He's better than everton though
This has to be wind up from the paper, you can't tell me the club wouldn't be able to get a better deal for Lukaku from a premier league side than what Inter are supposedly offering.Tweet
— Twitter API (@user) date
"United want to recoup most of the £75million they paid...
Such a fee is beyond Inter – as are the £195,000-a-week wages the 26-year-old will bank next season, despite him taking a £2m pay cut following United’s failure to qualify for the Champions League.
Inter – who have just been released from UEFA sanction after FFP violations in 2015 – are banking on United slashing their asking price and offering to pay a chunk of the remaining three years of Lukaku’s contract to make the deal happen."
So Inter want a cut-price deal and expect us to subsidize Lukaku's wages.

Yeah, I hope we don't waste time talking to clubs that perpetually take this piss.
It’s only 2nd JuneMust say that the more time that passes without us signing anyone I get flashbacks to that horrendous summer last year. I was hoping we would do our business quick this summer.
Yeah but before we know it, it’ll be the 3rd of June!
Nah, it's just shit-lazy clickbait journalism.
Add two and nothing to get 17, chuck "United" in it and job done.
I really want him, think he’s a very good player
Reminds me of that sketch from Fry & Laurie
"Calm down John, it's still early!"
"Yeah but it's not gonna stay early for long!"

I know and that's why I said as more time passes. I have a feeling June will fly by and we still will be saying it's only July.
I think by mid-June we will see things happening. There’s not really been any business done yet by any teams so it’s not just usI know and that's why I said as more time passes. I have a feeling June will fly by and we still will be saying it's only July.
Manchester United official bogof deal.
Buy Lukaku full price, get Darmian free.
Yes, but the fact that we haven’t signed anyone yet shows the lack of planning.
We were supposed to be planing the rebuild for a couple of months at least, and weeks keep passing and it seems we haven’t make any offers, yet other serious clubs that are truly rebuilding have al ready signed key players.
Clubs like Bayern who won the league and cup but still realize they have to strengthen themselves have already signed Lucas Hernandez and Pavard.
Barcelona who won the league but is also looking for a rebuild has signed De Jong and Emerson.
Madrid signed Militao and Rodrygo who’s also joining them this summer and Hazard it’s practically official.
Dortmund has already signed Brandt, Thorgan Hazard, Schulz, while also securing Alcocer.
You can see a clear difference between structured clubs who have clear plans and targets who make things happen quickly.
We are a very very poor run club, all those club mentioned had a better squad and better last years than us and still operate in an urgent matter with their signings. We seem to be improvising I’ve honestly lost faith in this club. We are managed so poorly that we’ll surely spend as much as the other top clubs but for average players, maybe one big “superstar” in the last day of the transfer window, but thats it.
Everyone saying it’s only June 2nd, it’s clearly missing that the work doesn’t start when the transfer window opens.
And the"it's only xxx" posts begin
Same every summer. Stories of wanting to do business early...
The only links I believe so far are the ones for AWB, Daniel James and Meunièr
I reckon James would likely have already happened had his father not sadly died.
Meunier is likely not first choice, but as a united fan is prepared to wait as long as needed just in case his dream move is possible should the AWB transfer not work out.
I’m basing this purely on years of seeing how this shit has gone down over the last 37 years I’ve been transfer muppeting about United.

We are a horrendously bad run club though. Wouldn't rule another summer like that out.
So Ole said he wants his transfer business done by pre season. So what's that 4 weeks...Yeah right.
Every manager has said this. The people above them are incapable.
I agree, not shitting on Ole, just have no faith in this club whatsoever.
We're definitely capable of doing it - 2015/16.
Depay - 12th June
Darmian - 11th July
Schneiderlin & Schweinsteiger - 13th July
They were the main four signings done early, then Romero and Martial happened later on as they were opportunities that opened up.
2016-17 also we signed Bailly, Mkhi, Zlatan before preseason. Only Pogba was signed in August and even if he was signed he wouldnt have played in preseason.
2017-18 also we signed 2/3 players before preseason. Matic was signed later as his signing was delayed by Chelsea, they wanted to sign replacement.
Yeah, cause he is that level player! If he was that great, he would be a regular at PSG. They obviously don't rate him!
I don't get your point about Martial though, we needed a forward and we signed him in September.
Yeah, it isn't like we go out of our way to ensure signings are done as late as possible. In all likelihood we would have already announced the signing of James if not for his personal circumstances.
We couldn't sign him earlier as Monaco weren't willing to sell until they failed to qualify for the CL.
So you two are telling us, we're not as useless in the market as some think on here.
I have never heard this, do you have a link?
We've already signed a young Ajax lad.
Keep your pants on everyone!
Keep your pants on everyone!
Muppets don't wear pants in the summer transfer window.
Very little will happen with the internationals coming up - but around the 15th-20th of june, I think a lot will be clearer
Behind a paywall but you can read up here: https://www.givemesport.com/1143471...to-sell-anthony-martial-but-kept-thomas-lemar
With them being out of the CL they had to sell and they were only knocked out on the 25th August so we did the deal in the last week of the window. @JPRouve has mentioned it a few times.

Also from around the time: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...er-united-sign-monaco-forward-anthony-martial
I thought it was common knowledge.
Thanks. Why did van Gaal want him the following summer though? If he needed a forward why did we wait until September? It doesn't make sense.
Always the hyperbole with what we supposedly offer isn't it.
But never the same hype for City and the like, even though City hyped wages to 250k a week before anyone else, and there's massive whispers they still pay more than anyone else with their split salary scheme.
As i've been saying, ability is not an issue with Rabiot, its the drama that comes with him. Its the same thing people are complaining about with Pogba.
Him and Pogba in the same team (unless he's replacing Pogba) would be very interesting to say the least.
He probably is, and time will tell, but no CL teams seem to be interested.
Because Martial was still a prospect and 2015/2016 was supposed to be is first season as a bonafide starter and as a striker. The best thing for him would have been to stay at Monaco at least one more season.
Also if I remember correctly United contacted Monaco in early August and the player was informed of the interest at that time.
I understand, but it said the forward line needed strengthening that season. If we were to wait on Martial for a year, would we not need a forward that season as well?
Stop making so much sense, we are not used to it here
Oh yeah, maybe we had several options and he was the priority, so we waited until this one was impossible before moving to the others.
