Yeah physique being a strong powerful black body, therefore some can only compare him with other strong black strikers.
Romelu Lukaku | United confirm deal subject to medical and personal terms

Maybe Conte could have handled the Costa thing a bit better in hindsight? Not many fans would be estatic with Remy on top..
No question in my mind. Spurs did their Nike kit launch with a grime soundtrack, Stormzy was all over the Pogba transfer - Lukaku fits the profile for how football is increasingly marketing itself. He's cooler.
It was this video that cemented my want for him. Always would have signed him but loved him being smart and using his strengths to get goals.
Besides I think, unlike dribbling, first touch is something you could work on and improve.
You can't get better. Age, goals record, settled in the area, experienced in the league. Hard to argue that isn't the full set. His fee is on par with Cole's back in 1995 if you think of the growth of the club/game financially in the last 20 years.
Why would Everton owe us 7.5m for Keane, isn't it Burnley who owe us?
Take it you mean Leicester? I never followed his career that closely, but I don't remember him playing for Ipswich
Touche.
Effectively we can forgive them £7.5m on the fee they paid Burnley on the basis Burnley wouldn't have to pass it on to us.
Lad should be aiming to be the top scorer in the league next season, no question.
Leicester, my bad.
Yeay, see.. we got a darn good EPL proven goals streak striker, for those who are too worried end of June 
relax~
relax~It's bollocks argument IMO. His trademark move is with his back to the goal. Having the defender on his shoulder and moving away from him when the ball is in his direction is actually what he does best and enjoys best.
This is almost as bad as the Benteke comparison. Nice attempt.
Seriously oppo fans who are just here to WUM and post absolute drivel should be banned from these threads. They contribute nothing.
I think people are being trolled by the wording. It says fee is an initial 75m and then it says that the deal includes 15m add ons.
Clearly this is 75m + 15m like Jim White has said. There's no debate on this right?
This transfer is bringing out the worst in a lot of resident opposition fans.
Liverpool won 1 trophy in 11 seasons. Pipe down.Welcome to Anfield Emile Heskey. Houllier has done well here.
Joking aside Rooney is going straight into my FF team this season. You know he'll have a point to prove and is always involved in goals when played on his own. And he should be cheap.
Hmmm....united have been at pains to say that rooney is a seperate deal. Everton seem to want it publicised its included.
Theres actually something pretty dodgy here depending on the 'official line'. There's no way ...regardless of the wage that rooney is worth 10m...isnt that what chelsea bid for him like 4 years ago?
Isn't there some tax/FFP (arf) issues with this sort of thing (inflating a price on something used to buy something).
Mate, its Jim White
he's desperate bless him.Yes, he must mean Leicester.
Well Gattuso was well sought after here wasn't he?@TheReligion is the Gattuso of football forums, great when he is playing for you and a pain when he is not.
I have noticed this. Usually this means they're worried but instead act like prats.
I made this point in an earlier post.
We need to buy another attacker who can contribute to our goal tally.
It's not a world record because the pound has crashed against the euro since the Pogba deal. And because the addons (as easy as they maybe to achieve) haven't been triggered yet. So no the fee could pass the Pogba fee in pounds in a few years but the pound is too weak against the euro for it to be considered a world record.
I must admit I never saw him as a bully. He's a big striker who scored 32 goals in 42 games last season including internationals. That will do for me.
People saying he's this that or the other. I don't care as long as he puts the ball in the back of the net. We have other players to be creative.
I can understand Chelsea fans feeling bitter but Liverpool fans ? Why ?
It reminds me of when we signed RVP and some opposition fans everywhere were calling him injury prone.
I agree with you.
I think this is mainly down to the gigantic commercial/image gap between United and Spurs, not really about the players. Should Kane sign for us, I'd say he would be a part of much more professional and marketable campaign.
To be honest I have no idea who is cooler, but I still think that if it was Kane who was signed for this obscene money he'd but at least as good of a marketing prospect, we would be talking about the most expensive British player in history and arguably the most exciting English talent in quite a few years. Kane was also quite a figure for FIFA17 and England is much larger market than Belgium... Seems very marketable to me and I can imagine his United shirts would be rather easy to sell
Sorry for derailing the thread, I know it's not really a Kane vs Lukaku discussion.
I agree.
About time we started to piss everybody off again and get back to being properly hated.
Mods should be mopping up rubbish like that
He did.
But what about our other attackers? If Ibra went missing, they went on a permanent vacation to the Bermuda Triangle!
What would have happened if Ibra hadn't gotten injured? Would Mourinho still be in for him? I very much doubt it. Still think it's a panic buy.
How is it a panic buy? Circumstances change. Our top scorer is injured and out for a long time, you go and buy a replacement (who scored more goals last season in an inferior team).
But he did get injured so we need a new striker....
Let this be a lesson to those that ever doubted the word of Craig Norwood, now sitting at god-tier level twitter source material.
Cos it makes it a lot more interesting having them here? Half the fun of football is the 'banter' with opp fans.
