I doubt that went down well with their fans.

Are you sure it's fat and not muscle? He doesn't look like Ashley Williams or Jags with their mantits, he looks like he's hulked out.
It's funny, he used to be quite skinny when he signed for us. Omar Momani, this Arab cartoonist I follow, drew him as a skinny little thing when he played for us, whereas now he draws Lukaku as a giant beefcake.
If Barkley doesn't score against us when we play Chelsea, I'll eat an item of clothing.
He looks like Barkley in Martinez's last season, he needs to slim down again to get back what little agility he had back.

Remind me again, what did Fat Barkley look like?
He wasn't fat, he just packed on too much muscle than was necessary for a footballer.

Zinidine Pirlo Xavi Lukaku to give him his full name. You can see why he got it with that close control, how he executed the turn before the touchline nearly whipped in to snatch it away, then unleashed the million dollar long pass. Take a bow son, take a bow.

This is true, Ross looked like he had two arses in his shorts in Martinez's last season. Couldn't move around the pitch.

He's not fat but he is far too bulky for an elite footballer. He looks like a heavyweight boxer! After 60 minutes of moving and running (even Rom style like jogging) those muscles will feel like lead weights. He’s constantly compared to Drogba who was a beast but the man was lean and cut. Rom looks puffy.

It’s a consequence of this delusion managers have that because he looks like Drogba he must be played in the same way. It’s almost nailed on that Mou or someone near him has told him to bulk up in order to improve his hold-up play.
It’s sad because if he only instead was a light skinned French bloke with short hair and a personable manner managers would probably use him in a way more in tune with what his actual talents are.
Probably the fairest comment as well as being our best striker since the days of Lineker and Sharp.

Any one else enjoying the grief he is getting from all the United fan?
Nope. It's not his fault people think he's an amazing striker and then end up disappointed. He was a weird buy for Man United, and a startling indictment of how bad their transfer strategy has become since the days of Ferguson and Gill
I am. He constantly made references whilst with us about how he NEEDED to be playing in the Champions League and how he NEEDED to be in amongst the world's best yet has been found to be nowhere near that level. He's not addressed the glaring parts of his game that he's needed to because he probably doesn't think he needs to and this is the result.
Oh it's mostly muscle all right. But he's just far too big and lost his speed. You can't be your athletic best at that weight. It's not NFL.
