Lukaku - transfer speculation | Gone

[zenith]

Mourinho really made some very very bad signings for us and wasted a lot of money in the process.

Lukaku has to be right up there along with Sanchez.

Glad this mistake is being corrected

 

[PeteManic]

Best news of the summer. Might have been top goal scorer last year, but massive failure. Severe attitude problem. Great to get majority of money back.

 

[Sir Scott McToMinay]

Haven't seen details, what are they?

I think £60m and 10% would be good. Anything more.... great.

£70m

 

[bosnian_red]

What a fecking deal from us 80m for that sack of shite and they're paying him 300k a week now. Get fecked Lukaku. If he ever comes back to Old Trafford as an opponent I hope we give him the Tevez treatment.

Didnt want him before he signed here, and was never good enough to begin with. Might be in a tough spot next year, but I'd rather do that with a squad who wants to be here and work together than have him in it.

I'm glad he's gone but you're really exaggerating.

 

[Raw]

Done well to get that much for him! Pretty sure that makes him the second highest sale we've ever made (below Ronaldo).

Please, fecking please use the money to sign more players.

 

[Robbie Boy]

I actually used to really like him and defended him no end on here when he signed for us. But feck me, he’s been a disaster of a signing and has turned out to be a thoroughly dislike-able nob. I got this one totally wrong.

 

[SilverPaper on the Breeze]

I’d like to channel my inner Gloria Gaynor for you, Rom...

At first I was afraid, I was petrified,

At the thought of you playing football in my side,

Then you cost 75 and I thought I must be wrong,

But now we’ve got Chong,

And I was right all along


And so you tweet,

Stats on pace,

Where’s the one on first touch? Your’s end up in outer space

We should have let you sign for Chelsea, not made you number 9

From Van Persie down to you, just sums up our decline


Go on now go,

Walk out the door,

Not sure you’ll fit through,

Might have to knock down the wall,

Aren’t you the one being a bell with your good bye?

Another helping of apple crumble?!

After seconds of steak pie?!


Oh, ho ho, we will survive

We’ve lost better players, like Djemba Djemba in 05

We can now play one touch, our attackers will all thrive

We will survive, hey hey


You’re meant to have this strength but then you hit the ground,

And hold your thumb up to your teammates as you turnaround,

I’ve spent so many games feeling sorry for the team,

It is bleak,

To witness your technique,

We don’t need, somebody new,

We’ve got Mason Greenwood and his youthful crew,

That’s why we dropped you to bench, in case that you weren’t sure,

Because you’re not half as good, as some kids from Wythenshawe,


Go on now go,

Walk out the door,

Not sure you’ll fit through,

Might have to knock down the wall,

You spat out your dummy, put on a face that was so glum,

But we’re all here to tell you,

Where you can stick that thumb


Oh, ho ho, we will survive

We’ve lost better players, like Djemba Djemba in 05

We can now play one touch, our attackers will all thrive

We will survive, hey hey

This is simply not true. Lukaku may not have been the best fit, but he was hardly a terrible signing.

People really have short term memories.

 

[Samid]

I for one am glad they don't get to watch PL football in Italy.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Great money but no one to spend it on. Hope juve gives dybala another push.

 

[Robbie Boy]

He’ll score loads over there. Good signing for them.

Icardi also scores loads over there and he’s shite too.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

£70m

Well, for the first time in a while .... well done United's transfer negotiation team.

I'm amazed anyone would pay that.... I guess Serie A have more cannon fodder teams than the PL for Lukaku to score against. If he scores 20, I bet people say "see, he WAS good" ignoring the fact that 18 were scored against Lecce, Brescia, etc.

Sanchez was a much worse signing than Lukaku. As proven by the fact that we're able to shift one for a large fee but are stuck with the other. You can make arguments for a few others being worse buys too. Bailly and Mkhitaryan* spring to mind.

* I have forgotten how to correctly spell his name and I don't care enough to check.

You spelled it correctly, well done

 

[Offsideagain]

An offer we couldn’t refuse. Do you reckon United will dock his fine for not attending training from his August salary?

 

[Robbie Boy]

Somewhere in a Mourinho themed bedroom, @haram is shedding tears.

 

[Edgio]

Good business. Did well for us at first, when he still had that bit of acceleration and his touch was a little more refined. Since that weight gain though...

I don't think he'll ever shift that and get those attributes back.

Edit: will probably still do great in Italy though

 

[kouroux]

This has got to be one of our best sales ever

 

[Irrational.]

I can almost guarantee that he is going to chat massive amounts of shite once about us once he puts pen to paper at Inter. He comes across as an extremely thin skinned, petty individual.

Don't let the door hit you on your fat arse on your way out, Big Rom.

Cringe

 

[Edgio]

Yes. If we get money for Sanchez though...

 

[Stacks]

That’s our second highest scorer from a shite season gone. He was one behind Pogba, but Pogba had a lot of penalties.

We’re clearly too late for a replacement, so where exactly are we going to find 15 goals to replace his plus a load more to improve our league standing?

Rashford won’t get 20 I’m betting. Martial won’t get 15. That’s a lot of pressure on Mason Greenwood.

We are definitely signing a replacement. Otherwise like you said we are going into the season with players that have probably less than 40 career league goals between them. Our net spend will be at 60 when he goes and wage bill down by 200k. We will invest

 

[Rhyme Animal]

A much underrated player on here for whatever reason...

Not the best signing, but he entered a broken United, and was never really used to his strengths.

Scored a fair few goals for us.

Good luck to him.

Yeah, he seems insecure and thick enough to start trying to blame other people if the last month is anything to go by.

 

[El Zoido]

300k a week are they insane

ffs ......you leave lukaku's first touch alone.

Crap timing the year United signed Lukaku (Morata was worse), who actually had a good first season when United finished 2nd...but he came back from the World Cup and was complete shit.

 

[phonics_tid]

Possibly the worst touch of any 'top level' player I've ever seen play for this club, even Fellani surprised us every now and then with a decent touch. How we went from the type of player like Berbatov to Lukaku is unbelievable.

 

[Im red2]

Done well to get that much for him! Pretty sure that makes him the second highest sale we've ever made (below Ronaldo).

Please, fecking please use the money to sign more players.

By the time Ed counts all that cash it will be next month

Comes across as very Kevin Durant-like. Good riddance.

I'll agree about his ( lack of ) skills and ( poor ) quality of touch and , yes, a bad signing. A bloody awful signing !!

But I don't remember him being ' trouble ' during his time with us until the last couple of weeks....

 

[Shane88]

Inter finish third in their CL group and face us in the last 16 of the EL where Rashford, Martial and James tear Inter's asshole open as Lukaku stands huffing and puffing at the other end of the field watching the destruction. De Gea occasionally shouts insults at him.

Fan fiction is the only thing that's going to get me through this season.

I’d like to channel my inner Gloria Gaynor for you, Rom...

At first I was afraid, I was petrified,

At the thought of you playing football in my side,

Then you cost 75 and I thought I must be wrong,

But now we’ve got Chong,

And I was right all along


And so you tweet,

Stats on pace,

Where’s the one on first touch? Your’s end up in outer space

We should have let you sign for Chelsea, not made you number 9

From Van Persie down to you, just sums up our decline


Go on now go,

Walk out the door,

Not sure you’ll fit through,

Might have to knock down the wall,

Aren’t you the one being a bell with your good bye?

Another helping of apple crumble?!

After seconds of steak pie?!


Oh, ho ho, we will survive

We’ve lost better players, like Djemba Djemba in 05

We can now play one touch, our attackers will all thrive

We will survive, hey hey


You’re meant to have this strength but then you hit the ground,

And hold your thumb up to your teammates as you turnaround,

I’ve spent so many games feeling sorry for the team,

It is bleak,

To witness your technique,

We don’t need, somebody new,

We’ve got Mason Greenwood and his youthful crew,

That’s why we dropped you to bench, in case that you weren’t sure,

Because you’re not half as good, as some kids from Wythenshawe,


Go on now go,

Reading some of these posts you'd think he was Dong Fangzhuo.
