"I couldn't see myself staying at Chelsea. I sacrificed a year of my career with them and didn't want to put up with it any more,' Lukaku told the Daily Star.
"I decided in March I wanted to go out on loan, and told my agent to find me a club. I am relieved to have found a solution. On the first day of pre-season I told the manager I wanted to leave.
"Roberto Di Matteo told me I ought to think about Chelsea as there weren't going to be many other strikers this season, but this is the time for me to think about myself.
"I got sick of watching the others from the bench. I just played 12 games and when I was playing well, they would take me off. I lost my hunger for the game over the past year. I won't beat about the bush my season at Chelsea went very badly.
"As regards getting minutes on the pitch, I wasted my time. Last season I was in the reserves alongside a young lad who'd barely turned 15 and I asked myself what I was doing there." -
Romelu Lukaku

From First team to reserve is quite drastic, although it was just Belgian club. I didn't expect him to play last season, so i was shocked not to see him on loan. But we didn't make the same mistakes this season by holding on to players like him and De Bruyne as possible backups. Now only Josh has to leave for the season.
EDIT: To be clear, i'm also

to see him hit out at chelsea like that
