For me yes, for others like you the answer is no. I don't think that we are in a rush but that's only me.
We can't keep saying "overpriced" on almost every player we are linked to no. The truth is this is the current prices for all players and if Lacazette is worth 50m then sure Lukaku is worth 75m anyway. Deal with the current prices and stop moaning about it in every transfer thread.
And they didn't improve, so no difference.
Well that's a different point altogether. Fair enough if you don't think he's worth it. The club, on the other hand, will only pay what they think he's worth, so future deals should be okay. If clubs try to rip us off, we won't pay it if we don't choose to.
This, the price whining is almost as tiresome as the "omgz, lets just buy Dembele, Dybala and Mbappe for an additional 50 millz" brigade.
They certainly have the talent.
Atleast we know a valid reason for us to why not.
We can afford it so why do we care? We don't win points by being more thrifty that City or Chelsea.
What's with all the price is too much talk? The only people who should worry about that are Woody and the Glazer family. If they are happy with the price why should we be worried?
Yeah, but I'm not the club, if I was the club I wouldn't be on this forum and I wouldn't question a decision made by the club. Also, I'm not against Lukaku or its transfer, I just ask myself if he is worth it, if we are not going to find ourselves looking for a new striker in a year or two.
People are forgetting Madridwere demanding 90 m euros for morata.
What more options did We have apart from paying more for Morata and Belotti? Also we get to offload rooney and his massive 30 m wages.
The more I think about this one the happier I am.
We needed someone clinical and we've got him. He's young, settled in the country and has a great premiership goal scoring record in an inferior side.
There really isn't much to overthink about it.
He's also already got friends in the team and the thought of Pogba teeing up his mate must surely have people drooling.

Then you're either deluded or stubborn.
We missed out on finishing top 4 because of a lack of goals against small teams, lukaku has a good record there. We have lost our main source of goals and you want to start a new season with rashford and martial, unless you want united to fail I don't see how you could even consider that, even tho spending 75mil could see you challenge for the title where as not could see you missing CL qualification which in it's self is worth more than 75mil you're refusing to pay because of some misguided principle.
I'll leave with this, rashford last year 12 goals martial 9 goals
Lukaku 39! Almost double what our two strikers scored together! For Everton!
But you see my Pogs over there with the pouch?
Dare one of you defenders try get loud.
All of my mandem try to foul,
I might become manc but i aint sold out,
Nowadays all of my highlights get bare views,
When i score a hattrick, its in the news
When we roll in, they roll out
I hate London, Feck the south
Balls in the ends like there ain't no drought
Conte don't talk like he's got no mouth
I wanna make my mum so proud
Like "yo Mum, rooneys left, go now"

Send them Rooney for 40 mill. To alleviate the cost lol
This can’t be a real post. I’ve followed him for years on Twitter, he’s very open about the fact he has nothing to do with the club and very little inside knowledgeable outside of medicals and camping out to spot new arrivals at carrington. If you want to believe a Reddit tier list over the man himself be my guest.
Of the strikers available to us, Belotti, Morata at a certain price and presumably Lukaku at 75m, he's got the most consistent record of goal scoring and he knows the league inside out.
All would have commanded similar fees. And I think in the grand scheme of things, he might not be the best footballer but he's certainly the most productive of the three?
Yeah there might be an equivalent option sat in Timbuktu for £7m, but shit happens. If it helps get Rooney out, it's also a bonus.

75.6% of the caf happy. Good to see.
Only 7.4% unhappy, but i guess we could have signed Messi and there would still be 1 or 2% unhappy.

Get out >
So would i.
Don't purchase a striker, purchase a cheaper striker that can do a job but have low upsides(Bacca, Dzeko and a few others), target the really big fish for a lot more money or take a risk with Lukaku and Morata for big fees. That's pretty much all the options.
"Messi is 29, he's too old and will only give us 2 years, also he's overpriced, don't want, I'll prefer to stick with Martial instead"
Lukaku needs the system to play to his strength but he is so different from our other CF options in Rashford and Martial, that when he is absent it would likely be difficult to make the attack effective.
Let's get a 30 year old Cavani, despite his bad misses instead of a 24 year old Lukaku with his 20 useless goals and poor first touch
, got it. I certainly won't be be pretending 20 goals is brilliant, it is brilliant. We need a striker to put balls in the net, I'm sure if we need a player to ' facilitate space for his teammate and himself as well as short exchange in tight space, which is exactly the sort of player the more technically sound players like Mata, Herrera, Micky can thrive alongside in our team' or whatever the feck that means, we'll still find someone better than Cavani. The Lukaku first touch thing which you are really exaggerating about is something that can be improved on. Rooney's first touch left like 3 years ago but he kept being played, without the 20 goals you hate so much.I'm getting more excited about the prospect of Lukaku joining. But we really need to get him some outside help. Martial is a striker, not a winger and shouldn't be played out there; need an improvement.
I also don't want to see Rashford played a ton on the outside it doesn't suit him either. There should be enough games to continue both development at their natural striker position and they are all 3 a little bit different in style.

I've given up debating with posters who call me childish soulless or what ever.
Only as well as james rodriguez
Relax, we just have different timelines in mind. Since you seemingly believe that next season is absolutely crucial, your standpoint make sense but I don't see it that way.
It's caf, there would be more than 1 or 2 percent unhappy. "Close to 1m a week, 30 years old, no motivation, doesn't help in defense etc etc".
How good is he with his chest and as a target man? Is it possible once we get him we don't need Fellaini as first choice?
I'm not touching the poll until it is either confirmed or debased.
Can he track back and help out the defense 
Not against this signing but the main concern is that he feels like a second choice behind Morata and we will have to pay near a club record to sign him. I think he has plenty of upside seen as he is still you and has PL experience and a good goalscoring record.
I think Mourinho hopes to mold him into a Drogba type strong striker with a lot of goals for the team. If we create as many chances as last season you'd imagine he will score a decent number for us, in the league at least

tell my man shut up
So at world cup level then? Not too shabby.
Very nice although would like a wide man like Dembele that could cut teams open at will by going bye a man. That's what we lacked last season imo.
