Romelu Lukaku is not who we need at Arsenal! by SK
The season is almost ended (well for Arsenal anyway!) and the transfer rumours have started flowing; many players are being linked to Arsenal and out of Arsenal but the transfer rumour that caught my attention, is the one linking us to Lukaku.
Romelu Lukaku is an exciting Belgian who is enjoying his football at the moment at Everton. He has been at Everton for three seasons now; first on loan and now as a permanent player for them. He has consistently been on the top scorers chart in the premiership and has the build of a typical premiership striker. Any club will be glad to have him play for them but do we need him at Arsenal? I doubt he would make an impact at Arsenal.
Chelsea brought Lukaku to England with the hope that he would replace Didier Drogba. The Ivorian had a successful career at Chelsea, winning the Champions league in the process. He scored great goals against teams he played. He was a thorn in our defence whenever we played Chelsea and his departure was surely going to be felt, but did Lukaku give Chelsea what they wanted? That is another story for another day. But the fact that he hardly played games for them, meant he did not impress them, which was why he was loaned to Everton before being eventually sold to them. He couldn’t make it at a big club and i doubt if he will make an impact at Arsenal.
Oliver Giroud and Lukaku are two same kind of players and we don’t need another Giroud in Arsenal. If Sanchez decides to stay, good for us but if he decides to leave, then we need to go for a player of his type who will not only score goals for us both also improve our games. Lukaku is a success at Everton, probably because he is used to playing for clubs with little pressure for success, which Arsenal is not! Arsenal is a big club and we need big game players. Lukaku is good but simply not the best for us. We don’t need him Gooners, or do we?
