It is real.

To be fair I think you can include Rooney in the Lukaku numbers, to the extent of £13m. Because that's what we'd have had to pay him next season. And if Everton don't sell Lukaku they wouldn't bother signing Rooney. Same story with the Lukaku sale funding Keane's transfer, netting us another £7.5m.

So Lukaku is costing us £55m plus add-ons.
 
Pogba: Is it done?
Lukaku: We start training tomorrow
Pogba: Is it done?
Lukaku: We have tomorrow team meeting
Both of them: Excitable noises and gestures
Pogba: Yes Sir

Lukaku repeat the exact same thing but slower, there is no team meeting and the start are greetings in slang.

It wouldn't surprise me if we still have to pay a large chunk of that £13m to Rooney next season.
 
Ffs, he will cost us £90m, stop the accounting involving Rooney and Keane :lol:
 
I'm really baffled at why there are so many on here (including oppo supporters) are so obsessed with the transfer fee or any transfer fees for that matter.

1/ We can fecking afford it...In fact, we can buy 3 Lukaku's if this was possible.

2/ We support the richest club in the world and they are willing to pay huge prices to get us back to where we belong. We should be happy, not whinging!

3/ Oppo supporters are jealous of this, as their own clubs are not on the same planet, let alone league, when it comes to comparing club finances, and any time we flex the old financial muscles they can't hack it!....Some say we should be embarrassed by the fee...why? It's not our money, it's the clubs. The people who should be embarrassed are the oppo supporters shouting about a transfer fee that United are paying...Proper fecking sad acts!

4/ The very same people telling us we should be embarrassed by paying this money will complain that we are too rich if we were to reclaim the title in the next two seasons.

I've been on social media all day and I have just been laughing at the hack of some people!

Everyone was obsessed with Pogba's fee last year but literally no one cares now and tbh it looks like a bit of a bargain. Likewise Martial the year before. This is just the way people are, they will stop caring after a while, especially if scores a lot of goals
 
So the deal isnt regarded as a world record fee as its £75m + £15m add ons?

Of course not. The add ons may not be realized - could be dependent on winning PL, CL etc. If they are realized then Lukaku will have done so well that the money doesn't matter.
 
Both got a yellow, actually. Happened in a Norwegian premier division match between Tromsø and Sandefjord a couple of weeks ago.
Did the other guy kick out or something after the video cuts out? Why was he booked?
 
Everyone knows the Pogba - Lukaku video is acted out, right?

They pre-decided to shoot a video of Lukaku telling Pogba that the deal was agreed so they could post it on Social Media...clearly.
 
Plus eye candy for any of the gay lads in the locker room.

Gay lads won't find Rooney in the least bit attractive.
The guy is a munter. Great footballer, but as ugly as they come. The dude doesn't even have a great body (which is something you'd expect of an elite level athlete).

Isn't there always somebody filming Pogba at all times?

Yep, it's probably marketing.
Lukaku just happens to find himself in the USA, where coincidentally Pogba is currently hanging out...where coincidentally, the rest of the team just happen to be flying to, in a few days.
I think that MUFC could've marketed the big reveal of Lukaku, better. Last year when Pogba was joining us, he made an advert for Adidas I think it was, where there was a poster of MUFC in it. This advert sent MUFC fans wild.

It's a good job Jesse Lingard has Marcus Rashford as a BFF these days as Romelu and Pogba's love in would've broken his heart...

Yeh I'm sure the good looking 24 year old, 6ft3, ripped, multi millionaire, charismatic, famous footballer struggles with chicks.
