No #LuBACKu for Chelsea then?
Am I missing something? Some reports saying fee agreed, others from supposed Everton senior sources saying we've not. Nothing official from United. And yet this thread reads like the deal is done.
Also there isn't the kudos in beating Everton, so there is more space. He will have to really fight for his goals for United when teams just shut up shop.
wow if Zlatan didn't miss the end of the season he would have had a great chance to finish top there.
FINALLY! it's about time we get our own unplayable beast at its prime. I'm delighted!
RAWK will say Carra let him have his pants down and there is no way that would happen if Carra didn't let it happen. La.

Wait Madrid wanted 79 million for Morata?! One million pound less than they bought Ronnie for? Out of principle alone I would've told them to feck off.
I personally prefer Lukaku to Morata. With Morata it was more of a mehh, solid signing whereas with Lukaku who's a proven PL beast, it' a wow, great signing.

He is such a beast, cant wait
The one thing United lacked last season even with Ibra was buring chances, we created quite a few only to see them wasted Lukaku fixes that issue he is as the post says 'Clinical' then we have Rashford and Martial who offer something completely different up front. Dont worry lads we can give the service to Lukaku in the big games, the kind Everton couldn't and if Mourinho rates him, there's a reason for that.
Also if Ibra is going to LA Galaxy he may be loaned to us in January for the final stretch until the MLS season begins, who knows.
Apart from the tonnes of people posting comments like yours
Totally agree with the Toffee's summing up of Lukaku on Reddit there.
Excellent post.
Excellent post.
that's, not a fecking M feck its an "A" ! hes only gone and Joined the Arsenal dream team with whats his face
I think the safer thing to say is "similarly gifted" and not more gifted
One plays for the back to back European Champions in a two team league and the other plays for Everton.
At the start of the summer I thought, Lukaku, no, too much money, too little impact in the big games.
Sort of massively ignoring his excellent goalscoring record.
But then as it looked like it was definitely going the Morata way, i was getting less and less sure he'd be the type of player who could instantly adjust to a new league, and play many more starting games than he's been used to.
From yesterday's initial noises about Lukaku, i then completely started thinking this sounds a lot more logical, and then when it's gone through (we think!) it's a really good move

Isco is a consistent starter for Real and was one of their best players in the 2nd half of last season. That is a terrible comparison. I also agree with Rozay, the importance of a player to that team should always factor into determining the fee.
The top 5 have the best defences, of course less goals will be scored against them.
You do realise that Everton had an extra 2 games against the top 6 teams than all those other teams right? That's just qualifying the tweet not badmouthing Lukaku.
Morats gone missing,
Conte's having a fit in the kitchen,
Romelus joining united got Perz hissing
Might have to do with top teams being better organised and generally better than small or average sides.
Is there another?
Without wanting to start an economics lesson, this is simple basics of a market.
Due to a number of factors, Diego Costa isn't likely to be the most expensive striker moving on the market this summer. It is far from as simple as his talent.
And yes, I'd expect an Isco that Real have decided they want to sell to cost less than a Ross Barkley that Everton don't. Have you heard the prices quoted for Naby Keita? Do you think it's simply because he's in the top few midfielders in the world?
Isnt this how some describe ronaldo?
Isco is not and has never been. He only got his run of games as a starter cos of the injury to Bale. Whenver Bale was fit, he was relegated to the bench
All of a sudden, Perisic makes a lot of sense. But neither Martial nor Rashford do.
Relative to Messi, not relative to the average top flight professional.
The selling club is free to demand any fee they can dream of, but the buyer would be quite stupid to use that to determine what they should pay.
Its like saying your are willing to pay more for a Toyota than for a Bentley simply cos the owner of the Toyata is reluctant to sell.
Only just realised Lukaku is homegrown. That bodes well for us in the long run.
Bale could have started the CL final and didn't. Ronaldo plays better with Isco and Isco suits Zidane's system far better. If Bale starts more games than Isco next season you can revisit this point.
If we include Everton too, it would read :
Ibrahimovic 4, Lukaku 3, Kane 3, Sanchez 3, Costa 3
Guess it still shows he shows up against the best in the league with goals as much as the other top strikers
I don't really want to read 30 pages to see if it was said but didn't Lukaku say he already knew where he'd be playing football next season? Think it was about a month ago.
While playing for a significantly worse team.
Issue is, they were there last year and didnt prove to be the answer. We can't afford to sit around and wait.
Can you please stop with this nonsense? It's like every player can do one thing and on thing only. If Rashford can play with Fellaini as the furthest man forward, he can make do with Lukaku.

Nope, it isn't like that at all.
This is why I said 'a number of factors' go into this stuff. I obviously need to elaborate, but one of the key factors that has gone into determining Lukaku's price, in addition to just Everton's reluctance to sell, is the fact that he's a proven consistent goalscorer. Which is far from the equivalent to a Toyota. The fact that he scores 20+ goals a season is a factor in determining his market value. The fact that he's just 23 is another factor.
Isco' value, in any reasonable market, is immediately diminished by the fact Real want rid of him. There are even two different prices for a Bentley that a man is keen to sell and one that he isn't, to use your own analogy.
Anthony Martial is a young player with huge potential. I can only imagine the difference between whatever price we would have quoted a buyer after his first season, and one we would quote now if we started putting feelers out into the market that he was available because Jose has decided to get rid.
Out of curiosity, every single factor considered, how much do you think Everton should ask any prospective buyer for their star striker? £30m £40m. In the interest of being 'fair' to the buyer.
