I don't even think WBA fans make statements like this ..... He is not a world class player, why wouldn't he have played for us? Man United got rid of him cos he wasn't good enough.

Its proper weird.... He was getting this sort of stuff when he was bouncing balls round the ground off his shin.

Quite frankly he is the most high profile big game choker I have ever seen. Semi finals and finals or games Vs top 4 and he's not even in the mix. Loves West Ham though.

I think it is amusing that United managed to get nothing out of Lukaku, Di Maria, Depay, Mkhitaryan, and probably other players who have been pretty good to world class since leaving and it is still blamed on each individual.

This is one of those tell me you aren't paying attention without saying you aren't paying attention things.

He’s one of the best strikers in the world and we had him for 4 seasons. There aren’t many of our players, in my time as being a fan, that have achieved that level.

You mean they went to slower paced leagues and looked good? Yeah ..... That will be the one.

He's no where near best in the world .... No where near!

Stop judging players on goal stats. Simply put - world class players do it on the biggest stage when the team needs them.

I don't consider Harry Kane world class and he's better than Lukaku.

Lewandowski, Mbappe, Aguero, cavani, benzema..... He doesn't belong with them.

Why did Chelsea pay 100 odd million for him, then?

Harry Kane isn't world class? Funny.

You should be able to capitalise on this in some way, as you have identified a glaring inefficiency in the market that no one else appreciates.

You just need your analysis - that the most valuable footballer in history is not world class, to hold true.

My analysis? Ah good..... Yes ok. His value of 288m is made up of 5 transfers...... 5!

9m more than Neymar who was made up of 2 transfers.

On the list suprise surprise is Alvaro Morata.
So ..... Let's look at the value of the transfers...... £13m to Chelsea from Anderlecht, failed to score and missed a penno in cup final was sold to us....£32m - impressed many fans not all who seem him as a flat track bully who went missing in big games. Disrespectful of the club every time he went on international duty.

Got a £76m move to United and was jibbed off really. Went fat, missing, couldn't control a ball. United fans not missed him.

Sold at a loss to Inter where he liked the slow pace of the league and managed to get Chelsea to take an expensive punt on him.

Not world class by a long shot when you look at his career like that.
