Who gives shit what he does, he is gone and we shouldnt care one bit anymore.
Romelu Lukaku | Napoli watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Fitness. Same reason we play teams like Perth Glory, San Jose Earthquakes and Kristiansund.
Serie A is a couple of weeks away still. They need games.
It's a training game. Teams have those all the time in italy. Instead of playing starters vs subs, they get a semi-pro team to play against.
Difference is, we never wanted to sell Pogba, who is considered an important player for us. We were quite happy to sell Lukaku, who isn't.
If the Italian League is still as poor as it was when Pogba was at Juve, then Lukaku will be a big success.
Lukaku took a disproportionate amount of blame for our offensive impotence last season when we were creating 2-3 chances for him a game through an anemic midfield and lethargic team. He was never a speed based player, Mourinho got him to be a target man.
It's a miracle we got that fee, though, well done turning down the smaller bid, I don't think I could have!

Watch him get the odd "accidental assist" in games. Pretty useful tool as it will baffle opposing defenders, as long as his teammates can predict which way the ball will bounce of his boot/shin.
Yeah, the odd accidental assist will be like booting it against a tree stump and it happens to bounce off it into the right place.
As well as the other points mentioned it’s sometimes done in England as a favour to smaller clubs. Gets a bit of money for them and helps with exposure. Obviously the trade off being the players get some match fitness.
He came up with some ridiculous comments, like criticizing the training in the PL, that in Italy, they do "real work".
You're wrong. A bounce off a tree stump is predictable and reliable.
To be fair, Evra said something similar once he had moved to Juventus.
Hah! Take that Inter! That’s serious weight for a guy his height.
That explains their first offer, must've assumed they'd get a bulk discount.
If he is still overweight at this stage, how much overweight was he when he turned up at United? Although supposedly being injured and then not playing games won't have helped.
What was he is saying about Italy being real work
. Mind you this comes from the biggest bsr on twitter.What a turnaround in opinion on this chap. Does not seem like 5 minutes ago that you were all singing songs about his penis.
As funny as this sounds. It's trancedi palmer. The guy is known to be the biggest bullshitter there is.
Hilarious if true though.

Yeah that's what happens when you disrespect the club and act professionally over the course of a summer to engineer a move away. Fans tend to not take that stuff so well!
Someone should troll him and post the player weights from his last United session. Come on Luke, shoot your shot.
Anyone remember playing the original 2D Gran Theft Auto?
Remember the lorries being one of the quickest vehicles in the game when you get them on a long straight and they start building momentum?
Sorry, a little off topic but it just popped into my head for some reason.

He will get into shape. I recall Tevez losing a lot of weight when he went to Juventus as they said he’s been playing his whole career overweight. The result was probably the best Tevez we’ve seen.
Not sure Luke would fair too much better...!Someone should troll him and post the player weights from his last United session. Come on Luke, shoot your shot.
I haven’t a clue how much overweight he was when he turned up at Utd. That may have been one of the factoring decisions in letting him go - the guy couldn’t give a monkeys in getting himself in good shape for pre-season which shows his s*** attitude as a professional.
It’s also the part when he was criticising our training and saying Italy is the real work. Plus posting a speed test report without the club’s permission on his Twitter bragging about himself. Posting all that but still being out of shape is embarrassing and he looks a complete fool now.
You must have been hiding under a rock for a year.
I'm proud to say I never really wanted him here.
Granted, it was mostly because of his lack of technical ability, rather than being a fat cnut, but I still claim prescience.
Seems he wasn't really eating salads! Fatty has been gorging on those heavy carb based Italian cuisines.
He will play and score.
The big mouth he had all summer has added a few kg.
Lukaku + pasta = Profit
He's pasta his prime
Posting a speed test and then us scoring goals in second on the break was good.
He's just 6'4. He has no business being that heavy. I am 6'2 in average shape and only weigh 75 kg.
