For people who talk about scoring in Big games.
I have been away and so havent been posting, but all I have to say is
please god no.
Lukaku isnt a bad player or a terrible person,but really not what I would like at united

So, sounds like we got pissed off waiting for Madrid. At the same time (purely coincidentally) we put in a bid for lukaku and have it (supposedly) accepted.
So, if lukaku is first choice (which i think he was) why didnt we put this bid in before?
It's because lukaku had chosen Chelsea. Thats fine, makes sense. So what changed? Lukaku doesnt care if this drags on but i bet Riola does. How much you want to bet this was Riola telling utd to bid as chelsea were stalling, but actually wanting Chelsea to get their finger out.
So what will now happen is Chelsea will bid the same, lukaku will agree to go Chelsea. And when we go skulking back to madrid they'll laugh at us and demand 75m.
This could end awfully

Need your opinion, this one confuses me.
I'm thinking in great shape but possibly intolerant to gluten.

Yeah it's being reported erroneously that he was due back yesterday. The reality is he's still in LA with the clubs permission because he played in the international fixtures.But it's being reported that koeman expected lukaku back by now and they are now training at UCLA, not so much "holidaying"

Just seen the pics on BBC of Pogba and Lukaku training together in LA. Any other reason (commercial etc.) that they would be training together? Or can the ***-fest begin?
They're good mates, they did the exact same thing a couple Summers ago with Depay.
Excellent comment. I was a big fan of Berba, and his own - very effective - snake in the grass style.After all the flak Rooney got for his latter career poor close ball control, I fear some posters are going to get sore fingers complaining about Lukaku's! He seems very inelegant and frankly abit rudimentary in ball skills etc.
As the Everton season ticket holder from reddit said, it seems Lukaku is crap at everything except finishing and scoring goals. Which is perfect as that's exactly what we need, but I hope we all realise that before we get on his back for it
We made the same mistake with Berbatov, criticising him for not running around like a Tevez type headless chicken, and the poor man got a complex about it, trying to become something he was not. I think it negatively impacted his game. Lets not make the same mistake with Lukaku
Yeah as soon as I saw the reason I was kicking myself for asking such a stupid question tbh, pretty obvious in retrospect.
Mirallas, Williams, Gueye and himself are all still on extended holidays. He's in LA with Everton's permission.Except that rest of Everton reported back for training yesterday and he's still there with Pogba. This is done.

Neil Henderson of the BBC reporting that the Lukaku deal is a £100m in total. £75m + £15m in variables plus waiving Wayne Rooney's £10m asking price.
It is why the deal happened so quickly.
Won't pay more than £66m for Morata but £100m for Lukaku. ********ing stupid.
In what world is Lukaku worth €114m
I think they did it because Perez was being an absolute twat and kept changing his mind. Can't stand around waiting for you guys to decide if you want to keep a player or not.Neil Henderson of the BBC reporting that the Lukaku deal is a £100m in total. £75m + £15m in variables plus waiving Wayne Rooney's £10m asking price.

I dont think Ive ever heard a footballers first touch get discussed so much.
Who cares about his first touch when he is banging in 20-25 goals a season? He is a lump of a player who I am sure Mourinho is more focused on the number of goals he scores than the number of times he controls the ball instantly.
If he fecks up his first touch and puts it in with his second, that will do for me.
The Griezmann thread is locked and there is no thread (as far as I could see) about Costa. Nowhere else to ask and wasnt worth starting a thread about it.I agree with your reasoning a ban should be a ban. In my eyes they shouldn't be allowed to sign anyone till there ban is up, sort of defeats the object if you ask me.
I was just surprised how many times atletico's transfer ban came up in a thread about us signing Lukaku
Yeah, that's bull. He's there with their permission.

Not disputing but how can you say that very confidently?Yeah, that's bull. He's there with their permission.
He is a Madrid fan, you know how they are.You're jumping to massive conclusions. Why not wait until the deal and price is confirmed before ranting on about it.

Spanish media were pretty consistant that we were always asking for €90m just that Man Utd refused to meet it.I think they did it because Perez was being an absolute twat and kept changing his mind. Can't stand around waiting for you guys to decide if you want to keep a player or not.
If we had to overpay a little to get a target who cares.
I've spent a silly amount of time on Grand Old Team yesterday Paul Joyce, who's very close to the Liverpool clubs confirmed he's there with the clubs consent. Could very well be that the club consented to him staying because our pre season is there.Not disputing but how can you say that very confidently?
Pogba and Lukaku training at UCLA!!

Perez never changed his mind once. But enjoy Benteke 2.0. Lol

He hasn't reported that, he just does the backpages on twitter. That figure has come from the Everton side, funny that. They also said yesterday that no deal was done with the suggestion that Chelsea were still in with a chance yet Lukaku hasn't turned up for their preseason, instead he has been hanging out in LA with Pogba and apparently has done just done a medical.Neil Henderson of the BBC reporting that the Lukaku deal is a £100m in total. £75m + £15m in variables plus waiving Wayne Rooney's £10m asking price.
