We all have been trying to answer a lot of questions about Romelu Lukaku over the past nine months. How did it go wrong? Why could it not work out? Why did he do that interview?
One question that is more relevant over the dissection of the Lukaku saga is what happens next? How do Chelsea approach their attack after effectively blowing almost £100m? The instinct is probably to go out and spend again, trying to rectify the error with someone better. But Chelsea have made achieving that objective look like rocket science over recent years.
Some may prefer to go a window without signing a new centre-forward, instead placing confidence in Kai Havertz, who they invested heavily in two years ago.
