Lukaku - The 19-year-old is currently enjoying a season-long loan-spell at the Hawthorns having scored 12 goals in 28 appearances, including three in his last two games. The Belgium international has revealed he would much rather spend his time away from football at home than out in nightclubs. "I don't want to be known as 'Romelu, the guy who leaves the nightclub and sprays Champagne over everyone'," former Anderlecht player Lukaku told the Birmingham Mail. "Some do and that's fun for them but you have little children looking up to you and being an example to the youth and you should stick to that. "I don't want to spend all my time focusing on going out or girls. I have a younger brother who looks up to me. I'm his prime example, then there's the rest of the family. "I'm always at home. I wake up at 8am and the first thing I do is pray. Then I call my mum to ask if everything is okay. I ask her if she needs something and then I call my dad.

So what if me and Conor Cullen are drunk atm atleast we so t don't ride IRA heads for Pokemon cards unlike the rest of your auntys

MOTD's John Motson at The Hawthorns: West Brom 2-1 Swansea "West Brom win after going behind in the first half and on an afternoon of many incidents, we have three to look back on. Romelu Lukaku's missed penalty, the own goal by Jonathan De Guzman which has settled the game and at the end the Swansea players were going up to the referee about the disallowed goal. I can understand why."

West Brom put a dampener on Swansea's mood following the news that manager Michael Laudrup had extended his contract with the Welsh club with a 2-1 win at the Hawthorns. The Capital One Cup winners forged ahead in the 33rd minute courtesy of an excellent header from Luke Moore, as he diverted Jonathan De Guzman's corner beyond Ben Foster. West Brom swiftly hit back thanks to an excellent first-time finish from in-form striker Romelu Lukaku, with the on-loan Chelsea man converting Graham Dorrans' low cross from the right flank after getting in front of his man for his fourth goal in three Premier League games. Lukaku missed a glorious opportunity to give his side the lead in the second half when his weak penalty, awarded after Wayne Routledge tangled with Billy Jones and James Morrison, was all too easy for Michel Vorm to save. But the Baggies took the lead when Gareth McAuley's towering header from a corner was cleared off the line by Angel Rangel, only for the ball to strike the back of De Guzman and fin ...

Romelu Lukaku has 7 goals in the 8 games he has played 80+ minutes

MOTD's John Motson at The Hawthorns: West Brom v Swansea (1500 GMT) "Who would have thought before the season started that these two sides would both have 40 points by the beginning of March? Just as Swansea have benefitted from the arrival of Michu, Albion have acquired a new edge in attack thanks to Romelu Lukaku. "I also think the form of Wayne Routledge has been a huge positive for Swansea, as has that of Ben Foster for West Brom. Regardless of Saturday's result, the two clubs can look forward to a top-10 finish. You would have had few takers on that outcome back in August."

Romelu Lukaku is currently the 4th highest goalscorer for players Under-21 years old in one season..in the history of the EPL.last year they were laughing @ Chelsea that we overpaid for a big chunk of nothing..

MATCH REPORT: CHELSEA 1 AND WESTBROM ALBION 0 Posted on: Sun 03 Mar 2013 Summary A single Demba Ba goal, scored from close-range in the first half, gave Chelsea a third home league win in a row. The Blues had the chances for more goals, Oscar in particular having a frustrating afternoon in front of the target, but it was a game that only found a high gear on a few occasions. The handful of times West Brom did threaten the Chelsea goal they found Petr Cech on-form and unbeatable. There was some neat approach play at times from the home team who claimed a deserved victory. Team news Frank Lampard returned to midfield to become Chelsea's joint third highest appearance maker of all-time and played alongside Ramires. Ahead was Juan Mata making it 100 Chelsea games in less than two years for the Spanaird who operated behind the returning Ba, with Oscar and Eden Hazard the wide midfielders. David Luiz partnered Branislav Ivanovic in central defence. West Brom, without on-loan Romelu Lukaku, were able to pass Sha ...

EPL- MATCH REPORT: Chelsea 1-0 West Brom: A first-half goal from Demba Ba relieved some of the pressure on Rafa Benitez as Chelsea earned a 1-0 win from a one-sided encounter with West Brom. The hosts opened the scoring courtesy of a well-worked set-piece as Ba latched onto a David Luiz header across, and were largely untested for the remainder of the game by the lacklustre Baggies. As was expected, Benitez made wholesale changes from his side's win over Middlesbrough in the FA Cup, as Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, Eden Hazard, Juan Mata and Demba Ba all returned to the starting XI. Steve Clarke, meanwhile, made two enforced changes as, with Romelu Lukaku unable to play against his parent club and captain Chris Brunt injured, Marc-Antoine Fortune and Graham Dorrans stepped in.

All Premier League's game preview: Chelsea v West Brom - Chelsea are expected to recall fit-again Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta after both defenders sat out the Blues' midweek FA Cup win. - Midfielder Yossi Benayoun is out with an ankle injury. - West Brom will be without top scorer Romelu Lukaku, who is ineligible to play against his parent club. - The Baggies have Isaiah Brown in their squad and, at 16 years and 54 days, he could become the youngest-ever player to appear in the Premier League. Everton v Reading - Everton hope to welcome back top scorer Marouane Fellaini, who missed the FA Cup win over Oldham with a knee injury. - Goalkeeper Tim Howard is a doubt after picking up a knock in that match against the Latics. - Reading striker Pavel Pogrebnyak begins a three-match suspension after being sent off last week, so Nick Blackman or Adam Le Fondre will start. - Goalkeeper Alex McCarthy and forward Jason Roberts remain sidelined with respective shoulder and hip injuries.

Chelsea loaned star Romelu Lukaku is ineligible to play against his parent club today. Relief

PRE-MATCH BRIEFING: CHELSEA VRS WESTBROM ALBION March begins with the month's only Saturday fixture. Club historian Rick Glanvill and club statistician Paul Dutton build up to the traditional kick-off time with their traditional preview… TALKING POINTS Following a thoroughly efficient 2-0 victory at the Riverside in the FA Cup the focus swings back to main business of any football club, the league campaign. West Brom were the second competitive visitors to Stamford Bridge way back in 1905. In the present day Chelsea have enjoyed home wins on the spin in the Barclays Premier League and we have a 100 per cent home record against the Baggies, who are managed by popular former Chelsea player and coach, Steve Clarke. Albion will also be without another Blue, their man of the moment, Romelu Lukaku. The striker, benefiting from playing regularly, has netted six of the Baggies' last 10 goals but is ineligible under the terms of his loan from Stamford Bridge. KEY STAT Chelsea are aiming for a ninth successive wi ...

Rafa Benitez snapped last night and launched a blistering atack on Chelsea and their fans - before claiming he will leave the club in the summer. Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand claims fans who compare Gareth Bale to Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo know nothing about football.

Stoke boss Tony Pulis is lining up a summer move for Bolton left-back Marcos Alonso, 21, after missing out on him last month.

Out-of-favour Cardiff City striker Robert Earnshaw is in talks to sign for Major League Soccer outfit Toronto on loan. Rafa Benitez headed for the Chelsea exit door last night after slating fans for not supporting the club . Sir Alex Ferguson has moved to quell dressing room unrest by telling his fringe players they can still play a part in Manchester United's treble quest. B ...

Romelu Lukaku told us after the game on Saturday that he hopes his partnership with Shane Long can flourish in the coming months. But our question to you today is what do you think is the greatest Albion strike partnership in the history of the club? Which two forwards do you feel were the finest duo?

Chelsea face stiff competition to sign Everton star Marouane Fellaini, with Real Madrid, Manchester City and Manchester United all considering a move for the midfielder.The Blues were heavily linked to the Belgian international during the January transfer window and, according to reports in the Daily Mail, they might now face rival bids from Europe's elite should they make another move in the summer. Fellaini was signed by Everton boss David Moyes for a club record £15million in 2008, and after five years at Goodison Park, it is believed the Belgian is keen to move in order to play Champions League football.Everton have denied Fellaini's £75,000-a-week contract includes a £24m buy-out clause, but should the Toffees fail in their bid to finish inside the top four, expect bids within this region for the midfielder.Fellaini would join a large Belgian contingent at Chelsea if he moved to Stamford Bridge, including Eden Hazard and loaned-out players Romelu Lukaku, Thibaut Courtois and Kevin De Bruyne. The B ...

Chelsea careerEden Hazard agreed terms to sign for Chelsea in June 2012 from Lille in France, where he had played since 2005, and became the fourth Belgian to join the club following the arrivals of Thibaut Courtois, Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne.

Shane Long reckons Romelu Lukaku should return to West Brom next season if he wants to become 'the complete striker'.

Ron Atkinson has said the Young Player of the Year award is between two players; Jack Wilshere and Romelu Lukaku.

So far we've played Community Shield, Premier League, Super Cup, World Club Cup, League Cup, FA Cup & Now Europa League so why the F**K did we loan out Michael Essien, Josh McEachran, Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku :/

Peter Odemwingie returned to action for West Brom and he was roundly booed when he came on as a substitute against Sunderland. The Baggies won 2-1 courtesy of two goals from on-loan striker, Romelu Lukaku, whom Odemwingie replaced in the 87th minute.

Romelu Lukaku scored in both halves as West Bromwich Albion picked up the points in a 2-1 victory over Sunderland.

FULL-TIME: Albion 2 (Lukaku pen 35, 75) Sunderland 1 (Sessegnon 80) The Baggies picked up where they left off after the break and finally got their reward when powerhouse Romelu Lukaku netted his 12th goal of the season to make it 2-0. The Belgium international raced past John O'Shea on the right touchline before chasing Titus Bramble's short back-pass and charging down fellow countryman Simon Mignolet's clearance to net. Stephane Sessegnon pulled one back to make it a nervy final ten minutes for the hosts. But thanks to two superb saves from Ben Foster and surviving a late James McClean scare Albion held out for a deserved win.

You gotta think Reds... How hard would it be for us to sign Romelu Lukaku? -Lee-

HALF-TIME: Albion 1 (Lukaku pen 35) Sunderland 0 It was a shaky first 20 minutes from the Baggies but they finally got their passing game going and put the Black Cats under pressure. Romelu Lukaku proved a constant menace and he coolly slotted home the opener from the spot - his 11th goal of the season - after Craig Gardner had handled his former Blues team-mate Liam Ridgewell's cross. With a bit more fortune in the penalty area Steve Clarke's men could have been further ahead at the break.

Come back Romelu Lukaku and Michael Essien

Special report and pictures: West Bromwich Albion legend Cyrille Regis gives his thoughts on Romelu Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku (West Bromwich Albion): Lukaku continued his generally excellent play yesterday afternoon, as WBA knocked off Liverpool 2-0. He scored the second Albion goal in stoppage time, probably putting to bed any thoughts that Liverpool had about qualifying for the Champions League. Thanks Romelu!' 'Thibaut Courtois (Atletico Madrid): Courtois had on of the less impressive games he's played in a while, as Atletico were beaten 2-1 on the weekend.

'Michael Essien (Real Madrid): Essien had a solid 90 minutes for Mourinho's side as they cruised to a 4-1 victory.

West Brom record a Premier League double over Liverpool and a double at Anfield after their success last season. The turning point in the match came when the hosts were awarded a penalty with 12 minutes remaining, but the brilliant Ben Foster made a stunning stop to deny Steven Gerrard's right-foot strike from going in. And Albion made them pay with a late smash and grab raid. Firstly, Gareth McAuley powered his header home from a corner kick and then as the game entered stoppage time, Steve Clarke's side finished things off with a counter-attacking goal of real quailty. Chris Brunt found Romelu Lukaku and the substitute finished coolly for his 10th goal of the season. Their first win in nine games takes the Baggies back above their opponents into eighth on 37 points.

What does Romelu Lukaku have in common with Juan Mata this season? Answer: both players have scored 10 EPL goals. More than Fernando Torres.

Take a look at the great goal from Romelu Lukaku yesterday against Liverpool! (video)

West Bromwich Albion's Gareth McAuley (R) celebrates scoring the opening goal against Liverpool West Bromwich Albion completed a stunning Premier League double over Liverpool on Monday with a 2-0 win at Anfield after Steven Gerrard missed a chance to put the home side ahead with a second-half penalty. Gareth McAuley headed home in the 80th minute, with what was only the Baggies' second attempt on goal in a lop-sided game, to break the deadlock and substitute Romelu Lukaku doubled the tally 10 minutes later. The victory marked a dream return to Anfield for manager Steve Clarke, the former Liverpool assistant coach, after his side beat Liverpool 3-0 in the opening game of the season. The visitors leapfrogged Liverpool to take eighth place on 37 points, behind Swansea City on goal difference. Liverpool have 36. Goalkeeper Ben Foster was the hero on the night, saving Gerrard's 76th minute spot kick after Luis Suarez went down under a challenge from Jonas Olsson. Foster also denied Gerrard in the 50th, when h ...

Liverpool was stunned at Anfield today going down to West Bromwich Albion 2-0 thanks to a Gareth McAuley header and a Romelu Lukaku special in the English Premier League fixture at Anfield.

Steve Clarke claimed Albion had a team full of heroes last night after the Baggies earned a 2-0 victory at Anfield. Albion were put under sustained pressure from the hosts and had Ben Foster to thank after making a number of top-class saves – including a penalty from England captain Steven Gerrard. The visitors failed to have a shot until the 80th minute when Youssouf Mulumbu was denied by a flying Pepe Reina. But from the resulting corner, defensive rock Gareth McAuley headed the ball home to give Albion an unexpected lead. It got better for the Baggies nine minutes later when substitute Romelu Lukaku powered through a tired Liverpool defence to slot home under Reina to record Albion’s first ‘double’ over the Reds in more than four decades. “I’m delighted for the lads,” said Clarke. “Tonight for me they are all heroes. “I’m just satisfied that my players have got some reward for a *** of an effort tonight. “To come here and win is a great effort from the players. “They’ve given ...

Brendan Rodgers admitted his disappointment following Liverpool's 2-0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion at Anfield on Monday night – but insisted he could not fault the efforts of his players. Late goals from Gareth McAuley and Romelu Lukaku secured a shock win for the visitors after the Reds had dominated the contest throughout but were ultimately left frustrated by an outstanding display by Ben Foster. The Baggies goalkeeper kept Liverpool at bay with a string of saves, including a 77th minute penalty stop from Steven Gerrard in front of the Kop. Rodgers reflected: "The players gave everything in the game. "After all the shots and attempts at goal, we just couldn't make the breakthrough - and the longer it goes on, it gives the opponent that wee bit more encouragement. "But I can't fault the players. I thought they gave everything tonight - it was just one of those games where we needed that first goal." In total, Liverpool had 25 efforts at West Brom's goal, with seven on target. Rodgers added: "The pla ...

On an evening of frustration at Anfield, Liverpool failed to build on their recent resurgence as they succumbed to a smash-and-grab raid by West Bromwich Albion, who earned their first victory of 2013 through late goals by Gareth McAuley and substitute Romelu Lukaku. It was a defiant performance by…

Gareth McAuley and Romelu Lukaku completed a remarkable turnaround for West Brom after Steven Gerrard saw his penalty saved

Hard Tackle Liverpool's top-four hopes took a huge blow as they fell to a shock 2-0 defeat to West Brom at Anfield. After dominating for much of the game, the Reds wasted a chance to score as Steven Gerrard's penalty was saved by Ben Foster and the Baggies took advantage as Gareth McAuley and Romelu Lukaku struck late on. Question Is Brendan Rodgers still the man to lead Liverpool to glory?

Gareth McAuley and Romelu Lukaku scored late goals as West Brom pinched a remarkable victory at Liverpool to a end a sequence of six games without victory in the Premier League.

Lucas Leiva could make his 200th Liverpool appearance against West Brom on Monday. The 26-year-old would become only the 103rd player to reach two centuries for the Reds. Those who have passed the milestone in recent memory include Martin Skrtel, Dirk Kuyt and Xabi Alonso. Meanwhile, Glen Johnson could play his 100th league game for Liverpool. Here are some other interesting stats about Monday's game at Anfield courtesy of club statistician Ged Rea: In the Premier League the clubs have met 13 times, with the Reds winning 10 and losing three. All 10 victories have been earned without conceding a single goal. There has never been a Premier League draw between the sides. Liverpool have lost only four of the last 36 league meetings home and away with three of those coming in the last five clashes. The teams met on the opening day of the season (it was Brendan Rodgers' first league game in charge of the Reds) with the Baggies winning 3-0.

EMENALO NEEDS TO ANSWER ESSIEN QUESTIONS Michael Essien did not look out of place in the Copa El Clasico last week, getting around the Bernabeu pitch and rattling Barcelona's stars. And how Chelsea missed such a physical presence against Moussa Sissoko after his powerhouse performance inspired Newcastle United to a famous victory on Saturday. Rafa Benitez has complained about his squad being short, but Chelsea had the option to recall Essien last month - and passed. Just as they did with all 23 players out on-loan this season. You can understand the need for the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Patrick van Aanholt (whose turned his career around at Vitesse Arnhem) needing to stay out to continue their development, but Essien is now 30 and readymade. He's reached full match fitness at Real and would've slotted in nicely alongside Frank Lampard at St James' Park. We've heard plenty from Benitez, Ron Gourlay and Bruce Buck this season, but very little from football director Michael Emenalo. Blues fans deserve an i ...

Everyone keeps saying that we need to buy more players and need more depth... so why do we have 22 players out on lone. Romelu Lukaku would improve the current Chelsea squad - that's a fact. The Belgium striker has been in fine form for West Bromwich and, though Benitez can recall him, will be allowed to stay in the West Midlands. The same goes for Thibaut Courtois, who is first-choice goalkeeper at Atletico Madrid. Ten times the stopper Ross Turnbull is, Courtois would be fighting with Petr Cech for the No 1 shirt. Looking at the loan list, there are a number of players who would be useful to have around. With John Mikel Obi in Africa and Oriol Romeu injured, Benitez needs a defensive midfielder. Nathaniel Chalobah and Michael Essien would be able to perform this role. Josh McEachran has been impressing at Middlesbrough too, and would ease the pressure in the middle. The versatile Kevin De Bruyne would be a far better option to have on the bench or in the team than the ineffective Marko Marin. Of course, ...

GOAL. Everton 2-1 West Brom. The sub makes an instant impact and it's one John Heitinga won't want to see again. Romelu Lukaku rounded Tim Howard out wide only to scuff his centre across the box. The Dutchman's clearance lacked conviction however and allowed Long to head into an unguarded net. Better news though - Darron Gibson has just come on to make his comeback from injury. The Irishman replaces Kevin Mirallas.

Share As Rafa Benitez complains of the fatigue eating away at his thin squad, Chelsea have an army of 22 players on loan to clubs around the world. The number is almost double that of next-in- line Arsenal who have 12 players plying their trade elsewhere, while Tottenham have 11 and Manchester United 10. Chelsea's include 19-year-old Lucas Piazon at Malaga, Michael Essien at Real Madrid and in- form Romelu Lukaku at West Bromwich Albion but Benitez insists none of these players are able to help ease the burden. Some are locked into long loans, unable to return mid-season, and most are simply too young and inexperienced for the types of challenge facing Chelsea.

Rafael Benitez blames Chelsea's lack of depth for their poor form and trophy failures this season...yet they have Lucas Piazon, Gael Kakuta, Josh McEachran, Romelu Lukaku, Michael Essien and Thibaut Courtois out on loan...think its time for chelsea to ship out another manager.

As if Romelu Lukaku is only 19.. Saying that, nought on him compared to Adebayo Akinfenwa or a 3 year old Emile Heskey!

Romelu Lukaku and Steve Clarke give their thoughts on the defeat to the Royals

Premier League, Madejski Stadium - Reading 3 (Kebe 82, Le Fondre 88 pen, Pogrebnyak 90) West Bromwich Albion 2 (Lukaku 19, 69) Reading staged a remarkable comeback, scoring three times in the last 10 minutes to beat West Bromwich Albion 3-2 and move off the bottom of the Premier Legaue table. The visitors had looked in complete control thanks to a brace from the excellent Romelu Lukaku. But a Jimmy Kebe header gave the home side hope with eight minutes remaining before an Adam Le Fondre penalty and Pavel Pogrebnyak goal secured the unlikeliest of comebacks. Victory for Brian McDermott’s side moves them two points clear of bottom side QPR after securing 10 points from their last five games but West Brom stay seventh after a recent slump in form. An injury-ravaged West Brom were missing key defenders Steven Reid and Goran Popov and forwards Peter Odemwingie and Shane Long, playing Lukaku on his own up front.

Kieron Dyer scored late on to give QPR a 1-1 FA Cup draw with West Brom. Kieron Dyer grabbed a last-gasp equaliser as QPR drew 1-1 with West Brom in their all-Premier League FA Cup third round tie at Loftus Road. The Baggies had already beaten QPR in two league meetings this term and, having triumphed 2-1 at Loftus Road on Boxing Day, they looked set to depart triumphant again when Shane Long scored with 11 minutes left, only for Dyer to level with his first ever goal for the R's. QPR made a bright start to the tie and Esteban Granero's corner almost crept into the net before Adel Taarabt's shot crashed into his team mate Ji-Sung Park. However, West Brom quickly found their feet and Gabriel Tamas and George Thorne were both off-target with efforts from outside the box. James Morrison then shot straight at Julio Cesar and the QPR goalkeeper was called into action again five minutes later, keeping out a Long effort from distance and getting up to deny Romelu Lukaku, who had latched onto the rebound. At the ...

Chelsea What they need in a nutshell: At least one striker, maybe more. Window shopping: Strikers. At least one and maybe two if Daniel Sturridge is sold and Romelu Lukaku stays on loan at West Brom.

QPR 1 West Brom 1: Full time report. Kieron Dyer rescued QPR's FA Cup hopes with an injury-time equaliser to earn a third round replay against West Brom. Dyer struck with a left-foot shot with just seconds to go after Shane Long had put West Brom in front in a cup tie lacking in guile. It was Dyer's first top-flight goal since May 2007 and it keeps QPR's rejuvenation going following their midweek Barclays Premier League victory against Chelsea. QPR boss Harry Redknapp, however, also had goalkeeper Julio Cesar to thank for making a series of fine saves which included parrying a point-blank header from West Brom striker Romelu Lukaku. The rows and rows of empty seats in a crowd of just 8,984 at Loftus Road suggested the romance with the FA Cup is declining with the fans but Redknapp, for one, has a soft spot for the famous old competition and not just because he lifted the trophy four years ago with Portsmouth. He also engineered a famous victory over Manchester United when at Bournemouth. So when he insist ...

I wonder how Romelu Lukaku's feeling over at West Bromwich Albion...

Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke scored a penalty and gave an assist in the 2-2 draw against Swansea City. West Brom striker Romelu Lukaku scored again, but despite his goal the Baggies lost 1-2 to Fulham. Vincent Kompany (Man. City), Jan Verthongen and Moussa Dembele (Tottenham) easily won their home games, while Thomas Vermaelen (Arsenal) drew at Southampton.

Steve Clarke has not spoken to Chelsea about the possibility of losing Romelu Lukaku and hopes the striker will see out the season with West Bromwich Albion. Clarke is trying not to think about the prospect of Lukaku heading back to Stamford Bridge and wants to retain the squad he started the season with. West Brom feeling December schedule "We haven't had any dialogue with Chelsea about Romelu," Clarke told Sky Sports after the 2-1 loss to Fulham. "There is a period in January where they can recall him. Like I said before, we can't affect it, so I prefer not to talk about it. "I've said all along that the squad I started the season with, I wanted to keep for the whole season. "Rom is a part of that squad and, if we can keep him here, that would be great."

Steve Clark hopes to keep Romelu Lukaku on loan.

CLOSE! West Brom are close to a leveller. James Morrison runs clear into the area and fires in a cross which Romelu Lukaku can't quite reach. Shane Long retrieves the loose ball and crosses in for Lukaku to head wide. What a handful Lukaku is. (Adam)

GOAL! And the rocket from Steve Clarke must of worked a charm as West Brom level it through Romelu Lukaku. The Chelsea loanee profits from a nice Billy Jones cross to level it 1-1.

Ba move detrimental to Lukaku on Sunday, it emerged that the west London side are believed to have met with the representatives of Newcastle United striker Demba Ba. The Senegal international has long been linked with a move away from St. James' Park as a result of a release clause, thought to be around £7.5m, inserted into his contract from when he left West Ham United. The performances of Fernando Torres saw the blues linked with a move for a new striker in January and while Radamel Falcao had been the reported preference of owner Roman Abramovich, it now appears Ba is the man set to move to Stamford Bridge. While Torres is likely to feel the heat of the increase in competition, one player on the books is likely to suffer as a result of the Newcastle front-man – Romelu Lukaku. The Belgium international was signed from Anderlecht 18-months ago but has made just 12 appearances over the season. As a result, the 19-year-old was shipped out on loan to West Bromwich Albion and has now begun to showcase why ...

Sturridge to leave Chelsea for £12 million deal by Liverpool. Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku wants to remain on loan till Summer. -SV-

Every time this player features in the Atletico Madrid lineup, you can sense the trembling of the defenders on the opposition team. Some may rise to the challenge of stopping the 26-year-old former Porto striker, while others—and this is the vast majority—seem to enjoy the worst game of their career as Falcao arrives to make a mockery of their defending. This guy is serious about his football and, obviously, scoring goals. He arrived at the Vicente Calderon with huge pressure placed on his shoulders, with the £34 million signing the star at Atletico after Sergio Aguero left for Manchester City last summer. But Falcao absorbs the pressure. No, he doesn't just absorb it. He relishes it. He lives for it. Chelsea fans won't need to be reminded of his hat trick against the Blues in the European Super Cup as they prepare for the biggest transfer of the year. He is one of the most feared strikers in world football, and rightly so, for Falcao has scored a mammoth total of 49 goals in just 54 games in the cal ...

Who is your favourite Chelsea player currently loaned out at the moment? And is there any Chelsea should call back to play? 1. Michael Essien (Real Madrid) 2. Yossi Benayoun (West Ham) 3. Patrick van Aanholt (Vitesse Arnhem) 4. Kevin De Bruyne (SV Werder Bremen) 5. Romelu Lukaku (West Bromwich) 6. Thorgan Hazard, Eden's little brother (SV Zulte-Waregem) 7. Thibaut Courtois, a GK (Atlético de Madrid) 8. Josh McEachran (Middlesbrough FC) Personally my favourites are Lukaku and McEachran.
