What could be 'extremely overrated' about Premier League statistics? And don't forget Lukaku has never played with a quality midfield behind him. Not at Anderlecht, WBA or Everton. Exception is the Belgian national squad, where he only recently became first choice (injury Benteke) and scored 6...

A 'good' player... with a 'horrible' ball control? That makes sence. Now what is it exactly that you try to explain here? If he doesn't fit Barca it has nothing to do with his quality as a striker, but with the type of striker he is.

:lol: This guy scored 4 goals in two international friendlies, just before the start of the WC.

Indeed, since Anderlecht changed coaches 11 games ago, Tielemans got the confidence and the position he needed, and the youngster showed his incredible talent: not only technical but also tactical, the latter the main reason why Anderlecht came back from a desperate position and became champion.

Where would Atletico be without TC... And where would Barca be now, if it had TC.

Apart from what any party states. I really believe Courtois' place is in Camp Nou. He's already among the very best, and yet he still has margin to get better. Barca stuff.

And another winning goal for Lukaku, against Swansea City. I believe it's his 3th match scoring, in 4 games after his come back.

There wouldn't be much financial risk if Barcelona would buy him this summer, I presume. I just wonder what the Belgian would realise if assisted by guys like Xavi and Iniesta. He was the best youngster in the Premier League at West Bromwich Albion, with a poor midfield behind him.

For a start, he should leave Chelsea. It's obvious now Mourinho had to position Eto'o for financial reasons. The Chelsea policy isn't the right one for young (cheaply purchased) talents like Lukaku and for that matter Kevin De Bruyne as well. Now I read today Chelsea would be positive towards...

Lol, the 'rushing out his defence', his forward instinct, is how and why Manchester City became English champion, and probably will be again this season. It's his key trade mark. Very contemporary.

I follow this player from his revelation with Anderlecht age 16, and he's not a dreadfull technician at all. With Anderlecht he was leathal especially on counters (ask Ajax), very fast and high scoring rate. Spectacular goals. With a weak first touch you can't do this kind of stuff. But indeed...

Lukaku scores two goals in as many games, after coming back out of injury. This weekend the equaliser against Arsenal. Everton PL count: 11 goals (out of 22 games, I believe). Nice detail: seems like West Bromwich Albion without Lukaku, has dropped 10 places in the ranking.

Apparently he's not a 'Mou striker', as the Special One didn't keep him in the Chelsea squad anyway. And now, for the right price, he can even move to another club. For Lukaku's career, moving would be the best choice. Look at Courtois, he's a 'hostage' now and Chelsea blocks his career. If...

Lukaku is said now to be for sale for 28 million pounds by the end of the season. Mourinho wants a new striker who is more mature, but still sees the Belgian player as an important back up. Just as Kevin De Bruyne, who went to Wolfsburg, Lukaku should take this opportunity and change clubs.

He's only 20.

Good game. Excellent attidude and assist to 0-1 winning goal.

PSG away, on the other hand, was a very well 1-1 draw. Praet was outstanding. Tielemans only played few minutes. For the record.

De Bruyne, Kompany, Vermaelen, Witsel, Defour, Lukaku, Courtois, Mirallas, Dembele, Verthongen, Alderweireld, Bakkali, Mertens all moved abroad at young age. Virtually the whole present generation of the NT. Exception was Van Buyten. Do your homework. And De Bruyne stagneting? Seems to me...

Why? Basically Lukaku is right. In Belgian competition there isn't much progress to make, compared to top nations. He himself the best exemple.

Courtois was bought for 9M from KRC Genk and has a contract till 2016. I don't know how much top keepers are worth, frankly. 24M or more?
