Superblue 6,372 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 A little sceptical but it has to say something that universally Inter fans are broken that he's leaving and all Italian pundits are saying this is a different player to the one that left United a couple of years ago. The biggest thing for me is that he has never had a problem with the burden of being the chief goal threat of a team. If anything he thrives off of that responsibility and in turn I think it will benefit the likes of Werner and Havertz to not be shouldered with that same burden. They themselves (along with the likes of Mount and Pulisic) I think will thrive off being secondary attackers for the team with a focal point in front.

Also where did you get those stats on goals on transfermarkt it says Kane 415 matches 248 goals and 63 assists Lukaku 519 matches 259 goals 85 assists I did preface it with an eye roller, that said, I still disagree with the notion of downplaying his record and achievements with regard to trophies, again not that I am a fan of his; I’m so still shocked we forked out £97m, I would honestly have preferred a Tuchel statement to say “our only target wasn’t achievable, therefore we could not spend” would we have been placated with that? I sure would have been. a copy and paste from Twitter, they may we’ll be wrong if you’ve found a more reliable source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 It's not a garbage league. What are the better leagues ? Luxembourgh ? Albania ? Lukaku has the same style as Kane - tall, big- and Dortmund fried us all summer over Haaland. What better options are there in the market ?

That is nonsense. Take your tinted glasses off. Is Premier league a garbage league? Lukaku scored 17 league goals at WBA who are a relegation battling team. 15 league goals in his first season at Everton. In his last 2 seasons at Everton he got 18 league goals then 25 league goals. You just seem like someone who has hatred for him rather than actually acknowledging he has improved.

Tbf..Timo's problem is not that he came from Bundesliga. It's because his mentality is a bit shite, and he goes jelly legs when he has to shoot at goal. Otherwise he has no trouble coping with the league or getting at the end of chances. I can take a hunch and say that Haaland is unlikely to face the same issue.

Different league and utterly different players, Lukaku is 28 for a start and already had multiple PL seasons. I do trust some of the opinions on here so we will have to see but I have a funny feeling about this one! red cafe lukaku to Chelsea thread fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Hope Tuchel can further his progression as a player. The impact he has had on Mount, Rudiger and Jorginho last season is commendable. I don't see why Lukaku cannot go up a level after joining. Only concern is he is joining late, and we've got major fixtures coming up right from the start. Little time to settle in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
