I don't disagree, but stamina can be trained. If he lost the weight, he doesn't automatically become fitter, he needs to push his cardio work for that. It's funny, cause pushing himself more and more cardio wise would obviously burn more calories and bodyfat/muscle.
Eating regime is also very important, he needs to maintain a calorie deficit for a long time. Honestly, I think Mourinho ruined Lukaku's style by trying to make him into some sort of heavy battering ram. He was a different player at his previous clubs.

Yeah, of course. Been saying for a couple years he should have spent his summer working with an NBA conditioning coach, the ones who work with the bigs, as their program is exactly what he needs - improving stamina and endurance levels, speed, quickness, agility, without losing core strenght. A Lukaku who can move and sprint as much as Cavani or Vardy would be a holy terror

Cavani should have been his model for the better part of his career, they are both technically limited but Cavani focused his game on movement and stamina. Personally I think that it's too late and it's a shame because I really like Cavani and I would have really liked Lukaku if he was closer to that style.
 
After watching Diego Costa yesterday, made me realise how much I admire him even though he is a numpty. So clinical, versatile, great positioning, aggressive and great on the ball. He's the type of striker needed for United not Lukaku. Huge difference.
 
Can't see him staying at this point. Him not playing a single minute in preseason and yes I don't believe this "injury" thing says it all. It's a matter of when rather than if.
 
Yes, hugely overweight. :rolleyes:

Wish I was as fat as him.
 
Rather sell him to Juve and get Dybala.... But that I am sure was never a real bid/offer. Juve aren't that stupid
 
75mil for a player who simply doesn't fit in with what we're trying to achieve and will be warming the bench would be great, anyone thinking we should be getting more is just not using their brain correctly.
 
I hope this is the deal that pushes our transfers through. It’s all fecking stalled the past two weeks.
 
Who would’ve thought there would ever be a bidding war on Lukaku after the season he had + considering the price tag on him :lol:
Because people in football are judging on every season except last season and also back themselves to get him fit. They're of the opinion that last season was an outlier.
 
I mean, money in the bank isn't too bad. Might as well hold it until we can spend it on a suitable replacement.
Yup but our forward line is seriously thin. New striker or even better a right winger would help massively.
 
So what was the issue with Lukaku, why has it come to this after showing a lot of promise early on?

Doesn't suit the way Solskjaer wants to play. Let's face it, his technical weaknesses are always going to be a problem although I'm sure he will score loads for Inter.

But if OGS is so keen on moving Lukaku, why at the same time he doesn't want to get rid of other players who are even worse? Lingard, Matic, Fred, Rojo, Jones, Darmian, Mata,... It would be understandable if OGS were to consistently cut the deadwood

More money for transfers.

It seems to me that United have the same problem as we do in terms of struggling to move on the dross.

We have Mustafi, Jenkinson and El Neny. They could all do a job for other teams but they are just paid too much. Teams at their actual level can't afford those wages.

It's Lukaku that wants to leave, as far as we know OGS simply doesn't see him as a starter.
