I don't mean to judge Lukaku atm, but the common logic "The others overpaid af so we overpay too is fine" is nonsense. Why take examples mostly from Inter and...freaking Milan? Why not Dortmund whom bought THREE great forwards for 75m as an example?

Inter is known to be a generous payer in the last quarter of the century. I think selling clubs automatically raise their prices when the buyer is Inter, especially now when we have overcome the financial burden.

Romelu Lukaku was given a t-shirt by the Curva Nord ultras. He didn’t hesitate to wear it and roam around the city with it.

First three guys on the left look like they want to serve you some Doner Kebab

Is it me or is he REALLY insecure about his body?

When many people are calling him overweight, it's really expected for Lukaku to have insecurities about his body.

Dude is overweight, no wonder they got him munching salads, otherwise he would be on a diet suited for him to preserve his current weight. You don't need bodybuilder muscles to be a physically imposing striker in this league, lean build with 10kg less but gained acceleration will be far more useful.

It's weird because the man is fucking ripped, but for a footballer he is technically overweight, and due to the very strong relationship between the word overweight and the idea of being fat he's now a walking fat joke.

I guess it might get to him, as I'm sure it would get to most of us. But if we want to talk about fat strikers, Higuain in his last year at Juve and at Milan is an actual example.

In other Lukakone-related news, brand first:

Limited-Edition Puma King Platinum Romelu Lukaku Signature Boots Released

Following his move to Inter Milan, Puma have honored Romelu Lukaku with his own pair of limited-edition signature boots based on the recently introduced King Platinum silo.

Inspired by the boots worn by Lukaku's dad when he used to play in Belgium in the early 1990s, the new cleats are black with a white outsole and white accents.

Lukaku said of the new boots: “Indirectly I feel connected with the shoes. My Dad was wearing these shoes scoring goals with the these in the Belgium First Division. In the year I was born in ’93, he was wearing these shoes basically.

“At a later age me and my dad would wear the same size shoe. For a good 3 to 4 years we used to share boots. It’s nice to see the new version of these compared to the version my father would wear.”

[...] Lukaku will wear the new boots for one game only, the Serie A opener against Lecce later this month.

Piguain was/is definitely fat.

Lukaku is not ripped though. Ibra for example, was/is ripped. Lukaku still has a lot of 'softness' all over. I reckon he's in the 12-15% bodyfat range (hopefully not more) and he needs to be in the single digits, closer to 5-8%

I get that but he is not fat, right now I think that losing weight for him means losing muscle mass.

I think he just needs to focus on playing. He doesn't have to justify his weight, even this Higuain Snorlax dude isn't trying that hard.

Maybe ripped wasn't the right word, more like very muscly, and I think even in this thread there's photos of him with defined abs. But yeah, he does need to lose some of the bulk. 5% might be impossible though, I don't think he was ever that skinny in the first place, plus it might be a genetic thing.

To be honest though, I don't really care. If 30 Vecino pot-shots accidentally cannon off his overdeveloped thighs and into the net, it's still all good with me.

 

[Universe]

Yep. Don't be fooled by a photo of his legs when he's in tensed up, in motion, taking a shot at full power. You're obviously going to see a lot of muscle because his muscles are in action at that moment. Dude is way too soft right now. Was blatantly visible from his medial pics.

 

[syrus]

5% BF is competitive range , and may have a negative effect on his endurance and would be hard to sustain all season long .

 

[Shark]

He has obviously gained weight over the years and it's not only seen in his body shape but also in his movement.

You can post as many oiled up and sweaty pics of Lukaku's topless body and legs as you want, but the sooner he gets to his 2016 physique the better.

 

[Shaun]

Why are we debating his body-fat percentage? He looks like he probably has a lower body fat than Icardi usually does, but his issue clearly is that he is carrying too much muscle

Exactly. There was a talk c. Ronaldo was at 4% all year long lol . He would be dead by now

I work within fitness, been a instructor and a competitor for over 15 years. I can say that being at 5% is VERY low for someone who plays football. Bodybuilders are stage ready at 3-5%, but thats only for a few days, they are ripped at 6-7% even then its low. Considering the amount of muscle Lukaku actually have, he wouldnt benifit with very low body fat %, in comparison with Zlatan. But IMO the optimal % would be 9-12 for Lukaku. Very difficult to guess from pictures what body fat % he has now though.

I hope my comment didn't come as i'm lecturing you, just my opinion both professionally and as a football fan, my english isn't very good
