Considering his first touch he’d probably move in for a romantic peck on the cheek and end up head butting the poor lass to oblivion

Oh she can hold her ground.
I'll tell him to tag me in then :D

:lol::lol::lol:
You might run :D
Well he gets called a donkey often enough.
Donkey is the next best thing I guess.. if they can't afford a pony.

If we bid 10mil, can we get him back from Chelsea? He at least is a upgrade on WW.

If we asked nicely he probably wouldn't cost that, especially if we took Mount off their hands

A 1 year loan wouldn't be the worst move in the world if we can't get someone like Kane in, at the very least you know he's gonna score a few

Sounds very promising. Let’s do it!

With Lukaku's shooting ability he seems like a safer bet as a boyfriend given her history.

A million times no.
If we can't get our main targets for whatever reasons, as a temp signing, cheap or on loan why not?

When all is said and done, he does the main job of a striker, ie: score goals, he's played 100's of games in 2 of Europe's top leagues and averages a goal every 2 games so he's pretty good at it

Whether he'd choose to come back here who knows, probably not, but it's not the worst idea in the world if we can't get who we really want

It's a terrible idea. The last thing we need is another overpriced forward with an attitude problem. He's literally already played for us and proved he wasn't good enough. Absolutely a thousand times no.

If we can't sign who we want you're happy to continue with Martial because that's going to be the alternative

Aside from the attitude issues and already showing he wasn't good enough, one has to remember the type of striker that we need.

We need someone who can hold the ball up and bring others into play. Lukaku cannot do that.

For someone so big, he's woeful at hold up play and the less said about his famous first touch, the better.

In the PL strikers at top clubs are doing a goal every 100-150 minutes (ignoring one particular freak of nature). Even Martial is getting one every 160 minutes. The last time Lukaku was in the PL he was scoring once every 200 minutes. You could make the excuse of the work a striker does for the team but Lukaku literally makes you worse.

What he has done in Serie A is irrelevant. Though he is mostly a bench option scoring once every 160 minutes for Inter, so that doesn't bode well either.

He's also an insecure big mouth who leaked private club fitness data on Instagram just to prove that he wasn't fat. No thanks.

People debating getting Lukaku in 2023 is hilarious, what's Morata doing these days?

That part can't be highlighted enough. Rashford is a prolific goalscorer and we need to keep in mind the type of partner that fits with him.

Yup, there's no point getting a 25 goal a season striker who reduces Rashfords output down to 10

It is, in fact, the worst idea in the world. Congratulations.

Kane and Osimhen might not be available, but that doesn't mean we have to resort to Lukaku.
No it doesn't but what do we do towards the end of the window and we haven't signed a striker?

I don't think and I hope it doesn't happen but we can't rule out the possibility and I can't imagine much worse than playing next season with no proper striker
