Romelu Lukaku

Farewell, then.

See you in 10 years at Inter Forever with Pandev and Karagounis.

Thank you for giving me the best time I had supporting Inter since the Triplete. It was short and I wish you can be here for longer but fuck it was worth it. Grazie Romelu

I was at that game, it was the best live football experience of my life, right down to the stadium announcer wrongly thinking that Lukaku had scored the equaliser and screaming his name while Vecino celebrated like a mad-man sprinting back to the centre circle with a confused look on his face

Great player, great man, and now great memories. I hope he wins at Chelsea.

I voted former players, main reason is the only one season of contributing towards a trophy, and we are not fuckin roma to be satisfied with that, regardless of our past struggles. LGI should reflect our entire history, which is rich in trophies, not just the past decade of struggle, and then to measure things on that merit with regard to who deserves to be in it right now.

I think LGI should be a healthy mix of longevity in inter shirt, trophies we won in plural, and how much that particular player contributed towards those trophies.

all serious clubs are blocking the departures until they find the replacement while we are selling Lukaku & Hakimi and still not having anyone for their spots.
Romero to Spurs was not done until Atalanta closed Demiral & Lovato deals.

And I don't consider 35 year old Dzeko as his replacement.

This. We shouldn't be voting on who gets in.. there should be several criteria delivered from the mods or all the members together, and who passes all of those, gets in the section without voting.

Same, what a game what a game. At halftime I was furious with myself for spending hundreds of euros and be less than 24 hours in Milano, why I do this shit, I don't have a f*ckin money tree in the garden to: best day of my life, I'm in heaven, best spending I ever did etc etc. I will never forget this match and every time I see highligts of this game I get goosebumps. The atmosphere was also electric, best game I've ever attend on and off the pitch.

That second half was the best 45 mins of my life.

Can we agree on a principle of what makes a player part of the "La Grande Inter" section other than a popularity contest that serves no real purpose?

Some structure, such as:
- Won a continental trophy (Champions League, Uefa Cup, Europa League et)
- Won multiple domestic league titles
*Appeared in 50+ games during this winning period

- Or generally, appeared in 150+ games for Inter and has left his mark (was robbed of a title, was best player in the league, top scorer, fan favorite etc) or represented his national team whilst at Inter at a big stage (World Cup, Euro, Copa America, Confederations Cup etc) which gave us good rep. This could be the part where voting comes. Someone like Vieri fits the bill here. Adriano could also be an example here as he wasn't a significant part of the Scudetti he got medals for, had an impact for a Coppa Italia, but for example everyone knew he was part of Inter in those Copa America and Confederation Cup wins in 2004 and 2005 and was a Pirata d'Oro in 2004.

That's too much work from the phone

If Hakimi was still around, everyone would have been ecstatic by this sale.

Now it just feels awkward.

As for the tax thing, 5 years is what I also thought but I keep stumbling upon new information and I stopped dealing with Italians since 2 years ago so I have zero first hand experience now with this issue.

By and large, I agree. But that's the whole problem, isn't it? That they sold Hakimi as soon as they could to the first bidder because they didn't allow for the possibility that Lukaku might just get a huge offer from England. I'm sure Hakimi could've still been sold at a later date if it came down to him being a last resort. If Hakimi was worth €60-70M in late June, he was still worth that 6-8 weeks later.

Not that I was happy about the idea of any sacrifices in the first place, but I definitely had Lukaku at the top of my list if it came down to that, for a variety of reasons. Even now, isolated from surrounding context, this isn't a bad sale, but it's everything to do with what it represents. Lying. Complete lack of foresight and failure in planning. Lying. More-or-less putting a "for sale" sign on front of the awful new logo. Lying. Screwing over your new manager and pissing off the management board. Lying. The fact that the Zhang's are too busy hiding in China to have any decency whatsoever to explain themselves. And, before I forget to mention it - lying.

There was a road through this window where Lukaku (or Lautaro) was sold and Hakimi was kept. Instead of either/or, we lost both. And it seems like whatever paltry sum of the Lukaku money that's going to be authorized to be spent is going to be spent on shitters. There's no other way to describe this other than as being a catastrophic failure of a window.

LGI for me! Best player we’ve had in over a decade. Won our first title in over a decade. The biggest risk the club has taken and he made it off spectacularly.

Did more than anyone on the pitch to reverse the squad’s losing mentality and inject some dignity & prestige back into the club.

Really don't care for the lgi debate.

For me, probably not a legend considering he had 2 years here only, but I'll remember him as a fucking beast here.

Thank you Rom, you proved me so wrong. I was against his signing but he was phenomenal. Good luck you beast. Hope you gey revenge in England

No idea why some of you are angry. We made a profit of what almost 30m? Conte's gone and he was the only one who kept him in check - training wise.

He will never be the player he was here. Never ever. This Lukaku is the result of Conte.

He will be ok at chellseaseaaea. Nothing spectacular.

Incredible player. Sad it is ending already and he is joining one of my teams rivals. Hopefully you guys saw what the idiotic fans of my club couldn’t see.

It was the same in here, guy was disliked to say the least by many

Big Rom is a legend, a giant, but I voted former players.
