Agreed. Ole and Utd will look very silly if Lukaku scores enough goals to get Chelsea the PL title. After all we are still after a no9 to replace him in the long term. I know the fanbase is divided on his time at Utd. I for one who have kept him. The sort of striker you need for the PL. People call him a flat track bully, but in the end its the games against the teams outside the top 6 that normally decide the title. Ronaldo, Henry etc, scored alot against against those sides. Those are the awkward games where you drop points, if flat track bullys like him score against those sides regularly then so what? Goals win games, which eventually wins trophies.
Hope he stays in Italy.
Lukaku was not good for our setup. Period. Which is why we sold him. He’s not as clinical as Cavani, can’t finish like Martial who, regardless of his fluctuations, does better with his first touch. And definitely doesn’t have the eye for goal that even Greenwood does at such a young age compared to Lukaku.
It’s all about systems. A player like Aguero wouldn’t have shined in my systems either.
But I definitely think Lukaku will enjoy Chelsea’s setup. The formation that Tuchel plays will get him enough balls to try and finish and he’ll definitely finish more than Werner ever did.
I would even go as far as to say players like Ziyech will enjoy having Lukaku around. A simple cross to a reliable big man to head in. Easy. With Werner, his connection was weak. The balls had to be fed to him perfectly.
