Romelu Lukaku

He's got no chance at United now mourinho has gone. He was his big signing and he had to stick with him. Lukakus failure has no doubt contributed to mourinho sacking just like him downing tools got Martinez sacked.

Sticking him in a modern frontline that requires movement intelligence and good touch and pass ability is a no no. That rules him out of our team too.

More like avoiding their many weaknesses

- doesn't win enough aerial balls as he can't anticipate flight of the ball

- movement is predictable and he can't shape runs or feign them.

- touch of an elephant

- passing is erratic

- lazy

I'd take him back even just for his ability to hold it up. We don't have a guy who can do that. DCL is not strong enough and I don't know where Tosun and Niasse are at.
More than that though, it would be great to see him rampaging at defences again.

Hold it up? Rampaging at defences again?? You got this confused with the Rooney thread?

In 3 years he had about 2 or 3 games where he did those things.....


As for the weight gain....he eats too much. Simple as that. To gain muscle in a short period of time whilst burning the supposed number of calories footballers do in the cardio aspect is very difficult. You just can't do it unless you are taking in excess calories... he likes his grub and AVB had this issue with him at Chelsea.

Putting that much beef on at 25 is worrying. Most blokes get like that in their 30's..... it makes sense though as he looked 20 at 14

I don't understand how that's been allowed to happen - surely clubs have nutritional programs, weight 'targets' etc etc to ensure players stay at the right level.
Lukaku looks like that WWE wrestler Mark Henry

Lukaku.webp

Mind you, Utd seem to have had the same issue with Luke Shaw lol

You honestly think Lukaku was the reason that clown Martinez got sacked mate?

Nothing to do with his shambolic tactics and lack of a defence?

You seem to lay every problem at Roms feet im suprised he never sunk the titanic or caused the Iraq War.

Did you purposely miss the bit where I said "contributed" in order to bring Iraq and the titanic into it?

Wasn't utd's fault, he just got friendly with Ashley Wiliams and together they go around each others houses for takeaways...about 21 times a week.

Lukaku has put on pure bulk, clearly he's been smashing the weights and protein smoothies. If you're going to gain weight that's the way to go about it, just it ain't too clever when you're a striker in the Premier League who scores goals by getting in the right positions.

Williams came back for pre-season after the first year with the club looking he'd been living in a van travelling to different festivals all summer. Big beer belly and no definition on his frame at all (and a daft hair-do to boot). So embarrassing, club should have fined him wages and put on a personal fitness plan.

If ever a player and a club suited one another for attitude and identity it's Williams and Stoke.

Look at professional bodybuilders.... they put on a few pounds of lean muscle in a month or 2 of heavy weights, 4000 calories a day and drugs!

Lukaku has dropped his cardio, increased his food and put on maybe a few pound in muscle but the same amount in fat.
