Romelu Lukaku

[caught]

Scary thought: if Martinez gets him performing close to that level every week we'll have one of the best strikers in the league. That's never before been true in my lifetime.

He already is one of the best in the league.

Yes, when his second touch isn't 40 yards away from his first.

I was actually going to write 'Europe' rather than 'league' but reined myself in a little.

 

[Pabbers]

He already is one of the best, even with that occasional bad first touch, the goals say that, its a just a fact.

If he had no bad parts to his game at 22, he would be at Real Madrid, or still at Chelsea.

exactly, who would you say is better this season? aguero is obviously better than him, sturridge possibly WHEN he is fit. After that? costa has been woeful, i think giroud is underrated and possibly better than lukaku. vardy's had a decent start, but he scored about 2 goals last season. People have a purple season like kane did, not even close to lukaku imo. the lad at watford looks decent, must be said. Bony's better but never playing, hasn't set the world alight at city. Remy's good as well.

Only aguero is easily better than him and possibly costa.

Yesterday was possibly the best I've seen him play. Fantastic performance.

Agreed , he bullied the defenders. Was always looking for the ball & was always looking to try something . Looked worth every penny of his transfer fee

Bonys better?

On what planet.

On pace for 24 league goals.

No.

Hi Goat. 5 in 8 for Rom. Do the maths.

Aguero scored 5 in 1 game, does that mean he will score 190 goals this season?

he has 6 goals in 8 games. So he is on pace for 28-29 goals.

Yes but he scored 5 in 1 game, so before that it was 1 in 7.

If Lukaku plays like he did yesterday all season he will score 50+ goals, but its very unlikely.

You are just picking 1 game, you need to factor in all games to work out a predicted ratio, that's all he is doing. Not saying he WILL score, just saying at the rate he is going he will get X amount.

The more games you use, the more accurate the predicted outcome.
