Ehmm. Are you wumming here? The guy has a good relationship with Mou and is also Pogba's mate. This has nothing to do with Raiola. He clearly wants to play for us.
I'm quite clearly not wumming, every indication I've seen all summer and particularly tonight is that he wants to play for Chelsea over us but the money being offered to Raiola might sway it our way.

At least it won't be heartbreaking if we end up not getting him.
It'll make us look an absolute bunch of chumps. But more damagingly mean we'll have to go crawling back to Real for Morata and probably end up paying an even sillier price than before.
And not before the tour.

It'll be not quite a disaster, but a small step down. The sort of thing someone would get sacked over

I doubt he and Pogba would be posting pictures of them training together if he wasn't planning on coming here.

Our Chelsea fans (duffer, antihenry, Orc) etc are pretty loyal to the forum. Orc even pretended to be a United fan for 2 years. They won't vanish.
I have always sensed many rival fans act as united fans on the forum, reguardless of how open minded the forum is.

Why is the wage offer not being mentioned? Surely that is more important to him than what that fat feck Raiola gets.

To be honest, I'm not bothere whatever happens.

If Lukaku goes to United he'll be very good and score a bunch of goals. We'll go out and get Morata or Belotti who will also be very good and score a bunch of goals.

If Lukaku comes to Chelsea he'll be very good and score a bunch of goals. United will then get Morata or Belotti who will score a bunch of goals.

No real loser here. Both teams will signa super expensive forward.

Chelsea got rid of him.

Chelsea couldn't even make a bid until United decided to.

Why would he pick them when they have completely mugged him off?

Mino must be fuming that Chelsea are making him out to be a money grabbing cnut.

Whether thats right or wrong, well that's for another thread.

Either way one of us or Chelsea would come out looking foolish big time. I think representative from our side seem pretty confident that lukaku will join us (pogba sharing his insta , mata talking about lukaku and Phil neville congratulating lukaku on joining us). I feel this is a desperate attempt by Chelsea and if it doesn't materialize they are in for a long remaining summer transfer window.

I think he will sign for us but won't be surprised if we come out empty-handed.

Mourinho got rid of him.

I'm not sure why Chelsea's delay matters that much. They have other positions which are a higher priority to strengthen before their number 9.

You guys do know the agent fee does not decide where Rom goes? Right? Just means if he chooses Chelsea, Raiola is getting paid less. It is not a deal breaker
Exactly.

In fact you could read that a different way ie Raiola can say to Woody "it wasn't down to me, sorry". All along knowing what he was doing.

It was fishy all day, someone is stalling for some reason somewhere and it isn't because we want to do some fecking Twitter video.

Can still see him signing for us. He'll say how he's so excited to play for us, always wanted to join once he heard of our interest. Fans will est it up and oppo fans will say he's lying.

I'm not so sure the bromance between Pogba and Lukaku is good overall for team. When two guys are that close with one another and one has a falling out with another player ones gonna always back the other and isolate the third.

I love the "OMFG WE'RE IDIOTS, UNITED FECKED THIS UP" like it's the end of the world or as if every man united supporter is doomed to have a "idiot" tattoed on their foreheads from now on.

Because it shows the player who is committed to signing them.

Chelsea have been skimping on the fee and faffing around. No way to show a player that you value them and want them at the club.

He'll pick United.

The only reason why i think we are getting him still is because if chelsea have matched our bid, they could easily matchh the agent fees too. Why haggle over 10-15 million(just a guess) when you match any transfer fees we are paying. They are basically saying to lukaku,if you want to come to us you better feck raiola or maybe they are trying to blame the agent and the rooney situation for us getting him over them. It is basically Hazard situation but in reverse.

Raiola can simply ask this "if you really want Lukaku why not pay the agent fees as well"?
Would Lukaku go against his advisor for a move to chelsea. The thing also is Chelsea's fee has not even been accepted due to the rooney factor and how john stones was publicaly hunted by chelsea. I think we should get him but it is 55-45 to us.

All these are based on reports. The fact that we were told we have stopped pursuing Morata and the poor guy is heartbroken yada yada was all based on the fact that the deal with Lukaku was agreed. If it isn't, I doubt how much of that is true either. Anyway, we will find out. Everything is bloody dramatic these days.

Nah whoever gets Lukaku is getting a PL proven player who won't need any bedding in time. I'll be fecking gutted if you's get him, for me, he's an upgrade on Costa and will immensely improve you's.

I desperately want this one to go through for us.
