You seriously think Morata would be more effective in the PL than Lukaku? 

Please!

I think he would suit the way we play better than Lukaku would have, but then again that's not saying much as I think Rom would have been an awful fit.

At least has morata has better 1st touch that can bring hazard and Pedro into the game lukaku has a 1st touch of an Elephant

I understand he has the first touch of a donkey but I really couldn't care less if he is banging in 30 goals a season for us. As much as I dislike Lukaku for who he is... he is proven in the PL and Morata isn't even proven in La Liga where you can score goals for fun. All this being said in vain now of course but to say Morata would have been a better fit than Lukaku doesn't make sense to me. Lukaku is the closest thing to a DDA Drogba or Costa that there is.

Morata could score half the amount of goals Lukaku would, but he'd chip in with a decent amount of assists for a striker, and, the team would simply be more fluid and beautiful. You may enjoy wins, but nobody would 'enjoy' playing with Lukaku. It'll be rewarding at the end of games when he's scored, but, the process won't be pretty.

Heard his interview...

"the best team, the best stadium, he best fans in the world".

"I'm happy to work under the best manager again"

The manager who didn't give you a chance when you deserved it. A manager who hasn't got any eye for young talent. 

 

I knew Lukaku had a big mouth but bloody hell what a wanker.

I think Belotti is the closest thing to Costa there is personally. Lukaku might have similarities with Drogba but not the similarities that count. I was open to Lukaku joining us but now that he is gone i am extra excited about the possibility of Beloit/Morata. That being said it wil come down to who we want and if we will actually pay. If i had to place a bet today I would on Morata joining us, but I also would have placed that bet on Lukaku and lost

Lucky you, didn't do it. Not worth it at all.

We didnt bid £75m for a striker 2 years ago. Chill the fuck out.

It doesn't matter what we did or what we didn't do. The reality is that Lukaku is a Manchester United player.

"CFCs my dream, my one love". Pity the feeling wasn't mutual.

Good luck at your second choice but to be honest hardly reckon it's an improvement over Zlatan at the redshite

 

[BlueStorm1003 539]

I can already see him getting booed at the Bridge. We'll get stick for that, and rightly so.

Yes he said he loved us, yes he said United is the greatest team, but the blame is greatly ours.

 

Still, didn't like the idea of him coming here. I think that UEFA super cup penalty left a pretty bad taste in my mouth. Now, let's get Belotti in the bag and we´ll be fine.

Chelsea spending 100 million on Lukaku.... They'll have to spend another 100 on safety glasses to protect their fans from his first touch

Replying to @UnitedStandMUFC

Explains why Chelsea are expanding their stadium. Need a bigger pitch for Lukaku to chase his first touch

Lol United fans before they signed him thinking he was going to Cfc

I could, if he's offering not much outside of goals he will be a hindrance regardless of how many goals he scores. And the PL proven notion is hardly bulletproof as we know to our cost more than anyone.

But Torres was fucked before we purchased him. His knee was gone and we should have known that before we even thought about going there.

Not just Torres. Sutton, Ben Haim, ironically the latter was signed on the back of performance's for a 6th/7th level team. Lukaku may be proven as a good PL scorer but in terms of doing it in a high pressed environment he has it all to prove, he looked terrified playing for us.

[Dahnald 256]

No need to boo him when he visits us at the Bridge.

 

Never made a real impact for us. Booing him will only make us look pathetic.

Ben Haim 😂 Thanks for reminding me.
