Hope you're right ......although I can't see how Morata could be worth less than Lukaku?

- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

You think this Rom chap is better than Lukaku and Morata?
Is there a youtube vid with terrible dance music you can point me towards? Can't say i've heard of him.
Goals scored, games played etc. etc.
They will act like children. We hijacked a deal supposed tombe done for them and will love to replay.
Ohhh, yes pleaseWould be pretty happy with this if it means:
- Rooney to Everton
- Fabinho to United
- Matic stays at Chelsea (or goes elsewhere)
- Griezemann to United in January / Summer
Trying to stay optimistic as staying out of transfer talk hasn't worked!

We win the league next season if we sign him
This. Post of the day !
Definitely looks like it, because he scored 11 goals in 14 matches in 2016 for Belgium. In the years before his best numbers were 2 goals in 8 matches and 3 in 10.
Wow, just imagine the panic going on in Real Madrid right now. They were probably already planning with sending Morata away for 75m euro to us and then do a lot of great business with other clubs. This puts them in a really bad situation. Who's going to pay all that money for Morata now? Where the hell will he be going? WELL PLAYED WOODIE!
I was never ever expecting this deal. I thought Lukaku was going to Chelsea. And where will this put Chelsea now? I bet Costa is really disappointed to say the least.

Sky's latest update on Lukaku
SSN saying that a deal is very close but neither club confirming that it's finalised as there are still some details to be agreed.
Also saying this is not an 'impulsive or reactionary signing' and that Lukaku was Mourinho's no1 target since the end of the season; the club is using its strategic partnership with Raiola to its advantage.
Suggesting that Moratta was always a fallback option and used as a smokescreen, whilst they negotiated with Lukaku in the background.
They expect Lukaku to join the club on the flight to USA tour.

If true, well done to keep it under wraps to not letting Chelsea know about it. Jose even made baldy write that article to cover it up!
Happy with this, wouldn't be surprised now if Conte wants to work with Morata again and Perez wont try to fleece them like he did with us.
Half of Sky saying it's on. The other half saying it's not.
They had to get rid of costa first anyways. Which they are clearly having trouble doing.
On one hand I'm glad that we fecked over Madrid again. I doubt they will get anywhere close to 70m for morata ever.
On the other, torn between whether lukaku or morays are better fits. Have to say that lukaku is as close to another drogba as you get. Surely Jose will make it work well.
Sky saying we have been working on this deal for weeks. Meanwhile we have been negotiating with RM? Really screwed over them and Chelsea.
It's imperative that we improve our attack behind Lukaku. We don't want another season of our forward bring our only outlet for goals.
They might, but I personally find it odd, if the deal was meant to be for them then why didn't they errrrm complete it? They have had months to negotiate.
Woody really does love pissing RM off! hehe with way DDG turned out last season and now Morata.

Personally I think he could make the step.
He's confident lad - his goal tally to day and the price tag are surely boosting it.
End of season game with no implications
When United's twitter confirms this, someone please tag me.
Doubt BBC are wrong on this. Are Everton lining up any deals and don't want to be fleeced with other clubs knowing they have an extra £75m in the bank?
This! Such a shame Griez didn't go through.
What do you suggest? I want a player that can play on the right.
Morata > Lukaku but I'd be happy. Mourinho would get the best out of him in this more developed stage he's at that his chelski days
Jamie Jackson said at the very start of the summer "Mourinho is obsessed with Lukaku."
So Lukaku is our target player now? Interesting... that could be quite good.
I think that could have been it, they just splashed out shed loads of cash, so didn't want to get rinsed. It might have all been agreed weeks ago you know, and in the meanwhile we played with Madrid's hearts.
Thanks for the summary, hopefully it'll calm down people on here.
I also wonder what is up with Matic deal, is that a smokescreen too for a different midfielder?
We don't need him for big matches. If he can just streamroll weaker defences like he is doing for the last two seasons, then i'd be delighted. Remember all those draws at OT?
Yeah, the La Liga and CL winners might have to keep their reserve striker.
I'd say it's pandemonium in Madrid right now...
Because they aren't really that great negotiators some think they are. Their ability to negotiate is overrated heavily. Their board has many problems on its own.
Thanks, threadmarking this.
We need a true winger on one flank, right or left, would do massive things for our attack imo. Valencia takes good care of the entire right flank allowing the likes of Miki, Mata etc to drift in. The big problem for me was zero width on the opposite flank.
Though, I wasn't talking about number of goals and matches, I was talking about number of goals and shots. I did check about months ago (I think when Zlatan missed PK vs Bournemouth because I got annoyed of how many chances we have missed even though we had so many shots this season). And I was shocked to see that Lukaku was one of the best in europe for his converting his chances to goals last season. I was so sure he wasn't clinical enough before then I compared his previous season stats, man he has improved a lot to be more clinical.
I love the thought of Ed trolling Perez all along.I think that could have been it, they just splashed out shed loads of cash, so didn't want to get rinsed. It might have all been agreed weeks ago you know, and in the meanwhile we played with Madrid's hearts.
I love the optimism but come on now
Griez next season, fabinho would improve the build up and dynamism behind lukaku with pogba more attack minded.
Come on. If you'd get 80m euro for Mata, would you not be happy about it?

Everton fan claimed 8 hours ago that pogba and lukaku were "training" together and they said they were prepping for LA Galaxy.
