Man Utd Thread:

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.

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

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

I think Lukaku will be a great signing for United.

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

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

[Taylor]

Raolia was involved with Zlatan, Pogba and Mikitarian deals so knows he can get plenty of ££££ from Utd.

Looks like 75m is the starting figure.

Chelsea v Utd - hope both go head to head and waste 100m on him

The reality is a clown called Ed Woodward is still dealing with transfers. Why?

Doesn't matter United fans didn't want him now anyway...

Any of the United fans on here have given a realistic assessment of the proposed transfer. I don't think anyone getting carried away either way.

Perhaps Lukaku just preferred a move to a big club?

That's what he has done everywhere he has been - why would it be different this time. As BCB say though there are big doubts about Lukaku.....just don't think he's tough or mean enough. Perhaps Jose can bring that out of him....who knows?

It just gets more depressing all the time.
