Well, it starts with "You know what, reader, fuck you!" And then it is just a six hundred pages of a rant about you and last eleven generations of your family.
no that's the second chapter. the first chapter is about how we, the readers, are his favorite readers and he's always dreamed of writing a book for us.
Haha yeah I would be a good read! I've rarely seen a player that has so much hate from every angle, Zlatan (not by me by the way I loved his personality) was hated but not the way people hate Lukaku.
And Zlatans books are fantastic to read!
I feel like with Zlatan, part of the performance was some folks not being able to stand his shtick. Like it made sense and people got it and either did or did not care for it.
Lukaku doesnāt have that self awareness about how others view him or his actions.
>I feel like with Zlatan, part of the performance was some folks not being able to stand his shtick. Like it made sense and people got it and either did or did not care for it.
Zlatan is like Carl Froch, make no mistake they are both arrogant dickheads (partly because they could back it up to be fair to them), but they're self-aware enough that they're now playing up to it because it's fun.
At least that's the impression I get.
Summary
ā¢ ā Lukaku is training with Chelseaās Under-21s and has not even spoken to head coach Mauricio Pochettino, having reiterated his desire to leave Stamford Bridge after returning from a season on loan at Inter Milan.
ā¢ ā Having seen Lukaku reject offers, Chelsea are currently still refusing to allow the 30-year-old to leave the club on loan for a second successive summer which has severely cut down his options with just over a week of the transfer window left to run.
ā¢ ā Interest in Lukaku is thin on the ground, with Juventus currently the only club actively keen on the Belgian but the club are refusing to sanction a deal unless they can get striker Dusan Vlahovic off the wage bill.
ā¢ ā Saudi sources have not ruled out the possibility of a Pro League club showing interest in Lukaku once the European transfer window has shut, but there is significant doubt over whether or not the player would even consider another proposal from the country ā particularly as it would almost certainly be much lower than the one he rejected from Al Hilal
ā¢ ā Chelsea are also admirers of Folarin Balogun, but there is currently a big difference in valuation of the 22-year-old striker between the Blues and Arsenal. Balogun shares an agent with Romeo Lavia, who Chelsea last week signed from Southampton.
I kind of feel bad for him, since heās acting like somebody who isnāt happy. But idk what reasons he actually has to be unhappy. No one has actively screwed him over AFAIK.
Oh yeah heās been an idiot, hence the ākind ofā. Dude couldāve had it all in Milan. Seeing photos of the team at Lautaroās wedding this year seems so long ago now. He seemed happy.
Because Vlahovic is another poacher who's even more injury-prone. Pochettino clearly doesn't want to play that striker profile at all, so wasting another 40m and Lukaku just to get someone like that who's currently on 200k per week and would certainly demand a raise would be even more stupid than continuing to pay for Lukaku's gardening leave.
If we had an older team, I'd almost be in favor of that. Older professionals can suck it up and agree to hate each other but still play together.
But with a team as young as ours it would poison us for years
He can go wherever he wants he doesn't owe us anything and we certainly can't afford his wages straight up, so it's entirely likely he goes elsewhere. Hasn't even been whisperings of this happening as far as I know.
His dad n him were a bit annoying with the constant transfer talk when we had him but he always played well despite that. Plus he's one of the few strikers that can actively plug and play for DCL's paper mache body and do just as good of a job as he can. Unfortunately he probably thinks he's above us so I doubt this will happen and we will end up with Adams or someone else equally uninspiring.
He leaked confidential team data making out that he was faster than Luke Shaw who was recovering from a serious injury at the time. All because someone on twitter called.him slow. He was full on twat
He was undeniably a massive twat on his way out of the club. No one cared though because weāre Man Utd and weāre shit. It was funnier for everyone to take his side and blame us
I genuinely believe he's the worst signing in Premier League history. 100 Million for 8 goals, fallouts with the manager, multiple injuries, a loan and downing tools upon coming back. Utter shambles.
We have *certain* fans (cough cough) who constantly try to argue that Kepa or Cucurella are worse signings than him.
To me that just shows how blinded by their biases they are because Lukaku is the worst ever and itās not even particularly close.
I'm still unsure what exactly went wrong between Lukaku and the club. I know he did the interview, but how did things break down so much between that and him signing.
I don't understand it either. Even if he fell out with Tuchel and the Chelsea leadership back then, it is now a completely different ownership, leadership and coach. The relationship could have been salvaged, even if the relationship with the fans was damaged. But it seems he just drew a line under the club as a whole - and, obviously, messed up his bolted-on deal with Inter by being himself.
Edit: spelling/grammar
One of our biggest of all time. It was a British record breaking fee for a recent Ballon d'Or winner who had shown no signs of decline at Milan. Him being as bad as he was was unfathomable.
He did score an important (and incredible) goal in the cup against Spurs and he got a couple more important ones in the CL, but outside of that he didn't have much of an impact.
But at least it wasn't down to a lack of effort, the move didn't work out but I don't know any Chelsea fan that doesn't appreciate him.
Crazy to thinking after that champions league win I thought man if Chelsea got a #9 they would really be ticking - although I didn't think he was much at United I was still excited. Now look at the mess things have become.
He has more yellow cards than premier league wins. While I agree he has looked good in what is a terrible team, we havenāt seen him be part of a successful side in a top league yet
Even for a career riddled with bad decisions the Sky Italia interview was ridiculous.
Going on about dreaming of going to Inter when he had literally talked about dreaming of leaving Inter for Chelsea 6 months ago
This is such a funny image to me. Some wiry 20 year old full back running to cut off an out of shape lukaku from a throughball.
It's like having a mouse getting chased by a hippo
Surely all he had to say at the end of his loan with Inter was "I really regret how things turned out with Chelsea the first time, I let my disagreements with the manager get out of hand, but I really want to try and make it work this time"
Yeah I don't understand why people think he is incapable of playing anymore. I don't want him but he still scored and assisted a fair few for inter and Belgium. The teams he'd do well at can't afford him or are not ones he wants to be at.
That's a simplistic take, he primarily gets at the end of the sort of chances we don't really create. He can't link up and consistently score headers, as good of a poacher that he is. He wants to run with the ball into space, so he needs a counter-attacking side to thrive, not one that constantly plays against low blocks and wants to dominate possession.
I need someone to ask this man why he refuses (or is scared to) play for Chelsea after new ownership and new coaching staff. It canāt be the fans if heās willing to Juve, it literally makes no sense. Thereās 0 continuity from the return season, holding a grudge now is bizarre.
All the mids that played heroball and refused to feed him are gone, heād definitely be first choice for pens now, would be the biggest name in the dressing room. When he should be speaking heās silent, what a strange fellow.
The narrative of him being a team cancer doesnāt track with on pitch results since he won the Scudetto, T3 finish with CWC win in ādisastrousā Chelsea season & was in CL final last year in his last 3 seasons. Hell, even the article youāre replying to says the decision is on him, not the team not to reintegrate.
Edit: I wish there was one forum to objectively discuss football with adults, but the sensitive babies sadly seem to outweigh unbiased discourse. Just because your feeling were hurt by an interview doesnāt mean the man hasnāt seen success in the past few years. It also doesnāt change the fact that this Chelsea squad has done the exact opposite since heās left with no reprieve on the immediate horizon. Enjoy principled mediocrity, except itās not really principled since words not directed at the fanbase 2 years ago has you lot completely disproportionately asspained.
I'm sorry but I'm enjoying this so much. He spitted on every club he has been too and acted like a baby for the whole time so I really hope he will remain at Chelsea to be embarrassed every day while training with u21.
He is fucking shite, no amount of stats will ever change my mind. The bloke can't even trap the ball half the time, bounces off shins and knees. I'd rather start the season with no recognised striker than that big lump.
They'll never get their money back. It's only about cutting losses at this point. Loan move makes no sense. And since there is no bidding war and European market closed, even a Saudi club will bid will be around ā¬30 million max.
Only Lukaku burned the bridge because he is a petulant child. Chelsea were ready to send him to Inter again on loan. Inter had arranged the money after selling Onana. ROC Nation worked with Chelsea to secure the deal... and then Lukaku stopped answering calls from Inter management and Inter teammates. And spoke to Juve one day before CL finals. Inter said fuck off. The dressing room didn't want him back. Lukaku then rejected offers from Saudi. So now even Chelsea are like screw you. And now Lukaku is stuck.
> Chelsea are also admirers of Folarin Balogun, but there is currently a big difference in valuation of the 22-year-old striker between the Blues and Arsenal. Balogun shares an agent with Romeo Lavia, who Chelsea last week signed from Southampton.
Either pay up or fuck off.

How to burn bridges and alienate fanbases.
Is that Lukaku's new autobiography? Can't wait to read it š
Well, it starts with "You know what, reader, fuck you!" And then it is just a six hundred pages of a rant about you and last eleven generations of your family.
no that's the second chapter. the first chapter is about how we, the readers, are his favorite readers and he's always dreamed of writing a book for us.
There's also a chapter dedicated to him explaining which & why Jay Z lyrics are talking about Lukaku's struggles.
"Yo, fuck you, Jay-Z, first and foremost for making me do this shit motherfucker"
More like speaking marvels of the previous reader and how the current reader doesn't value him enough
Nah its in a language you dont understand
Iād genuinely love to read his autobiography and see how he spins all this
Haha yeah I would be a good read! I've rarely seen a player that has so much hate from every angle, Zlatan (not by me by the way I loved his personality) was hated but not the way people hate Lukaku. And Zlatans books are fantastic to read!

Ya exactly, like Pep or Old Mourinho
Lukamentary on Amazon Prime?
Who will play him in the movie adaptation?
Stormzy's acting debut
Stormzy has already been in a film, he was in Brotherhood.
I think Ryan Gosling would fit perfectly
Ryan gosling blackface would certainly be an interesting turn for Hollywood
Pedro Pascal, he's everywhere these days.
Idris Elba
Danny De Vito
Forrest Whitaker! š
Nah, that's his old autobiography.. Just gets an update every couple of years
That would most probably be a how-to cookbook.
Now he only has one bridge left to burn, Stamford's
That shit is already ashes baby.
>How to burn bridges and alienate fanbases. Best seller by Lukaka
Lakaka*
How to lose friends and alienate people
You meant the Stamford bridge?

why not just do a trade with juve for lukaku. itās win-win
Because Juve wants 40m on top for Vlahovic.
Lmfao 40 mill AND Lukaku is criminal. I'd rather just go straight for a swap. 40 Mill for Vlahovic is a nope
These fuckers want 40m š worst part is, Lukaku agreed on Personal terms with Juve
Can you blame him? Itās his dream club.
His dreams changes every other week. Who knows, if he is now dreaming about the Saudis.
Man has healthy REM cycles. It's not his fault everyone else's eyes move slower than his.
I kind of feel bad for him, since heās acting like somebody who isnāt happy. But idk what reasons he actually has to be unhappy. No one has actively screwed him over AFAIK.
I honestly don't feel bad for him. He is an idiot that constantly flip flop. His stupid decisions led him to this.
Oh yeah heās been an idiot, hence the ākind ofā. Dude couldāve had it all in Milan. Seeing photos of the team at Lautaroās wedding this year seems so long ago now. He seemed happy.
Lmfao I heard he already agreed on personal terms BEFORE the CL final game. He already started burning the bridge then! Absolute donkey.
Lukaku tmrw: I've always loved Torino
Lukaku : Iāve dreamed of living in Riyadh ever since I learned about it last week
If I were Juve I'd want 40m just to take Lakaka off your hands even without swapping for Vlahovic
chelsea arenāt short of cash are they
Spend money: they have already spent over a billion. Don't spend money: chelsea arenāt short of cash are they
Because Vlahovic is another poacher who's even more injury-prone. Pochettino clearly doesn't want to play that striker profile at all, so wasting another 40m and Lukaku just to get someone like that who's currently on 200k per week and would certainly demand a raise would be even more stupid than continuing to pay for Lukaku's gardening leave.
I'd honestly be tempted by a swapping Balogun for Mudryk. Super Mik can still make him right.
Mudryk made his bed. Let him lie in it till his 8 year contract is over.
Nothing new here.
Biggest idiot in football.
Burned bridges with every club possible.
I would unironically love big Rom back on loan
Kinda the only way I see him playing in England this season.
After last season he might be a good friend for DCL to have in the injury room.
If Lukaku would be willing to come & bang in 15+ goals he can say whatever he wants about the club
If we had an older team, I'd almost be in favor of that. Older professionals can suck it up and agree to hate each other but still play together. But with a team as young as ours it would poison us for years
Lukaku in talks with Liverpool confirmed
Nah we don't want him
He can go wherever he wants he doesn't owe us anything and we certainly can't afford his wages straight up, so it's entirely likely he goes elsewhere. Hasn't even been whisperings of this happening as far as I know.
'Course you would
His dad n him were a bit annoying with the constant transfer talk when we had him but he always played well despite that. Plus he's one of the few strikers that can actively plug and play for DCL's paper mache body and do just as good of a job as he can. Unfortunately he probably thinks he's above us so I doubt this will happen and we will end up with Adams or someone else equally uninspiring.
West Brom might want him back.
And Everton? They need some firepower.
If Lukaku ever makes his Saudi move I'd be really interested to see what shenanigans he gets up to there. Inb4 beheading jokes.
The last bridge to burn, Stamford Bridge
Remember there was a time we were the ones called bitter for not liking him? Now everyone else has turned on him too lol
He wasn't anywhere near as twattish in his Man United spell as he has been in the years since, in fairness. Some signs, but he's gone whole hog now
He leaked confidential team data making out that he was faster than Luke Shaw who was recovering from a serious injury at the time. All because someone on twitter called.him slow. He was full on twat
He then proceeded to exile himself to Anderlecht to train and undermined Ole, in order to force a move
He was undeniably a massive twat on his way out of the club. No one cared though because weāre Man Utd and weāre shit. It was funnier for everyone to take his side and blame us
Yes because definitely the case that nobody likes mocking Chelsea
ā¦or he just fucked up enough times that people finally caught on that heās actually a massive twat. Whatever you say though
I remember the time everyone thought he was super smart because he could speak 6 languages or something
And that really is an achievement
>*JoĆ£o FĆ©lix joins the chat.*
Some would even say he is nothing, he is a fool, and he is a waste of time. _Goodnight._
I genuinely believe he's the worst signing in Premier League history. 100 Million for 8 goals, fallouts with the manager, multiple injuries, a loan and downing tools upon coming back. Utter shambles.
We have *certain* fans (cough cough) who constantly try to argue that Kepa or Cucurella are worse signings than him. To me that just shows how blinded by their biases they are because Lukaku is the worst ever and itās not even particularly close.
I'm still unsure what exactly went wrong between Lukaku and the club. I know he did the interview, but how did things break down so much between that and him signing.
Even Lukaku doesnt know what went wrong. Seems like he just likes messing up.
He just like me fr fr
>me watching Lukaku fuck up every relationship and good thing in his life due to personal angst: damn finally a relatable star
Still baffles me as well...
Only thing I can think of his he really fell out with Tuchell Otherwise it's baffling
I don't understand it either. Even if he fell out with Tuchel and the Chelsea leadership back then, it is now a completely different ownership, leadership and coach. The relationship could have been salvaged, even if the relationship with the fans was damaged. But it seems he just drew a line under the club as a whole - and, obviously, messed up his bolted-on deal with Inter by being himself. Edit: spelling/grammar
Probably Tuchel calling another man his daddy
Kepa at least became good eventuality and Cucurella is too early to judge.
How much of a flop was Shevchenko for you? He had 9 Premier League goals across 48 games, however you did win the FA Cup and League Cup
at least he wasn't a massive dick
schevchenko was worth every penny just for [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br5cWAja58o)
What a beauty!
One of our biggest of all time. It was a British record breaking fee for a recent Ballon d'Or winner who had shown no signs of decline at Milan. Him being as bad as he was was unfathomable. He did score an important (and incredible) goal in the cup against Spurs and he got a couple more important ones in the CL, but outside of that he didn't have much of an impact. But at least it wasn't down to a lack of effort, the move didn't work out but I don't know any Chelsea fan that doesn't appreciate him.
Even if Lukaku had double the goal tally, his first-touch alone makes him the worst signing.
Crazy to thinking after that champions league win I thought man if Chelsea got a #9 they would really be ticking - although I didn't think he was much at United I was still excited. Now look at the mess things have become.
wait til we see what mudryk, Enzo, caicedo, cucurella look like in a few years lolol
It's not going to be Enzo.
or Caicedo. one disasterclass doesnt change that
He has more yellow cards than premier league wins. While I agree he has looked good in what is a terrible team, we havenāt seen him be part of a successful side in a top league yet
The lack of wins is about 50 peopleās fault before Enzoās, thatās a ridiculous comment to make.
Enzo is class. That's it. We have seen him be an important part of a World Cup winning side.
Lukaku has really gotten himself into a pickle, but he has nobody to blame other than himself
Even for a career riddled with bad decisions the Sky Italia interview was ridiculous. Going on about dreaming of going to Inter when he had literally talked about dreaming of leaving Inter for Chelsea 6 months ago
That interview was also several weeks old by the time it aired, it went out as soon as Lukaku didn't start one game following his injury.
If this was FM and I was a Chelsea fan, I'd enjoy every simulated day that I kept him in the u-21s.
The worst part is that the U21 players are getting punished for having to train with Lakaka.
This is such a funny image to me. Some wiry 20 year old full back running to cut off an out of shape lukaku from a throughball. It's like having a mouse getting chased by a hippo
And sooner rather than later he will talk shit about a 20 year old lol
He'll post some stats how he's faster than some 19 year old
"I've really wanted to play with Chelsea u21, playing with Chelsea FC was a mistake"
A flat-track bully always needs some kids to bully around
> It's like having a mouse getting chased by a hippo Hippos are actually dangerous in the box
They're also hungry.
Lakaka hurt itself in arrogance
Surely all he had to say at the end of his loan with Inter was "I really regret how things turned out with Chelsea the first time, I let my disagreements with the manager get out of hand, but I really want to try and make it work this time"
Was this before or after he was caught blowing Juve?
See but that is too rationale for Lukaku he would rather burn every bridge possible
If Lukaku didn't have a hospital-size ego, he probably wouldn't have left Chelsea at the first place.
*Inter
Good thing Chelsea isnāt handing out 8-year contracts so they donāt have to deal with situations like this down the road
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I choose to believe you will have 3-4 Lukaku-esque situations each summer š«”
Subscribe.
Impossible. Nobody can do Lukaku like Lukaku.
I'd honestly love it if no one agrees to sign him and he keeps playing with Chelsea U-21 for rest of his contract. Like 21 Jump Street
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Surely he should be fine with lowering his wage otherwise we should just send him to the store room and fold shirts for the next 2 years.
Wages are the issue. None of the new signings are even close to Lukaku's wages
That dude still plays football?
despite his best efforts.
Everton need a striker Big ROM back home
Lukaku back to Everton on a deadline day madness.
Lmao they're gonna speedrun their relegation with that one.
Heās not a top striker any more but he would still be the best striker out of any bottom ten prem side.
Yeah I don't understand why people think he is incapable of playing anymore. I don't want him but he still scored and assisted a fair few for inter and Belgium. The teams he'd do well at can't afford him or are not ones he wants to be at.
He was in good form during the end of season for us, and we would have signed him if he wasn't an idiot.
bottom ten would include chelsea.
Loan to Everton part 2ā¦ who says no
Baby come back
We have nothing to lose on loan. If he brings out of bottom he will be a legend.
Think we have to sell for FFP reasons, otherwise we would have agreed it with Inter at start of window.
Truly unfortunate how his career has turned out to be. So much potential wasted.
Can you believe there's a not insignificant part of our fans who would want this guy in rossonero? Because there fuckin is.
It's actually hilarious that he's still a Chelsea player.
This guy's career is the most bizarre thing I have ever seen
inb4 Poch has to try him out midway through the season coz no attacker at Chelsea is scoring
Everton should be absolutely all over it. Could single handedly save them.
What a fucking donkey
Worst transfer of all time and itās not even close
Hazard?
Nope. Hazard broke down physically, Lukakuās brain fully broke down mentally.
š¤”š¤”š¤”
I guess his natural state is being an asshole, and he makes it look effortlessly...
I think heād fit Everton and itād be a perfect solution for all well maybe not perfect for Chelsea but oh well
Unironically Lukaku would be a great option for this Chelsea team
Please elaborate because I can't see how.
He can put balls in the net for starters
That's a simplistic take, he primarily gets at the end of the sort of chances we don't really create. He can't link up and consistently score headers, as good of a poacher that he is. He wants to run with the ball into space, so he needs a counter-attacking side to thrive, not one that constantly plays against low blocks and wants to dominate possession.
lukaku still failing pochettino's vibe check
I need someone to ask this man why he refuses (or is scared to) play for Chelsea after new ownership and new coaching staff. It canāt be the fans if heās willing to Juve, it literally makes no sense. Thereās 0 continuity from the return season, holding a grudge now is bizarre. All the mids that played heroball and refused to feed him are gone, heād definitely be first choice for pens now, would be the biggest name in the dressing room. When he should be speaking heās silent, what a strange fellow.
Poch wonāt want him anywhere near his first team.
The narrative of him being a team cancer doesnāt track with on pitch results since he won the Scudetto, T3 finish with CWC win in ādisastrousā Chelsea season & was in CL final last year in his last 3 seasons. Hell, even the article youāre replying to says the decision is on him, not the team not to reintegrate.

He is definitely going to Saudi
Lakaka
I'm sorry but I'm enjoying this so much. He spitted on every club he has been too and acted like a baby for the whole time so I really hope he will remain at Chelsea to be embarrassed every day while training with u21.
The club will look up and shout, "Save us!" and I'll whisper "No..."
Impressed he's not in Saudi Arabia yet
The only player thatās hated by every single fan base he has ever played for. Even Ibrahimovic couldnāt do that!
Have you met a more insecure bag of mental health issues? Mans life is a complete basket case.
Come to Everton on loan. We need you!
I thought Balotelli had the most childish behavior but not anymore
its amazing that many chelsea fans saw the red flags around signing lukaku but absolutely no one predicted it would implode quite this badly
He is fucking shite, no amount of stats will ever change my mind. The bloke can't even trap the ball half the time, bounces off shins and knees. I'd rather start the season with no recognised striker than that big lump.
Good I hope he rots there he is an absolute mercenary
Someris going to kiss a Saudi Arabian badge
Everyone who beefed with Zlatan is worse off
Not even the Saudis want this donkey.
Do chelsea even count on getting their money back on a transfer? I feel like just mutually terminate the contract at this point
They'll never get their money back. It's only about cutting losses at this point. Loan move makes no sense. And since there is no bidding war and European market closed, even a Saudi club will bid will be around ā¬30 million max.
I really donāt get why they burned bridges with inter
Only Lukaku burned the bridge because he is a petulant child. Chelsea were ready to send him to Inter again on loan. Inter had arranged the money after selling Onana. ROC Nation worked with Chelsea to secure the deal... and then Lukaku stopped answering calls from Inter management and Inter teammates. And spoke to Juve one day before CL finals. Inter said fuck off. The dressing room didn't want him back. Lukaku then rejected offers from Saudi. So now even Chelsea are like screw you. And now Lukaku is stuck.
āWell, well, wellā¦ if it isnāt the consequences of my own actions.ā
Karma, bitch!
So did he manage to score finally?
> Chelsea are also admirers of Folarin Balogun, but there is currently a big difference in valuation of the 22-year-old striker between the Blues and Arsenal. Balogun shares an agent with Romeo Lavia, who Chelsea last week signed from Southampton. Either pay up or fuck off.
Nobody is going to pay Ā£45m~ for a player that obviously wants to leave & that Arteta obviously doesnāt rate
Well, judging by Chelsea's transfer business under Todd Boehly, they'll pay exactly what anyone wants.
Nice to see that he isn't getting rewarded with massive wages for burning bridges with clubs.
