Romelu Lukaku

[Superblue 6,372]

To be fair what do you expect him to come out and say in public?

Leicester have been beyond shit yet Patson Daka is still making a difference.

How is that possible? I thought strikers can't score unless they're "fed properly".

He did just criticize Lukaku at the weekend.

Just read somewhere that apparently Lukaku got booed by the away fans at Brighton when being taken off.

I am expecting a rough ride for him from the MHL. One thing about us in there, we'll always stick by a trier (see how much love Alonso and Werner get or even how much support players like Torres or Kezman got.) 

However, if you do not give 110% when being inconsistent/poor then expect a verbal battering.

Feels like we can't compete for the top talents anymore or are reluctant to go for them

Depends on the definition of 'top' I suppose but I don't think we ever have been.

Ballack, Torres & Shevchenko are a few that come to mind. They were among the elite at the time of joining.

People are down on him now, but Kai was one of the most sought after young talents when brought too.

If neither PSG or Atletico can take him off our hands you just have to hope either Broja or Havertz make a long lasting impression.

This was confirmed by both Rory Jennings and CFCLewis (YouTuber).

Going to be a regular thing I imagine.

Good.

Only way back for him now is if he apologizes and starts putting the hard yards in (or produces enough to counteract the lack of workrate) but we all know his ego will get in the way.

I mentioned that in another thread. However, the COVID situation helped us massively in that regard.

Read a tweet that Lukaku's first touch is more criminal than DT's 😂
