The new Higuain.
Yeah but I doubt you have as much muscle as he does. BMI is a load of shite. You probably have more fat to lose where his body fat percentage was probably low already, they just want it even lower.I’m 6 foot and was about 107kg a couple of months ago. It took a few weeks of eating right and going to the gym to drop to 100kg. Surely a professional footballer can do that.
He does it all the time.He disabled comments on his last IG post
Look at the image he posted, I’d be amazed if I was far off with a 10% guess.Not a chance
I wonder why.He disabled comments on his last IG post
I agree with you. There are some sad feckers out there.I wonder why.
The idea of directly insulting a footballer online is so strange to me. I wouldn't even do it to an actual scumbag like Suarez, let alone someone like Lukaku.
AgreedThe new Higuain.
14-15%Look at the image he posted, I’d be amazed if I was far off with a 10% guess.
He’s told how to train by highly qualified and experienced professionals. By the looks of it he’s followed their advice closely, as he’s certainly not fat. Only stupid people I’m seeing are those who’re making out he’s fat.Yep.
I guess it's an important distinction in terms of his attitude. Actually being fat would suggest he's lazy and unprofessional, whereas being too bulked suggests that he's been stupid in the way he has trained.
Unfortunately for him and Inter it would probably be a lot easier to correct if he was just fat.
Apparently he wants Alexis nowImagine your last two striker signings being Morata and Lukaku. Certainly doesn't speak for him having a good eye for a striker
He's not thick. The guy speaks about five different languages fluently. He's insecure and as somebody else said he reminds me of KD.Christ he's thick
In that case the highly qualified and experienced professionals were wrong as even by Lukaku's own admission bulking up hindered him last season. Whether it was his idea or someone else's, he's been training in a stupid way that has left him fit but unfit for purpose.He’s told how to train by highly qualified and experienced professionals.

Let me rephrase. He is not fat. He has good muscle mass but not as lean as most footballers tend to be. 10 percent BF is very low and just because he is showing abs doesn't necessarily mean he's very lean. He is more likely to be in the mid teens.(impossible to know for sure as it can depend on how his body stores fat and where) .Look at the image he posted, I’d be amazed if I was far off with a 10% guess.
Yeh I agree. I know what it's like for some one to call you overweight or fat. I too lifted my shirt and showed my abs. Don't see the problem. It's funny. Fair play to him for a light hearted reply.He's not thick. The guy speaks about five different languages fluently. He's insecure and as somebody else said he reminds me of KD.
They're not just making fun of him cause of his weight.Why are people calling somebody insecure/childish because that person is upset that he's getting bullied because of his weight?
If thousands of people online were calling me fat I'd probably want to prove them wrong as well. Just because he's an athlete doesn't mean getting body shamed wouldn't impact him.
Especially since the bloke obviously works incredibly hard on his body, far harder than 99% of the people making fun of him. That's bound to sting.
He didn’t retaliate because he was called fat, he leaked speed metrics when nobody accused him of being slow. He has other glaring weaknesses that he’s very well known for being criticised i.e. first touch.Why are people calling somebody insecure/childish because that person is upset that he's getting bullied because of his weight?

He looks about 10% to me, but how do you judge? I’ve seen skinner blokes than me with higher fat levels than myself. You simply cannot tell by just looking at him. Finding this thread very badly reflecting on United fans. They wished him gone and now are ridiculing him at every opportunity. Plus then there’s all the fitness expertsHe looks like he's running at about 15% body fat which is low/reasonable for us plebs, high for a professional athlete.
Most try to be around 7-10% in professional sports.
Cycling is a little different but that's mostly on the grand tours where they can drop down to 5% over the entirety of the race.
Calling him fat is wrong, calling him out of shape for a professional footballer is right.
Whoever decided he needed to bulk up for the world cup needs a fecking kicking. Along with the United staff who allowed this to happen while he was playing for us. Its completely destroyed his balance as a footballer which he needed on the basis his first touch is dog shit.
If I was any of these teams i'd be more concerned about knee injuries further down the line. Football, like Basketball, netball etc, is very different to sports like Rugby in that heavy players dont just make longitudinal movements. Its the lateral movements going side to side. Add to that constant explosive movements and with that weight it’s a lot of stress through the knees
People are entitled to have a laugh about players and I get why United fans make fun of Lukaku.They're not just making fun of him cause of his weight.
This is one of the main reasons
He is a professional footballer ffs. He gets paid millions to stay fit and do his job.People are entitled to have a laugh about players and I get why United fans make fun of Lukaku.
I just don't think it's insecure if somebody who is called fat by thousands of people wants to prove he's not fat. Like, who wouldn't? He's human after all, people ripping you about your weight feels like shit.
This video shows how horrible he is technically.They're not just making fun of him cause of his weight.
This is one of the main reasons
Well actually, you can. Especially if you know what a person looks like at respective body fat percentages.He looks about 10% to me, but how do you judge? I’ve seen skinner blokes than me with higher fat levels than myself.
Like one of us going into work pissed as a first every day, not fit enough to do our job.People are entitled to have a laugh about players and I get why United fans make fun of Lukaku.

Lukaku browsing through his archives for successful stepovers so that he can post it on social media as we speak.Why does he think he can do stepovers? He must realise "This isn't a strong part of my game" yet he keeps hoisting those tree trunks over the ball.
I like his name in the menshealth link. Somebody having a laugh at Lakuku?Officially he's supposed to weigh 92-93kg

Touche, mate.That is the problem... he doesnt run. Just points and waits for the ball.
You just wait until he posts a video of him trapping the ball in training.His problem is technicality and not just about phisique. If had a Berbatov touch no one would be giving him this much stick for that huge body.
I'm not even surprised at this point. Glad we got him out of our club.You just wait until he posts a video of him trapping the ball in training.
Same. Best transfer out we've done in years. It's funny to laugh at him now that I don't have to deal with the frustration of knowing this lump is playing for us.I'm not even surprised at this point. Glad we got him out of our club.
I really feel like whatever technical ability he had in his trimmer days has regressed with his putting on weight so quickly. His stepovers seem less clumsy in his Everton days and in general he seems a bit more used to his body compared to now.His problem is technicality and not just about phisique. If had a Berbatov touch no one would be giving him this much stick for that huge body.
