He spent a decade in the PL. He can cut it in the PL.
And scored about ... 100 goals in that time? Now I know he had loans, his early years but c100 goals in several seasons isn't great?
278 appearances, 121 goals (only 7 pens) and 35 assists.
The majority of Inter fans down here still adore him.
I know its easy to dislike the guy, but he's had good moments in the league. Only Kane scored more than him in 2016/2017 and he was playing for Everton, which also was more than his tally in his seasons in Italy. He also got 17 goals with WBA in the league, fecking WBA!. He's had more good seasons than shite. His obvious flaws shouldn't discount that he has been a good striker in the Premier League.
Don’t get me wrong, don’t think he’s a disaster (well, for Chelsea yes, about £80m worth
) and definitely don’t dislike him… thought he looked ‘ok’ at Everton but would never have said “he’ll play at Chelsea, Inter and United and be involved in huge tfr fees“ (I know he doesn’t set them)Think he's suited for there. Last time he had conte though so will be interesting to see how he does being older and coming off a season like this
Hes a big guy who was nothing more than a striker who scored goals against much lesser opposition.
If you’re going to put up tweets in a different language at least translate them
That's bs. Lukaku is much better than crouch.
Actually an interesting point. We know he's thin skinned and feels as though he should be loved and adored. What better way to get that feeling than by getting bought by another club? They tell him everything he wants to hear.
15 years ago inzaghi was a regular for cl winners ac Milan and trezeguet was the main striker at Juventus.
Speaking of thinnest of thin skins.
What a shameless wanker. Genuinely one of the easiest players to dislike in modern football.

I said the same about Pogba coming back to Utd, In fact more than once, swear to god. But did the hierarchy listen to me? Did they feck. I mentioned twice in posts on prominent threads. Something could have been done.
Yeah having a club chase after you blowing smoke up your arse, telling how much they want you and how important you'd be for their project, crowds of fans greeting you at the airport/medical/signing, announcement video/press conference etc. All fuel for a fragile ego.
This is why most clubs only get one good season out of him before he eventually leaves
In fairness, lukaku's overall game was much improved under Conte. And it was a fair assumption that he would still score goals.
Prime Adebayor was leagues better than Luks. Argue me I'm wrong.
Agreed. Probably not as prolific but had much more to his game and to cap it all, the ball didn't bounce off him unpredictably whenever he tried to take a touch.
I'd choose peak adebayor over peak lukaku any day of the week.
Lukaku's best Premier league season was his last at Everton where he scored 25 from 37. Adebayors best he scored 24 from 36 for arsenal.
Lukaku is a large Chicharito, he belongs to Leverkusen or as a squad player in a good/very good club.
0.68 gpg vs 0.67 gpg.
I can imagine Lukaku having that first touch yeah.
That's surprising to me...for some reason I had it in my head lukaku was much more prolific (though a worse all rounder). Ade was class at his best.
