    I'm not getting the hate for Lukaku, ? are you guys smoking on lol.

    Regardless of where he ends up club wise, He'll have a 100 goals before he hits 25 in the prem and if he doesn't move abroad he'll end up in the top 10 eventually, i'd put my mortgage down on that to happen i'm so confident.the guy isn't world class yet, but he will be.







    His first touch is awful he disappears in big games his attitude is disrespectful.

    To sum lukaku up remember the fa cup semi against man u where he had at least 7 chances and a pen and he managed to mess them all up

    No lies told and sums up everything wrong/negative with Lukaku in 3 simple points.

    1) Big man playing in a team that counter-attacks and doesn't know how to hold up play with a decent first touch and link up with box-to-box midfielders.

    2) Scored a lot of goals last season, but how many were in pivotal moments for his team (i.e. to take the lead or equalize) or against the top 6?

    3) Attitude being disrespectful is summed up here:

    You can argue with the captain all day, but don't ever try and tell them "sshh".

    Have you ever seen a teammate ever do that to Roy Keane or Patrick Vieira, John Terry, Vincent Kompany, or any notable captains because I haven't

    I dont want another Belgium sad to say they all seem to live "maybe I leave, maybe I stay" just be quiet. Hazard had to break his ankle for him and the rumors of leaving die down. He kept saying yes,no, yes, no.

    Sad to say with all that said if not Lukaku then who? @blue_london @toheeb27

    I got tired of all of the disrespect. It's like he never heard of the words "no comment". And he never scores against the big teams or when he does, the game is either already over or the game has been in the bag. I would have loved it if he would had stayed but just get as much we can get for him.

    @yung$ If we can get Aubameyang for a reasonable price (like cheaper than Lacazette), then he can be a solid bridge to Tammy Abraham (who should be ready in 2-3 years to be the main guy).

    Cheaper than Lacazette? I can't even explain how heated I would be.

    If we do sign Lukaku, Jose and the bigger name players wont shouldnt let him show ANY signs of decent, atleast on the pitch... He wont be a big name in a small pond, no disrespect to Everton (i think they will push for top 4 next season)... I think his hold up play is decent, my point has been we dont want to hold up play, I think he is better running ONTO to through ? , and that suits Pogba better too as I think the problem last year is that he had to play the ball to Zlatan whilst Zlatan had to his back to goal, where Pogba would of been better suited pinging pass for him to chase down, obviously Zlatan is too old to chase them down though... Hopefully we will be playing positive passes for Lukaku to run onto, and he wont have to hold play up...

    Were all laughing at who gets Lukaku but Man U actually done some great business...Lu been in the game so long I forgot he's only 24...was always outspoken for moving to a big club n ? , now it's his time to show up - basically on the lvl/to the audience he always had the ambition to do - he's gonna ball with his friend da Pog, superb manager...

    Man U might actually compete again...don't know if they already copped a new defender...

    I've been conflicted with Man U, wanted them to fail but then they hired Van Gaal and now Jose, two coaches I root for lol.
