone is United).
I genuinely do not think he’s gotten better, just the standard of opposition he was facing was lower. I think he’s going to look like the same Lukaku we sold.
He will score about 20-25 goals for the season. He likely will not score or be useful in most, if not all of the big games. In the grand scheme of things the goals he scores aren’t going to really affect their league position or how their season goes.
I’ll revisit this post at the end of the season to see how accurate it is.
My bet is that Chelsea try to sell him and move on to another striker in around two seasons.
Average player. Will get 15 in the league and 20/25 overall which again is nowhere near enough to justify carrying his shocking build up play. Pretty much solidifies Chelsea out of the title race too as there’s no way he scores against the top 6!
30-35
20-25
27.
18 in the PL.
I'm stunned at this transfer fee . Huge fee in a Covid world and for Lukaku.
Just madness.
Will he take penalties? I'd say between 25-30 without penalties
His Premier League-record is 17, 15, 10, 18, 25, 16 and 12. His United-record wasn’t very impressive and little suggests he’ll break 20 league goals for Chelsea either. What happens in Italy is pretty uninteresting stuff, it’s a shit league. I would put him at 17-19 goals, but nowhere near what Kane is capable of playing 35+ games.
Paying 100M for a 28 year old and very heavy Lukaku is nothing short of insane. United-fans were mostly thrilled when he was shipped away for a big pile of cash, we all remember how he messed up attacks and made it difficult for other players to thrive. Have goals against Finland and Torino really clouded Abramovich’s judgment this bad? Feck me.
I think he'll get 27 to 32 goals.
@BusbyMalone and @cyberman did well. @Cloud7 did not revisit his take at the end of the season.Lukaku has to be the crappest "top" player in history.
It's amazing that someone who can't do some of the basics has made it so high.
However, we all know he'll storm 20 league goals against the fodder, and look absolutely clueless in the big games.
