Don't believe the interest from Juve is genuine, just don't get why they'd want him.

Well said.
No one is asking for double the output... Merely a slight improvement on their current minutes per goal output when played in their preferred positions.
Rashford should never play anywhere but CF, where I believe his stats are nearly a goal every 2 games. Martial should only play LW where last season again his numbers were a goal every 2 games.
If they both played 50 games a season in these positions they'd be hitting 18 - 24 goals based on last years outputs.
They want Moise Kean to see first hand the kinda player they don't want him to become.
Nothing forces us to register them if we don't sell them
If they don't want to be sold, just let them sit in reserves & not registered. Time to be ruthless
What's the hurry in selling him, as we hardly will replace him with a striker or a winger. The money will be used to sell a striker and Replace him with a CB which we should be investing in anyway.
Same
Latest rumour is we’ll go balls out to bring Dembele in which is a bit meh.
Nevermind
This is a good reply to my original post, and you emphasize something that I left out to keep it shorter, but you are absolutely right that there are metrics that should all be accounted for other than value today. Not selling Lukaku does decrease his value in the next winow with a great idea of likelyhood given his shortcomings in Oles pacy game setup, (Shorter term, age, lack of contribution)
Plus other variables that are important you mention like our sponorshipdeal with a CL qualifying spot.
A lot of people on these forums have real animocity towards Ed Woodward, but I don't believe that he is entirely in charge of who gets bought or not. Joel and Avram Glazer are both Executive Co-Chairman of the Manchester United board, and absolutely has the final say in big money transfers, the Glazer family are all Directors in Manchester United football club, whereas Ed Woodward is Vice-Executive Chairman. The reports that Joel Glazer blocked the sale of Anthony Martial I do believe, it fits perfectly with their hand in the club. Ed Woodward might not be permitted by the Glazers to go over a fixed amount for a player without Glazer approval for all we know.
I know that I come across as "This is so and so" most of the time, but right now with the transfer window closing in so fast, I just want things to get done and new shiny faces in the door so we can start the season with a Chelsea pummeling.
That I’m itself is a worry, there’s potential but none have ever scored 15 league goals.

Ahh poor inter. Maybe if they had not acted like J*rks during the perisic deal we would have sold them Lukaku. Shove that important 55m to your a**
Looks like the deal hasn't been secured as we all hoped
Perhaps we are throwing Darmian to the package to bridge the gap?
Yeah I guess we will not bother to replace him this summer at least and hope that Rashford/Martial come good, kind of wish we still had Hernandez around who you could rely on to grab a crucial goal now and again, a million miles away from having a player in the class of a Van Nistelrooy or RVP mind.
ffs, after Lukakus tweet I was convinced this was all pretty much wrapped up. Cheap cnuts.
Did he already forget how much he was asking for a fecking Perisic just a while ago?
Difficult not to feel sorry for them.
Happy to quote an insane fee for Perisic and not move an inch on it, then do their best to force us to accept a low bid for Lukaku with him not being "fit" to take part in our pre-season as a result.

Karma bite his ass. Asked for 50mil for fecking Perisic. And now complaining about us asking so much for Lukaku who is miles better and younger than Perisic. Top it all Perisic has turned to shit too.
This is basically why i was skeptical the other day when Lukaku posted that image of him and is agent. Everyone took that as proof that he's gone, but i just don't see how Inter can stump up the money we've been asking. They've made it abundantly clear that they don't have the funds and United have made it clear that they're not willing to budge on the price.
Unless they sell a few players in the next week or so (unlikely) i'm not sure how this will go through. Unless they magically find the funds. Hope i'm wrong as i want him out the club.

Lukaku stays then.
Can't believe this Juve talk at all. Just agents trying to smoke out Inter.
If we’re asking for much it means we’re not in a good position to replace surely?
I made an offer to a guy earlier to buy his car and he wouldn't accept my bid just because I didn't meet his asking price. This is so strange.
Lukaku and Darmian for Dybala would be about perfect under these circumstances, I would have thought. Besides, Dybala will likely agree for the combined salary of the above duo, so we don't increase the wage bill either.
The problem is Dybala may not want to join us and as much as I would be ecstatic signing someone like Dybala, I do not want another player who does not want to be here aka Di Maria.
Inter CEO, Marotta:
https://www.football-italia.net/141403/marotta-inter-offer-right-lukaku
Fair enough, but it's up to him to decide. One thing is certain - he can't achieve any sort of global recognition playing with Ronaldo (all and every success of the club will be associated with Ronaldo - just as it is in Barcelona with Messi).
Marotta can feck off. Talking about offers that are "valid and suited to the transfer value", after that whole Perisic thing ... I hope Rom goes to Juve now and lights them up.
Didn’t the same nutter ask for £55m for 29 year old Perisic to us, two years back.
it is a part ob the bargaining game. Who will blink first Woodward or Marotta. Are we that desperate to sell or are Inter more desperate to buy. We will agree eventually and cut our losses me thinks.

If he doesn't move, then even on merit he won't be making the bench (clearly a fit Greenwood is a better option than unfit Lukaku) - let alone the fact that OGS or Woodward might then decide to punish Lukaku for not moving
You are right. Which is why if he really wants to challenge himself and wants to come here and be the man to take this club forward , I would be all over this deal but if he just wants to get away from Juve and needs a place to earn money before he can join some other club, I won't buy him.
Oh thats funny coming from them.
It's just a last ditch effort to shave off a few mils. They'll get him.
I like Lukaku. I'm with Berbatov.
We're having a ciggie together.
We're having a ciggie together.
Conte throwing a few strops to the media in the next couple of days will get this over the line
Perisic had a fantastic world cup and Inter asked for 50mil. I don't find that unreasonable at all.
We were in for him the summer before the World Cup.
They asked for it the summer before the World Cup.
