Romelu Lukaku

The thing i liked the most about Romelu in his time here was his attitude. He really stood out as the leader of our team. On the pitch and in the dressing room. A bit strange, because at United an now at Chelsea he strikes me more as a dissonant. The whole team loved him too i think.

With Frog an Perisic gone, we really need someone like that again.

It’s really important we have players in the squad who bleed black and blue. Handa, D’ambrosio, Skriniar, Bastoni, Barella and Brozovic seems like they do. But only the first three strike me as ‘dressingroom leaders’. A player who delivers on and of the pitch (like Perisic did) is something we are a bit short of at the moment imo.

I do wonder how do other starters feel about Lukaku? Did they feel betrayed? Do they feel we can't be successful without him? Who gets the definite starting position - Dybala or Lukaku?

If the Tax year is Jan - Dec, doesn't that mean we sold him the previous tax year. How is he still eligible?

can we really know if some players don't hold a grudge against him? he did kinda ran away to Chelsea and he started being unprofessional around December, very disrespectful to Tuchel and Chelsea

we all laugh at Icardi, but Lukaku has his own issues as well

I don't know how much truth there is, if any, in the reports that Chelsea have asked for one of Bastoni, Skriniar or Lautaro to be included in an exchange with Lukaku.

Our one and only priority should be doing everything within the realms of possibility to keep our core players. Literally everything else comes after this mission. We would be absolute spastics to compromise this mission in order to bring Lukaku back.

It should only be considered in the event we can pull it off on extremely favorable terms. The second the parameters become even slightly inconvenient for us, either in terms of finances, or through Chelsea demanding our stars in exchange, we should walk away from the deal.

Not trying to be a fearmonger but I don't trust this management or ownership. You can bury your heads in the sand but it's a fact that Marotta has actively tried to sell Skriniar every fucking 6 months. He's already botched two renewals with Perisic and de Vrij and now Skriniar only has a year left on his contract. It would be very much like Marotta to try insert Skriniar in this deal at a valuation greater than if he were a standalone sale. That's precisely the kind of temptation I don't trust our management with.
