Makes you wonder what would have happened if Chelsea tried to bring him through the first team rather than spending £50m on Nando.

Not really, they don't have much experience with players that are not ready-made stars...

Looks like they are grooming this star quite well. Nice to have patience sometimes.

Lukaku is benefiting from being key cog in his current squad at West Brom with no pressure, why recall him only to throw him into the fire that is being a striker at Chelsea right now.

Speaking of Chelsea strikers. Despite costing £50M, I understand that Torres is on wages north of £200K/week. Will Roman eventually get tired of paying that? Especially with guys like Ba and eventually Lukaku making considerably less?

It's going well now but if Abromovich had shown patience earlier on Lukaku could have been further ahead in his development and Chelsea could have saved money on a couple of severance packages.

fantastic strike. Without the build-up, RVP falling over the cameraman really looks clumsy in that first gif.

United`s getting more scoring from the fullbacks, than the mids.
