Lukaku - transfer speculation | Gone

I don't know know why people are surprised he's so petty. Did you not remember what he was like before leaving Everton? It's always been his personality. People don't change just because they sign for Man Utd.

I am really surprised though that Juve wants him. Just can't see Sarri able to deal with his lack of technique. It really puzzles me.

Lukaku is quick. He takes a while to get there but his top speed is good. I wouldn't look too far into these stats as it shows Daniel James as being slower. That's just not true. Also, Luke Shaw is quicker than Matic and Rojo.

Lukaku, apart from being a good finisher, hold up play and being strong has nothing much else in his game. Shite first touch, not a great passer and crossing is just ok.

Seeing him up top with Ronaldo will be hilarious to watch imo.

Wow has also gone on Instagram talking about getting love from your own team. Full meltdown from him

Yeah he's gone rogue, lawd help him if the deal fall's through now.

Twat.

Amazing how he’s the one been mouthing off for ages with his mating calls to Conte and now he’s acting like the victim.

I honestly cannot wait for him to feck off. He was never good enough for us and never will be.

Yeah he needs to go. Good deal
For United if they get back anything like what they paid for him. Reminds me very much of Heskey. I’m not sure who was better though. Both could score but neither had any ball control and both fall over easily for solid units.

His all round game is horrific and all he offers you is goals.

And even then, his finishing is shite and his regularly goes 7 or 8 games without a goal.

I'll be delighted to see the back of him.

During the first weeks his PR skills fooled me but the more he talked the more respect I lost. Lukaku is a smart guy, he knows what he is supposed to stay in order to be popular, the issue being that in a big club you need to link words to actions and he failed to do that. From the outside he seems to be highly manipulative.

Remember a couple of interviews with Lukaku talking about how poor his family was and desire to be one of the best in the world. Admired his motivation and desire, but the talk was all about personal achievements, not with a team. Has always been a player out for himself.

I never wanted us to sign him, was horrified at the price we paid for him as well. Felt it was yet another show of Mourinho trying to turn us into Chelsea, that he wasnt a United player, wasnt good enough and was a huge step downwards on Ibrahimovich and the main worry was Lukaku on form looked unplayable, Lukaku not on form is awful.

On reflection, watching him more closely playing for us, I was surprised just how poor he actually is for an elite player based on that price. Genuinely surprised soe have backed him and rated him as I have been as frustated and angry watching him in our shirt as I was Fellaini. Has hus good points but so many basic parts of his game are just so poor, he really isnt good enough to be deserving to wear our shirt at all, one of the worst strikers to ever wear our shirt in my lifetime.

The fact we may actually make a profit on him and Juventus want him is unbelievable and whether or not it happens, people saying dont want Dybala for ability or fitting into our side reasons..... Swapping Lukaku for Dybala, it really doesnt get much better than that football wise

I’ve still not really forgiven him for his performance at home against City in 17/18, perhaps the worst individual showing I’ve seen at OT.

This. I too still can't get over it. That was unbelievably bad and made me realize that he would never be good enough for us.

Finally more people have realised what a twat Lukaku is.

a comment said on IG that this is perfect for chasing down after his first touch.

As far as I'm concerned, he can feck off now. Thanks for your services but he has been a bit of an attention seeking baby deluded by his own ability

I wouldnt say his hold up play is that good tbh.

He gained weight and bulked up for his own downfall at this club.

Never was impressed with his football even back when he was scoring a lot for West Brom and Everton, I didn't want us to buy him but gave him a chance hoping he would somehow improve. His top mentality comments during Jose time clearly came off as fake to me, instead looking self-absorbed and with a holier than thou attitude. Can't wait until he's off.

Where is he acting like one? I don't know why he thinks other say he is slow in top speed.

Ask him to share stats on first touch, headers missed etc and then we see the fun

Because his first touch let's him down, yes. But when the ball is on the floor with his back to goal, he's good in this position.

Little wonder Pogba fell out with him. I wonder what happened? Something was really wrong with them last year on the pitch when they were genuinely mates before Lukaku joined

It was definitely something to do with Mourinho.

Cant see anything on Instagram. Then again I am not a very technical person. Cam someone copy it here?

I heard from a source at the club that Lukaku stole Pogba's french fries during a sit down lunch

His lack of general quality was his downfall, weight only added to that.

I don't think he did anything too bad.

What happened to manning up? Where’s all that mental toughness he boasted about?

What a child Can’t wait to be rid of him. He’s always been a charlatan, saying exactly what he needs to say to get in the manager’s good books all while his on field performances have no place at this level.

This is exactly one of the reasons united have gone to shit, signing players with attitudes like this without doing research, too many mercaneries and spoilt children.

The signings of Wan Bissaka, Maguire and James is a huge step in the right direction with regards to good honest professionalism with the ego and selfishness

Ole gets it, wel see a huge difference in attitude this season, im really intrigued to see how Pogba and Martial adapt to the new guys and the youth coming through in regards to their attitudes.

Sanchez, Rojo and Matic to go for me and a huge test of character for Pogba and Martial now to see if they can finally grow up and mature. Then we l have a squad with no bad eggs or questionable attitudes

This could all change again over the weekend with Inter coming back into the fold.

He's not leaving because of his attitude. His attitude is because Solskjaer has been ruthless and made it clear that he is leaving.

Soooo obviously if Juve buy him and we come out even neutral that's a big win.

But someone needs to explain how he is a better foil for Ronnie than Mandzukic. He seems like the perfect player for Ronaldo to playoff : big, great technique, unselfish...I just don't get it.

But is Juve, so Mandzukic and Dybala will come, score 3 goals between them and Lukaku will win the cl...

He posted a bar graph!!!!

What a cnut.

He’s published data that is likely under NDA, he knows he’s fecked that up, hence he deleted the tweet. All because he’s all of a sudden got a chip on his shoulder about people calling him slow.

He’s also insinuated on Instagram that United haven’t shown him any love, despite the fact he’s been crowing to Conte for months on end, and it seems we have tried to help him get a move.

He should be spitting his dummy out at Inter for not paying up, not us.

So yeah, he’s a hypocritical cnut.

You're talking to one of Lukaku's fanboys. Just check his posts in the Dybala thread.

I will agree with this, one thing about our three signings so far is that all three seem to have phenomenal attitudes and a high level of professionalism. Well, Lukkaku did seem to have that too at one point so hopefully these three continue to hold the same values. Very SAF type signings, these three.

Wasn't it data for 50m sprints? I mean who really cares that much.

I'm not bothered if he leaves, but I actually think he always showed some spirit here (PSG playing CB for the last 10 mins).

His second touch is always taken for him by the opposition.
