Romelu Lukaku | Napoli watch

Get used to it.
Martial was better than Lukaku but Jose preferred Lukaku, not that they played same position but Lukaku played every game even though his performance was poor.
How much Martial would get? I don’t know, it all depends on which club wants him.
Lukaku played every game last season till Jose got sacked and we were 6th or 7th at that time.
Think he dropped him once to say ‘people want me to play Martial, look what happened’, or was it in his first season?
Lukaku has always been a good (not brilliant) goalscorer and I believe that peak Lukaku would get a bit more away with his limitations because he could be a lonely force and make some real chaos on his day. The overweight and static Lukaku of last season didn’t even score much, which made him pretty useless. Rooney had the skillset, finishing and smartness to be a very good goalscorer, but wanted to contribute all over the pitch, which often left him in positions far from the goal. Most of all Rooney was a brilliant team player who was easy to play with and made other players better, hence why Rooney still could be brilliant scoring 15 goals, whilst Lukaku could be average scoring 27..

That was first season I think, at the end of season.
he has always been a good goal scorer against shitty teams
i have made a check on it and with manchester united in his best season he scored 16 goals ( i don't even take into account europa league or national cups ) of whom only 1 against a valuable team
Don’t believe this to be true.
Even so, 99% of fans wanted him gone. So good riddance.
Hopefully this ends all the speculation on the CAF that Ole forced Romelu out.
For the umpteenth time, selling him was the right move, not replacing him, dumb.
Tbf, they tried but failed.
So nothing's changed then. He'll score a decent amount of goals, but rarely against the top sides, while annoying fans because he plays like crap most times.
Seriously, reading some of the reactions on here, you'd think he's a perennial flop. If you play him the way he should be played and don't expect him to be the second coming of Brazilian Ronaldo, he's a more than capable striker. Look at his goal today for the Belgian NT; it was quality.
I alsof feel like Conte is happy with him. He scores goals and that's what he's there to do. If inter wanted a slick passing forward, they'd have bought someone else.

I thought there was an interview quote a few months back where he said that Ole didn't try to convince him to stay or make him feel wanted?
He's a good striker when played in the right way but i'm honestly glad he's gone. He talks a lot of crap and his constant pointing was always irritating to watch on the pitch.
"Thanks to my football intelligence, I integrated easily" An Illusion! What are you hiding?
To be fair, that may be all he has. I keep trying to think of what it is that's the reason for him scoring, because it's not being good with a football at his feet.
We should never have sold him even if he wanted to leave. Golden boot winner for sure if he would have stayed.
If integration means scoring goals against minor teams then yeah, even his arse can score a goal but my god didn't He ruin a lot of attack transition. Maybe He's also good at making friends.
Golden chips winner maybe.
He would never have won the golden boot, even if he was a starter. Wouldn’t have been anywhere near first choice under OGS (thank Christ!) he wouldn’t have started most matches, he would have been behind Rashford and Martial and only played when Martial was out - that’s why he wanted out.
Read that guy’s last few posts in this thread, it’s obvious he is WUM/Troll, at least in this thread.
Sounds about right
The perfect description of Lukaku - "a big baby".
But he is a grown ass man!
Removing penalties from his stats is daft on a United forum. We don’t have anyone to take them.
We are amazing at getting pens. I think we have 6 already this season in the league and we have got 2 in the cups too. Last season we had 12 which was the highest in the league too.
Sadly we are not that great at scoring them. Lukaku never got the chance for us though.
Steve Walsh's last job was with Everton. Apparently, he recommended Harry Maguire, Andrew Robertson (combined 20m), Jonny Evans and Haarland (4m), Everton rejected all.
Lukaku definitely missed one for us.
Then never took another I think. He also has the distinction of being one of the very very few players to have a penalty saved by De Gea.
The bit in there about going for Trippier over AWB is asinine. I also hate these type of articles, because it's BS unless he also tells you about his recommendation of players they did or didn't sign that ended up being horrible.
Not listening to a man who spent £28M on Yannick Bolasie
Also missed one for Chelsea in the European Super Cup penalty shoot out to win Bayern the game
Ole is living rent free in his head.
I thought he chose to leave but now he knew his time was over .
I remember an article stating that Rashford was number one for the striker position and not Lukaku. Maybe there was some truth to it.
2 assists and a goal tonight. Been really good.
Lovely cross that.
Part of the job of managing is getting the best out of players.
Reached his 250 goals tonight with clubs and country in 513 games, 198 goals with clubs and 52 with national team.
Nice for him that he is doing well at Inter but im still very happy that he isnt a Manchester United player anymore.
