Lukaku rues lack of Chelsea chance:
http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1555415/on-loan-everton-striker-romelu-lukaku-rues-lack-chelsea-chance?cc=5901

"After last year, I think I deserved a chance. Just a chance. Like I did a year earlier, before I went to West Brom. I thought I deserved a chance, and I went on loan to West Brom. I did well."

"So this year, I have a point to prove to myself -- to do it again -- and then to Chelsea as well, to show that I can be the No.1 for them as well."

"I had a few talks with the manager about playing regularly and the importance of it -- because I didn’t think I could afford another season on the bench -- or maybe playing one out of three at my age, especially with the World Cup coming up."

"So I talked with him a few times, and came to a decision that going on loan was the best thing to do again. It was my choice. I wanted to play as much as possible."

Why the face palm? If I was Lukaku I would have wanted to be given a chance for the team I signed for after a good loan

But then again, succeeding in Everton would give the Kraken a better chance at shining that'll improve his chances for Belgium selection

Facepalming at the club, not him. He's spot on.

Well at least he'll be playing almost every game.

That's the outstanding positive in all this, certainly.

'Chelsea is my future' says Lukaku, as Roberto Martinez says striker can become a Premier League great:

Really good piece here. Don't want to post all the quotes as it'll look an essay, but it's well worth a read.
