We have a paper thin squad im mf and no proven goalscorer. So yes it is, a bit.

I'm a fan of Big Rom and I think we're worst off without him. I just find it laughable that the same people who complained when he was part of the squad are now complaining that we've sold him and he hasn't been replaced.

It is. Lukaku is good enough, he just doesn't fit the style we play.
Nobody scores the goals he did for both Everton and West Brom if he was that bad, he just doesn't fit our system.
Fellaini was still a good option off the bench.

The problem is, it's none of these are going to be replaced which is the issue

I think we would have done fine in Ole's new system. We're not asking Rashford or Martial to play with their backs to the goal which is what Rom struggled with.

 

[Devil_forever]

So 65m then.

Leicester held on and got what they wanted.

We could have got our money back if we had waited. We have 3 more weeks.

We are terrible negotiators.

Inter are not us, they won’t overpay for him like we did with Maguire. I guess it’s take a hit now, I just hope we haven’t paid much of the addons we owed Everton, though I know they’re entitled to £5m from this deal regardless.

Tbh, he also struggled a lot with his front to goal.

[T00lsh3d]

Bye bye Rom. I will miss screaming “fecking move then”, at the TV every 5 minutes you were playing

 

[sewey89]

And the rumours about Arsenal and their 40 Million budget...

Which has been proven to be complete nonsense and a negotiation tactic. Not a good one, mind you..

Doesnt he report in euros?

 

[sewey89]

So is Di Marzio reliable again now that he’s tweeting stuff considered negative?

 

[ash_86]

Doesnt he report in euros?

think so. But says we have sell on clause also.

 

[JmRssll555]

before bonuses? Or with add ons?

If its with add ons, we arent getting any more
Inter are shit and not winning anything. Lukaku will take a decade to score any meaningful number of goals.

If its 80m euros guaranteed, then fine.. any less and Inter can do one

With respect, you have no idea how the bonuses might be structured. It could be as simple as another €10m once Lukaku has made 40 appearances, which means we should get the additional money next year. That suits Inter because it allows them to spread the cost for FFP purposes, plus we are virtually guaranteed the money, unless Lukaku has a major injury.

It looks like we have pretty much got our money back on Lukaku, which is fine, I think. I would agree that it's not great, given that we bought him prior to Neymar's move to PSG. Arguably, we should have turned a profit on him. However, he had a poor year last season, Ole made it clear that he wasn't first choice and he's recently been outcast from the club basically - all of those factors have an impact on his market value.

We can only hope that the club are intending to replace him. Personally, I would like to see Mandzukic brought in as a short term fix. He seems like one of the only realistic options at this point.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Lukaku is leaving. This certainly ain’t negative.

 

[SATA]

Now please take that money and sign a replacement now, Ed

 

[prateik]

think so. But says we have sell on clause also.

so 65m euros? £60m.

Bloody well hope not.

Sell on clause on 0 is 0.

 

[Lee565]

This wont be a popular opinion but I would have rather united had signed David Luiz dirt cheap as short term option rather than massively over spend on Maguire and put that 80 million, plus lukaku's money towards fixing the midfield and right wing with real top quality because the best form of defence is to attack where as next season we will be defending a lot with the real lack quality in midfield and attack and defending is not even a stand out attribute of Maguire's either, Luiz would have been an improvement on our defence over smalling, Jones or bailly still and can play out from the back, defensively he has actually become better over the past 3 or 4 years.

 

[sewey89]

Lukaku is leaving. This certainly ain’t negative.

very true. But he’s reporting a lower price than the English press, which is what I meant by negative.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

The adds on’s will hopefully be easily achaivebale. 25 goals scored etc.

You’d want to put David Luiz in our horrendously erratic defence?

Luiz is a liability defensively. How would getting a clown help us sort our defence out? Numbers is not what we need. Reliability is what we were missing .

 

[izec]

We have time for a signing or two. Come on Ed, pull your finger out

 

[Godfather]

Not a very good deal at all. Even less so if we don't reinvest the money.

I'll be honest. I dont care if we lose money on Lukaku. We waste plenty. He is not that good. getting 60-70m for him is pretty decent.

I am just annoyed we didnt rinse Inter. I would be happy if he went for the same amount to any other club..

Hope is a total disaster.. even if it means us not getting any bonuses.

He'll probably do well though, considering how rubbish the Serie A is.

Youre right not a popular opinion

78m for Lukaku including add ons

Sold at a big loss despite having three years on his deal

It’s absolutely embarrassing

Chelsea would have flogged him for a trillion

Nope.

 

[giorno]

€65m base fee, €13m add ons, at least 5 of which easy to reach

£72m at the current exchange. Not too shabby from Woodward

 

[Feed Me]

Nope.

What did we buy him for?

 

[2E_MUFC]

People think selling Lukaku is positive, hoping that we reinvest the money. What are you going to think when we sign no one tomorrow?

 

[Catt]

Disagreed.

I mean, I agree that it would be an idiotic thing to do but it wouldn't be shocking for the club to do it.

the club have basically briefed they want to keep Smalling.

Closer to 74 isn't it?

 

[Lee565]

Still better than smalling, Jones or bailly, if it was all about defending we wouldn't have spent 80 million on Maguire because defensively he is not a massive improvement over smalling, he isnt an England regular because of his defensive qualities but because like stones he is comfortable on the ball, I personally would rather had seen united gone into the new season with a stronger attack and midfield than defence because the best form of defence is to attack.

 

[Berbaclass]

75 up-front. Who knows what the bonuses were.

 

[giorno]

Quick check says slightly above 72

Am I missing something?

We have sold a proven scorer at a good age with three years left on his deal for a loss

Do you think that is acceptable in this market?

 

[sparx99]

Just glad to finally sell Lukaku so we can focus on who will be there. Now time for Rojo & Darmian to bugger off.

Herrera, Fellaini, Valencia, Lukaku, Darmian and Rojo out in one summer would be a significant removal of players not good enough, past their best or not a style fit. Herrera the only 'loss' in my eyes.

Hopefully, we can get one more in but personally the pre-season games have been encouraging the Gomes, Greenwood, Chong and Garner look terrific prospects.

 

[Berbaclass]

Quick check says slightly above 72

I googled it. 80 Million euros is £73,882,800 according to that.

 

[Catt]

If we don’t bring anyone else in, where’s the motivation to even turn on the telly for the Chelsea game? It will take a modern miracle to scrape a top 4 finish this year.

Yeah, you shouldn't turn it on.
