Aren't they both 24?United have the younger and more prolific striker.

We all know what's happening if someone baselessly implies Lukaku lacks intelligence.Plus in that interview with Henry, Lukaku explained how he watches hours of footage of elite strikers so he can learn their little nuances of finding space etc.
Lukaku is seriously intelligent, doesn't he speak 6 languages as well?
Yes, but Rom is around 6 months younger.Aren't they both 24?
You're falling hook, line and sinker for the Chelsea PR offensive.I think United have ended up with our 2nd or 3rd choice attacker, and for a higher price, and I don't like it.
6 months lolYes, but Rom is around 6 months younger.
I haven't read a word of what Chelsea have said.You're falling hook, line and sinker for the Chelsea PR offensive.
Conte wanted Morata, others at Chelsea wanted Lukaku.Because Morata wasn't his first choice so he was pretty much forced in to buying him. We could have chosen either so ultimately its Jose who is judged on that choice.
Whatever makes you happy, buddy.We obviously would have done if Chelsea had got Lukaku instead. Just accept it Lukaku was both clubs first choice.
We wanted Morata in case we couldn't get Lukaku.Utd wanted Morata and signed Lukaku, Chelsea wanted Lukaku and signed Morata. Weird summer, but I'm pretty keen to see how they both turn out, and even though he's playing for Chelsea I'm happy to see Morata in the Premier League just to see how he answers the questions we were asking of him.
Yeah, I don't buy that.We wanted Morata in case we couldn't get Lukaku.
Where are you getting that info from? Wiki says he's scored 85 league goals in 209 league games.Morata is 25 in October and has 40 league goals in his career.
That's including his goals in Real Madrid's B Team.Where are you getting that info from? Wiki says he's scored 85 league goals in 209 league games.
You don't buy that clubs have backup options? Interesting.Yeah, I don't buy that.
Real Madrid B play in the league in Spain.That's including his goals in Real Madrid's B Team.
Oh no I do, we signed him.You don't buy that clubs have backup options? Interesting.
We can include Lukaku's non top flight league goals too if you like but it might get even more embarrassing...Real Madrid B play in the league in Spain.
You are including his 45 goals for Real's second team, @TheReligion does not. Most of those goals are from the 3rd Spanish division, some from the second.Where are you getting that info from? Wiki says he's scored 85 league goals in 209 league games.
Correct SirYou are including his 45 goals for Real's second team, @TheReligion does not. Most of those goals are from the 3rd Spanish division, some from the second.
If you're adding up league goals then add them all up.We can include Lukaku's non top flight league goals too if you like but it might get even more embarrassing...
As stated i wasn't including B team goals but the fact is half of Morata's total goal tally is generated by playing for Madrid's B side playing in the lower depths of Spanish football..If you're adding up league goals then add them all up.
Lukaku has scored a shitload more than Morata, that's not embarrassing, it's a fact. Lying about how many goals someone has scored to win an internet debate on the other hand...
Just be honest in your arguments. Lukukau scored more goals, you don't need to lie abut the number of league Morata has or has not scored.As stated i wasn't including B team goals but the fact is half of Morata's total goal tally is generated by playing for Madrid's B side playing in the lower depths of Spanish football..
70m.
Didn't Morata dye his hair red? He wanted to move here. United couldn't reach an agreement with Real on his valuation. Basically he's not worth anything near what Chelsea have paid.Happy we got Lukaku, seems Morata never really wanted to come as he never pushed for the transfer. At any rate it will be interesting to see who performs better.
I was including top flight goalsJust be honest in your arguments. Lukukau scored more goals, you don't need to lie abut the number of league Morata has or has not scored.
I suggest you look at overall goal figuresWhy are people convinced Lukaku is more prolific? he's only scored 20+ goals in the league once. Morata almost always scores everytime he's given the stage. He's a better goal to min ratio as well.
I said this even when we were linked to Morata, but I think the whole minutes to goal ratio thing is overstated in this instance. Substitutes tend to do very well in this area since they're playing against tired legs. Didn't Hernandez have an insane minute to goal ratio as well?Why are people convinced Lukaku is more prolific? he's only scored 20+ goals in the league once. Morata almost always scores everytime he's given the stage. He's a better goal to min ratio as well.
Pretty obvious Laukaku was first choice for both clubs. No biggie, it's hardly a contest. Lukaku stated that he spoke to Mourinho months ago and made up his mind after the EL win. Obviously Conte was oblivious to this and felt that Chelsea would get Lukaku in. Morata was quite clearly second choice for both clubs. Good player, mind. Don't let some on here wind you up with the Spanish Welbeck larkYour own manager said you couldn't come to an agreement over Morata.
Probably because, y'know, he is.Why are people convinced Lukaku is more prolific? he's only scored 20+ goals in the league once. Morata almost always scores everytime he's given the stage. He's a better goal to min ratio as well.

Yeah thought it was something like that. It's no doubt impressive don't get me wrong, but these stats do have the tendency to skew things a bit.No. 5 in the all time PL list behind:

Mourinho knows Lukaku too as he coached him at Chelsea.I think Morata would have been better for United given Mourinho knows him well but both of them are dependent on their teams so it's not a bad move for Morata to go to Chelsea where he could also be a massive player for them.
Morata scored 14 in 18 starts last season though that was usually against opposition that Madrid were far better than.I said this even when we were linked to Morata, but I think the whole minutes to goal ratio thing is overstated in this instance.

Like Le Fondre who seems to have scored 12 goals coming regularly off the bench in one season.Yeah thought it was something like that. It's no doubt impressive don't get me wrong, but these stats do have the tendency to skew things a bit.
The risk of going into august without a striker and being forced to pay a lot for Morata wasnt one we wanted to take. Madrid clearly didnt want to sell us Morata before seeing as we are paying more for Lukaku.I think United have ended up with our 2nd or 3rd choice attacker, and for a higher price, and I don't like it.
