Lukaku - transfer speculation | Gone

[R'hllor]

Hope Lukaku pulls "Koscielny" on reveal video. United->Inter shirt, actually, no, he should do Anderlecht -> Inter, that would be even more epic.

I’d give him props for that level of trolling if he did that.

Spoiler: Gaynor

I’d like to channel my inner Gloria Gaynor for you, Rom...

At first I was afraid, I was petrified,

At the thought of you playing football in my side,

Then you cost 75 and I thought I must be wrong,

But now we’ve got Chong,

And I was right all along


And so you tweet,

Stats on pace,

Where’s the one on first touch? Your’s end up in outer space

We should have let you sign for Chelsea, not made you number 9

From Van Persie down to you, just sums up our decline


Go on now go,

Walk out the door,

Not sure you’ll fit through,

Might have to knock down the wall,

Aren’t you the one being a bell with your good bye?

Another helping of apple crumble?!

After seconds of steak pie?!


Oh, ho ho, we will survive

We’ve lost better players, like Djemba Djemba in 05

We can now play one touch, our attackers will all thrive

We will survive, hey hey


You’re meant to have this strength but then you hit the ground,

And hold your thumb up to your teammates as you turnaround,

I’ve spent so many games feeling sorry for the team,

It is bleak,

To witness your technique,

We don’t need, somebody new,

We’ve got Mason Greenwood and his youthful crew,

That’s why we dropped you to bench, in case that you weren’t sure,

Because you’re not half as good, as some kids from Wythenshawe,


Go on now go,

Walk out the door,

Not sure you’ll fit through,

Might have to knock down the wall,

You spat out your dummy, put on a face that was so glum,

But we’re all here to tell you,

Where you can stick that thumb


Oh, ho ho, we will survive

We’ve lost better players, like Djemba Djemba in 05

We can now play one touch, our attackers will all thrive

We will survive, hey hey

Very nice

 

[Can7onA]

Useless sack of shit will mess it up at the vital moment.

His form dropped as soon as we stopped singing about his 24 inch penis. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[humdinger]

I’ll be glad to see the back of him. He was mediocre for us and has been incredibly unprofessional this summer. And that is a very decent fee by our standards.

 

[Hellboy]

How much did he cost again ? £75m + Rooney (15m) right ?

 

[Hanky panky]

We bought 25 goal scorer and sell 12 goal scorer. This really is decent fee.

[caid]

I wasn't keen on him but thought he improved a bit over his first season. Happy to be rid of him now though obviously. His goals will be hard to replace but hes such a poor player in every other regard its hard to be too bothered about it.

 

[Sassy Colin]

So we spent all summer arguing, and ended up accepting the same money?

 

[Footballmad2006]

Was never a big fan of lukaku. His ball control was extremely poor, but I do believe that when he was on the field he did at least try most of the time. Which is more than I can say for Martial. If people are talking about Sanchez and Lukaku being the worst signings ever, surely Martial has to be included in that list also.

 

[van der star]

Great, I get to see him being useless in person now. Was planning on watching more of Inter this season but now I think I'll stick to the CL games.

 

[Red Devil's Advocate]

Mourinho really made some very very bad signings for us and wasted a lot of money in the process.

Lukaku has to be right up there along with Sanchez.

Glad this mistake is being corrected

Not sure if you are being serious. He is the one who took us to 2nd. He is a flat track bully but a damn good one and with him firing we ensured that we slayed the bottom half.

 

[Cnaiür urs Skiötha]

Glad to see that we finally cashed in on him. He really is not a good footballer.

However, fans are an ungrateful pack. If nothing else I will always remember his 2 goals in Paris.

Here comes another one.

Are you one of those who used to celebrate Herrera's one tidy performance in every 5 games?

 

[Red Devil's Advocate]

For a non-footballer, he has been doing a fantastic job.
To be fair to the lad, it was just that he was at the club at the wrong time when club went from one extreme (Joseball) to another (OleBall). He will set Serie-A on fire with his performances.

 

[el3mel]

How much did he cost again ? £75m + Rooney (15m) right ?

The 15m weren't Rooney related. They were adds on based on goals scored iirc. I think we didn't pay them though.

 

[yamo123x]

Has the fat useless Judas gone yet? Can he sneak Darmian in his rucksack?

Sneak him under his love handles.

 

[ThierryHenry14]

If I am a Man Utd fan I will be really worry having only Martial & Rashford as striker. I assume Martial will play on the left and Rashford as striker. There seems no depth for the front 3. Only 2 days left before window close.

You’re either a WUM or Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku once went nearly a thousand minutes (997) without scoring at old Trafford over something like three quarters of a year.
If that fantastic then I'm at least average.

 

[damageinc.]

Inter with Lukaku is bringing the club back to the elite of European football after 8 years of sufference and economic crisis.
Despite all the hate by Manchester United fans the numbers are in his favour becouse he is (was) the current 3rd most prolific top scorer of Premier League at age of only 26 (only behind to Agüero and Kane) and to score so many goals in the most competitive league in the world you can’t be a “waste” or a “donkey” as someone here have called him. And the fact that one of the best coach in the world like Conte wanted him so badly (that he’s surely more competent than any poster in any football forum on internet) is a real insurance for us.
So welcome Big Rom!

This is true but whenever lukuku would play it was clear he wasn’t the type of player we were going to play too. Ie we never cross. Long balls are non existent. Basically we don’t give him the type of service he needs. I’m worried about goals next season but I don’t think Lukaku was or is the answer

Don't know about that... He's more competent than you and I, but there are posters who know more about football than Conte. For sure.

I hope you enjoy the utterly brilliant Lukaku next season. And be sure to pop in here to say "hi" when he goes missing in all the big games. You know, as he has done his whole career. Don't need to be a genius to see that.

The guy said nobody in any football forum on the internet is more competent than Conte. If you think that's a reasonable comment then well done! You win a prize.

I'm pretty neutral on Rom i think. Watched him all last season as i don't miss any United games. He's a good in the box scorer. He knows how to turn and shoot to score, fairly clinical. But the better teams will not give him time to control the ball and shoot and as such he's usually not very effective against the better teams. That said, for Inter, he will be scoring against your little dog teams like SPAL, Parma, Torino (i guess, as i dont follow the league). I think he will make Inter a better team, but he just is not what we need at United to be an elite team. He's not a bad passer either. But he's not an aguero/suarez type which i think we are after who can run past defenders, open up space for himself, and then score.

The results will say as always, anyway I expect people dissing the guy even if he will come back at scoring goals like he did in the past (except last season)
About competence on football forums maybe you can find some great examples of competent people that understand football (or even studied the history of some of it, I find it even here) but you will never find the people that have experienced on the pitch and living on his own skin the life of a successful footballer and coach as Conte.

Stats always represent the past. He always made more than 20+ goals per season except last season. So it’s still relevant as stat

That must be uncomfortable. Reminds me of Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs.

Anybody watching the transfer show? Ex Leeds and City Football genius Danny mills is absolutely hammering United over Lukaku. Absolute asshat.

Probably should but I don't know who that is.

An average ex player using United's name to make a name for himself as a “pundit”

He’s a complete prick
