Romelu Lukaku

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Our board has seen sense at the last moment. Insane to let a player with his level of goalscoring potential join Mourinho and we just sit back and do nothing. Lukaku will easily eclipse Costa's goalscoring peaks for us. Under the guidance of Conte, he can become of one the best strikers in the world. He's just 24 and he's already one of the best in the league and I'm sure Conte will improve his work ethic for the cause. 

I pulled this off the Guardian comments section:
 

From Whoscored (if you feel the statistics presented is not accurate, do crosscheck it yourself): Bad control per game (UnsTCh) index is headed by Zaha with 3.3 per game 
Costa - 3.2 
King - 2.8 
Kane - 2.8 
Januzaj - 2.8 
Shaqiri - 2.7 
Benteke - 2.6 
Pogba - 2.6 
Aguero - 2.5 
Arnautovic - 2.5 

Guess who is number 2. We watch him every week and we know how often he loses the ball with his poor control and the stats just happen to back that up. Lukaku with his "terrible touch" is not even in the top 10.

It's just sad to witness what is happening with this club just after Conte delivers a *bonus* Premier league title. We are so poorly run for what is now a global brand of a football club.

Is Benatia joining him at Old Toilet or is he still in his plane?

Jim White is also full of shit at times.

The only way we can save face now is if Costa and Conte can kiss and make up. But the former is an unstable psycho and will love to hold the club to ransom. He's been angling for a move away from us the moment he stepped into the club. Let's not forget his ridiculous behaviour in January with the whole China affair.

Dear god, let this become Mikel hijack 2.0

More annoying cause now we know we wanted him but we're bullshitimg the whole time until united came along. 

[Dahnald 256]

AND United fans will start to bully us with this transfer saga.

 

Even tho I don't give a shit about that.

We should have stayed away from Lukaku then. We will look like fools now. Should have better said we never wanted him.

Really good scenario if Costa and Conte reconcile. You would save yourself 80-100m, and you can reinforce other positions with that money. For example test Dortmund for Dembele.

Now we look even worse than we did by not bidding. We went in at the last minute like desperate mugs and still lost out on him. 

Belotti, please!

No. Costa can fuck off after that crock half a year since the Leicester game.

He has dropped Conte completely and started playing shit on purpose. Fuck him.
