Whether you wanted Lukaku or not celebrating this is idiotic. With Utd setting the price at 75m, it weakens our position with other targets. The market has just gotten smaller and dollars will be harder to negotiate. 

Whoever our target was we should've locked him up before anyone else, now we're left scrambling and negotiating from a weakened position.

The club have shown a lack of ambition for quite a while now, any deal over 35m and we're hymming and hawwing until someone else comes in and grabs the player.

This is a disaster...

Chernobyl was a disaster mate this is just media speculation atm

For them or us ? 

I just hope its not another stuttering transfer window after a title win. I know, lets ring up Pizzaro and Hector. 

For them, as signing from club rival and rumoured as Jose's most hated player.

Yeah I don't know what is happening.

The amount of Chelsea fans with their Wenger-esque "we need to be smart with our money", "shouldn't be paying that much for Lukaku" type of attitudes sicken me.

Proper small club mentality that is. 

Look at real Madrid. One teams with one of the worst transfers but they don't mind selling morata to buy him back only to sell him again because it can win them the CL.

Spot on! It's very frustrating.

And besides that, we are still somehow seen as 'big spenders' by a lot of people.

I don't buy that myth at all.

for quite some time now the money in has been in close relation to the money out. Our transfer kitty is non-existent despite what many people on social media say we're willing to spend.

Everybody know Lukaku not worth 75m. Pure madness that. MU give them much more than it should be, like Pogba deal. Mino Raiola has the loudest laugh from all. And think it should not have any effect for another clubs. Yes, club will demand more money if they deal with MU instead.

Market dictates price my friend. There aren't any available strikers who can score you 25 a season. Even if his evaluation is lets say.... 60m, with him being homegrown and prem proven you have to assume that 75m, though overpriced, fits with the current market.

How much you think Real Madrid want for Morata? A guy who's never played regularly and never reached even 20 goals in a season?

I've just read someone saying on Twitter that Batman and Lllorente is just fine.... Fucking hell have our standards dropped that much in the space of 6 hours.

I really don't believe there is much of a difference between Batshuayi and Lukaku, different players and all but can't convince me that Lukaku is a much better player.

No way he is 60m player. Everton bought him 28m from us, unless he win PL title every year for Everton since then, no way his valuation went up that high. Everton set the price take it or leave it price and with his agent help, MU bite the bait, lol. It should not have any effect on other deals at all. Again, that is happened on their own world.

I couldn't agree more. It doesn't mean all this stories about Lukaku to United are true but definitely would be crazy to celebrate this especially if he's our main and only ST target from May. A little reminder: Alvaro Morata was connected with Chelsea until 2016/17 season ended, Belotti too. After that, only Lukaku.

Don't understand why that should be any relation with another club players at all. One thing I can tell you, if MU want him, Spurs for sure set the price higher than they paid for Lukaku. If Real Madrid want to sign Kane, they can get him for much less than they would set the price for MU.

What has Harry Kane won?

Do you get the concept of market dictating price?

Let me explain it to you in layman terms.

If there is one gallon of water left in the world and you and I are thirsty do you think the price for water goes down, stays the same or goes up?

Chelsea played their hand by telling Costa he's not needed. Utd don't have Zlatan... How many top strikers are even made available?

[DDA 9,690]

I'll say it again, fuck Lukaku.

[Leif 6,006]

But while everyone's bidding on the already-made gallon of water, some shrewd few will slowly be collecting their own raindrops, without paying the huge fees. 

There's only limited supply depending on where you look, and who you listen to.

[oldportblue 547]

he's still gonna sign for us, just watch. We will get rid of Costa very soon and then we will match their bid... may be wrong but this is my feeling
