Video: Lukaku in training, a legend returns

By: Jack | August 11th, 2011
   

Romelu Lukaku’s transfer to Chelsea may not quite be a done deal. That hasn’t stopped the mammoth Belgian teenager from participating in training at Cobham, however.

No need to worry about that one falling through then. It looks as if just the particulars need to be sorted before he officially becomes a member of the club.

You may have also noticed a certain legend lurking about 42 seconds in. Indeed, Claude Makelele paid a visit to the training ground today. Absolutely superb to see him back around town. Hugging it out with England’s Brave? Lovely.

And, yeah, I still like the third shirt – very clean. Sue me.

  • Love seeing Makalele back at Cobham. Legend.

  • Mateo

    Claude be pimpin!

  • Yoshi

    Ouch! The kid broke his leg. Sad news indeed. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Great talent.

  • He actually didn't break his leg. Torn ligaments between his calf and shin. Out around a month, which means he's probably out of the question - at least until January.

  • Yoshi

    Thanks for the true info. Glad to hear his injury isn't that severe. Let's see where he goes in January.

  • As

    wait what? who's leg is injured?

  • De Bruyne, a transfer target of ours who we have discussed a few times.

  • Wayne

    Are you by any chance interested in Juan Mata, he plays for Valencia in Spain. Seems a little like David Silva.

  • Diego

    Yes Jack i want your thoughts on Juan Mata.

  • Yoshi

    What happened to Kevin De Bryne? Not coming?

  • ph0bolus

    I say we try and lure maka out of retirement with essien being injured and all. Would for me be the best signing of the summer!

    P.s. Lukaku is a monster of a kid.

  • Zildmaar123

    Lukaku is a beast!! Gonna terrorise some premiership defensives!!

  • Buzzi

    Cool to see him training with the team. Maybe puts to rest some of the ridiculous conclusions some of the media are drawing that the deal might be off just because the official announcement is delayed...
