Thanks Rimmy. Knew you'd know exactly how to deal with this.
Romelu Lukaku | Chelsea

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.
Victim mentality in this thread 
I think it was a clash between Conte and the club, to be honest. He wanted Lukaku, Chelsea were more interested in Morata.
In an effort to swing this thread back on topic...
Can't think of a former player I've disliked as much since Tevez. He'll probably score a hatful for Chelsea, but I hope his ineptitude in big games continues and we get to laugh at him a bit. I'm not one of those who is blindly convinced he's an awful player, but I cannot stand him.

Worth noting that back then that kind of money was considered absolutely huge for football. But basically rich guy came in, saved the club and injected a large sum of cash that set you on a great path forward for the future. Same as us.
Any chance of a reply? I'm interested to know how you think our success followed post being rescued and the comparisons between Roman.Worth noting that back then that kind of money was considered absolutely huge for football.

This is the Romelu Lukaku thread people.
This being said by a Chelsea fan on a United forum is priceless
RedCafe is far and away the best footie forum around, which is why there's so many of us foul oppos here. It really doesn't have anything to do with people not supporting their clubs, it's just one of the few places that welcome open discussion without banning anyone not completely in lockstep with the home club.
I think we can confidently say that every single one of us non-United fans would have been banned from RAWK within a day for the kinds of posts we make here. Which is probably why this is an interesting place to visit and RAWK is like a creepy death cult.
They are alright for a laugh. Some good Chelsea posters on here too @TheMagicFoolBus and @WeePat (others as well) who will have a bit of banter but actually engage with their points and avoid crossing the line with the wumming..
There's alot of irony in what was said though you're right, especially given the context.
How Roman made his money? For the sake of this forum, I would stop right there because Roman and his team of lawyers have been suing people for defamation, even if for the small chance this forum does get shut down due to your false comments Id stop there.
Also, he withdrew his visa renewal application (UK didnt cancel it or kick him out) because UK ministers were very vocally raising concerns about worrying Russian influence due to Salisbury nerve agent attack.
Since then Abramovich has gained an Israeli passport. With this passport he can come however he likes in UK and stay for 6 months at a time. He simply chooses not to, quite possibly due to still being pissed off at UK.
Yep there's not many other places around where you can see Sporting and Levekusen fans (to pick two random examples) in the same place.
The small minority of hostile United fans who struggle to/refuse to debate properly are like that with their own supporters aswell so I think they are just easily upset in general as opposed to because territorial.

He blamed a digestion issue when he was at United...

Fans and media will rip every mistake apart. That soft mentality is hiding just under the surface

I have a digestive problem too. I retain weight after eating pizza, pasta, and cheesecake!!
Yes he had digestive issues. He couldn't digest the fact that he wasn't sure starter at ManUtd.He blamed a digestion issue when he was at United...

He's very confident and self-assured. I like it.
Very scary acquisition from a rivals standpoint. Just what they needed, seems like he's not as bulky as he was at united. I remember seeing an interview of his from his early days at Chelsea and it really stood out to me how ambitious he was and how he loved the club.
He's really going to come back feeling he's got a big point to prove. My pick for golden boot even if Kane heads to City.

Love the way one pic is zoomed in and the other from far back to make him look as tiny as possible.it's a stark difference regardless
In fairness he is looking alot fitter. Still has no first touch But definitely fitter.
For sure, his waist looks tiny in that Chelsea pic.

Yeah, it's good we have supporters from other teams on here and it definitely improves the forum on the whole. Some however like to say things like United are 'irrelevant' or that we're 'obsessed' with our rivals yet fail to see the irony - it's necessary to point it out when it occurs.
Nice to hear, always good to see how normal footballers are.
good luck to the guy,
like a few other players from the LVG/Mourinho era, the right player at the wrong time.

It feels like his heart was always at Chelsea. Maybe there might have been an internal psychological factor deep down. Possibly his heart and mind was never fully 100% with United. Its different playing for WBA or Everton who are not direct rivals to Chelsea and then playing for United he might have seen it as a betray psychologically playing against Chelsea.
Only he would know, but the mind is beautiful how it works, so I wouldnt put it as zero chances this could have been a factor!
Skinny or not…you’re not getting past Lukakus major issues. He’ll score enough goals but hamper the team. Glad Chelsea signed him. Hopefully city sign Kane too.
Mourinho tried to use him as a target man at United which just wasn't his natural game. It's a shame he never gave life under Ole a chance but he was already disillusioned with life at United by the time Ole got here.
I dont think he'll flop, but to be honest Im kind of relieved that Chelsea sign him. It means they're off Haaland's pursue next year.
I disagree. Conte coached him well, he's a better player now than the one we saw at United (and the Lukaku we saw at United was already pretty good, just misused by Mourinho). It will be interesting to see what Chelsea can do this season.
He was a hinderance to the rest of the team. I doubt 2 years under conte are fixing his first touch and interplay. He’s the guy to score all the goals….but the team score less.
To the Chelsea fans in here, it’s unclear who you’re arguing with but trust me when I say we know we are where we are because of the money we’ve spent. There’s not a single Utd fan that would argue otherwise. The major difference is you guys don’t seem to want to admit that you too are right up there largely due to money spent.
edit: please ignore - just had more of a flick through and apparently there’s plenty of fans that think we’ve spent nothing and conquered anyway.

He must’ve thought he was playing against Chelsea every week.
Lukaku has a real victim mentality, and that shone through at United where the expectations are so high. Expectations are obviously very high at Chelsea too but no one can argue it’s a club with the same profile as United. He’ll do well at Chelsea as long as he can avoid coming under the microscope to that same extent. As reigning European Champions that may be harder than he imagines.
This is an interview with an Inter fan about Lukaku’s time there. It is opposite of your assessment. I think the other aspect is Rom was a bit of Conte’s soldier, and I believe he is going to serve the role Tuchel asks him to serve. Tuchel is very detailed about what every player does out there.

Here's to hoping he does terribly
The way he talks about himself and other things reminds me of Conor McGregor, absolutely batshit mental and up his own arse.
