Lukaku - Love affair over ?

[Parker]

What goals tho? Thats the problem, he dosent score anywhere near enough from great positions, what United need is a £80 striker, but they have Lukaku

Come on mate, he guarantees you over 20 a season easily. (27 last year if I'm not mistaken).

Yeah sound, I’d rather have DCL tripping himself up one on one with the keeper and Tosun spurning 4 chances in one game over our record PL scorer any day.

How dare players want to better themselves and leave our mighty club.

Very few have ever actually bettered themselves, Rooney did, Lescott, some made far more money, but many lost their international positions and some their form, Fox in the box anyone......

When needed tho? thats the problem, 4th goal in a 4 1 win means nothing as far as points go, just make his stats look good

Personally I think he was great for Evertons level, and it sucked badly we blew the fee we got, but he though he was Uniteds level, and judging by his recent comments still does

Haha decent post, don't mind any player leaving our club to better themselves either, as long as we get a decent fee for them as with Lukaku.

Its weird isnt it? Even going back years, few do. Linekar, but 1 season hardly qualifies an Everton player really. Did Bally rip it up at Arsenal? Cant even remember if he was there for their 71(?) double.

I guess the lads who headed to Scotland after the European ban won stuff, but leaving the English Champions for Rangers isnt really an upgrade, even back then.

Maybe Ross will appear in the "Yes" column after a few seasons, but who knows.

Anyrate, crossword.

I get your argument about he scores the 4th when already ahead etc as thats what he does alot but he also scores when games are level or when they are behind but you choose to ignore them.

Also you should use that theory for every player then and not just Lukaku, take our game against Fulham we should say Sigurdssons 2nd goal and Tosuns goal are pointless because we were already 1-0 up

The funny thing is there are some who still refused to acceot he had a horrible attitude,

'To be honest...I don’t really give a f*** about what people say,' he wrote. 'People will talk s*** regardless of what you’re trying to achieve in life.'

Idiot,needs to be dropped from the United side, his shocking touch wont save Jose his job

As long as he was banging them in I didn't care about his attitude mate. The same with any player, they do the bizz on the pitch they can be the biggest tits ever.

 

[Frang]

I think united were hoping for 40 a season out of him, make them next level, up there with city...

never going to happen with him, its all about him.

surprised Mourinho went back for him, after seeing it in him first time round at chelsea

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

193 prem games, 88 goals, and he's still only 25, not a record to be sniffed at.

86 of them when the team were already cruising 3 nil.

but ok

Yeah but Sigurdssons and Tosun dont have inflated self importance, and certainly dont run to the press every time they are on international duty

What Lukaku did do, and this is something we missed when he went, was he gave the opponents something to think about, cant imagine a team preparing for a match against Everton with one eye on what DCL and Tosun mighy do, thats something we did miss when he went

I agree on this mate but he thinks he is more important then he actually is, Cantona had attutide but he also delivered, i really cant recall the last player who felt the need to come out with comments like the ones he has made over the last week

esp in a run of bad games... its as if hes saying it isn't down to MY form its those around me. it wont rub with mourinho

Maybe what the prem should do is, if a team wins 2 or 3 nil, or more, then only the first goal counts, and the others get scrubbed off.

By the way, goal difference can count come the end of the season.
