Lukaku will learn a lot from him. Eto'o has years of experience to
hand over. @>>>>>> strike force that Chelsea should have had apart
from mourinho not fancying lukaku then not fancying eto'o...

Corny dear chap.

Lukaku is a decent striker but not at the level of Costa.

He asked to go on loan last season after screwing up in the Super Cup. He wanted time on the ball and knew he wasn't going to get it at Chelsea because he was not ready. He then decided he wanted to leave Chelsea and had his agent talk to various clubs. If he had been world class, one would have imagined his agent would have been talking to PSG and Real Madrid but he didn't. He spoke to Spurs and Everton; two decent sides but neither can promise Champions League football. In other words, he knew his limitations. He knew that with those limitations he would never be first choice striker at Chelsea.

Eto'o. Great player; past his best. Drogba is, for a good number of reasons a better choice than him.

Good luck to both of them but don't try and assert that this is a "mistake" by Mourinho or an example of his ego or whatever else comes to mind.
