Bye bye Ronaldo. . . so close yet so far 

[NAG1]

Lukaku for £75m, its a big fee but I suppose he is proven in the EPL and he is still young enough.

Probably less of a gamble than Morata at this stage.

[DuffleKing]

Underwhelmed if he's going to be the marquees signing and the focal point of the attack.

Expectation Greizmann...Ronaldo...Morata
Reality Lukaku..
Mourhino  didn't think he was good enough for Chelsea. He must be getting desperate.
I suppose he will suit United's long ball tactics though in fairness.

I think it is a decent signing might not be world changing but it gives Rashford more space for development as well and as we have seen he looks like he is going to be world class.

If he keeps up his scoring form from his time at Everton most fans would be more than happy with that.

I think Lukaku will be a great signing for United.

If he can score 25+ goals at Everton he can score more at United!

Maureen likes the big man up top, Drogba, Costa, Zhlatan and now Lukaka.

Whats Portuguese for "get it up to the big man"?

He'll score that alright with 16-18 of them against the lower level teams in bursts of 2 and 3. He is not Drigba remade in any way. Lazy and easily bullied.

I would be happy enough with that, turn some of those poor draws last season into wins and build on it from there.

Maureen is turning Utd into long ball merchants for a full 90mins rather than the last 15mins.
Utd thinking they are purveyors of fast flowing football are a distant memory now.

Was it JM that got rid of Lukaku from Chelsea when he was there?

This signing would imply that Chelsea have passed on him and have someone better lined up.

What I have read is that the player had a preferred destination and it wasn't Chelsea, but that could be talk after the fact.

I would say Mino Raoila has something to do with it

Everton now saying there's no agreement in place.

Come on Chelsea, put another few mill onto the ticket.

[DuffleKing]

I would definitely prefer Morata. Or both if zlatan isn't going to be resigned in January
