Actually Nostradamus
I practically molested a garlic & cheese chip earlier so I'm no position to talk.
He is a cnut though.

Most likely, Mourinho loved him.I bet he said the same when he came to us.
Does not make some fat to be unable to run for 20 minutes, that's possibly down to personal bias or physical conditioning. Lukaku certainly isn't fat.You don't remember how one game last season, i can't remember which one, he played hard for the first 20 mins and then was almost keeled over afterwards, rendering him completely useless for the rest of the match?
Your kidding right? Fishing?No, you're still evidently missing the point. You clearly do not understand the nutritional needs of an athlete like Lukaku and how common it is for professionals like him to "pig out" as you put it. You're continuing to also exaggerate massively and acting as if he came back looking obese when the reality was he'd bulked up with a couple of KGs more muscle than was probably wise.
if it was a couple of years ago I genuinely bet that a newspaper would have managed to fashion an article out of it.
Yep. His figure was hardly at the point that you'd expect it to have a noticeable influence on his performances.
Not fat as in some bloke playing Saturday morning football, professional footballer playing for serious clubs?Does not make some fat to be unable to run for 20 minutes, that's possibly down to personal bias or physical conditioning. Lukaku certainly isn't fat.
Blame whoever you like mate. It's all gravy, he's not a United player anymore and is doing well at his new club. Best of luck to him and hope to see the thread updated on a regular basis when he scores over in Italy. Not with random people calling him fat and whining on about how he was when he played for United. He's a good bloke and it was better that he left United.Not fat as in some bloke playing Saturday morning football, professional footballer playing for serious clubs?
He was disgracefully out of shape and I blame united for that for allowing it.
This isn’t an exaggeration he was puffing for air so many times I thought united should have had a defibrillator at the ready for him.
Like I say why would inter or Lukaku be bragging about weight loss already.Blame whoever you like mate. It's all gravy, he's not a United player anymore and is doing well at his new club. Best of luck to him and hope to see the thread updated on a regular basis when he scores over in Italy. Not with random people calling him fat and whining on about how he was when he played for United. He's a good bloke and it was better that he left United.
Who said he was fat? You're the one who took weight excess and turned that into him being accused of being butterbean. That's not true at all.Does not make some fat to be unable to run for 20 minutes, that's possibly down to personal bias or physical conditioning. Lukaku certainly isn't fat.

You don't want to go down this road. It just so happens it's something I'm pretty well versed on. And two, unless you're also agreeing on the notion that plant based diet, with fat and protein from whole foods is the ideal nutrition for athletes, we're going to but heads. And your skull will be crushed, your existing appreciation for what an athlete 'should eat' disintegrated and if you're a fella open minded to robust science and changing his mind, maybe reborn like the Phoenix.No, you're still evidently missing the point.

Thanks for the references. Now I'm going to McDonald's for a Big Mac. Enjoy your greens.You don't want to go down this road. It just so happens it's something I'm pretty well versed on.

Bah. Feck it. Here's a few places for you to start. Once you've read and understood these appetizers we can look at Lukaku's eating and consider whether he is off the mark:

This is a spectacularly crap post.Have you ever seen akinfenwa play, aka the beast and there is a reasom he plays at the level he plays.
His playing weight 102kg - less than Lukaku
Right back at you palThis is a spectacularly crap post.
Judging by that video alone but he has fantastic heading technique.Have you ever seen akinfenwa play, aka the beast and there is a reasom he plays at the level he plays.

Haha indeed!Judging by that video alone but he has fantastic heading technique.
If you can read through this thread and not see any posters stating he's fat, then you need to look closer. As for the Butterbean comment, don't you do sarcasm?Who said he was fat? You're the one who took weight excess and turned that into him being accused of being butterbean. That's not true at all.
Like i said, he would exert himself for the first 20 mins, then be visibly gassed & be completely ineffective and useless for the rest of the match. That doesn't mean he was 'fat', but he most certainly was unfit.
Our 1-1 home draw with Chelsea on April 28th last season was the one i was trying to remember.
This was Neville after the match.

Were you even watching us last season?
You have seen Mujima’s post earlier thoughIf you can read through this thread and not see any posters stating he's fat, then you need to look closer. As for the Butterbean comment, don't you do sarcasm?
I have zero issues with anyone saying he wasn't physically conditioned well enough, as there were signs of that. You gotta try harder if you want an argument, as all I'm saying is he isn't fat.
'Fat' indicates an excess of body fat, or obesity. I mean, it's right there in the fecking word. It's not a word that would have described Lukaku at any point in his career.You have seen Mujima’s post earlier though
That is fat for a footballer Shirley?
Can we go with overweight, clearly out of shape and call it a night'Fat' indicates an excess of body fat, or obesity. I mean, it's right there in the fecking word. It's not a word that would have described Lukaku at any point in his career.
I thought this was a serious discussion? Only people calling him fat are taking the piss. Also, sarcasm through the internet is sketchy chief.If you can read through this thread and not see any posters stating he's fat, then you need to look closer.

My opinion as I've stated many times, is he isn't fat.I thought this was a serious discussion? Only people calling him fat are taking the piss. Also, sarcasm through the internet is sketchy chief.
Lukaku was a bulky feck who looked like he was playing the wrong sport last season.
If you agree with that, then all's good.
I agree.My opinion as I've stated many times, is he isn't fat.
Plus he's moved on, as do a lot of our fans, as going over issues from last season, that have been removed isn't very constructive. Ole has dealt with with problems he had directly with the players.
He's had a go at some one calling him unprofessional, weeks after doing an interview slagging off United, while he was still a United player."Coming here was the right move, in a good dressing room, where the manager wants winners who can really help the team."
We definitely are mentally soft, that is true.
And full of shit.He looks a bit insecure.
That too.And full of shit.
And full of chips.
Amadeus resents thatTitles: Mr

Fair point, was just who reminded me of in that 2018 pictureAkinfenwa is 5'9, maybe 5'10. Lukaku is in the 6'2-6'3 range.
Comparing the weight of two people who are pretty far apart in terms of height isn't really fair.
Don't think Lukaku ever thought he was bigger than the club. That's just him being butthurt because players are calling him out for talking about things he has no clue about. Giving his 2 cents about everything manager related when he failed spectacular at that job.Tweet
