Look at his goal contributions, i don't think that he's as bad as you say.

Some players like mount really lucky get endless opportunities to play eventhough they were just raw talent but with more matches played, they were able to show their quality
This thinking is why we're buying lukaku back for 128m when we sold him for 28m years back lol
Errr
I did not say Tammy was bad. (?)
Giroud had less goals with more games on the pitch if u compared.
But he is always being appreciated by us.
But to blame the club as "impatient" is simply unfair. How did he end up as england NT during the euro qualifiers then? Esp under lampard, lots of academy elite players being given the chance to play including tammy, mount, james. And we are talking full seasons. Not bit part players.
There are no exact formula to brush rough diamond. Some might shine with more games with parent clubs..some just need game times with loan stints. While for some players, avoiding injuries are the only bless that they wish for.
Lukaku had less chance with us and was sold for 30m. He never had the same opportunity to play full seasons + europe games with us.
0 goals at that age. And he did not want to play as sub
Which is not wrong for him
According to transfermarket.com, his total mins with chelsea is around 436mins = almost full 5 -90mins games. And that's just an easy 100% ROI in terms of transfer value (bought somewhere 15m-18m from Anderlecht, sold in region 30-35m to Everton)
Was a beast during loan stints but do not forget Lukaku was never a fans favourite at United either.
These Salah, Kdb, lukaku is simply not on the same book with these batch of james mount tammy.
Back then there were absolutely no chance for them to play. I remember KDB hardly play and had one fa cup / carling cup game which he played very bad and that was the final straw.
The transfer banned + lampard trust on youth players had given ample chance to play for more youth players.
As said, i do not have problem if Tammy wants to stay. He must fight as usual.
**im pretty sure Mount was dropped for first few games when TT came. He end up as first 11 and assist the goal for UCL final.
I understand lukaku for 120m is bit absurd esp he was part of us but these sentimental thingy we will never know whether gonna work for us or not in the future
Fun fact incase someone forget. We did tried to sign Lukaku before.
That was Morata's season.
Guess who we chose
