Graham Potter; Buying Lukaku did not help Chelsea striker issue before and certainly not now
Graham Potter has slammed the idea of Lukaku return; Buying Lukaku did not help Chelsea striker issue before and certainly not now.
Chelsea needs the right striker and not a returning Inter Milan Flop pointed out Graham Potter to the idea of Lukaku return and he has also stated that Aubameyang is not also the striker Chelsea needs.
Spending £100m on Romelu Lukaku not long ago, and within 12 months he was out on loan is this a good idea to say the leasy?
The answer is simple no and we all know this.
Graham Potter:
"I don't know whether this was the case but from the outside, it seemed #Chelsea had a problem with scoring goals and they spent close to £100M on a no.9 who was meant to fix the problem. As far as I can see, it didn't fix the problem."

He’s absolutely right, you can’t just throw money at a problem and expect it to work.
On the other hand, given the new owners have thrown money at every other problem, you’d have thought it was worth adding the most pressing one of all to the list, just to see if it worked.
You had two windows, and the best option you could come up with was… Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang?
