Revile of Chelsea's number 9 shirt strikes again as failure Lukaku leaves
Torres, Falcao, Morata, Higuain and presently the Belgian neglected to sparkle wearing number 9
Romelu Lukaku leaves Chelsea and gets once again to Inter Milan subsequent to slumping at Stamford Bridge briefly time in his profession. He should hurt. He was resolved he would get it solidly in his additional opportunity, however he has fizzled.
The Belgian global was never viewed as sufficient for the Blues back in 2011 when he was only a young fellow and beginning in the game. He had shown up at the London club from Anderlecht where he scored 33 objectives in 73 games yet in his 10 appearances for Chelsea he didn't track down the rear of the net. He was not even on the seat more often than not and obviously he was credited out to West Brom where he recovered certainty and demonstrated what a staggering striker he can be by snatching 17 objectives in 35 games - and that too for a striving side.
Credit moves
Yet, his bosses were as yet not dazzled and permitted him to again go out borrowed, this chance to Everton. He again demonstrated he can do the business in the Premier League by snatching 15 objectives in 35 appearances for the Toffees, who burned through no time in making his arrangement long-lasting. The Goodison Park unwavering took to Lukaku right away. Everton have forever been known for their large, solid number 9's from Dixie Dean, Graeme Sharp and all the more as of late Duncan Ferguson. Lukaku was most certainly in that form and in his most memorable season playing under Roberto Martinez - his momentum global chief - he terminated Everton to a fifth set finish. He would play a sum of 110 games for Everton scoring multiple times. Man Utd made a proposal for the then 27-year-old that Everton couldn't deny. He would get 28 objectives in 68 appearances for the Red Devils however was presently conveying a ton of additional stuff and had started to blur. The hazardous speed was no more and his most memorable touch would reliably let him down. The Old Trafford club chose to trade out while they could and his next stop was Inter Milan in Serie A.
The Italian association is known for its more slow speed and Lukaku cherished playing there. It provided him with another rent of life and in 72 games he ravaged 47 objectives to help Inter to the title. He misunderstood demonstrated his cynics and he was back sought after.
There was simply going to be one club he would move to - Chelsea. He had incomplete business there and the London club broke their exchange record by re-marking him for an incredible £97.5 million. Presently a more established and savvier figure, many felt he would be a raised a ruckus around town time around. Yet, under Thomas Tuchel and a spic and span style of football that he was not used to playing, Lukaku again started to battle. The speed of the Premier League was likewise a lot for the large man and it didn't improve the situation when he dropped out with his German mentor. His touch, indeed, let him down severely and he was before long dropped to the seat and undesirable. His vocation had again experienced a plunge, incidentally by and by with Chelsea. In all contests, he oversaw only 15 objectives in 44 games. Not sufficient.
spent almost £450 million on 13 unique strikers since Didier Drogba left in 2012. He was the last place ahead to have an effect, getting 100 objectives in 226 games, as a matter of fact. Nicolas Anelka and Diego Costa were relative triumphs yet the scourge of the number 9 shirt has struck a few high profile strikers at the club before.
Attempted yet fizzled
Chris Sutton was a major appearance from Blackburn back in 1999 for a then enormous £10 million. He had brought home the championship with the Lancashire club and a great deal was normal from the Englishman yet he just got 3 objectives in 39 games. Mateja Kezman was one more striker with a hot standing who neglected to sparkle. The Serbian forward would score just 4 objectives in 25 appearances. And afterward came an odd move by the club who were obviously frantic to break the revile - they marked midfielder Steve Sidwell from Reading and gave him the number 9 shirt! Indeed, believe it or not. A middle midfielder wearing number 9! It didn't work out either, as in his 25 games he scored only a single time. Then in 2011 came Spain legend Fernando Torres who during his four years at Liverpool scored 81 objectives in 142 games. A lot was normal however even he slumped. 45 strikes in 172 games was not sufficient despite the fact that Blues fans say his objective against Barcelona to seal a spot in the 2012 Champions League last merited each penny of his £50 million exchange charge.
Radamel Falcao, Alvaro Morata, and even Gonzalo Higuain have worn that pullover and neglected to convey. Lukaku is its most recent casualty and whoever Chelsea gets straightaway, any reasonable person would agree he will need some other number yet 9…
