Romelu Lukaku

[Alex de Large]

Let's say against Slavia we had both Icardi and Lautaro starting the game, with the same shitty midfield with Grandpa and Vecino.
Even Lautaro and Icardi having a good relationship, i DON'T BELIEVE they could win the game by themselves with that amazing understanding to each other.
Maybe Icardi is too selfish in comparison to Lukaku. Icardi is interested in his personal numbers while Lukaku is more interested in the team success. I had some doubts in the summer between the change of one to another, now i don't have any doubts and can only thank Conte and Marotta for what they did.

Dude, stop rewriting history and stop this narrative that fits your agenda.

Icardi was going for the Top scorer award in 2015 and he was passing the ball to a better option instead of trying to score on the final day even. He gave like 3 assists that day and only Palacio managed to convert. Back then he was even more immature than now...
Where on earth did you draw a conclusion that he cares about his numbers? Because Wanda is a moron? I mean ffs, this shit is exactly why I keep "defending" him. If you say stuff that will twist reality of course some a-hole will show up to correct you. Stop doing it repeatedly ffs.

Icardi + Lautaro played very little together vs Barcelona and that got us an equalizing goal.
Sanchez + Lautaro played together vs Barcelona and it gave us the best performance as of yet this season in the 1st half.
Lukaku and Sanchez played almost 1.5 year and a half together and Man Utd fans have grown to hate both

Lautaro so far is the only common denominator in this narrative. Stop belittling Icardi with fake stuff just because you don't like him.
Oh, and Lautaro makes less than 2m while Lukaku makes 9m...

The problem of Icardi is that he can help as much he want's but he don't have the qualitys for that. He isn't fast, he isn't physical, he can't dribble, has not the skills to do something that changes the match. If you ask him to finish and try to help a litle the forward, he can do this. But you can't expect that much with this qualitys. He's more someone that want's the team to play for him, that's why i don't like him. Lautaro and Lukaku can do much more and this makes us dangerous and unpredictable in front of the goal.

"Icardi isn't selfish, remember that one time?"

Look, can we stop fetishizing 'what if's? its boring.

I dont think Icardi was bad for Toro development as a player, Spalletti was.

I also think Lukaku is the best partner Toro could ask for. It sometimes seems like Lukaku plays for Toro, and he does it with love and joy, he does it because he knows how important Toro is for us. Conte was damn right when he wanted Lukaku at all costs, because he knew something that most of us didnt - when Lukaku plays close to goal and have a quality player next to him, he would be at his best.

“At the moment they are the best partnership that I have played with. They do really well together and play for the team. They help us out and are not all about goals.

First of lukakus first season was pretty good at manu. In his second one he scored 12 in 32 eol games. Zapata scored 6 in 21 at napoli and immobile got 3 in 24 for dortmund (league goals).
So clearly the flopping is not on the same level and lukaku ateast played a good first season at manu. The other two sucked the moent they joined a bigger club.

When you get the time look at their individual cases and not just copy and paste their stats from wikipedia. There's a reason why today they're skilled, top marks men today. I can look at Lewa's stats when he started out at Dortmund, or Toro's first season at inter and call them flops too. How was Salah's first season at Chelsea?

As far as Kaku's pretty good first season, he was high on confidence, as he is now. He was taking risks and aggressive. But he doesn't have the quality to be an all time great. But fuck it, goals are goals.

No we dont you said you doubt anybody would even take him for 40 i said at 40 multiple epl clubs would come knocking and if he keeps his current scoring rate they ll even come knocking for 60+ mio.

You're right. 40M is possible. But surely that isn't a good thing if we paid 75M. Do you doubt his quality too?

Classy.

Lukaku experienced alot of racism in his youth. To counter this he played with alot of rage and wanted to become the best Belgian footballer. One of the reactions towards racism is 'overdrive'. They aim very high in their career so they are being acknowledged for what they have done and their status instead of being judged by their skincolour.

With all the fame, succes and money Lukaku still can't escape the racial abuse....

If Icardi was better than Lukaku, how come our team is doing so much better with a worse main offensive player, we score more goals, we have more chances, yes our midfield is better, but even now, when its worse than last year, we are still creating more, and we have more space up front.

Seeing how sexy was Spallettis football at Roma, how admired was Nainggolan as a world class midfielder and how great Perišić was for Croatia, you have to wonder what was happening at Inter that we weren't scoring as much as we are now. I believe we even scored in every match this season.

What I see is that we don't need a striker who only receives crosses to the box to score goals. What I see is a better gameplan, but also the players seem to be having each others backs. Except for Brozo throwing hands, there seems to be a certain level of understanding to just follow the inatructions and that we'll do what needs to be done

Classy.

Notice the careful wording of the statement? We did not detect any racism from "the whole stadium." Obviously it wasn't the whole stadium, you morons.

Yes, probably Icardi is more suited to be the star of mediocre teams like Lazio. Or just a rotation player for a big club which is what he is right now at PSG, Cavani and Icardi share that spot.

Anybody else who shat their pants when Lukaku came 1vs1 against GK and thought his touch would ruin this free goal?

So we were mediocre like Lazio ? You guys act like he did nothing for us.........

Hello guys, Im a Manchester United fan and signed up to talk about Lukaku as it seems like he will be leaving to join Inter Milan.

Romelu is vastly underrated in general. He has an amazing record for Belgium and the year before he joined us he managed to score 25 goals in the league alone. I can describe what he is best at and perhaps you can decide on whether his game will be effective at Inter Milan.

First of all, he is actually not that strong with his back to goal, although his link up when the ball is played across the ground is better than given credit for. It is true that his first touch is inconsistent but when he gets the link up right it is difficult to deal with when he managed to peel off defenders due to his power and pace.

When he drifts to the right and side he had a VERY good cross. He usually shifts the ball on to his left and puts in dangerous crosses. He is in fact the best crosser at Manchester United, although that’s not saying much considering the other players are terrible at crossing. This poses a problem for him in our team as the delivery is one of the worst in the entire league, no exaggeration.

When we finished 2nd, he did not receive credit for his work occupying the opposing CB’s which allowed spaces for other players to score. You may have seen Lingard scoring goals at an increased rate the season before last season due to this. So if you have midfielders which are adept from the edge of the box, Lukaku is useful to free space for them.

His through ball and passing is also underrated. He does not get many chances to show this at Manchester United, but he is very capable of playing through balls and disguised passes in behind for other forwards and intelligent runners.

I think Ole wants Rashford to be first choice due to his energy and dynamic play, so Rom is likely leaving as he wants to be first choice. I’m not sure if you have signed Dzeko yet but Lukaku in my opinion is more than good enough to lead the line, so long as there is delivery and runs around him.

It must also be said that Conte badly wanted him at Chelsea, but we swooped in and took him. You should trust Conte’s judgement on this signing, he knows exactly what he is getting with Lukaku.

I made this post when I first joined. I think you are starting to see some of the things I mentioned. Lukaku drifting from the right and partnership with Lautaro being some of the main aspects. Sensi is also an important player so hopefully for you guys he is fit to play soon and join the two forwards from midfield as spaces will open for him.
