Mostly it's because he generally has at least one player close to play off of quickly. When isolated his hold up is the same as it was in england
Romelu Lukaku | Napoli watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
whatever he does there won't change the fact that he will remain a donkey. Good riddance.
Who gives a feck when he pisses off? We got top dollar for a donkey and nearly recouped what we paid for him. The club did very well in that transaction.
I'd have rather sold him for 10 less if it meant Woodward and judge would have been able to focus on another transfer to replace him. Because it seems they can't do more than one at once.
Now we are reaping the benefits.
He had that here more often than not. It didnt stop the ball cannoning off him though.
I was for selling him for less and exploit the early days of the transfer market.
If there’s any confirmation that pundits know feck all, here’s a beauty.
Ray Parlour on Talksport:
Brazil: Utd are looking to bring Sanchez back.
Parlour: why don’t they bring Lukaku back. He’d be better.
Brazil: he’s signed.
Parlour: that’s a shame!

He gone, the money is spent, he's doing well for Inter. /thread.
Next person to bump this will curse the Bruno transfer

Not really, the idea was to sign a cheaper option early and have a competitve team with better chance of gaining prize money at the end of the season. Not simply forfeit 10m.
So the key was calling him shite all along.

He is a grown ass man.
Two more tonight, takes his tally to 20 (29 matches) in all comps.
Still glad we got rid.
Why? We barely score any goals and got almost no strikers in the squad.
He is a #9 and his job is to score goals and he is doing well at Inter.
I am just glad I do not have to watch him play.

Yes lets overrate him and completely ignore the shit he's done here in the past 2 years. If only we had Conte as our manager? Right?
Some of you really need a reality check
Some of you really need a reality checkSerie A must be wank cos he's gash.
That’s 5 of the last 6 seasons now he has scored 20+ goals.

Who’s doing that?
same.
the guy has a complete attitude problem. Don't want him at our club.
couldn't score against any half decent team in two years. 1 goal on 23 appearances against the top 6 teams in the PL.
The rest of the Utd squad have more energy now as Lukuku is no longer there to steal their food at meal times.
unfit, lazy, pathetic attitude, abysmal first touch, unfocused, will never be remembered.
Lukuwho?
Read the comments on here or the serie a thread.
If Only We Had A Manager Like Conte...
That's right and our current clinical strikers/wingers are firing us into the top 4!
if Lukuwho was still here he would be sulking on the bench eating a Greggs. Did well to get rid of him.
Watched the match yesterday. He's still the same player. Heavy touches and clumsy. Difference is, that he know plays in a team with much more players around him who know how to use him. Secondly, he plays in a league with more open spaces for him and more time on the ball.
Yes, he will score a ton of goals in Italy, but it was the right call to let him go.

A good striker in the right team. Needs proper wingers delivering crosses though or he will not show his best. Poor first touch but will get a sackful of goals.
We did the right thing selling though. Didnt fit our team or the way Ole wanted to play.
Didnt like the way he pushed his way out but then he was dumped big time when Ole came in. He was going to be a permanent bench warmer.
Wish him well with no regrets on selling really.

Shhhh, he's a 'walking attitude' problem, that's the narrative - don't rock the boat!
Feel like some hate the idea he's doing well away from us. They' were probably predicting him to fail miserably there so they can enjoy slaughtering him.
I myself didn't like him much during last season and criticized him a lot but the hate in this thread after he had already left is just weird and out of place for me.
Inter got their new Adriano. The CL ain't ready.
We badly miss him. I do not have an idea what people here expect or wants.
Is Ighalo our saviour now. Do people expect him to score more or what?
If we could get Kane/ Lewandowski or even Haaland it would make sense to sell Lukaku, but we got Ighalo.
Yeah we got some cash back, but we are not spending enough anyway. I guess the fans are happier now with the Glaziers spending so little
and reducing the squad size.

Because he does not want to play for Manchester United.
You guys seriously think we miss him? Did you even watch us last season? Did you catch his comments about wanting out after his second game? I mean, he’s obviously not as shit as he was for us last year, but that coupled with the fact he couldn’t handle the pressure here is a good indication he wouldn’t have done the same here.
Also, take a look at some of the vids @GifLord has posted, he’s still a bad footballer, just happens to be a good goalscorer. We can’t afford passangers like that in our team, as Martial is starting to show (very good footballer, not as good a goalscorer). We should try for a striker who is both, not this gigantic crybaby.

Nor does Pogba but we kept him.
I don't miss Lukaku at all. He was always a very good goalscorer though and you knew he'd do well at Inter. It was the right move to move him on but the wrong move not to identify a replacement or a reserve striker (because that would just block Mason's path to the first team said Ole
)Shades of Heskey in Africa 2010.

Yeah Pogba's still here because nobody wants to pay the right price for him. Had we got a >£100 million offer last summer he would have been gone I'm sure. That will probably still be the case this summer.
Lukaku is Lukaku. He will always score plenty goals against the cannon fodder of the league (he did that perfectly well for us), but isn't the man to give you that extra edge against the best teams in Europe.
I thought it has been said many times that OGS prefer other options in the front so it is the best for both parties for him to leave.
