Havertz is levels above him

But Havertz doesn't score enough.Havertz is levels above him
Yes. When he was scoring for us rival fans and media mocked him and his first touch. Some chelsea fans said Morata is better than Lukaku, then when we sold him, we were again mocked and Lukaku was suddenly called even better than ronaldo. Now here we are.Lukaku is one of those rare players that unite consensus among United fans.
Still early days but it was funny how opposition fans were slagging and mocking us for selling him.
I don't care. He enhances the team's play, facilities more chances, makes his teammates better and scores enough for that not to be a problem.But Havertz doesn't score enough.
Yes, but people stay vastly overrating individual goal totals.I don't care. He enhances the team's play, facilities more chances, makes his teammates better and scores enough for that not to be a problem.
We're in an age where players can have incredible glaring weaknesses and go for insane fees and wages, as there is a real dearth of top quality in all positions these days.The difference between him and Antonio in that game was light years. It’s hard to believe that Lukaku is a £100m striker on £290k a week.
A lot of people still can't come to terms that pure strikers aren't as important as before in modern football, especially when they aren't really elite.I don't care. He enhances the team's play, facilities more chances, makes his teammates better and scores enough for that not to be a problem.
Eh, it depends on the team and the player as it always has. I wouldn't say they're any less important than they were before. Not like Lukaku would've been a different player 15 years ago. Good, not great. Just like Mario Gomez scored loads when he played but I never considered him a top striker.A lot of people still can't come to terms that strikers aren't as important as before in modern football, especially when they aren't really elite.
There's a place for strikers like Lukaku. I don't think he's a bad player. He's very good. I just didn't think a team like ours, with the way we play, is a good fit for him or us. We'd probably have been better off signing Martinez from Inter instead.A lot of people still can't come to terms that pure strikers aren't as important as before in modern football, especially when they aren't really elite.
Not unanimously. There were several on here in the summer who were super concerned about him going to ChelseaLukaku is one of those rare players that unite consensus among United fans.
Tuchel commented about his fitness or eluded to it actually.Is it just me or does it look like he's put on a decent amount of weight on again?
It could be that whenever he plays in PL (after Everton) he gets stressed out. Some people can get fat easily when they're stressed out.Is it just me or does it look like he's put on a decent amount of weight on again?
Most expensive player ever in terms of total fees paid.That three clubs have spent 70m plus on him is incredible. That one spent nearly 100m on him is negligent.
Funny thing is I pointed out all his flaws even when he had that red hot start for you lot and I was apparently only saying it out of jealouslyYes.

Don't think he's shit. Just think he has too many flaws to be regarded as a top player. Regardless of how many goals he scores.I was always steadfast in my assessment of him ; — he’s pretty fecking shit.
