Lukaku offers tantalising glimpse into the future
Lukaku has endeared himself to the Chelsea faithful already by his sheer enthusiasm and his love of the club.
In his younger days he vowed to play for Chelsea — he even held a mock press conference when visiting Stamford Bridge as a youngster pretending he had just been signed. The comparisons with Drogba are unavoidable – he is a big, strong, physically imposing striker (with dreadlocks!) but I think the characters are very different. Drogba has his amazing days when he is unplayable – and then he had his off days where he goes missing. I can’t imagine Lukaku having that latter attitude at any time. On Saturday he was confident, energetic and determined – it can only serve as a bit of a wake-up call because I think it demonstrated exactly what had been missing of late in the team.
