Read that. Cracked me up.

Tho I'm one of the few that think he would score a shed load here even with his amazing 1st touch and not really suited to Sarriball. He knows where the goal is. And our lads can give him the ball to do the job.

Total opposite to our current strikers.

As far as number of goals scored?

Yeah. He has scored the same amount of goals that Dider has ever scored in the PL, and he's just 25..basically the same age that Drogba was, when he JOINED Chelsea.

But if they think Drogba was all about racking up goal counts, they don't have a clue. Just like the other 'statistician's who try to judge Hazard by his goal count.

Drogba and Hazard are just two of a kind. Would take them over Lukaku and Salah any day (all respect due to the latter).

Great pass back to KDB. He should have kept the run to goal going.

Imagine a team with Lukaku, Salah, Hazard and De Bruyne. A lot of defenders would absolutely sh*t their pants. It would be the best attacking force in the world of football.

No prizes for guessing who would be the weak link in that quartet.

Almost made me cry with his emotional farewell:

 

To everyone involved with Manchester United - from the board to the manager and his staff, the players, and all the fans. Thank you and good luck for the future @ManUtd.

Oh well. Best of Luck to Rom. He's the right question to a quiz answer, but will he be the right answer to Inter's question? Only partially I'd say. With his attributes, ROM will always contribute in his own way, but I continue to believe that any top club which installs him as their primary striker will soon be on the hunt for an upgrade.

I like Inter and Conte, so I hope he comes good, especially against Juve

Gary Neville launches attack on Romelu Lukaku's professionalism and weight after striker completes £74m move to Inter

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/08/08/gary-neville-launches-attack-romelu-lukakus-professionalism/

 

 

Romelu Lukaku had no sooner completed a near-£74 million move to Inter Milan than the Belgium striker was subjected to scathing criticism from some of Manchester United’s most famous former players.

Lukaku has signed a five-year contract with Inter, bringing to an end one of the summer’s most drawn-out transfer sagas during which the player was fined by United for missing training without permission and a controversial social media post.

Inter have committed to a package worth up to £73.9 million – marginally less than the £75 million United paid Everton, who will earn a £5 million windfall from the transfer under the terms of the deal that took the striker to Old Trafford in 2017. United have negotiated a sell-on clause with Inter.

United failed to secure a replacement for Lukaku and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will go into the new season with Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Alexis Sanchez and 17-year-old Mason Greenwood as his strike options after the club backed out of a move for Juventus forward Mario Mandzukic.

It means United have lost their best guarantee of goals over the past two seasons but Lukaku’s departure was welcomed by brothers Gary and Phil Neville, as well as their former United team-mate, Paul Scholes.

Lol at how it says  "not for everyone" under his name.

Quite the understatement.

[Vesper 28,795]

BTW, I do not like their new kits, that diagonal striping under the Pirelli logo is shit and the blue is too light

2016-17 was the bomb (like our 2017-18 home kit)

Digs at his weight are nothing new, when he signed here he was the heaviest playsr in the PL already in 2011. Its nothing new. Bulking up for the WC? The guy was already big enough.... swear he must of been smoking crack.

Think people will be surprised at how poorly he does in Serie A.

The league may have declined in overall quality but it's still comfortably the best league when it comes to defending (even CR7's record looks more human in Serie A) which will lead to many games he doesn't get a look in. I'd be amazed if he even sniffs a 20 goal season.

I actually think he will score tons. Lukaku goalscoring number is pretty good and I don't see Serie a defender can cope with lukaku strength. 

CR7 hasn't been monster player for a while now

Lukaku's strength? He may be built big but he hasn't used it to his advantage often for years. Take at Everton for example, biggest game of his career in the semi Vs United and was comfortably pocketed by 5 foot Daley Blind.

Serie A is full of clever tactical defenders and I can see many having him firmly in their pocket.
