Romelu Lukaku | United confirm deal subject to medical and personal terms

[Kush]

He is going to cost an absurd amount of money, Chelsea bid in region of 60-70 million mark last summer and those bids were pushed back. His price has gone up since as he is scoring at a better rate. If we are going to spend ludicrous sum on a center forward I hope we try for better ones. If people think Rooney's touch is inconsistent and bad, they're going to lose their shit when they see Lukaku play week in week out.

With Pogba going for silly money and him not being as good as Lukaku then you can see why we would want around 70 to 90 million.

What do you mean by Pogba being not as good as Lukaku? Do you seriously believe Lukaku would rank higher in the table of all strikers in the world than Pogba in a similar table for mids respectively?

 

[Paxi]

Prefer Icardi to him or Kane. He can go back to Chelsea all he likes.

 

[WackyWengerWorld]

I could be wrong but I think he'll be another Benteke/Bony. Poor first touch, average technique, poor close control and not great link up play. Plenty of pace, power, height and workrate but is that good enough to cut? It'll be interesting when he does get a big move.

 

[VanHaal'sRedArmy]

The chance of signing two very expensive strikers in one summer must be hovering very near 0

Do your thing, Mino. Throw those tables for that £60M clause.

 

[izec]

Not for the money Everton want. Can go to Chelsea for a huge fee

 

[soad]

If Ibra doesn't sign an extension, we'll absolutely need to sign 2 new strikers. In my opinion Lukaku is a great choice but maybe he'll cost us much higher than his real value. Prefer Mbappe and Grizzi all the time, Kane as well.

Why would we need two? How would we play both?

 

[DatGuyRich]

Would rather get Lukaku than have Ibrahimovic for another season (or two)

Zlatan is the better player currently but we absolutely cannot afford to miss out on signing a genuine top class striker who's not only young but has scored goals for fun in this league.

Not really about that though is it?

Lukaku impacts games on another level to Pogba currently.

Fine. Chelsea or PSG will be happy to have him then. They are hopefully the ones who'll pay you for him.

If Mino thinks his client can make more money in the MLS (salary + marketing), he'll push Zlatan there. Zlatan, as good as he's been this season is 35 and still has value especially in a lesser league with deep pockets.

For Lukaku, he'll want a raise in wages while competing for cups at a bigger club. United fits that bill nicely; whether it comes off this coming window or the following summer, I think it's a big possibility.

People moaning about flat track bullies

Have you been sleeping this season? I'd have loved to have one against Stoke, Burnley, Bournemouth, Hull and the other shite we dropped points to at home.

Allegedly, not one single bid from any club came in for him

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

See you soon, Romelu!

 

[redspoony]

I like Lukaku, but I'm not sure about him in big games.

He missed several sitters against Wales in the Euros. May have been an off day though.

 

[NextSeason]

I despise this guy's attitude.

Give me Harry Kane any day of the week, even with a fecked up ankle!

 

[Ballache]

Since we can't get Kane, I would love to sign Lukaku.

 

[Jazz]

I despise this guy's attitude.

Me too. I hope we really don't waste money going for him. We need a very professional lethal player. We are an inconsistent team and don't need anymore inconsistent players, especially with a shit attitude.

Who?

 

[DWelbz19]

What's wrong with his attitude? Wanting to play consistent football for leaving Chelsea to Everton, and wanting to play at the highest level from Everton to a CL team?

 

[Jazz]

Who?

Whoever fits the bill. United's scouts can surely find someone. Just not this guy. Mark my words, he'd drive us crazy and not in a good way.

 

[TrueRed79]

Do not want. He has improved over the years but he is not a top-end striker, and not what we need. If he was available for half of what he will be sold for i'd take him, as a backup.

It's okay to say Arsenal and Liverpool mate.

 

[Dennis Viollet]

Gallo Belotti

 

[VanHaal'sRedArmy]

Engurlish players = fantastic attitudes
Foreign players = fecking lazy

We could try and find someone in another league, but there's no guaranteeing it will work out.

Lukaku is Premier League proven. He's a goal machine, and can only imagine he'd improve at United.

 

[Jazz]

Come on. Where did anyone say this. We're talking about Lukaku and nothing else.
FWIW United can surely do better without spending the crazy money he would cost. We're probably not going to be playing in the Champs League next season, so we're on course to lose money, we just can't afford to keep paying crazy prices, especially for someone who is not considered a top striker. Yes he can do a job, but that's not enough at this moment.

I don't think he'd improve at United imho. He doesn't strike me as hard working ( I could be wrong obviously) - just never got that impression. I also wonder about how he'd cope being under constant pressure at United. We've got Pogba to deal with already, we need proven and tough going forward, and I don't see that from Lukaku. Again, that's just the impression he's given me from watching him at Everton.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Jose does like a big, physical striker. Crazy to think that he's only 23 also.

If we really want to add goals to the team and spend big this would work well

................Lukaku
Martial .. Griezmann .. Mkhitaryan

Your opinion mate. Not according to the clubs willing to sign him up for their teams.

Yes I know it's my opinion, and good luck to those clubs. Hope very much it's not us.

When does Lukaku's current contract expire ?

 

[VanHaal'sRedArmy]

When does Lukaku's current contract expire ?

June 30, 2019 according to transfermarkt

 

[NinjaFletch]

Rooney and cash for him?

 

[NextSeason]

Who?

Harry Kane.

 

[Kush]

Not really about that though is it?

Lukaku impacts games on another level to Pogba currently.

How do you quantify a midfielders impact on a game? Isn't it subjective? If it's just goals and assists, then by that metric every forward influences game a lot more than any other player. Would you say Jermain Defoe is impacting game on another level too? I would love to know your reasoning behind it.

I know Pogba has been under-whelming this season but some of the posts and comparison on this board are ludicrous, make him sound like he's just your another average midfielder.

 

[Motorman]

Rooney and cash for him?

Good shout that.

Definitely would do

 

[Adisa]

For a big lad, his hold up play is criminal.

 

[MadMike]

Rooney and cash for him?

Why not cash + Lukaku for Rooney. He's 2nd best scorer in the history of the EPL after all
