Which people were these? I can only recall a handful of Jose devotees, most of whom got banned. Remember haram
Jose was our manager in 2014 when Lukaku raged quit and went to train with Anderlect (until he got his move) over us signing Costa.Which people were these? I can only recall a handful of Jose devotees, most of whom got banned. Remember haram
It always struck me as weird that Jose and Lukaku were (on the face if it) so devoted to each other. The latter didn’t seem to have the right character for Jose, being flaky and high maintenance. And the former did Lukaku no favours at all with allowing/encouraging him to bulk up so ridiculously and expecting him to play like Droga reincarnate.
Right right, mixed the two up.
Fred and Messi have 4 league goals. What a weird season this has been. You'd never predict Messi and Lukaku scoring as much as Fred in a league Season.

I was surprised anyone gave enough of a toss either way to actually boo - agreed.
The guy is a whopper. I suspect almost everyone who was part of Ole’s team will get booed once they move

Atletico seems like the best possibility, but they are looking hard at Nunez and even if they don't land him its unclear whether Simeone would be dumb enough to sign Lukaku when there are better, cheaper alternatives.
Maybe it goes back to the same old preach for every overpaid player, Newcastle.
It makes it even more comedy when G Nev was gushing over in the first few games when he'd scored a tap in or two.
Nailed it sir.
The strikers of Bruno
That's interesting!
Oh Ole go that one right. Though I did think at the time that getting rid of Fellaini was done mainly to appease the fans. Regardless of their quality, Fellaini was a top pro; Lukaku a bit of a dick
The funny thing is they wont be able to afford anything like that for the forseeable future.
Ignoring the price tag for a second (not his fault), none of their strikers or wide forwards have hit 10 goals in the league this season. Mason Mount is their highest scorer with 10 goals. Just to put things in perspective, their defenders have scored 21 goals in the PL, and the strikers/wide forwards have scored 25 goals.
There would be books written about it.
Very weird, he’s a bit of a knob, but I don’t think he’s particularly disrespected our club in any way.
He was an absolute cnut when he wanted to leave.
Yeah, because Micheal Owen, Jermain Defoe, and Theiry Henry were great with back to goal....
All dramatically different from lukaku.Yeah, because Micheal Owen, Jermain Defoe, and Theiry Henry were great with back to goal....
There a key difference.
Wouldn't you do that if they paid a record fee to get you?
It's not really something players generally say even if it's true.
You have to have an ego to be active on that level (mostly) but that fire was definitely stoked by clubs throwing stupid money around for him.
Load of crap. Players like martial and Cavani to some degree have done so much more for Utd than Lukaku could dream of. Worst starting striker I’ve ever seen at this club by a long way.
Pretty much, all because he had to fight for his place. That was when I knew he would never be a top striker. If he had 'it' about him he would have looked at Torres, Ba and a 32 year old Eto'o and been licking his lips, instead he went to Everton.
I remember him refusing to celebrate goals for us when he scored
Lukaku is just like Haaland in terms of playing style. Both give the illusion that they are great with their back to goal.
Yeah pretty much , its almost as if your idea of what they are is stronger than what they really are.
Well at the very least you got your own pogba now.
At least Anelka had the raw talent in the early days to be considered at that level. Lukaku has always looked like a lower league footballer blessed with an unplayable physique.
Lukaku won the world cup just this season.
This isn't true and it was never true. Lukaku from day 1 looked like PL player and he had lot more in his locker than just physique.
He looked like that because of his physical attributes. Technically he has always been about Championship level.
Nah he’s been a donkey since day one. That’s why so many Utd fans were gutted when we signed him from Everton. He broke through due to his freakish size and athleticism (have you seen those photos of him at youth level?). To be fair to him he’s always used those attributes to the best of his abilities and combined it with okay finishing which means he scores at an acceptable (but not spectacular) rate. But technically he’s one of the worst I’ve ever watched, control, passing, vision, heading are all in the lowest percentile in the league in my opinion which means hes never going to be world class. The fact he has a cult like following who can’t see past the stats, and he inflates his own ego to a huge degree means he’s an easy target to really dislike.
