He has to be the most insecure player I've ever seen. He should take a leaf out of Vardy's book and just go "chat shit get banged"

He's a precious soul isn't he.

Why not just say nowt, lose your flabber, and make United look like mugs for selling you.

This lad needs to just learn to do his talking on the pitch. All well and good posting pictures on the Internet or sharing stats with little context. Who does that impress? At the end of the day no one cares if you don't produce on the pitch.

If I showed my boss how great I was I scored well on some test, but consistently underperformed at doing real work then it wouldn't do me any good at all. Show it where it matters!

I’m not defending Lukaku, but muscles weight more than fat, and he has a lot of them. So it’s not really fair to compare him to an average man with a much bigger body fat percentage; I’m sure that he was much leaner at Everton though, I’d expect something closer to 90-95 kilos (quick googling tell me the same numbers).
Wrong.

He clearly isn’t fat though.

Daft to call him that. He’s just too big and heavy. He’s built like a NFL player.

It's actually not the weight, it's the fragile mentality that was the bigger problem. Then the fact he is so fat... that's obviously a problem too.

Fat in the head.

Under a tree.
Aside from his technical deficiencies, his behaviour over the last month has shown how mentally weak he is, which explains why he rarely performs in the big games

I’m in no position to criticise him, he’s got more muscle in his neck than I have my entire body and he’s also got 5 more packs than me but that picture doesn’t prove a great deal. He’s not been accused of being pure flab, he’s got too much muscle bulk which is as counter productive as fat in a sport where agility is so important. It’s not all muscle though, he’s definitely carrying a little extra fat weight too though, even in that picture you can see that in his face and waist.

To be fair, imagine if you had Lukaku's physique and people were calling you fat. I think I'd take a shirtless selfie to shut them up too.

God he's so pathetic, apart from obviously missing the point imagine that with all the cash and success you seem to have achieved, you still have to go to your social media, read all the shit about yourself and then be stupid enough to respond to it. Just how insecure you have to be.

I’m not sure how he thinks he’s defending himself against all the critics when he’s actually exposing how insecure and thin skinned he is instead. Nothing says dumb as feck as this.

Nice to see he’s already sticking it to his new club too.

How long till he leaks confidential player weight data? He’ll be top of the list of that too

He's built so much like a NFL player and not a footballer or a rugby player. He has so much muscle mass but never seems to go through a cut phase to get the extra fat mass off.

I remember some American journalist asking an NFL player who played in high school what they would have to do to play soccer competitively again and their immediate answer was "lose 20 lbs".

People calling him fat are obviously idiots. But that doesn't mean he's not overweight for a footballer. Footballers don't need that much muscle.

The hate on him from our fan base is way OTT though.

Has his head in the wrong place completely. It's no wonder he didn't succeed with us.
We need someone who responds with "ok, I'll show everyone"...then gets in the perfect shape for what's required, puts in hours working on his touch etc. and looks better on the pitch for it.
Not "ok, I'll show everyone"... "that actually I'm spot on and you're all wrong".

Yep.

I guess it's an important distinction in terms of his attitude. Actually being fat would suggest he's lazy and unprofessional, whereas being too bulked suggests that he's been stupid in the way he has trained.

Unfortunately for him and Inter it would probably be a lot easier to correct if he was just fat.

The Luke Shaw conundrum: is he fat? No, not by any normal standard. Could he be in better physical shape nonetheless? Obviously, yes. You need only look at the changing body shape of PL footballers over the last decade or so to know that science and experience doesn’t favour big, relatively cumbersome guys.

Luke Shaw is nowhere near as lean as Lukaku.

Lukaku is 104kg and probably about 10% body fat. Very impressive, if not ideal for football.

Rooney was called a fat feck for a decade and he didn't post selfies of his abs to shut people up. Instead he became United's all-time top scorer and won every single trophy possible for United.

Tubs above could do with some of that don't care mentality. Instead he's preening in a mirror and probably says haters unironically.

Hahahah Jesus feck


This dude is so mentally fragile. Things get to him so easily and instead of learning from it/bettering himself, he just doubles down and acts like a complete clown.

Never had & never will have a big time players attitude
