I also have my doubts how Lukaku will fit in Inzaghi's football as every Inter fan. Today, I have rewatched Inter-Empoli (4-2), and i was pissed once again how Dzeko wasted a couple of good chances at the end of the game. Then, I realized that he did it, because he is too old, and i just imagined if Lukaku was on his place instead. With his pace and physical force, he would have scored a goal at least. He may struggle with our new tiki taka style, but he could be the missing key for our counter-attack, because this was one of the weakest points of Inter past season.

I think they're getting a really good deal on him if the price is actually around £35m. They'll need a striker as well to fill the Lukaku hole but definitely an interesting move.

I mean, Rom is still a big guy. Sterling not so much. Down the road, people would remember that Lukaku gave up after a year. Yeah, Sterling is a winger, but the impression would be there.

He wasn't really that bad when he was actually on the field. The issue for him was he was either injured, had covid, or was saying ridiculous shit off the field. Obviously the latter was completely his fault but his actual on field performance was more so average than awful.

The puzzling part for me is not getting along with Tuchel. When Tuchel came to Dortmund, Miki was shit under Klopp' s second sesaon. In fact they were gonna trade Miki for cheap, something like 15 mil. Then Tuchel talked to him and he had that great season, before moving to MU. And in Dortmund, Auba was the center forward, kinda similar to Lukaku. Less physical, with better first touch, faster. But still, I can not believe that Chelsea management spends north of 100 mil and coach and a star player have this huge problem after one year. Honestly, I don't remember anything like this for such a big move.

problem with lukaku he does not want to run in which he thinks there is no aim. like in inter he would get a ball and be direct toward goal in chelsea he was asked to do combination andrun side ways zig zag stop and go and to him that is boring and frustrating. so lukaku is basicly counter ttack forward and nothing else

Don't have one.
You definitely need to use him the right way. There was such a big hype last year when he moved to chelsea, you had a felling they v got a world-class striker and I really believe tuchel believed that as well. So the tactics were not really how to maximize lukaku effect as much as oh he is a new man now, he finally matured in inter, he can play whatever we want in attack.

And I watched a couple of his first games after the return, he was great imo, probably an effect of all that hype and tuchel being more open to accommodate lukaku. But once he realized he has to accommodate him continuously, and he isn't just a world-class striker that you can put wherever and expect magic, everyone in chelsea realized they v made a huge mistake, hence the breakout between him and tuchel. Of course, lukaku contributed to that as well, mainly with his attitude.

Fabrizio has been incredibly disappointing with his updates so far this transfer season. He's late and only confirms what others have said recently.

I get that his follower-base has grown incredibly huge over the last couple of years and that's based on how accurate he is, but it's honestly become a bit boring following him.

Pedulla has been the go-to guy this transfer window. He's yet to be wrong.

Di Marzio - Lukaku Inter the second round with the ChelseaFC took place today: official request 10M plus bonus for the loan, no counterpart. Inter ready to say yes to these conditions, last ok of Zhang is missing and then closes.

Lukaku ready to significantly reduce the salary, receiving around 12 million euros gross.
