Lukaku speaks out!

Romelu Lukaku has taken a major swipe at Chelsea, the second player to do so in two days after sealing a loan move to West Brom.

According to The Sun, Lukaku said:

“I couldn’t see myself staying at Chelsea. I sacrificed a year of my career with them and didn’t want to put up with it any more. I am relieved to have found a solution. On the first day of pre-season I told the manager I wanted to leave.

Roberto Di Matteo told me I ought to think about Chelsea as there weren’t going to be many other strikers this season. But this is the time for me to think about myself.

I got sick of watching the others from the bench. I played only 12 games and when I was playing well they would take me off.

I lost my hunger for the game over the past year. As regards getting minutes on the pitch, I wasted my time. I am very happy to join West Brom — it feels like liberation.”

Sorry Lukaku but did you honestly believe you would have walked into the team? Did you honestly believe that you would have been considered ahead of Torres and Sturridge?

Like I said in my last post about your move, I felt sorry for you due to the fact that AVB would bring you on as a winger which isn’t your position but you still need to work hard, get your head down and earn the right to be selected.

You have to face facts that you have been bought to be a long term solution, someone for the future and the fact that even as you say, RDM told you to think of Chelsea as there wouldn’t be a lack of strikers this season, giving you more of a chance and you turned that down just shows how misguided you seem to be.

I really hope that the West Brom loan works out for you. It’s just a shame that you couldn’t just get on with it without speaking out!
