Lukaku. Yes or no

What's all this about the competition being garbage because Ibrahimovic is scoring goals? Like Suarez, Messi and Benzema in Spain, Vardy and Aguero here, Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic in Italy, Lewandowski in Germany, and so on. So many of the best strikers in the world at the moment are well into their 30s. The "past it" of yesteryear isn't the past it of today.

Yeah but Lewandowski is 78 mate.

I don't though; I think he's doing very well for his level. Right at the limits of what he can do.

My point regarding him is how he's a liability to the team, particularly in continental competition outside the farmer league he's in, or any cup competition really.

Hence why they're out of their domestic cup and embarrassed themselves in the Champions League.

hello buddy do u still stand behind this?? https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/lukaku-love-affair-over.105110/post-6593955

Honestly yeah, I think he is. But he couldn't do it in this league, was lacking in every area. The only two areas Lukaku excelled in is pure power and finishing ability.

The idea of Tosun was right - the reality wasn't. Tosun in Italy would do fine.

Sorry, in 2021 you still stand by the idea that Tosun is a better footballer than Lukaku?

Absolutely. He's just not a better goalscorer, and he wasn't good enough for this league.

There's nothing Lukaku does that suggests he's a better actual footballer than Tosun. Or as also alluded to in that post, Callum Wilson - again, a far superior footballer. As is Calvert-Lewin to an almost ridiculous degree these days - the idea of DCL is what we tried with Tosun but it didn't work; DCL progressed into that player instead. Even Bamford at Leeds is a far better footballer than Lukaku.

Well, you're using Lukaku 2021 in a farmers league to compare to Tosun in the Premier League.

Well, Tosun just scored two in his first game back in the Turkish farmers league, in 30 minutes. Which by your logic makes him automatically a better striker than Aubameyang.

As said in the initial post, it's comparing apples and oranges. There's nothing to suggest Lukaku is a better footballer than Tosun - there's plenty to suggest he's a better goalscorer, but that wasn't the question. You can be an elite level one trick pony, and that's what Lukaku is.

Yep, Lineker too, Rush, all the famous 'goal hanger' poacher types. Game has moved on in the last 15 or so years.

This post sums up my view.

2020/21 - Dominic Calvert-Lewin

every time I tried one of those sliding celebrations I would take out a knee... let alone have time for the arm thing... I found it much safer to just do the old fist pump in my day I wouldn't dare to do such celebrations and chance scraping my knees. I rather to do a dancing celebration...
