Apparently Inter s owner is not delivering what he promised to Conte before signing.
What on Earth gives you that idea? Greenwood certaintly isint going to start 30-50 this year, but OGS has given every indication that he’s a big part of the squad, but as a young player will need to be managed. If Lukuku stays (and 90% of fans don’t want that to happen), it looks like Greenwood (when available), Rashford and Martial are definitely ahead of Lukuku.
He’s not though is he? Certaintly not for a decent side. This idea that it’s OGS’ style that’s the problem is total BS - Lukuku was garbage under Jose as well - who have him his total backing. In a season and a half under Jose, Lukuku was anything but a good striker. He’s an average flat track bully.
Shame no one else thinks he’s a good striker, otherwise there would be more than just a single club that wants him - thank god for Inter. We won’t even be able to flog him to West Ham now.
Another transfer that will go to the wire and leave us that we can't bring in any replacement.
We are playing a dangerous game with Lukaku and Pogba transfers. And please don't try to tell me that Pogba is going nowhere. If the right offer comes in he's off.
Their transfer window does not close until Sept. 2nd so we should either put a deadline on the final date he stays or goes and stick to it. There is something really worries me that we have not brought any other players in yet.
Are we waiting to sell first.??
Was this 100 million really all we had for rebuild.??

I'll tell you that again and again, Pogba ain't going nowhere, no matter the offer. It's way too late for such a big transfer like this.
If Real raise the money by selling some of their stars, It will happen. We all have our opinion, mate. This is mine.
Some people man... If we do sell so late into the transfer window, it would just make us seem even weaker than before.
This late ? It won't and your opinion is wrong. Which stars can Madrid sell to even close to a Pogba type of fee ?
We will see.
Strikers in Italy get plenty of opportunity to run at defenders. That's Lukaku's bread and butter.
If Pogba was to be sold then it would have been dealt with or at least the rumors would have been much stronger. The window closes in a little more than 2 weeks. Clubs would fleece us even more if we're to look for a replacement
As long as he doesn't leave the ball behind him
Pogba seems to be engaging a lot more into representing the club in different social media and public interactions and seem perfectly fine with staying so far. Ole talked about it, Mata as well, he isn't going anywhere.
I dont rate him highly but in the right setup he is a 20 goal a season striker. Thats a good striker just not elite.
Inter are not an elite club either so its about his level.
At smaller clubs. Not at inter. Inter face more parked buses than United
Those things do paint a picture of him staying for at least one season. I'm sure the club will try to get him to sign another (mega contract) in the meantime.
I wouldn't have minded to see him sold but it needed to happen much earlier in the window.
So it's too late for spurs to sell Eriksen. It's too late for Leicester to sell Maguire. Deals will go down to the last day and clubs should be prepared for this with replacements lined up. How do you know that we haven't. Please respect other opinions and don't be trying to convince them that you are right all the time.
I would never come out and say another persons opinion is wrong, it's very disrespectful. I would agree to disagree.
We are a much bigger club than Spurs or Leicester, and Pogba is a much more important player than Eriksen or Maguire.
I'm sorry but a Pogba deal (and United finding adequate replacement(s)) represents a much bigger process than anything involving Eriksen and Maguire. I respect your opinion, I think it's wrong though. I'm allowed to say that. Besides if you read how Ole values him, what Mata said about him recently, it doesn't strike as a player fighting for a move and besides the club doesn't wanna let him go this summer.
I hope Conte quits in a fit of rage if his owners can’t deliver their promise and give him Lukaku. That’ll be fun to see
Of all the players a manager with access to a decent transfer purse could want, why Lukaku 
?
?We may be a bigger club. Spurs finished ahead of us last year and got to the Champions League final. Eriksen was one of their best performers and has been over the past 3 years.
Maguire has been Leicester City's player of the year for last couple of seasons. So don't give that excuse.
HLN reporting that lukaku has the wrong attitude at the moment.
He is barely training and has isolated himself from the group.
Since he is not motivated anymore, he is barely trying and not ready for the start of the season.
Question is being asked: Inter can't afford Lukaku so what will Lukaku do next?
Sounds like a healthy situation

There is no "maybe" here. It's not just United too, it's Pogba , a player of higher profile and possibly Real Madrid. A deal like that is huge
We will agree to disagree. Player power could be the winner in the end.
Like you said, time will tell.
Will be difficult for the club to justify not playing (at least from the bench) a £50m (more of you believe Ed) player on big wages. Much easier to justify it with a 17 year old.
We may well have Bruno lined up as a Pogba replacement if he goes
Inter are desperate for a striker, yet they're pissing around with their bids?
Lukaku is a top striker. Proven goalscorer at the highest level and would smash it in Serie A. Unless they want to go into the season without any established strikers, they need to pay up.

Milinkovic-Savic and Yedder all lined up according to certain reports. So Pogba and Lukaku could well leave for the right offers. Bruno is supposed to have been our Herrera replacement, but that may well now be McTommy. Who knows, transfer speculation is a crazy world of false news and click bait.

Huge hypocrite if true after taking subliminal shots at others with his comments about 'manning up' and focusing on football last season
Bruno doesn't seem to be the same type of player as Herrera, he's much more an attacking midfielder (like Pogba for us). Longstaff or Lemina seem the more likely Herrera replacements out of the ones linked, with SMS or Bruno lined up in the event that Pogba gets his wishes.
How highly thought of is their striker, Martinez? Could he be a makeweight in a potential deal?
I just can’t see how Rom fits into our new style of play at all.

Completely different than Lukaku, but compared to the modern game Martinez is better suited (and the better footballer). Finisher, fairly decent at most elements of the game. Not comparable, but his finishing reminds me of Aguero's. I've been wondering why we have not asked for him as part of a deal, with a lot less money going our way. Would even take a straight swap if that what it takes to get Lukaku out of the club since we are not going to get much for Lukaku next summer.
Only way I can see him going now is a direct replacement in the deal, something like 70M plus Isco would work but I would be stunned now if we accepted straight money for him without time for a replacement.
Could be wrong and if we do, Woodward needs shooting.
Isint he their only other striker - assuming Icardi has no future. They need additions in that area, so can’t see them entertaining a swap.
Yeah, he looked pretty decent for a not so decent Argentina. Mobile, much better technically than Rom and of course, very young. If Conte wants to acquire Dzeko and Lukaku, maybe he's not going to feature that prominently for them.
I just hope we somehow get this deal through. Ideally, we'd accept the latest offer on the condition they take Sanchez on a free.
Of all the players a manager with access to a decent transfer purse could want, why Lukaku
Because he's a very good striker, as he's shown throughout his career, including a very impressive World Cup just last Summer...
And a manager like Conte knows how to get him back to form.
Lukaku hasn't worked out at Utd, but this Utd side, if we're honest, is broken. At a new club, under an experienced, successful continental manager - Lukaku will remind us how a striker should be played.
I'm very confident of this.
Depends on what it would cost to get Lukaku, who would be their first option until Conte understands that Martinez is the better player and starts using him instead.
Yeah. Would suit our needs.
Don't think it is OGS or the rest of the coaches that refuse to sell Lukaku for the quoted offer, which is a fair deal higher than any other club in the world would offer us this summer.
I agree with the part in bold. I would do anything just to get Sanchez out of the club, as I don't have much faith in him after the paltry 1 league goal he scored all last season.
Just like Leicester should let Maguire leave, we should let big Rom go at the prices being mooted. Haggling over 10m feels ridiculous, just get it done.
