Romelu Lukaku\u2019s future is no doubt a shade murky at present and largely undecided \u2013 and Simon Jordan says he has \u2018now got himself to look at\u2019 whilst his career remains on hold.<\/p>\n
Chelsea\u2019s new popular manager Mauricio Pochettino has supposedly not held any significant conversations with the Belgian striker since his return to Stamford Bridge after having been on loan with Inter Milan.<\/p>\n
talkSPORT<\/em> disclosed earlier this week that the problematic Belgian\u00a0has attracted interest from Juventus\u00a0and other European clubs nut the outspoken pundit Jordan is clearly unapologetic about his lack of compassion for the Chelsea striker. The Blues are also expected to urge Lukaku to agree to a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia although no deal has materialised yet, with the striker remaining awkwardly in limbo.<\/p>\n \u201cThe situation hasn\u2019t changed,\u201d Pochettino said when asked for an update on the Belgian striker\u2019s future. \u201cAlways I tell you, all can happen.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the moment, the situation didn\u2019t change. It\u2019s a situation that was really clear before we arrived here. We are really relaxed.<\/p>\n \u201cIf his and club\u2019s wish is to find a solution, the player and club will inform me to change. I will not move until the player or the club come to talk with me. It was [all decided] before I arrived.\u201d<\/p>\n Inter\u2019s interest in signing the Belgian on a long-term deal quickly evaporated into thin air when they discovered he\u2019d also been speaking to rivals Juventus chief and Juve\u2019s irate fans are now up in arms\u00a0against him signing for them.<\/p>\n Although with three years left on his contract, it remains to be seen where Lukaku will end up, despite the season already being underway. Regarding this situation, Jordan says the Chelsea striker only has himself to blame.<\/p>\n \u201cHe wanted to behave like that, there\u2019s consequences for it,\u201d Jordan said on White and Jordan.<\/p>\n \u201cNo one is bigger than the football clubs. As soon as some of the football clubs realise it, the better it will be. Romelu Lukaku opened this can of whoop a*** on himself, so he gets on with it doesn\u2019t he.\u201d<\/p>\n The former Crystal Palace owner continued: \u201cI\u2019ve got no sympathy for him, because ultimately there was no necessity to do what he did.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was no necessity to turn it into the ridiculousness that he did, and he\u2019s now got himself to look at, which is a very talented footballer, sitting in the reserves at Chelsea, which Chelsea don\u2019t want and no one else seems to want at this moment, and why is that?<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s got nothing to do with talent. Nothing to do with talent, it\u2019s everything to do with attitude. Look at the stories of his attitude at Man United. This isn\u2019t something that manifested itself at Chelsea because Thomas Tuchel didn\u2019t play him where he wanted to play him.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is something inherent in the boy\u2019s outlook, what\u2019s he got for it? A big bag of money and no game time, wonderful, and he\u2019s a smart kid as well.<\/p>\n \u201cSeven, eight languages he speaks and he\u2019s an impressive footballer in so many ways, except when it comes to applying himself and understanding where he fits in on the cog. Which is, he\u2019s part of the wheel, he isn\u2019t THE wheel.\u201d<\/p>\n Lukaku also apparently had similar issues at Man United, claiming the club left him in a \u2018deep hole\u2019.<\/p>\n The Blues are understood to want a fee in the region of \u00a335-\u00a338million for Lukaku \u2013 a huge loss for a player that arrived for a then-club record fee of \u00a397.5million just two years ago.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
