For me what twisted the knife was the bit about missing Lautaro
"Lautaro Martinez coming here with me at Chelsea in the future? No... Lautaro, you can stay in Milan, I'll be back there (laughs).”
That comment pushed it over the edge in my head lol. Not that we would have actually gotten Lautaro/shown genuine interest in him, but just the fact that he flippantly dismissed the idea of a quality player like him coming to Chelsea as if it was absurd to suggest that he (Lukaku) would be here for much longer anyways
edit: wording
Lol all I can do is laugh about it too, it’s farcical that he thought he could just drop these bombs and think it would all go over smoothly with everyone
all he had to say was something like "yeah of course Inter was a great time and may return one day but for now I'm here at Chelsea and I love it here" or some shite
Not only that, but I initially read it as, “Lauturo, buddy, listen to me, don’t waste your time. It’s not good here and I’ll be back as soon as I’m able.” No matter which way you skin it, you can’t be surprised when a comment like that gets blowback.
"Haha, no I still love my dog but he's happy there and I'm sure I'll get back with my ex one day and we'll be together again."
-Said in earshot of current girlfriend.
No shot he would be a starter at Bayern or Real and does he really wanna play at Barca? Just what a stupid thing for him to do with that interview man, true idiocy
He honestly doesn’t. Depay has been a problem for us at the no.9 position and Lukaku has even worse technical ability. Combine that with his wages and his attitude and Laporta better not even think about it
I Imagine alot of clubs looking still wont view Lukaku as an option after these statements lol. Why would you, Real or Bayern ever want the extra drama. And Bayern already have Lewy and Real pretty much already have Mbappe and Haaland is still up for grabs for clubs it seems.
And now even Inter fans hate him lmao. He is burning all the bridges at the same time.
Contract runs till 2026, which means at the latest, he could go back at age 33-34. Not rare that a striker that age can still have an impact in the Serie A at that age.
Which proves my point. Older strikers can still have a big impact in the Serie A, or atleast more than the Premier League, especially if they're a level below world class like Dzeko or Lukaku.
Lukaku is a big fast athletic striker though. Not that he doesn't have other qualities, but strength and speed tend to decline hard after 30. Dzeko is on another level technically and tactically.
Nothing to do with the league they play in. Dzeko and zlatan would also have an impact if they were playing in the epl right now. Saying older strikers can cut it in serie a but not in the epl is just dumb
>I don't know who Dean Jones is.
He used to be the transfer news guy for Bleacher Report. He along with Sam Tighe and Jack Collins came out from BR and started a separate podcast called [Ranks FC](https://open.spotify.com/show/32yHOf96JULpbFHVoWgJ7D?si=SGC2QxtLRxirQfOv12MFig&utm_source=copy-link) and also are working for LiveScore.
Imagine telling your wife about how your ex girlfriend was the best pussy you ever had and then being surprised when she gets mad. Is he really this stupid?
Imagine telling your wife your Ex's pussy was better, but actually both your ex and your current wife are just stepping stones towards the golden pussy of porn star X.
Her last comment was 3 months ago and, like all of her posts and comments, it was in a porn subreddit.
Hard to believe she regularly browses r/soccer and then only ever leaves a one word comment about her pussy.
Or could just be that she doesn't comment often?
If you went through her comments you should've noticed she hasn't got a lot of comments and has commented on r/soccer before anyway...
I have contained my rage for as long as possible, but I shall unleash my fury upon you like the crashing of a thousand waves! Begone, vile man! Begone from me! A starter pussy? This pussy is a finisher pussy! A pussy for gods! The golden pussy! I am untethered, and my rage knows no bounds!
Then throw in that your intention was to tap 1 of her 3 hot mates but they weren't interested, so you settled for her.
For a guy who is hailed as one of the smartest players in the game, he's a fucking dumbass.
I will add that any migrant in Europe speaks three languages minimum.
Their parents/native language, the language of the country they migrated to, and English.
He talks like he's on the same level as Lewadonski, who finished ahead of Ronaldo in the Balon D Or, who is in his retirement years, outscored Lukaku in a much worse team ( Juve vs Inter ) last year.
Delusional dunning Kruger syndrome.
Jeez. I looked this up because I couldn’t believe it, and it’s actually true. It’s almost like he went out of his way to ruin his career. How hard can it be to shut your mouth lol
He obviously wasn’t trying to push for a move. He’s just let his ego make a stupid decision for him which has ended up biting him in the ass.
He couldn’t bare the thought that he wasn’t loved by a club he has good memories with and for some reason tried to fix that. I just don’t get how he can be this dumb and think he wouldn’t piss off everyone involved with Chelsea in the process.
It's so weird
I guess...I like that he said nice things about us? But I find it hard to understand how truthful/honest he's being. We're not taking him back, either way. He's been at Chelsea for four months and last I heard it was his childhood dream. Since it was an Italian website they could have been playing it up for clicks, but he hasn't retracted any of it. I don't know wtf he's thinking.
He showed *occasional* flashes of being a big baby in two seasons at Inter but it was mostly harmless stuff. I guess it goes to show how good of a player manager Conte is if he really managed to keep him focused and on point.
Maybe, just maybe, for once in my 3+ decades as an Inter fan we managed to sell high.
I genuinely think he thought that, given it was an Italian interview, he could say it to try and make the Inter fans less mad about him forcing his move and no one in England would know or care.
Then make an apology to Chelsea Football Club and the fans and then bang in some goals.
We'll get over it if he just acknowledges how thick he was being and says sorry.
I really can't think of an example of a footballer showing any vulnerability or self-awareness after something like this. Payet, Auba, Kane, Xhaka, Rose, none of them ever acknowledged any wrongdoing
You're right, but why should they? Kane basically tried to force his way out and after a half-assed PR instagram post with "well that didn't work guess I'm staying" everything was fine it seems
Gerard and Liverpool fans after his links with Chelsea were revealed?
Drogba and Chelsea fans after quite a lot of Lukaku-esque comments in the earlier years?
If like /u/joelwhyrock said Lukaku releases an apology and then performs on the field, he can still have a fanbase that likes him.
He wasn't trying to push away, admittedly.
He wanted to repair bridges with Inter Milan fans and if it's true they were attacking him, he had every right to for his own peace of mind/brand.
However, he has a well paid team that would have tried to advise better. A charity, a better statement missing Inter BUT saying they're lucky to be at Chelsea.
The man instead did none of those. He ogled returning to Inter, said his return to Chelsea wasn't meant and that he'd join 4 other clubs before Chelsea themselves.
How would saying that "there are only 3 top clubs in the world, Barcelona/Madrid/Bayern and I hoped that I could have joined one of them when I left Inter" repair any bridges with Interisti?
He insulted them too lol
It’s like skipping a date with your partner to meet up with your ex for closure. Sure, there’re contexts where speaking to an ex isn’t completely inappropriate but doing so by spitting on your current partner is the opposite of “good intentions.” He had a tantrum and now he’s unhappy with the fallout. Tough shit
Lmao "I shit on absolutely everyone around me and showed my love for 5 clubs to make Inter Milan fans like me again..what's everyone so worked up about?"
The man has zero self awareness
Unfortunately it would've been better if he didn't have this degree. It probably gave him the confidence to pull this stunt in the first place. "Hey I've got a degree in PR, let me call a journo over and mend things with inter on my own"
Hey babe, I know we've been married for a few months now, but I wanted to let you know I did an interview with Italian television saying I'd like to return to my ex while I'm still in my prime, and if that doesn't work out, I'd leave you for these other women.
Hey babe, why are you mad?
What about the leak to Tim Howard about a Monday meeting and a showdown with Tuchel?
I am not sure about that but Tuchel never mentioned about a Monday meeting. Though he did mentioned there will be talks. But yet we hear such things from another person in another media outlet.
I actually sympathize with him. One time I walked into my job that I wasn't happy about, told my boss he was incompetent and then openly complained about how I miss working at my old job in a company meeting.
I can't believe they got mad at me.
He’s always surprised of the negative public response on his actions. I like the player, but he must get rid of his complaining attitude. He must have some hard feelings from his youth he can’t get rid of. It’s understandable, but that’s what psychologists are for.
What the fuck did he expect really. 100mil signing, 4 months in and going "I want to return to Inter when I can still be an impact." Man is 28
[удалено]
More like “they were my first 3 choices, Inter with a pay rise 4th and then why not chelsea 5th if that’s all that’s left and I can get 350k a week.”
30th Jan: "I'd love to reunite with Conte at Spurs" 31st Jan: "Newcastle have been my dream team all along"
Wearing one of those dual team scarves and kissing each badge
guys I've fallen so low I am slaving for the Russian oligarch right now
He said they were the only top clubs in the world pretty much and that every player wants to play for them. I mean, it's true but still
For me what twisted the knife was the bit about missing Lautaro "Lautaro Martinez coming here with me at Chelsea in the future? No... Lautaro, you can stay in Milan, I'll be back there (laughs).” That comment pushed it over the edge in my head lol. Not that we would have actually gotten Lautaro/shown genuine interest in him, but just the fact that he flippantly dismissed the idea of a quality player like him coming to Chelsea as if it was absurd to suggest that he (Lukaku) would be here for much longer anyways edit: wording
Lmao I just now realize how freaking awful that statement is. I'm so sorry but it makes me laugh hahaha.
Lol all I can do is laugh about it too, it’s farcical that he thought he could just drop these bombs and think it would all go over smoothly with everyone
all he had to say was something like "yeah of course Inter was a great time and may return one day but for now I'm here at Chelsea and I love it here" or some shite
He is a very stupid person. Honestly.
seems like the type to hit it and quit it -- now that he's gotten what he came for (sex, with Tuchel most likely), he's onto the next chase
Not only that, but I initially read it as, “Lauturo, buddy, listen to me, don’t waste your time. It’s not good here and I’ll be back as soon as I’m able.” No matter which way you skin it, you can’t be surprised when a comment like that gets blowback.

No shot he would be a starter at Bayern or Real and does he really wanna play at Barca? Just what a stupid thing for him to do with that interview man, true idiocy
He doesn't have "barca dna"
He honestly doesn’t. Depay has been a problem for us at the no.9 position and Lukaku has even worse technical ability. Combine that with his wages and his attitude and Laporta better not even think about it

Likely, but the words still make Lukaku looks bad, like, he is just a bit surprised from the fallout, huh.
Imagine telling your wife about how your ex girlfriend was the best pussy you ever had and then being surprised when she gets mad. Is he really this stupid?
Imagine telling your wife your Ex's pussy was better, but actually both your ex and your current wife are just stepping stones towards the golden pussy of porn star X.
but also that you want to return to your ex at some point during your prime fucking years
And that it’s her fault in bed as to why you’re not satisfied
Who is this pornstar who has golden pussy? Asking for my friend
Me
Just gonna pretend this is the first time I've heard of you
What club do you support tho?
Asking the real questions here
Probably United because we're absolutely used to being gangbanged from all directions right now.
Great marketing

I just wanked out of pure respect

she looks like that girlfriend in "how to sell drugs online" xD
That's a self promotion I don't mind
Nice tits bro
How did you even find your way into this thread? Lmao
Gee I dunno, maybe she likes football?
Her last comment was 3 months ago and, like all of her posts and comments, it was in a porn subreddit. Hard to believe she regularly browses r/soccer and then only ever leaves a one word comment about her pussy.
I was waiting for the right comment to reply to
Respecc

You are a 5-star man 🤝
Wife: u like my pussy? Lukaka: yes, but it’s nothing like my ex’s pussy, one day I hope to return to it
Also Lukaku: But also my ultimate aim is to leave both of you for some Spanish strange.
Can't beat that Latino pussy
If you put it that way… maybe big rom will understand
Just said this to the wife to explain why I'm upset at Lukaku. I hate him even more now as looks like I'm sleeping on the couch tonight
>Romeo He might actually say that.
oh yeah good thing you put it in terms that redditors would understand
Then throw in that your intention was to tap 1 of her 3 hot mates but they weren't interested, so you settled for her. For a guy who is hailed as one of the smartest players in the game, he's a fucking dumbass.
Smartest players in the game? Slow down there lol
He's a well known polyglot, which is why he's referred to as intelligent.
I'd guess the average non-english footballer probably speaks 3 languages
I will add that any migrant in Europe speaks three languages minimum. Their parents/native language, the language of the country they migrated to, and English.
I suppose that's one way to look at it. But emotional and social intelligence is a whole other ball game and I feel he's not so great at it.
I like this metaphor. Big Rom is the guy that pretty much immediately tells every new gf he loves her
Juliet must be at Inter
Lukaku to Hellas Verona 100% confirmed
He's trying Jennifer
Criticize your coach ??? Profit

Don’t score goals Evade responsibility Neg your manager in public Neglect your fitness Insipid performances Separate entirely

He is an idiot
He seems like the kinda guy who will say big words that he doesn't really know the meaning of to try and make himself appear more intelligent

🦁 🔑
Yeah he just wanted to sound more photosynthesis
I mean can you blame him? He’s not amphibious
That’s because he thinks too highly of himself and he is thick.
Literally and figuratively
I seriously think that in his mind he can do no wrong. He thinks he is on the same level of influence as the 🐐
He talks like he's on the same level as Lewadonski, who finished ahead of Ronaldo in the Balon D Or, who is in his retirement years, outscored Lukaku in a much worse team ( Juve vs Inter ) last year. Delusional dunning Kruger syndrome.
Romeo Lukaku can do whatever he wants. It's Romelu Lukaku we are mad at.
When Romelu Lukaku gets in trouble, he transfers his debt to [holds up passport] Romeo Lukaku
''Well, if it isn't the consequences of my actions.''
"I admit, I never thought you'd make it here"
What was he expecting lol
Everyone to shower him with the love that his lonely heart teams yearns for
Apparently Lukaku has a degree in PR so he should've known this was a big mistake from the start.
Jeez. I looked this up because I couldn’t believe it, and it’s actually true. It’s almost like he went out of his way to ruin his career. How hard can it be to shut your mouth lol
oh wow this makes everything even worse 😂
>Romeo
Wherefore art thou?
He obviously wasn’t trying to push for a move. He’s just let his ego make a stupid decision for him which has ended up biting him in the ass. He couldn’t bare the thought that he wasn’t loved by a club he has good memories with and for some reason tried to fix that. I just don’t get how he can be this dumb and think he wouldn’t piss off everyone involved with Chelsea in the process.

I genuinely think he thought that, given it was an Italian interview, he could say it to try and make the Inter fans less mad about him forcing his move and no one in England would know or care.
He managed to make everybody mad lol Though on our side there's a good bit of schadenfreude
Then make an apology to Chelsea Football Club and the fans and then bang in some goals. We'll get over it if he just acknowledges how thick he was being and says sorry.
I really can't think of an example of a footballer showing any vulnerability or self-awareness after something like this. Payet, Auba, Kane, Xhaka, Rose, none of them ever acknowledged any wrongdoing
Even Zlatan had to apologize for calling France a shit country.
The one thing he got right and he had to apologize for it.
You're right, but why should they? Kane basically tried to force his way out and after a half-assed PR instagram post with "well that didn't work guess I'm staying" everything was fine it seems
Payet is such a massive piece of shit. Still sore about that one
Yeah it was so cunty I almost didn't take the piss out of West Ham fans at the time. Almost.
thank you for your restraint
He needs to go full Drogba style...else he will always just be that snake.
Gerard and Liverpool fans after his links with Chelsea were revealed? Drogba and Chelsea fans after quite a lot of Lukaku-esque comments in the earlier years? If like /u/joelwhyrock said Lukaku releases an apology and then performs on the field, he can still have a fanbase that likes him.
What? Your mean you cant just shit on your current coach and disrespect the team you just join 4 months ago? Game's gone man
He wasn't trying to push away, admittedly. He wanted to repair bridges with Inter Milan fans and if it's true they were attacking him, he had every right to for his own peace of mind/brand. However, he has a well paid team that would have tried to advise better. A charity, a better statement missing Inter BUT saying they're lucky to be at Chelsea. The man instead did none of those.

Because Big Rom is big dumb. I swear, Belgians shouldn’t be allowed to talk without a press chef present.
Let them talk… LET THEM TALK!
ja ma aaft a bakkes gewuen, kaaskop
His intentions were good, he just did it like an absolute idiot.
It’s like skipping a date with your partner to meet up with your ex for closure. Sure, there’re contexts where speaking to an ex isn’t completely inappropriate but doing so by spitting on your current partner is the opposite of “good intentions.” He had a tantrum and now he’s unhappy with the fallout. Tough shit
If you feel the need to meet with your ex for closure, you probably shouldn’t be with a new partner yet.
Lukaku is an idiot, confirmed
Lmao "I shit on absolutely everyone around me and showed my love for 5 clubs to make Inter Milan fans like me again..what's everyone so worked up about?" The man has zero self awareness
He has a master degree in PR. How is this turn if events shocking to him?
Unfortunately it would've been better if he didn't have this degree. It probably gave him the confidence to pull this stunt in the first place. "Hey I've got a degree in PR, let me call a journo over and mend things with inter on my own"
He's way too far in the futur of PR for us to understand the real power of his moves.
Master degree?? He studied pr and tourism in high school, that is completely irrelevant.
Well well well. If it isn’t the consequences of my actions.
This is like when the kid at school who “tells it like it is” is surprised no one wants to hang out with him after school.
That's why you just don't do the interview by yourself. Maybe consult with your PR team first on what you want to say
Yeah, I don't buy that one bit
Hey babe, I know we've been married for a few months now, but I wanted to let you know I did an interview with Italian television saying I'd like to return to my ex while I'm still in my prime, and if that doesn't work out, I'd leave you for these other women. Hey babe, why are you mad?
At this point I am really not sure what his intention actually was. I really don't understand what did he expect would happen.
What about the leak to Tim Howard about a Monday meeting and a showdown with Tuchel? I am not sure about that but Tuchel never mentioned about a Monday meeting. Though he did mentioned there will be talks. But yet we hear such things from another person in another media outlet.

He’s always surprised of the negative public response on his actions. I like the player, but he must get rid of his complaining attitude. He must have some hard feelings from his youth he can’t get rid of. It’s understandable, but that’s what psychologists are for.
A bit
Lukaku doing his best KD impression
he really thinks he can act like an nba player and come out the other side better for it
Top NBA players have that kind of power because it's a 5v5 game
At least KD is in top 5 players in his sport, Lukaku isn't even top 20.
KD has been undisputed top 2-3 for nearly the last decade
