Isn't that what we have or are getting with Welbeck?
What's the point of sending a player of his quality out on loan to get experience simply to sign another similar kid whose price is going to rise?
United to sign Lukaku??

Rather we save the money and spend it on a worldclass creative CM... we have enough strikers at the club already. We wouldn't even know if this Lukaku would settle down in English football. Meanwhile Welbeck is hitting some form and scoring goals at Sunderland.
Some of you fellas really baffle me.

Having the chance to have both doing that for you in the long term.
If we are going to go for him, we'd want to do it sooner rather than later. If he keeps progressing as he is, the likes of Madrid and Barca will surely start considering moves for him, if they haven't already
Lukaku hazard and that belgian midfielder
I'm sure a CM is still high on the list, Lukaku is just such an exceptional young talent, all the big clubs want him. Why do Madrid want him with the strikers they have already -it tells you just how highly he's rated.
Sure he'd need time to adjust to English football, but he's already playing European and international football and overpowering experienced defenders, he's made for English football.
Of course everyone wants to see homegrown talent come through, and with the young strikers we've got I don't think we'd be bothered if Lukaku was only marginally better, it's because he looks like becoming a world beater.
Defour
He is the type of player we should be looking at signing, young, powerful and player with a good attittude.

He'd be wasted here, considering the talent of Hernandez, the fact that SAF seems set on turning Macheda into a top player, and how good Welbeck has been for Sunderland.
Good move for him to stay there for at least another 6-12 months
It's probably best to steer clear, then. Unless he's as good as Dexter, the likelihood is that we'll be paying a massive sum of money for someone who will inevitably end up in prison.
maybe his sister is a blind cop aswell?
Do not want.
Enough of these promising kids now.There is too many of them already in the club, more than ever experienced players are needed

I rate him, but I think the only reason I'd want us to buy him is to stop anyone else getting him, because he's going to be a big talent. We have enough strikers.
That's very selfish of you, Solius.
Thats a Chelsea-esque mentality and ultimately a flawed one. Fergie has never operated with that mindset and it's irresponsible to do so.
Wasn't Rooney vaguely in that category?
We didn't really need him but he was too big a talent to ignore and (importantly) he was also gettable.

We signed Rooney and Ando exactly for the same reason. We didn't need them but their talent was too huge to ignore.
no not at all. A long term target if ever there was one.
He has probably got more potential than most of them though, plus he's a different type of player.
He is a fecking beast too
His finishing would look worse than Kiko's in a United shirt at this point
its so bad its good
His you-tubes are fecking annoying with the soundtracks - to say the least!
You cant go by vids of course, but when you compare Hernandez vids to his - he hasnt a patch on him!
Not that keen on hype anyway tbh. Has potential & thats the key. Although, with all the attention - his head will be fecked & turned left-right & center in due course!

I am lost for words....
madness isnt it? there was another one spouting that nonsense yesterday. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story eh!!!
What I meant was that we didn't need them at that time.
The fact was that Sir Alex himself that we only signed him in that window because Newcastle opened bidding for him, or else we would have waited another window.
Ando was also signed because of his huge potential, we didn't need him at that time because we had already signed Hargo plus there were the likes of Carrick, Fletcher and Scholesy.
He wasn't like any of those 4 you mentioned though.
So according to you Lukaku has not got huge potential? If we signed Rooney and Ando then, why can't we sign Lukaku for the same reason?
Lukaku has great potential but I suspect that he is already Chelsea bound. Not to forget that we already have enough young strikers (Chicarito, Welbeck and Macheda).
He is a huge Drogba fan and as a result a Chelsea fan. But he hasn't been linked with them a lot. Its been us and Arsenal from the PL and of course Madrid and Barca from Spain.
fwiw he went to Chelsea in my FM10 game and was fairly wank
I bought him in FM 10 as well for United and he helped me win the Champions League. He went crazy that season. He scored like 25 in 27 or something like that.
Well then, we must surely get him.
I never said we should get him. I was just responding to Sharky's comment on him in FM.
