I would build my FPL team around him if he went to city.
Lukaku: Aguero successor

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I think Pep would be more interested in Lautaro than Lukaku but who knows. How much would Inter want for Lukaku?
I seriously doubt they will pay 100 mil for him considering City will win the title without playing actual striker this season.

Nope, he's not even close, my point was the "couldn't finish in Scarlett Johannson" nonsense which is hugely untrue, he's nowhere near those players but he's a decent striker with an excellent strike rate.

You should tell Pep and Tite, I'm sure they'd be happy to learn from you.
I didn't rank him anywhere near them you numpty, maybe try reading instead of posting laughing emoji's while talking nonsense. I said he has a similar/better scoring rate which makes Two Sheds original post nonsense.
You're right, this isn't his first season, but he's got 8 in 22 THIS season,
Are you seriously trying to rank Jesus amongst the top premiership strikers? If so you are seriously deluded ( he has a lower goals per game ratio than Lukaku in the league for example).
Have you ever questioned why he's never been first choice even when Aguero is injured?
Come back when Jesus has scored 100 premiership goals....you'll be waiting a while!
You do realise he's got 49 already and he's 24. Whats it gonna take him at his current scoring rate another 7k minutes... Won't be that long.
You said he has a goal every 136 mins or something which is quite patently wrong, not just this season, or just across his entire time at City, but in fact also across his entire career. He scores at significantly less than 1 in 2 in the best team in the league and you're trying to tell me he has a better goal record than Shearer. Just not even remotely true.
Its not wrong. Its 100% right. 81 goals in 11k minutes at City. Do the math.

If you can't back up your nonsense don't accuse other people of lying.
Shearer has 260 goals in 38195 minutes (PL numbers only) 147 minutes per PL goal. (I don't have an all comps one for Shearer to compare).
Jesus has 49 goals in 6934 minutes... 141 minutes per PL goal.
Found Shearer in all comps. 50k minutes, 321 goals. 1 goal every 155 minutes.

We're counting charity shields and whatnot are we? Ok
Tell you what, come back to me when he hits 30 goals in the league will you? Or even 20. Then you can compare him to Alan Shearer.

Jesus 1 goal every 141 minutes,
Shearer 1 goal every 147 minutes.
Kun 1 goal every 108 minutes
I just put Kun in there to show that Shearers time per goal is not actually that impressive in the grand scheme of things.
No one is saying Jesus is the better player, but he has the better goals per minute record both in the PL and in all comps. You are making shit up to say anything else.
Check Shearer's teams' points per game and compare them to your lot. Plus you're comparing 24 year old Jesus to 36 year old Shearer on top of that.
The interesting thing about Jesus' goals per minute stat in the PL is it seems to get worse the older he gets.
Aguero is class, comparable to Shearer but even he has the benefit of playing for much stronger teams and now that he's shite he doesn't play, where Newcastle had to wheel Shearer out regardless of how old or injured he was. Good for his overall goal tally of course but bad for his goals per minute.
So at this rate we'll be waiting another FOUR years before he hits 100 goals....yeah not that long eh!!?!
You were adding him on top of a list of top strikers in the premiership so yeah I'd say you were comparing him to them!

No doubt he has done great at Inter, but if he steps back into the EPL we will surely again see the same decent but not world class striker that we had at OT.
Alexis, Young and Darmian have been decent for Inter. Says a lot imo.
We used him in a totally wrong way under Jose. By the time Ole came in he wanted out. If we had fed him in the box he would have scored plenty and we wouldn’t have had to sign all these stopgaps. We got lucky Cavani is still so good and nobody else gambled on him before we finally moved. Typical enough management at United under the glazers. One step forward and 2 back…

But Lukaku has banged in goals in the EPL.
Hasn't scored a goal in over 500min of play.
Imagine how many wayward passes he’s enthusiastically clapped in that time.
Mate stop please
They call Smalling 'Smaldini' over there. Young, Darmian and Sanchez stand out in Italy.
One of the best recent bits of business United have done selling Lukaku to Inter. Makes no difference to the strength of City if he joins them imo.
I wouldn't mind him going to City, he doesn't suit them that well
I'm sure he'll do fine but would much rather him than Mbappe or Haaland going there

How tf is he only 27
I'd rather have a 34 year old Cavani than Lukaku
Can't think of a less Pep-like player than Lukaku. I would be astonished if they decided to buy him.
Absolutely agreed.
Have you seen our other forwards “general play” for the most part this year? If lukaku only scored the same amount as Rashford but also gave the ball away nearly every time he got it he’d be vilified instead of defended. It’s a double standard as far as im concerned.Mate stop please
Won’t happen, Guardiola will sign Haaland.
Kane
Didn't suit how we want to play at all. Glad we got rid of him whilst being able to recoup most of what we spent. Him, Fellaini, Sanchez etc. are remnants of a dark time for United. More than happy if he were to go to Chelsea or City !
What people don't see is his goal scoring record is same as it was at ManUtd. Only difference is he takes penalties at Inter.Mate stop please
He averages 14-16 league goals (excluding penalties) at almost every club and that's what he averages at Inter too.
| Mins | Non Penalty Goals | Mins per Goal | Assists | Mins per G+A | |
| 2020-21 | 2674 | 16 | 167.13 | 10 | 102.85 |
| 2019-20 | 2984 | 17 | 175.53 | 2 | 157.05 |
| 2018-19 | 2130 | 12 | 177.50 | 0 | 177.50 |
| 2017-18 | 2669 | 16 | 166.81 | 7 | 116.04 |
| Mins | NP Goals | Mins per Goal | Assists | Mins per G+A | |
| Inter | 5658 | 33 | 171.45 | 12 | 125.73 |
| ManUtd | 4799 | 28 | 171.39 | 7 | 137.11 |
Lukaku must that good he won against Smaldini. I wouldn't be impressed if he won against Brambling.
Never knew that Luke Shaw played in Serie A before...Which entire squad? I mean, Inter’s starting 11 are: Handanovic - Skriniar De Vrij Bastoni - Hakimi Barrella Brozovic Eriksen/Vidal Perisic - Lukaku Lautaro.
That’s 1/11 players from United - but if that’s considered the entire squad...
After all, United’s best player is a guy who couldn’t cut it in a mid table Serie A sideSomeone who has scored more goals in this EPL season than he managed in around 120 Serie A matches. But you could argue it’s because Serie A was better tactically hence he struggled while EPL’s lack of tactics and kick and rush football suits him better.
To be fair, Lingard has been outstanding in England after leaving us shortly. I'd think rather as a team, we have lots of problem in past couple of years.
If by use him in the wrong way you mean use him in a top 6 team, then yes. He has always been atrocious against top teams, the ones you need to beat to challenge for titles. He was always good against the bottom half of the PL and he's now in a league where every team is at that level.
I'd be delighted if City sign him to replace Aguero.
I think he’s going to prove a lot of you wrong if he comes back.
nah not for me. Cavani and Lukaku at the same age, yes, no brainer.
But today? Lukaku.
he won’t. He will prove you wrong. He’s not good enough for a top side, even more so a technical side like City.
I would genuinely love him to go there. If they go and spend £80m on him, it’s money they can’t spend on a player that actually suits them and can score in the big games.
16 and 12 league goals for United. 1 goal in 23 appearances against the top 6 in that time.
very happy for City to sign him. They would be better off not playing a striker.
he will, IF they play to his strengths. All those passes through the lines and in behind by City, he'd be on the end of them for fun IMO
Tap ins galore. Lukaku to City is not something to ignore.
I can see them going for Ings too
