Yeah but that wasn't your point. Your point was "You can say our formation or style of play doesn't suit him but a good manager can work with what he has and find a suitable system that could utilize him."
Where did I say he was deadwood? He wasn't first choice player and he wanted to leave and left.
I don't know what fantasy Ole has for this team but Lukaku showed he could contribute even under Ole.
Ok but the comparison to players like Hart and Benteke doesn’t work. A top manager for a team playing in the CL is never spending big amounts on Hart, Benteke or Moreno.
And Lukaku also showed he won't be staying when he is guaranteed starter. He talked about Serie A move at the start of last season, his agent talked about it during the season and Lukaku again talked about it after the season. Funny how he always gets the pass for all the nonsense he spoke.
Why doesn't it work? Players were not suited to how manager wanted to play and they were moved on. Additional bonus is, Lukaku acted like a twat in interviews and wanted out.
You want to turn this into another conversation. If Ole makes Lukaku feel wanted he stays. Ole was happy for Lukaku to move and there’s deluded fans that have decided the striker was deadwood.
fecking hell, at least know the timelines. Lukaku said in interview when Jose was the manager and CL draw was made.
When you make up stuff like me claiming he is Messi Lite I know it’s time to stop the conversation.
No time is good time when you don't even know/remember half of the things and keep ignoring when pointed out.
I didn't expect this kind of extreme stuff on RedCafe.
Lukaku became a scapegoat and the manager did nothing to protect him. What annoys me with the Lukaku situation is people acting Martial/Rashford are Del Piero with their playmaking and the team plays great football with them and Lukaku ruined every attack. Give any manager a choice between those 3 and almost every manager will choose the proven goalscorer. Ole is a poor manager. But it doesnt matter if Lukaku scores 50 goals, people will say its a poor league and ptetend his last season was his normal standard.
What should manager do to protect him? Good that you have listened to Lukaku's interview and repeating the same thing. When player himself wanted out, him and his agent kept saying that in media, what can club or manager do?
But it’s United’s fitness team’s fault because they monitor what a player does 24/7 and spoon feed them so that’s what we’re discussing now and people are obviously annoyed at Woodward.
He is a world class bullshitter.
What do they mean then ?
- Berbatov: Games played 229, Goals scored: 94
I've said this for over year, our club, from top to be bottom is under performing.
I think you are being sarcastic. If so, here's my reply: it is the responsibility of not only the employee, but also the employer to ensure that the employee is fit for duty. As this is sport, one of the key objectives for the player is to remain fit, healthy and of a certain body weight. The employer must guide/advise that player how to achieve those objectives.
Drogba is the kind of forward who could be awarded Man of The Match despite not having scored
It is nice to see that you lap it up.
Everyone knew he was overweight. They seemingly couldn't figure out why though and assumed it was down to motivation. I still partly subscribe to this view to be honest. Lukaku strikes me as someone who loves to make excuses for himself.
It’s just spin from Inter and Lukuku. Lukuku is trying to absolve himself of any blame. It’s completely down to a lack of motivation, the lard arse couldn’t be bothered, that was clear as day. However, he can’t take the criticism, so trying to put this spin on it - I don’t believe a word of it.
Right
It all depends on his inter tenure. If he can show the talk and walk the talk then it wont look good on us no matter how we try to spin it.
I absolutely agree with this, he is a living tree.
At least Deadwood lasted for 3 seasons.
Ole Swearengen
What a big surprise
Trying to play a one-two with Lukaku is like trying to play a one-two with the edge of a brick wall, so I'm not surprised none came off.
