The 10 million we spent on this buys you Thuram now by the way.

Just thought I’d try a different way to hurt myself rather than mentioning Dybala again.
This is the part when someone should say: "But we are broke and have NO money".

Add to that 30m+ we spent on Correa and then you have over 50m to the bin.
+ Gosens who is a shadow of himself + Asllani and Bellanova we never use (Inzaghi's fault but still).
At the end of the day, the free transfers of Dzeko, Mkhi and Acerbi look like genius moves while anytime we spend money we seem to always do it in the most brainless way possible.
We do have money, we just have no creativity or ambition when we use it.

Never seen such a shocking decline of a striker since Fernando Torres.

Yeah this guy needs to take a sabbatical, get fit, then go to mls or something. He’s got no shot here anymore

If he takes a sabbatical, when he returns he will probably be like 130kgs. This guy trains 3-4h multiple days a week and still struggles to get fit.

He is in a hole so deep where even mentally colossal players would struggle to climb out, let alone somene who is as fragile as Lukaku is. Coming back to Inter was supposed to be the magical fix for everything, except things got even worse. Imagine being so garbage that mid-match you get both the opposite bench and your own bench to laugh at you in unison.
It certainly feels like his teammates don't trust him anymore.

I think if he does not do well against Juve and Milan, that would be the end of him in Inter. Also, Porto road game will be important on the road, 3 days before hosting Juve. Cut off the bullshit interviews and focus.

He’s done and it’s got nothing to do with interviews. He can’t play 90 minutes without getting injured. Inter should send him back to Chelsea immediately because no amount of hoping is going to change things.

What the guy needs is a top fitness coach like Pintus to get him to perfect shape and a coach like Conte to adjust his gameplan in order to get the best out of Lukaku.

He has had neither of those things both at Chelsea and second stint at Inter and that's why he's struggling so much. Add to that age is starting to have an effect on his body and then you realize why we see what we see.

That's true, I'll also add that I think we shouldn't normalize the fact that a professional football player who's been playing professional football for more than 12 years needs to be constantly pushed to hit his perfect fitness.

These guys can afford any type of equipment, any personal coach, the best chefs and dietitian in the world.

Yeah I don't really get it why Lukaku needs Pintus to push him. He was with Pintus for fucking TWO YEARS. He didn't catch anything they were doing to keep him fit?

I really hope none of those rumors of Inter wanting to extend the loan are true. It doesn't make any sense given all the risks involved. Even if he slices his salary to half and loan fee is halved, it's still risk. We need all that money allocated to something more useful. This guy has played professionally for 15 years. His body might be done for starting striker duties.

This. His playstyle relies completely on his physical attributes. He doesn’t have the ability to be good late into his career like Dzeko, Giroud, Benzema, Lewandoski etc because he doesn’t have the skill or football intelligence.
