Calibrator:
Considering the number of trophies the club has won within the last two decade, which curse are you talking about?



Can a club with a curse hanging over their lead striking position win the UEFA champions league and Europa league 4 times in the space of 9 years?
Though, it may be seen as the curse for any player at that position but it's not, because Chelsea don't use to build the team around the striker but collective effort of the team just because they are not after the entertainment match but winning. And this is the reason why it was very difficult for Man city couch to has upper hand on them in last season.

The guy will flop big time. The fans are not with him. There was no excitement within the Chelsea fan zone on his signing.

I hope other players will support him or else, he would be racially and verbally abused.
How do those points you gave determine how well he will fare at the club? The fans were really excited when Werner was signed, but it's a different story we have today. It's not all about the fans, it's about self belief and determination and I can see that Lukaku has that.

There is nothing wrong with the number....it's just the mentality of the people towards it...Tammy Abraham did well with No9 jersey. Even if the number is "cursed" one day it will be broken by someone. That's what I believe.

Most of the strikers names aside Maib falcao have almost same thing in common...they ain't really the kinda striker suited traditionally for Chelsea...the likes of Torres...Morata...Higuaín only shot themselves on the foot playing for Chelsea....Chelsea traditionally succeeds everytime they have a bully as a striker....most of the players named here are either a runner or NT really traditional kinda striker.....Drogba and coasta are still the most successful strikers in years and they also have thing in common....dey are big and bully kinda strikers....Chelsea play slow possession football and all they need is that big man they can always throw the ball to....no one fits that role than Romelu...the failed on his first attempt but that was cos he had Drogba a bully at his prime ahead of him....he might not score for fun but i can categorically tell u if they play to his strength he will score at least 20goals this season

Don't mind him. Lukaku even has more goals than their almighty Kane.
SouthSouth1914:


Lukaku scored 27 goals in his debut season for MAN U. Is manu in Spanish league?

Lukaku has a total of 113 goals and 35 Assists in the Premier League!!

You guys just talk like parrot without information.

U failed to mention those that succeeded with the no.9 jersey in chelsea fc. Lukaku will succeeded. It is all about coping with the pressure that comes. For a player like lukaku who is a bully with good composure, he will score for fun.

Yes.

Remove Torres for there, that goal he scored at Camp Nou in 2012 Semifinals against Barca is my favorite Chelsea goal.

I celebrated that goal no be small, I shouted and shouted till I lost my voice (I'm not lying)

I used it to compensate the worst goal Chelsea conceded, and that was against Barca in 2009 by Andrea Iniesta.
That was the first and only time I cried because of Football.

Torres repaid that 50 million pounds with that single goal in 2012.
That Iniesta's goal shocked the whole world

You don't understand the simple illustration, their is difference between sells, those you mentioned were forcefully sold, the club has no options than to sell the players due to the forces from the purchasing sides, but for Lukaku, he was sold due to surplus to requirements.

I understood d angle u are coming from..

But, my point is dis write up shldnt have came up at all.. because there was NO curse...

It's baseless.. They are a winning team.

You write dis stuff against a losing team...you know d losers..

If it's a team like arsenal, Wolverhampton, new castle and the likes.. You may really pin-point dis kind of article... Their lack of success could be related/attributed to under-performance of their striker(Just for instance, am not saying their striker is actually underperforming cos I don't follow their stats..befor u misquote)...then, u can call it a curse for them..

But, in dis case, anyone can score..as long as they play interesting games and win games even thrashing big-big clubs e.g Real Madrid, Barcelona and stubborn clubs e.g AthletiCo Madrid, etc and up-coming clubs e.g Man City..

Once again, d author of d article didn't dispute whether Chelsea is a winning or not neither did it juxtapose Chelsea with any other team. It only tried to look at d performances of d Chelsea players who dorned d number 9 jersey. I still don't see d relationship between what u said and d article

Seems u don't get d politics in article writing..

After establishing the fact that an article shldnt have come up at all...

When u want to downplay an article, you purposely deviate completely from whatever written.

Pls note and respond not anymore.except u want to smile.
