Would be a bad move for us and for him. Don't know where he'd play in Conte's setup.Chelsea would be an awful move for Barkley.

I don't like his lack of link up play, close control in tight spaces or movement in the final 3rd, and I think when you play with a #9 like him you build everything towards him, we are doing that with Ibra right now, he's too one dimensional IMO. I'd like a #9 in the mold of Lewandowski or Suarez.What elements in his game don't you like and what type of striker would like to see as the focal point for our attack ?
I would love to have a setup with Griezmann and Lukaku as a striker partnership for United with Rashford as golden sub.
has consistently failed in big games his entire career. Redknapp was right, he is a a flat track bully.Tweet

What's his big match record?has consistently failed in big games his entire career. Redknapp was right, he is a a flat track bully.
Agree 100%.I knew people would be straight in here to tear him to shreds, Everton are the bigger problem in "big games", he's performed well against bigger teams in the past.
Shit service, would score loads for any of the top four.
You do have a point. I mean you can judge the players mentality for being a huge shithouse ( not just him) but judging a Everton players genral ability in this game is not the best sample.You can't judge an Everton player based on the Merseyside derby - they will always, always be terrible in that match.
If Lukaku fails to make an impact against us though on Tuesday then that would say more, since Everton always give their all against United in contrast to their performances against Liverpool, so that's a completely different opportunity for him to show his worth.
Don't know, but this is quite interesting to read about Lukaku:Wasn't there a stat published recently that he has had no shots v United and Chelsea/Liverpool this season? (Or something like that). A bit concerning that he doesn't show in the biggest games though in fairness could be due to Evertons set up as well.
I agree.He's a good striker, no doubt, physically a beast and a good finisher. The downside though is what was seen from him last night. There were a few occasions where he simply didn't see the pass, I don't think it was greed, just a lack of awareness. I think it was Mirallas who had an easy finish if Lukaku had seen him.
Cheers. Not as bad as I thought so looking at it overall last few seasons so.Don't know, but this is quite interesting to read about Lukaku:
Does Everton hot shot Romelu Lukaku deliver when it really matters?
I still think he has a lot to learn. He's not what this team needs at the moment if Ibrahimovic leaves. The replacement has to be at his peak, world class and ready to lead this team. The problem is that there's no player available at the moment i.e. Lewandowski. Will be even more difficult if the club continues to struggle - players won't be interested in joining, because they won't believe in the club's ability to win anything in the near future.Cheers.

Serie A would suit him well, but don't know if any club would like to pay that much for him...If he moves, I hope its to Chelsea.
Trouble is they wouldn't be able to afford his fee.Serie A would suit him well, but don't know if any club would like to pay that much for him...
If Dybala moves, Juve might be able to afford it.Trouble is they wouldn't be able to afford his fee.
Chelsea will buy him hopefully.
What the...If he moves, I hope its to Chelsea.
I just don't rate him as much as others. He would be less effective than Costa for you imo.What the...
Why would you hope a rival side signs a guarenteed 20 goal per season striker who can only improve from here and is only 23 years old? I hope like hell that if he doesn't move to us he doesn't go to a rival.
I agree with this, I'm not sure he is what we need to improve but he does guarantee a fair amount of goals a season. Therefore I'm not that fussed if we sign him or not but I hope he doesn't go to one of our rivals, hope it would be abroad to someone like PSG.What the...

I think he'd be just as effective as Diego is but also has an aerial threat that Costa really doesn't. They both have pretty average first touch and both give the ball away often so there won't be much of a drop off there. Both are best running on to the ball in open space, and both will get you at least 20 goals in the league.I just don't rate him as much as others. He would be less effective than Costa for you imo.
Me neither. Lukaku is a flat track bully anyways. He has only scored 3 goals this season against 'the big 6' opposition. Last season he scored 4. Hardly the makings of a £90million striker.Hope we never touch either of them, both massively overrated. Lukaku gets dominated by half decent defenders and I don't think even Barkley knows where he plays.
Pogba has been a flat track bully this season (though honestly, he hasn't been that great against the other sides either) and you bought him for £90m.Me neither. Lukaku is a flat track bully anyways.

And look at how much flack he has took all season.Pogba has been a flat track bully this season (though honestly, he hasn't been that great against the other sides either) and you bought him for £90m.
I think you're doing Costa a disservice there, he is a better footballer then Lukaku and links up well with Hazard, Fabregas, Pedro and Willian. He does blow hot and cold though and managers struggle to keep him in check for long.I think he'd be just as effective as Diego is but also has an aerial threat that Costa really doesn't.

Lukaku wouldn't be a red card risk every match and doesn't have injury history like Costa. If we are losing him Lukaku would slot right in and I don't think we'd miss a beat, much as I love Diego.
