Romelu Lukaku

Romelu is a good guy, he didn't want to be an ass about it. He got a lot of stick from the Belgian media and a lot of Belgians that crucified him when he was playing at the reserves at Chelsea. Effectively calling him a dick and a money-chaser choosing for Chelsea at that age. I can imagine it wasn't easy for him so I can sort of understand his statements...
oh so he is taking out his anger on his local media by abusing a kid? Very mature I would say

As Yannick said,I don't think he was intending to be a dick,and there was no ill intention towards Praet(19) or Tielemans(16) in his tweet.
I believe it is just that the choice of words was rather unfortunate...

Praet(19) and Tielemans(16)

He wasn't targeting either of those, he was speaking in general about the Belgian youth implying that the Belgian competition is peanuts compared to neighboring countries. And if you have seen Anderlecht-PSG, you can't say he was wrong. So he meant that it could be better for young players to leave instead of playing in a highly inferior competition learning absolutely nothing.

As I said, I do understand that what he meant is right... But the way he did is not! And more importantly, he is not even in the position to do that in the first place!!

Yes, he has definitely helped himself moving to England... But he should maintain his image and not squander it away! Football stars spend loads of money on PRs for the same... He could as well have advised the kids in person, thereby helping them build their career, instead of gaining himself an image of a loudmouth.

Anyway, I do understand that I am probably over-reacting on it too

Well yeah, I agree, he shouldn't have said it. I read it while he tweeted it and thought it was very unfortunate and inappropriate which is the reason why he deleted it a few minutes later. But I can't say I don't understand him though.

TBF though,Anderlecht can hold its own rather OK against other French opposition,just that PSG are a class or two above everyone else in France&Belgium,thanks to their Qatari paymasters,don't you think?

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

Rumours are Barca want him. :lol:

well i've watched his games and he's a pretty good,finishing is good, height, strength, could hold up the ball, good at linking up with players. but considering his age i'm sure he'd want to play for a team that plays him week in week out.

He´s such a monster on my everton save in FM14 :lol: Too bad him, Courtois and De Bruyne are bound to play for Chelsea, would love to see them at a more likeable club.

In my Chelsea save too, scored 40 goals for fun. :lol: Absolutely annihilated Vidic today, he's surely going to play for us next season.

His first touch often eludes him but there's a lot to like about the young player, positively tormented Vidic like a ragdoll

That's what I thought the season before. Only to be pleasantly surprised once again by Mou's poor decision making :lol:
