He was class at Inter and will be so at Chelsea. He'll be as good as Drogba was for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Squad depth will be important though and that is maybe where Man City eclipse Chelsea. Lukaku looks awesome in this team, but what happens if he gets injured? They sold Giroud and Abraham. Man City don't have a good number 9 at all, but proved they can win the league by having a world record number of 7/11/10's instead! And they added to that in Grealish, despite already winning the title so comfortably. Still if Lukaku stays injury free they can go all the way.

Carl the Llama Posted 22 August 2021 Share Posted 22 August 2021 12 minutes ago, StriderHiryu said: Pure rubbish that isn't it? Lukaku doesn't have as much finesse as Kane and Lewandowski, but is faster and is more powerful. Already in this game Lukaku is holding it up really well and allowing Mount and Havertz to join the attack, which is something that Werner could never give them. He's in the top 3 out and out strikers in the world along with the other two mentioned, and hence a brilliant signing for Chelsea. He does it with Vards too, permanent chip on the boy's shoulder 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zear0 Posted 22 August 2021 Share Posted 22 August 2021 This is the most half arsed press I've ever seen from Arsenal. They're just going through the motions whilst Chelsea just easily work it around them. Great finish from James there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea are a disgrace with their spending, they were one of the clubs who started this ridiculous spending and buying players simply so other teams can't have them or simply so they are no threat to them, however Man City have blown everyone out the water and took it to the next level. For this reason I see them as the only threat to Man City and the lesser of the two evils. Atleast Chelsea are somewhat entertaining to watch, playing forward and wanting to go forward rather than boring the opposition into submission like Man City do in most games.

DerbyshireFox Posted 22 August 2021 Share Posted 22 August 2021 Pre covid we were fairly even on the pitch with Chelsea, but Tuchel (and the investment of course) have really moved them to another level. All well and good having the resources but they’ve used them well, and they look a very strong threat to Man City this year. Lukaku looks a different animal to his Man United days, will score for fun this season. Their depth, other than the jury being out still on Werner, is every bit as good as Man City’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's useful enough to have simply for how much he scares defenders, but I was strangely calm seeing him run through us last week. He's an athlete but he isn't a very good footballer, that's my view. You don't get to play top tier football without being good at football no matter how athletic you are. Is vardy only good because he runs faster than people? Or barnes?

In the last 20 odd years, I could say maybe Heskey - huge money at the time. Kante - release clause Magrez - wanted to go, huge money Maguire - ridiculous money Who are these players who are decent that we have let go?? The ones you mention are ones we'd have probably kept if given the chance. There are very few, apart from maybe Kramaric that have excelled once we've moved them on.
