It was embarrassing, but at least the long sighs on game day will end for me.

Well said. I was one of the outspoken people who thought Lukaku had gotten a lot better at inter. The PL is hard. If you’re not fully up for it you’re going to get found out fast and ever since that interview he’s had one foot out the door. I thought he’d come back with a major point to prove but all he’s shown is that he can’t hack it. He’s just not complete enough to be a really top striker in this league and he knows it and he’s taking the easier option.Similar to Pogba where he has all of the attributes to be successful but seems to have an attitude problem. Like Pogba, gone back to safer surroundings.
He hasn't scored more non-penalty goals in Inter, hisWell said. I was one of the outspoken people who thought Lukaku had gotten a lot better at inter. The PL is hard.

It was about Griezmann's loan not Lukaku's, the initial question was about whether Lukaku was the worst transfer ever.Tweet

Just going off this one. You might well be right, but Inter can’t afford to buy him unless they sell someone for 50m+ next season, which isn’t a given.
You could buy a championship football club for that much.Crazy they somehow spent 170 on both him and Kepa
ffsNever forget
Why would we laugh? We've wasted all the money for him!The only club laughing will be Everton.
Until they realize they are run worse than United, that is.
And there's the realization.Why would we laugh? We've wasted all the money for him!
Romelu has such a big ego and at the same time is so weak, man is 29 and just runs back to Inter after 1 season so he can feel safe again, instead of staying at Chelsea and proving his worth. That's one of the reasons why he doesn't belong to the WC group.Never forget
Did he even make it 1 season. Kind of seemed like he checked out more or less immediately.Romelu has such a big ego and at the same time is so weak, man is 29 and just runs back to Inter after 1 season so he can feel safe again, instead of staying at Chelsea and proving his worth.

Yeah, problems started few months into the season it seems. RidiculousDid he even make it 1 season. Kind of seemed like he checked out more or less immediately.
This was in the middle of August.Did he even make it 1 season. Kind of seemed like he checked out more or less immediately.
World class players overcome adversity and prove their critics wrong Lukaku. Oh, and they have good ball control too.Never forget
Dumb racist pricks.Tweet

And what's funnier, is when he gets held to those standards he can't handle it and cries off.Never forget
I honestly believe it was after the spell in the Autumn. Apparently his interview was filmed in and around the Juve games.This was in the middle of August.
The interview where he talks about how much he wants to go back to Inter was in early December, so about 3 months later.
So yeah, he was done with Chelsea pretty much immediately after signing.
Pogba and Dembele certainly shouldn't be on that list. Probably not Griezmann either. They all had periods where they've been good for their clubs, just not as good as expected (Dembele still has time as well).Pogba to us.
Coutinho to Barca.
Dembele to Barca.
Griezmann to Barca. (Jesus Christ, Barca.)
Hazard to Madrid.
Lukaku back to Chelsea.
Which is the biggest flop ever?
Didn’t this twit also say something along the lines of him feeling like United was not the right place for him after the 2nd game or so?Yeah, problems started few months into the season it seems. Ridiculous
Outside of injuries Neymar has been PSG's best player by some distance with the exception of last season.In regards to this deal bringing up the question of biggest flop transfers in football, surely naymar to psg and kaka to madrid are right up there
Feck yes.Are Chelsea fans happy hes gone?
I guess it's his persona and fragile ego. Because of the lack of great strikers atm he can consider himself amongst the best, but his overall ability is just so lacking. Still United, Inter and Chelsea paid big for him.Why is it so easy to hate this guy?
It is 100% because he comes across as extremely obnoxious anytime he opens his mouth. At United he talked about players needing to "man up" or something to that effect when he was Jose's favorite and being played every week, all while being arguably the most fragile high profile player in world football who runs off crying anytime things don't go exactly his way. On top of that, his style of play is very, very unappealing to look at, so it's not even like he's a player that gets you excited which might mitigate how annoying he is.Why is it so easy to hate this guy?
Yeah I think so, can't find that interview but apparently he was unhappy with something after only few games into his United career, so August 2017Didn’t this twit also say something along the lines of him feeling like United was not the right place for him after the 2nd game or so?
Also Inzaghi plays a more possesion/passing based style and I can't imagine him caring enough to micromanage him (and his diet) the way Conte did.I wouldn't be at all surprised if his fairytale return to Serie A doesn't work out the way he's expecting at all. They loved him before but a couple of dodgy performances and they'll be right on his back this time and the first round of boos or ribbing from the stands could see him crumble altogether.
