My man won one league title and acting like he is prime zlatan or Drogba.
Exactly, Bumkaku’s so overrated. Never shows up in big games
@@idontmakecontent4870 If I could remember correctly 1 goal in 19 games against top six opponents at united and he normally scored like the last goal in winning performances, it was less than 5 games that I can remember where man actually won us the the match.
Hey Alex you couldn’t have said it any better🤣🤣🤣
In his mind, he is the only true competitor of Ronaldo😆😆
Dumbkaku
🙄
Imagine being intimidated by Werner so much that you wanna go back to Italy
🤣🤣🤣
How??? Is Werner too playing???
Nah, there's something with Tuchel teams, its not just Lukaku. Christensen and Rudiger have similar tensions behind the scenes. Happens often to Tuchel, something about his man management isn't right.
That's a good joke. A barn door isn't intimidated by Timo Werner.
@@mart4414 Tuchel is a tinka man ,imagine believing in Hudson Odoi and havertz more than lukaku,,,imagine lukaku cost 97 m but he has played fewer games than the 2
He was injured for a month during October, then he came back in November and played a few games but wasn't match sharp, then got Covid again. I don't know how he has put the blame on Tuchel and the system 🤔
exactly
Was not Match sharp, are you and Tuchel the doctor? We need a striker, we are looosing, a striker wants to play and you are making excuse for him, I don’t get it. What did you buy him for? To warm bench and criticize
@@osemuihonre2380 do you even watch the matches? Did you watch how he played after the injury before he got Covid? His movements were slow and laboured, don't just watch match highlights or look at match scores and act like an expert. Match sharpness has nothing to do with being physically okay so what would the doctor know about it? If the player is not quick and agile on the pitch, then the manager will obviously look to other players who are
Lukaku speaks Italian but not common sense. So don't expect him to understand you.
@@osemuihonre2380 obviously you don’t know much about football. If you do, you’d know that you don’t rush players to a match after injuries or illness.
Did you watch his performance in the West Ham match?
No player should be bigger than a club.
I don’t like this idea that players are getting away with consequences of big moves. You made the decision, own it.
whose getting away from their consequences?
It was his dream club. Weird for him to complain 4 months in, in which he was also injured.
@@LetsRaZe Like gabb said, he was being honest about no playing time and you guys loose your minds.
@@Yob365 that’s reductive. He begged for Inter to take him back, called them the best fan base in the world, and apologized to them. All while he’s 4 months into a new contract after a 100m move. Gab is wrong on this and so are you
Tuchel is a static man who is using wrong players at the left back. A one way traffic coach.
Love it when a player thinks the team revolves around rather than he should adapt his game to the team.
If he’s leading the line last season high chance we wouldn’t have won it.
No way he is pulling the Giroud against athletico just to think of it 😂
That has been CR7's career.
There's nothing wrong about expressing your frustration with the coach for not playing, but to hint about wanting to return to inter, given he's just arrived at chelsea, crosses the line for me.
Are you going to cry about it

He can be that thick. He was.
Oh you have no idea
That's Lakaka for you.
@@tathagatabishayee9345 😂😂😂😂😂
I admit the context can be misconstrued but there have always been generic answers from footballers and Lukaku should have known better. That said, he should not have mentioned Tuchel system and the simple answer about going back to Inter should have been like "I would love to go back one day but now my focus is at Chelsea".
@Danny Tallmage He speaks six languages so I would suggest that his level of intelligence is much higher than you assert it to be.
@Danny Tallmage Perhaps dude but when I listen to him speak, he seems much more reflective and articulate than a lot of other footballers.
@Danny Tallmage you're just a hater!! I've seen you commenting trash everywhere about lukaku get a life man, jealousy is a sickness, you will never achieve anything near to what lukaku had
Hit the nail on the head brother
@@tekumforche2160 so you're going around shadowing @Danny innit
Lukaku is not serious. If I was a Chelsea fan I would be fuming 🤬
I was very worried but it sounds like it's a translation issue.
It is a translation issue...ppl just looking for drama.....as well as the media...Am a cfc fan and am not even worried... TT saw the interview long ago and still played him... TT is not daft...am sure he'd b surprised rn how d media twisted it...cos humans like drama honestly,I watched d interview twice and actually reasoned like a human being,not someone looking drama and I realized everything was misquoted.
Eg. When he said he'd return, he said while he was still at the top and Silva is 38 and playing at d top....now the media said HIS PRIME...and y'all are falling for it....I've seen enough to just no when things are exaggerated.
@@Itsgold123 No he did not. Have you watched TT's interview ??????
@@ritzmarcos7733 did u hear when TT said it's easy to pick things out of context or the part where he said he didn't see it like that or did u mute that part...u lot really love the drama
@@Itsgold123 He did not like the noise created by Lukaku. Go watch it. I am a die hard fan of Chelsea.
"I want to go back to Inter Milan while I am in my prime". Dude's got only 4-5 years of his prime. You think we spent 100 million for his two years of time in Chelsea?? More comments from our striker: Inter is my heart repeat and inter fans are best (repeats it six times) . Advisee Martinez to not come to Chelsea cuz he will be back by then into Inter. What you make out of it??

In fact will accept his absence happily
Tuchel was simply trying to protect him after coming back from injury/covid. If he rushed him there was a chance his injury got worst.
Protection my foot. Say that to the birds
I'm an Inter supporter and I'm from Italy so I can say this to you. You guys kind of exagerated certain things and there were some translation mistakes. the 2 big ones were 1 when he says he's not happy about his current situation he didn't sound to me like he was referring to Tuchel,it is not definetely maybe he really meant Tuchel who knows but more probably he meant the injury or himself for not performing. 2 he says that he hopes to come back to Inter when he's still at a high level! You guys translated Top Level. also this interview was 3 weeks ago so he hasn't gone mad. Anyway this is just what I got from the clips of the interview. There is still no full interview out
edit: one day later: Look everybody this was when it was still just clips,quotes,editing magic and the whole thing wasn't out. So after I saw the whole thing. What do I say? First off Tuchel's tactics which the whole UK is blaming him for. He wasn't happy JUST for that! He talked about his fitness in the sentence JUST before! And also in the whole 30 min. interview he talked about Tuchel 3 times in under 1 min. ? I would be more upset about the rest which was all about Inter Inter Inter he went on and on about Inter,it was a love letter basically and you don't do that in these circumstances. I thought of him being naive for doing this at all and he was laughing and joking,it seemed like he was at a friends party here and there,so on some sentences he wasn't serious. The details of his transfer where more interesting for us than for you. He could have kept for himself the low-excuse of the renew of his contract ... (and I had it with the racist campaign against our owners). About Inter fans it's kind of a split 80-20 ratio of "you can stay there" and "ok come back" and I'm on the 80% side. To wrap this all up well we certainly gave the world 2 of the most unique drama queens that ever lived. We exported Icardi to PSG and Lukaku to Chelsea. I hope you can deal with it yourself. happy new year
It's the media, they like to spice things up
Alexander ha chiaramente detto che non vuole tornare a fine carriera ma prima, ha 28 anni 😂
I appreciate you actually saying this because so many Chelsea fans are pissed and it’s all because none of them want to acknowledge that he’s a Belgian speaking Italian so he’s not exactly going to be able to do it in a way where the English translation is going to come off in the same way. Every Italian I’ve seen speaking about this has said the exact same thing but everyone’s just so mad about Chelsea’s current state that even though he Didn’t say anything bad the timing sucks so the media couldn’t wait to blow this out of proportion
That's facts. I understand Italian, and I listened to the excerpt on RUclips. Genius! Now EVERYBODY will want to listen to the whole interview. This could not have been PLAYED better, nor released at a better TIME, not for Chelsea, but for Sky Italia😄
firstly , see the contradictions in ur own statements. on one hand u say 'translation mistake', then u r urself unsure what he means. the literal translation is correct, and that is what we are all talking about. whatever he means, it is difference in interpretation, not translation.
he is not a 23 24 yr old guy. he is freaking 28, the prime for a striker. chelsea bought him for 5 yrs. so either we let him go at 33, thats not really high level for most strikers ( maybe he can be the exception like lewa or benz etc). or u guys buy him for cheap in a yr or two because he isnt happy here. so what did we get?? an unhappy player who just cost us a loss of maybe 30-40m.. so much for 'finishing his career at chelsea'.
lastly, u fail to see the context here. lukaku is not like other strikers because he has always, i mean ALWAYS, said about playing for chelsea, it was his dream, he has 'unfinished business' etc. then not even 6 months, and he is talking about returning. Did u guys love it when he kept saying he loved inter, and then two days later, he said publicly he always wanted to play for chelsea, and kinda forced the move??
Yeah, the context is necessary but not when it's to do with Utd. "My heart's in Inter", "I would like to come back to Inter, in my prime" those are pretty clear and straight forward words. It's funny, all this talk of context and tabloid media, when just yesterday ESPN went in with a TABLOID story about how Utd players are not happy with Ralf etc when no one had said anything remotely close.
They reported that it was news from the UK media (read Tabloids) which while they read reacted to it, put some context as it wasn't sourced by themselves. People tend to hide when giving these tabloid statements as would be the case if a player chose to moan. Albeit, without sourcing it is impossible to know if the story was true or factually reported.
This is a completely different situation. There is an interview that will be aired, so unless the interview is edited, it will be easy to judge what is spin and what is fact. Even an interview can have misleading headlines about it.
He didn't say in his 'prime'. He said when he can still contribute.
Get over it. Its not about Man United, they have been average for a decade. The only thing that keeps you in the media its the money that United keep giving away.
Like in politics the biggest problem is to think "it's pretty clear" without knowing the full context. The more if translated. Maybe Lukaku did it the wrong way but we need to learn to relax and not to judge prematurely. That dude with the glasses panicked as if the Devil knocked on the door coming to get him
@@nossavida312 This isn't about Utd being average or not. This is about ESPN being hypocrites. As you said, Utd's name brings in money, so, they have to use it.
Tuchel never left rom out prior to the injury.
Lukaku has now been back for a few weeks and Tuchel still disrespected him by putting him on the bench. Lukaku is an honorable man, and doesn't wanna get disrespected by Tuchel after he chose to join Chelsea.
@@julianbanks1885 few weeks?? man got covid, u think a player can play 90 minutes the day after he recovers??
@@julianbanks1885 disrespected by chelsea? dude grow up
@@julianbanks1885 that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard dude. The coach can play whoever he wants and if he didn’t think Lukaku was fit that’s his prerogative. I agree it seemed like TT took too long to re introduce Rom into the squad but who knows what was going on BTS. Rom is making over 300,000 a week, the least he could do is show some loyalty and respect.
@@julianbanks1885 Lukaku was injured and had Covid. What do you want the coach to do?
You clearly don’t watch football matches only match highlights
Gab and shaka spoke with so much objectivity and understanding...the others want sensationalism
Great analysis…
I agree with Stevie. Chelsea have almost half the squad injured or with covid. Tuchel is preserving the players he has. If he peanut want to stay he can leave at Chelsea we’re tired of people who don’t want to be in this club. It’s an insult to the club and he should prove himself more on the pitch.
no one wants to play for chelsea lmao

@@MrFrinZy yes they are..👌
Not only has Romelu Lukaku fallen apart with fourth fan base, he has made even Steve Nicol talking sense. That's an achievement.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I get Gabs point of not judging before he sees the full clip.
But he's defending Lukaku too much. It was stupid of him to make comments like that knowing it was Sky media, you can't misquote his criticism of Tuchel playing a different setup/system, he was implying that he has not gotten what he was told by Tuchel, under any context that's still unacceptable of him to say. That should have been a thought that he should directly take on with the manager, not openly demonstrating your frustration towards Tuchel so openly. Plus him talking about inter, I'd understand if he was just praising and showing his love towards the club that he became successful at. Just showing support. But he's openly flirting with them at the expense of Chelsea and the 100m he was bought in for. What makes it worse is Chelsea's recent form and the moment these comments have officially been posted, his own form has been very debatable considering what he was expected to be playing and outputting. 'smart' players doesnt mean that he'll always do everything right, but this was a howler from him and a humiliation to Chelsea. Not even 6months in and already criticising the manager, and flirting with the club he just directly left. Going back to them at still his prime, meaning he could be looking for a way out of Chelsea in the coming months/next year. He goes in about being "professional", it's like he just mentions that to make himself believe he's not doing anything wrong.
When the full interview gets released, I doubt there will be much context added to defend his comments but if I am really wrong in this view and there really is much context which makes all his points acceptable, I'll understand and take back my words. Shocking to see especially when he said it's his dream of coming back to Chelsea and Drogba being an idol he wanted to aim for.
Ain’t nobody reading this fam 😂
@@cjetrain I did. Speak for yourself
I’m torn on how to feel. Shaka isn’t wrong about the media and how any story that seems innocent can’t get twisted, but as the others pointed out there’s a lot of concerning stuff here. And the timing? The day after an embarrassing draw to Brighton? Unreal
First of all, he is so unprofessional in his comments. I don't care about the context. It's irrelevant here. Speaking openly to any mainstream media against your new club and praising your former club at the same time is purely disrespectful. But that's just how careless the modern players have become. The modern footballer feels so entitled. Money and fame have made them think they're bigger and more important than their employers. I really wonder who they hire as advisors!!!
You can’t blame Chelsea’s results on Rom. That defeats your whole blog post! How many goals a game does he have to score with your daft logic?
As Chelsea fan, I didn’t even want him to come in the first place. never considered him as world class striker.
🧢
Exatcly bro. Yes he had a wonderful season with inter but when chelsea decided to bring him back, i knew it will fail to suit him at some point. I hoped we got Haaland so much back then but sadly that didnt happen.
Yeah and 100m for that guy is a big mistake for chelsea.. he's not worth 100m
Belgium’s highest goalscorer, is not world class by your foolish opinion…..
Same! Too unprofessional for my taste. And for how much we paid for him? What lack of consideration for Chelsea fans!
Nicol and Burley this week (loudly): "SHUT UP AND BEHAVE!!!"
(Some speculation about what this situation of a striker feeling sidelined by a manager just might bring to mind for Chelsea fans: "Ah, he's getting the Shevchenko and Torres treatment..."
So the question is: What can a player do when he observed what happened to Torres from the inside, from the very beginning - and starts feeling that it's happening to him too?)
It ain't easy for Bumkaku sadly 😭 but he's done this sort of thing at United as well so it really isn't a shock for me. He shouldn't have said this though seeing how patient Chelsea fans were with him and actually supported him...
Bumkaku? That's lame. Are you 6 years old? If so, fair enough. If an adult it's embarrassing.
@@robovac3557 but...he's right
@@ojasdighe991 How so?
Surprisingly lukaku went from United as their top scorer ,,he is having 5 goals in 10 games ,,not a bad stat
Exactly. He wasn't scoring in initial games and we were fine with it. Hoping he would regain his form. Even if the interview is 3 weeks old. It was not a good time to speak such 💩💩💩
Ppl are really missing a key thing here. When chelsea players where healthy and Lukaku was out we were flying again bc we were playing our system and not trying to play around Lukaku. You know he was pissed off from seeing the team do so well without him. Only reason we even been in a dip is injuries/covid
My thoughts exactly! It's an ego thing for him, he thought everything will revolve around him. So he stayed in the box waiting for crosses and cutbacks when the team plays best with our forwards interchanging positions. It's the reason why we struggled for goals before his injury because we became predictable.
Oh my. Chelsea were only lucky with those goals, everyone cannot assume the role of a striker, it does work that way, you can only be lucky for a while but then if you have a striker you feed him and stop being selfish, your selfishness will only affect the team n not just you.Not everyone can convert chances that’s why we have striker.
@@osemuihonre2380 why buy him if you won't play around him? That's the way he plays.. y'all know that before pricing him away from inter... Lukaku is right for saying he is not happy.. No Big striker of his caliber would be happy with that
You should not have bought him in the first place when you think you are better without him... does that mean Chelsea don't know what they want?? just asking...
Stevie at the end mocking lukaku 🤣🤣🤣
This shows why diversity is needed in the work place, if Shaka and Gab wasn’t here this whole topic would’ve gone all the way left!
So true
Came to the comments to see if someone pointed this out. Agreed! Shaka was amazing, I think.
Steve calling his fellow man stupid for no reason? Senile old fool Steve
Amen!!!
Been reading this over and over again. He said he is “not happy with the situation “... he did an interview weeks when we were losing. Not happy with what “situation” , Chelsea not winning games? Or the situation of how he is being played at Chelsea? Because it is not clear and the fact that this interview is not released in full.
With his heart still at winter, come on, we don’t expect Romelu to be hating at Inter especially for what it has done for him. And it doesn’t mean he is not loyal to Chelsea, Inter are not even rivals to Chelsea.
This whole revelations is engineered by the media to sound bad and especially with the translation. Come on
Had he not beinghappy with 1 of those he would say it clearly jnstead of making people speculating. But no, this is coy way to say what he want and doing damage to anything you can imagine to Chelsea
Thank you. Too much of group think instead of actual thinking
Jorginho wanted to go back to Napoli
Thiago Silva wanted to go back to Milan and now Lukaku wants to go back to Inter.
There is more to the game than money.
Taxes and lifestyle
Jorginho wanted to go back because Lampard didnt start him and all of our fanbase criticized him and made him a scapegoat at times. But i never doubted the guy, i love him and always have. He never said directly to media to go back to Naples, its his stupid agent who likes to be in the news.
And Thiago wanted to go to Milan coz he had lived there in the prime of his career and also he was at end of the his career.
Love Thiago and Jorginho.
Tbh, i never wanted Lukaku, for that amount of money. He is 28.. we could've got Declan Rice, a midfielder for the next decade for that money and maybe could've bought someone like Danny Ings who is a great finisher. Lukaku has scored 7 goals in 18 games, I'm sure Ings would've scored the same amount

@@joaquinarchivaldoguzmanloe1073 he's talking about Ings as a stopgap for Haaland for a season

Nonsense
The best managers right now is Guardiola, Conte and Klopp. Tuchel will get a sack soon bcos of his bad habit of complaints and excuses when things gone bad liked he was at PSG.
As Chelsea fans, we don’t like this statement from Lukaku. Tuchel is still very popular among the fans. If Lukaku starts something stupid we are going to make sure he is back at Inter or wherever he wants to go soon as possible. This is no difference from Diego Costa trying to force a move mid season under Conte. This is probably worse because we were winning then and Costa did not speak to the press. Lukaku did not think this through.
We , Inter, are scoring goals for fun. With Alexis Sanchez back in form now, there's no need for lukaku
Who cares
@@thespeakersreview99 Take it easy. We are not here for a fight.
This segment makes me appreciate Gab and Shaka’s prospective. Everyone is piling on Lukaku and it’s nice to hear pundits taking the higher road
💯
I agree I think there points were spot on bc since we got the full interview, the stuff about tuckel will die down pretty quickly since he said while he's pissed, he gonna be professional about it. The stuff about inter i understand it was sky Italia so it was gonna be about inter anyway, I still think it was naive for him to say my heart is at inter especially now
Get rid lukaku should have kept it in house ,goal every other game is no good for Chelsea.
Thank you Shak for saying that
It's absolutely brainless thing to say. At this particular time when we are struggling and trying to catch up to a high flying City.
Ur manager said it is stupid to think u guys are in the title race. City have no competition especially with salah going for AFCON
pretty sure he said it 3 weeks ago when Chelsea were on top.
A player who speaks fluently 7 languages is brainless? Nicol can barely speak English. The only brainless people are those who take this interview serious. He is just trying to humour the Italian media in the interview. He knows he cannot go back to inter. It is like when Neymar is interviewed by the English media and says it would be nice to maybe play in England when you know he had no intention of every playing in England.

"When" it was published is irrelevant, he knew. He had it in his heart, he has more respect for his former club and fans why did he come to CFC if thats how he feels.
Premiere league clubs can and do pay alot more money than any other clubs. Inter wouldnt have sold him if they didnt need the money.
When you put it in context, it doesn't sound that bad. My first question when I heard these comments was, is this recent and was there something lost in translation? Gab did a great job because it seems like there's been a bit of overreation.

Agreed, we need the full context.
As a Chelsea fan I don't care if its a mistranslation or not. Why is our biggest signing going out in the media and talking about wanting to go back to inter after only being here for 6 months? Why would he talk about Tuchel's system at all other than the fact it's a bit different from Inters? His main focus should be getting fit and scoring goals for his club. I realize this is an intentional piece to get clicks before the big Liverpool game but still, it just doesn't sit right with me at all.

Time was needed for him, and I understand that it's a business at the end of the day
Maybe the signing of Lukaku was to get Timo on a different mindset to perform
Either way, it seems like Lukaku's best time in the Prem was at Everton
I honestly don’t appreciate how stevie can sit there and call another man stupid , everyone has freedom of speech and his comments clearly shows his bias and his general dislike for lukaku
Lukaku speaks 5 languages, that's not a stupid person to me. If Messi said that would they call him stupid.
Is Gab part of Lukaku's PR team? What is he on about.
The style of play in Italy is different . Marcotti is right lukaku probably sees the way senior strikers have shined in serie a in the past and hopes to replicate that once his prime is drawing down . (Quaglieralla/ luka Toni/ Edin dezko/ and the list goes on)
Can ESPN, give the full transcript.
Since he arrived he has been delivering for Chelsea and then he got his injury which kinda set him back but the guy has delivered for Chelsea to see people turn against players it's crazy it reminds u of how much people really got your back ‼️👍🏾
No one turned his back on him. He got injured he got covid and he wasn't sure when he wasnt sharp when he brought back into the team.

Liverpool fan here this is WHY I AM HAPPY WITH FSG!!! Liverpool and Jurgan Klopp for taking THEIR TIME WITH TRANSFER'S. The most important thing is a player's MENTALITY in certain scenarios.
Prime Examples Real Madrid GALLACTICOS! Manchester United SANCHEZ and POGBA. Arsenal ABUMIYANG! PSG NEYMAR!!!!
Big Money Transfers of High TOXICITY.
In any event, keep it in-house rather than spoon feed the media. This will inevitably cause a rift between Tuchel and Lukaku, a distraction in the making.
Lukaku looked like he has evolved into a matured man in his first interviews when he rejoined chelsea in the summer but now all a sudden it seems quite different. Lukaku needs to speak on the pitch like he did against villa but on that game he didn't win us a Premier League 🏆 or a Champions League🏆. He only won us a villa game and 3 points. We expect more from a £98m player.
Thank you GAB, someone with a level head. Context will always be crucial and certain words in different languages have multiple meanings.
Good job on Gab and Shaka for not jumping the gun and waiting for more context
This felt like a warning shot to Tuchel and based on Tuchel's reaction I think that's exactly what it was.
When Chelsea was struggling a year ago the first person to go was Lampard. Managers will get replaced if their teams are supposed to be top of the league but they aren't producing and as of late this team has been failing to produce. Playing people like Pulisic at the false 9 is just braindead, he's a fantastically talented player and when he's out wide he can make magic happen, but he doesn't have a body for that position. When choices like that are being made and they aren't working, I think criticism is fair.
Reason for playing Pulisic as a false 9 was because we havertz, Lukaku and Werner weren't available. Lukaku issues are him thinking that the Tuchel tactics should change to accommodate him instead of him having to adapt to the way the team plays. Now the selfish and stupidity was airing his frustration in public. Lukaku is basically telling Roman, Tuchel tactics aren't good enough.
@@adebowaleademola-thomas3776 Deluded.
Agree with Nichols. lukaku made silly comments
-White
He was aplogising to Inter fans for the way he left. And it came out as if he wants out. His comments are being taken out of context
@@thaboseane502 and now he is talking about his chance to join ManCity. and he said there are only 3 dream clubs in the world . this is not what footballers are supposed to talk about . lukaku sounds like a politician
Chelsea and expensive strikers underperforming/being sidelined a tale as old as time.
Sadly Italy is his level he can try all he like he can't become a top player in England. It's too hard for him with his atrocious first touch. He still has his pace once he loses that like Aubameyang he is done for. He is doing the right thing better start buttering up the top team in Italy which is his level so he can finally retire there in one year's time.
Lukaku has scores more in the EPL than any other league ...watch the facts behind your comments
👍👌👌👌👌👌👍
😂 You're right Lukaku has been in the Premier League before with multiple teams & hasn't been successful. Lukaku just doesn't have what it takes to play in the Premier League. In my opinion, Lukaku should have never come back to the Premier League.
@@agitacademy Well he has played all his life in England except like 2 years in Inter. If he couldn't even do that I would have said he is league one level. I am saying he is great in slower league in Serie A. They have Smalling as CB ffs in Roma he wouldn't even be on bench at United says it all.
Yeah with his atrocious first touch he bagged over 100 goals and oh he was one of the youngest to do it in the prem
Shaka and gab are very intelligent 👌
Never thought his style of play was a good fit for Chelsea in the first place.
I think he’s really enjoyed his time with Inter and playing bully ball under Conte, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s cursing his luck, he probably wishes Spurs had hired Conte in the summer, sold Harry Kane and brought him as a replacement
"Made a rod for his own back " is spot on
He have to leave chelsea at once! This is absolutely unacceptable!
Steve Nicol hates Lukaku
Never has
Steve nicol hates everyone except barcelona and Liverpool players
LAKAKA GET OUT OF MY CLUB. With his timberland first touch
Talk about making something out of nothing. He didn't even say he was unhappy with the system. He just said Tuchel was using a different system.
10:25 JAN ABSOLUTELY RIGHT !
That's funny that nowadays being honest and sincere is seen as an insult.. So just because he is playing for Chelsea he can't say that he had a great time at Inter or if the system don't suite you and what you were told before signing is wrong and you are not given what you were promised you can't say it by being honest and upfront . That's funny..
People's are very wicked this days, if someone speaks up people will term it to insult.
Stevie has always been against Lukaku since forever probably because he will always be a better player than him. C'mon Stevie, don't beat yourself too much.
He said “shut up and dribble “ lol . Outrageous!
Gab was trying his hardest to defend Lukaku 😂
When it comes to recognizing brainless comments, Stevie Nicol is the man.
Kay sitting there having a ball at all the arguing thinking how good the ratings for this show are going to be LOL
Stevie Nicol doesn’t like Lukaku. This news is an excuse for him to batter him again 🤣.
He's a disgrace.
Same way this clown Gab is biased...
You guys are candid, that was a wrong turn
Sounds like he's being held hostage. Somebody help that man.
😂 call in the swat team
😂
Players used to die for the shirt especially the big 6
There is no veneration by many
Lol it's a business not your family
Are professional players supposed to join a club for the paycheck or are they supposed to love them and lay down their lives for their employers like their own country.
No they didn't players used to play for money, like they do now
@@hailyrizzo5428 you’re representing a city
Football isn't only money. It's when we played as children in the streets and we felt that passion for this wonderful sport. There're some principles that you have not to change with other things,or forget, in your life;you could feel yourself empty without them.
First of all, Lukaku is so unprofessional in his comments. I don't care about the context. It's irrelevant here. Speaking openly to any mainstream media against your new club and praising your former club at the same time is purely disrespectful. But that's just how rude and careless some modern players have become. Yes, we have them at Man United also. The modern footballer feels so entitled. Money and fame has made them think they're bigger and more important than their employers. I really wonder who they hire as advisors!!!
First of all, he didn't praise his former club. Secondly he didn't say anything wrong about Chelsea. He only mentioned Tuchel playing a different system that doesn't fit him
The last i checked, if u were uncomfortable with something you voice it out.
Third, context changes everything. You can seat there and type all what you did. Without context, sentences can easily be misinterpreted.
Cope harder, He dosent need to be loyal to a plastic club.
you guys hate when players have a pr team but also hate when they’re honest and upfront
@@marcelohendrix6139 There's a huge ocean of difference between being honest/ upfront and being foolish. Lukaku is just being foolish here. Check the meaning of foolishness and see how it perfectly describes his action here ...
@@iphykelvin8698 Now that's the perfect definition of foolishness. Check the definition and see how perfectly it describes his actions ...
I love how Gab Marcotti is just so understanding and presents his argument with context and perspective. He's the most level-headed of the bunch. At least Shaka Hislop also saw some reason.
He's upset because he didn't want to come to Chelsea. Irrespective of what he has said to the media. The bottom line is he was our last choice in terms of bringing a CF into the club and he knows this. He wants us to play to his strengths instead of him adapting as a player and doing what's required of him. He may have been told he'd be used in a different way but its irrelevant he's paid to play the way manager wants. End of. Get on with it. Don't throw your toys out the pram especially when the team is filled with players under the age of 25 that would be influenced with these situations.
We need the full interview posted so that we can interpret that for ourselves; it's possible anyone can be misquoted and that sucks.
Well the system has changed, just because the formation hasn’t doesn’t mean the way we try and score hasn’t. It’s not fitting lukaku and more fitting our smaller and more technical players
In my opinion, Shaka ended the debate. He's right. And without the full context, it's a waste of time to continue to discuss the matter.
Since when is freedom of speech a crime? Let the man express himself. ESPN commentator: “it’s not his job to be honest.” How pathetic is that mindset?
lmao freedom of speech!!
when you sign a contract you loose some of that for sure
chelsea paid way too much for him
Ironic with how they act as the Guardians of freedom of speech who need to liberate the world
Where do they say it’s a crime? Doing something stupid that your employer and fans may not like is not a criminal offense lol
@@umdfan87 your employer doesn’t own you bud. Just because he plays for Chelsea FC doesn’t mean he has to be their slave, at least not in America. I don’t know how they do it in England, I guess it’s different there.
Even if it is not a crime, you cant speak whatever comes to your mind. Well, you can but it comes with consequences.
Gab is worried about his future endeavors, I’m with Stevie on this one
Shaka and Gab are right on about the context.
A lot of people say “oh I want to know the context before I make judgements”. But sometimes, the context really won’t make a difference and if you’re smart enough you’ll be able to tell. Why on earth would lukaku say he wants to go back to inter “not when I’m older, but in my prime”? How can that even be taken out of context at all? What context makes that okay? He’s 28 years old, when is he imagining his prime?
Whatever everyone is saying only Lukaku knows why he said it and how he’s feeling. Why leave Chelsea for Inter? Well we’ll see.
Like you know better
That segment was fun haha
Tuchel needs to get rid of him after that. The first part about the system is understandable but the talk about Inter is completely unacceptable. Him for Lautaro swap deal.
Lukaku just opened up what he felt in his situation. Though it should have been privately talked about between player and coach. I hope Tuchel discuss with him and help him out to succeed at Chelsea.
Lukaku really out here thinking he can walk into any team in Europe.
One thing's for sure, if I was up on a charge I'd want Shaka as my defence lawyer. He made a defence for Lukaku where there was none.
Context is very important.
