it’s no wonder if he is finished nearing 30, like Rooney or Fabregas.

the season Cesc turned 30yo

he had 7 goals, 15 assist in only 1945 minutes (he had a bad thigh injury in the middle of season as well, that is why his minutes were so low, he fully recovered from it later on)

can we find a 'finished' player like that?

lol

Settle down with the facetious comment about a racial undertone, it's a forum and it's my opinion. 

 

His age is not question of opinion, it’s objective fact. I didn’t mean to call you racist, but I feel it’s no coincidence that if a black player drops form people start to claim it’s because his age is fake. Of course, there is reason behind this, many African born players got busted, even last year in Bundesliga, I just feel it’s stupid to mix it with European born ones. Like I never heard anyone doubting Schweinsteiger’s age after his level dropped, even though looking 50 since 22.

Its true, though not so much a [roblem in Europe more in South america and Africa -nine players were excluded from the African Under-17 Championship in Morocco after MRI wrist scans showed them to be over the age limit. Congo-Brazzaville, Ivory Coast and Nigeria each had three players banned. The Under-17 World Cups in 2003, 2005 and 2007 revealed 35% of players were over age. the introduction of MRI scans now reveals players true age, so its becoming more difficult to cheat.

Lukaku is not a bottler when given a chance.
That's true and even if he misses some times remember that Diego was also missing some very easy goal opportunities some times.
He can also go through opponents using his huge body, even though he is not a particularly good dribbler.
But he is slow and of course getting slower as the years pass.
I believe that the age of slow motion players is over.

Not surprised people question his age, this does not look normal.

He missed this one, but he scored so many others. I'm looking foreward to next season when Lukaku is coming back home. We will be on top of the league again with a skilled and motivated player like him. I demand why people are always laughing with him, I cannot hear people laugh with Haaland, Ibrahimovic, Mbappe, Ronaldo or Messi - well Lukaku belongs in that list. We should be negotiating with him, put him under an improved contract for 5 years to ensure that other clubs won't steal him - or he does not decide to go play elsewhere. This is a rare opportunity

The video you posted answers your own question 👍

Please, someone steal him. We have left him completely unprotected. He can easily be stolen.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but if we don't sign a striker in the summer, then we should keep Lukaku next season.

So you keep saying Romelu, then when we start holding you to those standards you whinge and blame everyone but yourself.

Sell him for £30m if someone offers it. Donkey

This year is unfortunately a lost year, both for Lukaku as for us. We need to make money free to sign extra players and get rid of some others. 

This is were he can come in handy. A team with Lukaku is much more attractive for new players then one without. If I were the manager I would ask for 5 new players for next year and build a new team around Lukaku whom I make captain. He is a little less performing due to a lack of confidence
