Did you? Go watch his champions league goals and then wash your mouth with soap. What an insultDid you ever see Cole play?!

I dont think he was having a crack at Cole mate. I think he was having a dig a the poster who said Lukaku was on the same page as Andy Cole.Did you? Go watch his champions league goals and then wash your mouth with soap. What an insult
Mark Henry meme wasn't just a meme, perhaps.He looks massive in that preseason game. Jesus
If Quag could be top scorer there in a vastly inferior team, I don't think that would be a huge achievement. I don't think this Inter team are going to be very creative though so it'll be interesting to see how he fares.Not sure why all the hate - sure he wasn't the most technically gifted CF we had but nor was Andy Cole as an example. He did a job for us for a couple of seasons and I wish him well at Inter. Personally think he'll be in the top 3 goalscorers in Serie A whilst he is there
It’s a bad example.Not sure why all the hate - sure he wasn't the most technically gifted CF we had but nor was Andy Cole as an example.
That is true - but the price of the player has nothing to do with his actual position in the squad. That's based on performances. I don't think we should have kept him, but what i find disappointing is the way he moved out of the club. There is no excuse for being entirely unprofessional.You simply don't keep an 80m forward to play as flat track bully. And he doesn't guarantee goals if not being served on a plate which is the case with our side recently.
Again, that's my problem. You either establish that you are good enough to start with your performances, or you accept you are a squad player. The attitude that I'll just move elsewhere because i can't be bothered to improve is what's entirely unacceptable, and has left us short of a important squad position for this season. A professional and respectful way to do this would be what Pogba seems to be doing. Pogba knows he will have a good chance of winning the Champions League with other clubs which will be interested in signing him (Madrid, PSG, Barca, Juve), but he has decided to stay for this season. He knows we are rebuilding under a new manager, and if he leaves now, it will make it very hard for us to get into the top 4. I'm sure Pogba (like all man-utd fans here) knows that we won't win the league this season.But, why? He wanted to be a starter, and the very fact that he was considered a squad player at best is one of the chief reasons he wanted out.
Are you his fecking brother? Andy Cole is one of the best strikers the prem has ever seen (fastest player to 50 prem goals for example, a record he still holds) and is one of uniteds greats. Lukaku is an average striker who kicked up a stink the moment he was dropped for not performing well enough. There is no comparison.Not sure why all the hate - sure he wasn't the most technically gifted CF we had but nor was Andy Cole as an example.

Indeed it will and it will remind us that no matter how bad we play in a game, it could be much worse!This is going to be the new Danny Welbeck thread isn't it? Bumped everytime he takes a shit first touch, leaving it 10 yards behind the other attackers.
Indeed. It’s been his appalling attitude that we have seen over the past 6 months.Are you his fecking brother? Andy Cole is one of the best strikers the prem has ever seen (fastest player to 50 prem goals for example, a record he still holds) and is one of uniteds greats. Lukaku is an average striker who kicked up a stink the moment he was dropped for not performing well enough. There is no comparison.
As for the hate, lukaku looked like he didn't give a feck and then made a media circus and went awol. Not that hard to see why people don't like him.
I can see it now. Inter get relegated to the Europa League, we face them and Lukaku scores a winner against us.This is going to be the new Danny Welbeck thread isn't it? Bumped everytime he takes a shit.
Confirms what we thought. The players weren’t trained fitness under Jose.
Such a tough life, being a footballer.
Very strange opinion considering that Conte exactly plays that kind of football based on high pressing in every team he managed and he’s doing the same at Inter as his trademark.Regardless of how he does over there, he was never going to work out here.
He would have killed any chance of fluid football we would try to play. And just imagine him in a pressing team, he would look so out of place.
The Italian league will suit him much better though.
In fairness I don’t think he was over actually overweight, just too much muscle and his body frame made him look fat when I’m reality he was ripped.Laughing at having to eat salad now - unprofessional fecker knew he was overweight and was actively doing nothing about it till now
Thats what I tell my mom when she says I'm getting fat.In fairness I don’t think he was over actually overweight, just too much muscle and his body frame made him look fat when I’m reality he was ripped.
He had a LOT of fat built into those muscles.. ripped like a body builder off season..In fairness I don’t think he was over actually overweight, just too much muscle and his body frame made him look fat when I’m reality he was ripped.
Did you watch any UNITED matches last year?Very strange opinion considering that Conte exactly plays that kind of football based on high pressing in every team he managed and he’s doing the same at Inter as his trademark.
Did you read what I wrote?Did you watch any UNITED matches last year?
Lukaku slowed us down immensely
Good luck to Conte then! He'll be in for a rude surprise, when he sees his #9 tire out after pressing for 10 mins.Very strange opinion considering that Conte exactly plays that kind of football based on high pressing in every team he managed and he’s doing the same at Inter as his trademark.
If Conte wants to play a high press with his striker contributing, Lukaku will have to slim down a lot.Did you read what I wrote?
So how you can imagine that he would fit into a Conte team if Conte plays with high pressing? Very simple question.
Racist.How a 3-footed man can have such a bad touch is beyond me.
When you're a professional athlete though, having too much muscle is still being overweight.In fairness I don’t think he was over actually overweight, just too much muscle and his body frame made him look fat when I’m reality he was ripped.
He won’t. And it won’t be the first time or the last time that a player signed does not suit the system.So how you can imagine that he would fit into a Conte team if Conte plays with high pressing? Very simple question.
With respect, behave yourself. Cole scored over 120 goals across 7 or 8 seasons, despite a long spell out with a broken leg, playing against the best teams in Europe. His touch, speed, versatility and instinct (3 consecutive seasons scoring 20+ in all comps despite being rotated) were only bettered in the late 90's by Shearer, the generational talent of the era. Yes, he had a better quality team around him, and wasn't a good fit at international level, but to infer he wasn't technically capable isn't right at all.Not sure why all the hate - sure he wasn't the most technically gifted CF we had but nor was Andy Cole as an example. He did a job for us for a couple of seasons and I wish him well at Inter. Personally think he'll be in the top 3 goalscorers in Serie A whilst he is there
Right on then, so you’re telling me he was actually even more than just overweight. Muscle is heavier than fat and is a lot easier to lose than fat.In fairness I don’t think he was over actually overweight, just too much muscle and his body frame made him look fat when I’m reality he was ripped.
