He doesn't seem to have a good footballing brain. His athleticism / power etc is great but movement in the box is very poor and instinctiveness is very poor. It was really highlighted in one of the world cups with belgium and tbh hasn't improved really.

The open-top bus victory parade starts from Deansgate at 5.30pm.

Hard to believe Lukaku is a paid professional footballer. Fat and useless.

He has fooled quite a few in his time to spend money on him.

Did he not score a bucketful at inter the first time he played for them, hence the reason they wanted him back. He wasn't as bad as people are making out.

His best season in the EPL was with Everton, play the ball over the top and let him barge his way through.

Limited footballer.

Going by Wiki he has 106 international games and 72 goals and for inter a few years ago he has 95 games and 64 goals!

Parade is about a few hundred yards long, a far cry from United's 10 mile parade in 99.

There's been no change in City's support in Manchester the last decade despite their success, miles behind United.

He's very effective if you play a system centered round him but when he goes to the bigger clubs that doesn't happen so much.

It just gets boring from here on in when your club have won everything, it is called the hedonistic treadmill. Those older fans will secretly be wishing they were a struggling mid table team again or even a team in the 2nd Division as that is where the excitement is at. Dublin Gaelic football fans would have felt the same after 6 in a row.
Yeah I'm delighted utd and Down are shite now.

Hyperbole aside, it is a fair point. It becomes about diminishing returns - it is simply not possible to get anything remotely like the same thrill winning the Premier League for the fourth time in five years (which will likely become fifth in six) that you did as a City fan that first time in 2012, even leaving aside the "Agueroooo" moment. It gets stale. Let's say they win another two Champions Leagues as well in the next 3-4 years, or even equal what Bayern and Ajax did in the 70s. Where do you go at THAT point? There are literally "no more worlds to conquer!", to quote the great Hans Gruber. :P

No change whatsoever, despite the stadium capacity and average attendance increasing in the last ten years and due to do so again?

City getting 35k in L1 but they have no support lol
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

maldini

There were 200,000 there tonight
Hardly no support now

Aaron Boone

One does get the feeling that Manchester is now blue after tonight.

I wouldn't be surprised if lifelong Reds fans are now switching to City.

Sure they used to say normal Manchester people supported city, where every blow in and hanger on outside Manchester supported Utd. Typical example been all there support on here.
