Romelu Lukaku: A Chelsea FC Legend in the Making
With the high profile transfers of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri away from Arsenal this summer, Chelsea’s capture of teen sensation of Romelu Lukaku came with comparatively little fanfare.
The signing of Lukaku from Anderlecht is a shrewd piece of business from Chelsea, and the boy as all the physical and mental tools to become a Stamford Bridge great.Lukaku has strength and speed far beyond his years, and was used to playing up front on his own at Anderlecht against veteran defenders. To be thrown in at the deep end and forced to sink or swim will be a learning process that benefits the young striker throughout his career.
On top of his physical attributes, Lukaku already brings with him top division, international and Champions League experience even at the tender age of 18.
To have already faced the hostile crowds, experienced different countries and have succeeded as a lone forward at such a high level makes Lukaku a low risk purchase for the Blues.

Fernando to Start Firing
“He is past it.”“He is a crock.”
“His best days are behind him.”
The above statements are all being thrown around on a consistent basis about Fernando Torres by fans all over the world. The statements are based on Torres’ performances last season, and they are all absolute nonsense.
Fernando Torres is 27 years old, and you can guarantee he will find his scoring form once more. Furthermore, he will win many trophies at Chelsea FC and be remembered fondly by fans.
Sport science research has shown that a footballer hits his physical peak between the ages of 28 to 30. Further to that, players in the current age are extending their careers with better knowledge of diet and how to look after their body.
Chelsea vs Arsenal Match Preview
Arsenal lost 0-3 to Chelsea at Emirates Stadium in the previous fixture. Can the Gunners return the favor and beat the Blues at Stamford Bridge?
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger’s men will surely seek to exploit the set-piece situation when they meet league leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. The Blues have exposed their frailties in that area of discipline yet again with a 1-1 draw against lowly Hull midweek. Hull’s goal came off a corner kick.
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti said in a post match interview that the result against Hull “was a good result for us,…I’m not disappointed.”
What?
Not disappointed with a draw against 18th place Hull? Not disappointed with a draw against an inferior team that effectively stalled Chelsea’s progress toward the title?
This is surely the mother of all spin controls.
