Yeah, I agree with all of that.

He actually could the rate hes going
Lukaku is going to be very good for United. He's 24 and a proven EPL scorer and scoring's what was missing last season at MU. Plus, with much better players and better service he may become even more effective in front of goal. All in all, great signing.
I think ibra's lack of pace and the impact Lukaku's extra pace will have is overstated. As you said, in most games, we'll be playing vs teams camped in their box and then it becomes more about a good touch, technique, link up play, movement etc rather than outright pace.
Maybe because it's a French club, based in Paris, have the money and are always looking to sign top French talent which Martial most certainly is.
If we get another LW than Martial will be even further down the pecking order for both LW and CF spot, 3RD choice for both and I'm not sure he'd want to stick around knowing he won't get to play much.
You're way too hostile about this. If we get another LW I can see that happening and I've explained it to you why I think so.
I prefer Lukaku to Morata. With Zlatan gone, we lost our bully upfront, the confidence and attitude Lukaku has, he'll make it less pleasant to play against us, more than having Morata, Mata and Rashford running the attack anyway, we need at least one cnut upfront.
Strange mind set.Personally, I'm disappointed by this transfer but I'm going to refrain from expressing my disappointment as the signing is already confirmed and as a fan of the club, I will always get behind every Man Utd player no matte how much I dislike him. I'm happy to eat my words back and would love Lukaku to prove me wrong. I still have doubts about his ability but I guess he's the "best" available striker in the market. Apparantely Chelsea has also matched our offer, if so, why did he not choose to go Chelsea? Isn't he a boyhood Chelsea fan? Deep down inside, I was silently hoping Chelsea would steal him from under our nose, as they had a habit of doing so in the past.
Who exactly did you want as our striker if you had a choice?
One of our best signings for years to come
Arsenal have been playing 'good' football for years, how's that panned out for them?
Not everybody wanted us to sign Lukaku and preferred a different kind of striker but that doesn't mean he's shit, he's just not what you look for in a striker, unfortunately Mourinho see it differently.
Regarding Lukaku's style, I personally have only really watched him in the big games. He wasn't the easiest on the eye in those games, but Jose's big game tactics are very specific. As long as he carries out his task and takes the big chances that come his way in the big games, I think he'll be the perfect striker for Jose.
He is a Mourinho type striker.....and his others haven't done badly for him in the past at all. I'm happy. The fact Chelsea were supposedly in for him to means he's a player that commands some genuine belief in his ability and value to a team.
We have had a world renowned striker last season yet we playing dogshiit football for the great majority of the season.
I think you're a troll mate and a bad one at it.
This and the video of him with Carragher, have sold me on to him in the last few days.
I think he will be fantastic.
I wanted big Rom from the beginning. Then all the reports came he had his mind set on Chelsea and we're in for Morata. Felt a bit disappointed as I'm convinced his finishing, pace and strength put in a better team than Everton, with more creative players will excel.
Now I am happy. Can't really get so excited as there's split opinion on the cafe and there was barely any build up to the transfer. But in general I feel satisfied. And if true that we did have bids for Morata, which Madrid rejected and if Chelsea were really in for him - makes it a touch sweeter. And getting rid of Rooney being our bargaining chip - take a bow Mr. Woodward.
I think the massive add on fee could be result of us taking care of some of Wayne's wages.
Lukaku and Pogba will team up really well.
So far 2 young players, who are good and will improve in the near future.
I want another muppetastic signing for our wings. Keep up the momentum Ed.

Not a chance mate will never be close to Messi in numbers or talent, debatable whether he will reach Rooney's numbers at the moment but that is far more realistic
Not me, I don't care what a single player's goal tally is. The game has moved on too. 25 goals from your no. 9 won't be enough if other players aren't hitting double digits.
Just corrected that last bit of your post
Does Pogba have any other great footballing mates who would be interested in a move?
True story bro
And get minutes as well! Amen!
I meant unfortunate for him but yes I approve of your edit.
Think Rom and him are probably going to invite their mate Antoine on holiday with them next summer
Arrested
Get Kante to switch to OT?
Arrested
fecking hilarious that this happened last week, yet the second he signs for United it becomes headline news.
Just back to home to see this.
Congratulations. LukakON.
Congratulations. LukakON.
He was arrested on July 2nd so long before this news broke so well not our player
He isn't shit though. You can have doubts but calling him shit isn't exactly the best way to convince people that you have a point.

You don't care what a single player's goal tally is, but other players' goal tally needs to be in double digits?
u k hun? xx
Check the numbers, Zlatan had something like 130 shots. Rashford, martial, Miki had between 30-40 each. Zlatan slowed up play, didn't stretch teams to create space and often stifled our play.
The man scored goals but he had a bad affect on the rest of the teams output.
Andy Cole had zero overall game when he came here... He was just finishing, and he improved his overall ability no end.
RVN was a pure finisher, didn't did him any harm.
Yes ideally you want an all singing all dancing forward, but it's not essential and as Lukaku is still young, he can definitely improve.

Don't twist my words or don't mention me.
That's because no one cares about news regarding Everton player's except Everton fans. The whole world seems to care about any news regarding United though, especially if it's negative.fecking hilarious that this happened last week, yet the second he signs for United it becomes headline news.
Strong, quick, good in the air and lethal in front of goal, the typically perfect prem striker. I struggle to think of a player more fitting to a Jose system than RedRom. He'll be a massive success for us.
He has a heavy first touch? So did Rooney but that didn't stop him becoming United's greatest goal scorer of all time.
