What gets me so pissed off with him is how immobile he is, you'd get more movement from a concrete car. He's been really, really disappointing this season.

And Klose is the top scorer for Germany, and he was out of his depth at the top of club level football as well. What’s your point?
Finally, couldn't remember who he reminds me. Heskye could at least hold the play up though!
He's looking laughably big.
Well ''this level'' could mean anything, were you referring to United or the Premier League? if it's United, I agree.
I have never seen a striker who is so big yet so weak. Hes huge yet he gets knocked off the ball by players half his size.
Hes a target man yet he cannot win headers, nor can he hold up the ball. He doesnt even win 50 50s.

Honestly, he's quite crap.
Oh yeah I was referring to United haha. He is a good striker for a mid level PL club, but he has no place for a team with any serious aspirations. Some time ago I said he would be at West Ham within a few years, and I stand by that claim.
Hes a level below the rest of the main guys in our side. Everyones capable of moments of brilliance now and then even when playing poorly, but so often he just does nothing the entire game and looks like a subpar footballer. Basic technique issues with him that wont ever be sorted. The one issue in our team today IMO.
If we got a decent offer, I'd sell.
He probably should be dropped.
And he cant control the ball well enough in tight/crowded places and none more so was that evident today with Chelsea's pressing,which made Lukaku look even worse.
Is it a weight issue?
Last season, I think he was running around more. This season, he is very static.
4/10 performance.
Some improvement from his last few games.

Unfortunately, it's like we are playing with 10 men.
What would be decent though? He did cost 90 million or so... would you take 40 mil and take a 50 mil loss?
He doesn't look any bulkier, he was moving just fine for Belgium the other day, I don't know what his instructions are. I've been thinking he might have a bit of a confidence issue, how many games has he gone without a goal for us now?
Yes. Get rid.
Think he chose 75 rising to 90.
He looks exhausted. A couple of weeks off might hopefully make a big difference.
When he was younger, he reminded me of a slightly more skillful Duncan Ferguson, but watching him lumbering around he's getting more like Heskey by the minute.
Let's hope he can turn it around this season, but bringing in another striker or moving Martial into the middle might be a good idea.

I doubt we'll get too many substantial offers for him. Ultimately others clubs won't want to pay a high price if they think we're eager to get rid as they'll think we can be tempted with a lower offer. We don't have much bargaining power in that regard.
Who would you get to replace him? I've been struggling to think of many options, apparently Cavani wants out, I'd love him here. Don't think we'll sell though.
Feels like we're a player short with him on the pitch. Can't control or hold onto the ball, can't pass, can't score, what's the use. Bench him and give Sanchez run up front with Martial and Rashford either side of him.
I would take 50m at this moment.
How does he keep managing 90 minutes? He's absolutely atrocious. The worst striker we've had in a long, long time.
His scoring record is generally alright - if he stays on his current track he'll probably finish up with 15-20 in the league, which isn't particularly awful. Indeed in that regard he's actually quite consistent. The problem is that while we bought him with the view to having an imperious target man, he's actually more of a poacher than anything else, and his goals tallies aren't really enough to justify the limitations in his game that we've seen since he moved here. Play him and he'll rack up a decent number of goals, but he probably won't do enough overall to leave us satisfied without some substantial improvement.
Think we could get about 40 million from a top 10 side in the PL.
Outside of England though ? no chance.

Very poor once again. Amazing that he keeps starting games, even more amazing that he gets to play 90 minutes no matter what. Seems like he can do anything he wants because the manager likes him
The thing is we have such an awful it's difficult to even reach a conclusion on a lot of players. It's why we need to get rid ASAP this season, and see how they look under someone even mildly competent.
The problem isn't really the price. I'd reckon you'd find teams willing to pay £40m for him
Problem is I doubt you'd find a team who he'd like to go to, willing to take him.
Sanchez was on fire in pre season playing upfront. It's time to make the switch.
Lukaku is really out of form and confidence.

What a useless player. All he does is barge into people after miscontrolling the ball. His touch was so loose.
Where did the 4 come from?Yet another game vs top opposition and yet another poor performance and no goal. He needs to be dropped.
Everton would pay £60m to take him back. The issue would be the wages.
I dont think that would be the biggest problem. He does seem like the kind of player who actually wants to play football and not just sit on the bench and collect his wage. However he is playing every minute of every game... he isnt going anywhere anytime soon. The best thing we can do is hope his gets into the form where he will actually score goals and hope he will improve some bad parts of his game (movement, control, intelligence on the pitch, hold up play) and turn into a decent striker for a topclub. Him developing into a world class striker might be a bridge too far though...
If we actually had Kane we'd be a force. Playing with Lukaku is like playing with 10 men at times. Probably worse than 10 men since he's our only attacker up front.
Maybe he shouldn't go on international friendly games?
I just can’t comprehend him starting and finishing each match. I just wish a journalist would call Jose out on it just to see what reason he gives. The lad is a big lump with very little finesse...the other players must be fed up of playing with the useless sack of shit.
Not to mention, not many club would be willing to pay his enormous wages 250k/wk.
He never was United quality and never will be.
Id rather Sanchez or martial up there. We would look so much better
