Probably one of the greatest pieces of business in the history of football.

And yet your nick is “Don’t Panic”With our luck he’ll probably bring the corona virus with him.
I honestly don't get people like you who just eat whatever is shoveled at you, this guy has been bumming it in a dead end league for 3 years so the fact he had one good season years ago isn't relevant. Also having isn't relevant either, he's going to need time to get settled as well, people need to chill with their expectations of him right out the gate.I honestly don't get people like you. A decision has been made, try to get behind it instead of slating him before he's kicked a ball. He proved himself in PL already, for a newly promoted team void of creative support. Now he's got fecking Bruno behind him.
I meant in this window. The majority of people get over things that happen outside of their control 6 months ago, so apologies that I didn’t clarify that time travel wasn’t an optionNot selling Lukaku if you don't have a proper replacement lined up would be a start.
If he goes on to be a genuinely good option you would be the first in the relevant thread screaming your feet that the club didn’t arrange a manageable option to buy deal back in January.Option to buy too ?
This is a nightmare. Can't be true surely ? FFS.
ExactlyEven if he's totally crap it's still a gamble worth taking. He's just here to be a body and lessen the burden.
If he scores 1 or 2 goals, I'd call that a success.
So you think he’s just going to miss training for 2 weeks and pop straight into the squad like it’s nothing? After not playing for I don’t know how many months as the Chinese season has been over?Luckily there's a two week winter break coming up but go continue with your shit.
I made that post 4 fecking years ago, get a grip, he's been playing in a fecking trash heap league for the last 3 years and is now 30, come on dude, you're better than pandering to this shit.Don’t bother.
Watford fans used to sing - Gold by Spandau BalletAny chants yet?
We have been in bother all season.What a shit way of looking at it.
It’s saying we’re an injury to a striker away from being in bother.
Yeah, that's exactly how business works. Stonks!Not selling Lukaku if you don't have a proper replacement lined up would be a start.
Why would that be a problem? He is not brought in to elevate the attack. He is there to do a job, which is to act as cover. Would you rather be without cover? If this falls through, would you defend your position which is that United is better without bringing in someone to cover?I hope those who are defending this signing will stay firm on their stance few months later in his own performance thread.
Let’s look at this way: Spurs and Chelsea are not getting a striker either. The market is really empty. Haaland, Piatek and now Ighalo have moved. One guy from the chinese division one moved to Wolves. Feel free to add if you can remember more striker who have moved in january.And we had all month essentially. Is Ighalo really the best option we could find?
Fair enough, but I don't forget stupid things, so I'm still aghast that we did what we did in the summer, so for me Ighalo is Lukaku's replacement for this season, only 6 month late.I meant in this window. The majority of people get over things that happen outside of their control 6 months ago, so apologies that I didn’t clarify that time travel wasn’t an option
Thing is, if he comes here and scores 4 or 5 goals they'll still say it was a crap moveI hope he’s fecking brilliant. Some right miserable feckers on here.
Talking as though we’re signing some prick from the non league
Agreed, plus I find moves like this rather fun.Even if he's totally crap it's still a gamble worth taking. He's just here to be a body and lessen the burden.
If he scores 1 or 2 goals, I'd call that a success.
Do barca have a plan? Spurs? You act like we're the only big club that goes around for some last minute shopping because of a long term injury.Short term loan deal is fair enough. However, how can anybody claim we have a plan in place when we repeatedly end up going to the market trying to get deals done on deadline day?

Why, is he banned from training those two weeks? He's reportedly already in preseason training so its not like he's just getting up off his couch.So you think he’s just going to miss training for 2 weeks and pop straight into the squad like it’s nothing? After not playing for I don’t know how many months as the Chinese season has been over?
It's the Chinese league, not far off non league.I hope he’s fecking brilliant. Some right miserable feckers on here.

Wouldn't go that far, but there is seriously little downside, which is a lot more than can be said for many other signings pre-Ole.Probably one of the greatest pieces of business in the history of football.
Which youngsters will he take minutes off bro?He's not going to make any difference and will just take minutes from youngsters while doing feck all so yeah I prefer nothing if this is the option available.
Well said. Some good posts amongst the dogshit; always quite nice to read.Everyone thinks of the market as though it's like going to Costco and picking a player, yet Chelsea and Spurs have been trying all window for a striker and havent landed one. Nobody apart from United have strengthened this window, so consider that please before venting your feelings.
This is a low risk, high reward deal. We should be pleased
