My Honest Thoughts On Lukaku

By Adedayo Ayodele

LUKAKU

Hope everyone is having a good day. I know we're all geared up for the community shield coming our way soon but I thought I'd also drop my opinion on this Lukaku-ish. You know. Something y'all could quickly go through before the CityVSArsenal game.

The boy has the talent to be one of the best strikers in world football. Pace, brute strength, height and a wicked left foot. The good thing is he can still improve all of them. His first touch and hold up play are his weakest attributes but again, he can improve on these over time. When he joined Chelsea I remember him saying he was a Chelsea fan since being a boy and Drogba was his hero. 

Honestly, every time he was on the pitch for Chelsea, he was a disaster. He did not put in one good performance for them. They loaned him out twice and he has done great and improved a lot, so I was sure that this year he would be number 2 behind Costa and fight for a place. 

Unfortunately, unlike Drogba (who always fought for his place no matter who they bought), he doesn't have that fight in him. He wanted to be number 1 and that was it (like come on, United have Rooney, RVP, Javier and even Welbeck, Man city have 4 strikers) did he not cop on that at this level there is competition.

So his biggest problem is his attitude, constantly in the press and saying the wrong things (look at Shaw who responded admirably about LVG). So I am sad to see a very talented player leave. 

Hopefully everton can help him grow up so he can be as good as he can... but I don't think any big team would want a player who doesn't want to fight and continually be challenged? or maybe I'm wrong.
