What the feck is happening?
Romelu Lukaku | United confirm deal subject to medical and personal terms
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date

waiting for the next twist in the tale
Find it strange that a player who was let go by Jose and not trusted at that point to be a starter would want to make the biggest move of his career back under the same manager. Perhaps water under the bridge but strange...

Think this is the first proper signing since RVP
(if it happens)

We're getting a donkey and paying lots of money for the privilege
WTF?!
What makes this even better is, Pogba and Lukaku are very close friends. They holiday together etc.
They will have an understanding and know how to get the best out of one another. So not only 30+ goals but a lot of assists for Pogboooooom too

Tbf just because we have agreed a deal with Everton doesn't mean that Chelsea can't/haven't also. They might match the fee and let the player choose.
Some guys asking what's the difference between Fellaini and Lukaku? Bloody hell
Meh, can't get excited till its confirmed by @Acquire Me , still waiting for the Morata deal which he said has been done for years
Everton sending us a signal to get a move on and send us a payment?
Pogba?
Obviously you aren't serious, but Lukaku scored a lot of goals last season. I'm seriously not than keen on him either, but we need a striker and looks like we're signing one so I'm pretty happy.
Me neither, whether Morata or someone else.
Only Jim White is saying that and he said it on TalkSport
Jim White who said we were signing that Roma defender a few years back
Bummer, we all know what that feels like. Seems ok now though.
Lukaku is an excellent option for us given the current market for the Premiership tho. I'd prefer someone more rounded (like Morata) but that doesn't mean he's average. Far from it - he'd guarantee us goals and is more clinical than Morata for example.
With that being said we need a proper creative force on the wings so hopefully we'll sign a quality winger/wide forward to give him the service.
Strange how all the main media sources saying deal agreed inc BBC....then suddenly it's bullshit o.o
Feck this summer.

One is quick and scored a lot of goal....the other isnt
Griezmann would be a good call or someone like him. Doubt it will be another Forward
Delighted that journalists are so adamant on either side of this story. Someone's credibility (rather than a newspaper as a whole) is going to be in tatters either way. Lovely stuff.
jim white is very friendly with farhad moshiri though, aswell. Everton's majority owner.
Quite a smart system actually, it had a pop up saying that pre-existing members can login but they kicked out to nosey outsiders to prioritise bandwidth. Have never seen that before on a forum
My point at least, is not saying we should use Fellaini up top, but what is the difference with him being up top or Lukaku. Both of them are lump it to them guys. It's a limited style of play, one dimensional, and boring (for me personally). I want us to have players with better technique, not only for entertainment, but also because in Europe you really need players like that.
Should be a good signing. Strong, good hold up play and a out and out striker. None of this dropping deep crap! That said i hope the £75m is including addons.
We still need another striker. Hope the news of us ending our interest in Morata is a front

I edited my post as I realised it came out wrong.
Would be a great signing for you - although does this mean the Morata deal has hit the skids?
BBC never says anything unless it's over, though. Calm down and stop hearing nothing journalists.
Think I'm hoping this one goes through.
Not the most exciting signing but a very 'proven' one. And it would be nice to have an established forward who isn't towards the end of their career, for a change.

Seems to have close links with Moshiri, the Everton owner.
He better step up in games that actually matter. Yes he scores against the lesser lights, but we now don't have Ibra to score in the big games. Morata would be perfect for that. We just have to hope he can perform for a big club, because he hasn't shown it yet. When Chelsea tried to give him a chance he failed.
They never say anything unless they are told. All they've been told is the fee is agreed. Not that the deal is complete.
Movement?
Looks like Lukaku was always the main target and Morata was more of a backup/smokescreen.
It's difficult not to feel excited about this transfer.
Money? It's football these days and we're just like any other football team, so I stopped to think about the fee.
It's amazing that he's only 24 and seems to have been around for many many years. Great transfer for us.

Would've preferred Morata tbh, but lets see what Lukaku can do for us!
Worried Chelsea might go and buy Morata now as a bit of a 'feck you' to us. Then knowing our luck he'll go on to be golden boot for the league!

Regardless of if he signs or not. People saying he's a lump either haven't watched him play or understand football.
Agreed. Finally someone will put away all those chances Pogba puts on a plate for them. It was getting tiresome seeing the likes of Miki, Ibra and Rashford wasting chance after chance after being set up by Pogba last season. There is a video around which shows he could have had around 25 assists, just insane.
If they aren't sure they won't risk their reputation. The sources that tell them are also stronger than any other sources as proven before.

Lukaku plays up front and scores 20 goal a season, Fellaini plays in midfield and his biggest attribute is fouling people
