You, sir, are a poet. Your mother must be so proud.I always used to call him "Pookaku" I'd be gutted if we signed him
Haaland for £66.6m in 2022 sounds like an ideal plan - his release clause which activates then apparently.
I think he struggled at Utd with a digestive/health issue, looking at him now he looks in great nickLukaku is a misunderstood and underrated player who had his reputation destroyed by United.
Mourinho misused him. Despite being absolutely huge Lukaku has never been a target man or a hold-up forward. He might be a giant but he plays like a midget. He's a pure goal getter.
His entire career outside of United he's always been a really good scorer. Not great, but still really good.
He's not exactly someone I'd want as he'd be nowhere near worth whatever money he'd cost but if we signed him I wouldn't be upset. As a stylistic fit he's no worse than Haaland (I'd obviously prefer Haaland in case you misinterpret that).
Do you mean he was eating too many biscuits.I think he struggled at Utd with a digestive/health issue
My theory is that one day after training he accidentally knocked a wall panel that opened up the secret room where Luke Shaw stashes all of his snacks. And the rest is history..I think he struggled at Utd with a digestive/health issue, looking at him now he looks in great nick
Belgium would have won the World Cup if Lukaku hadn't missed all the sitters KDB set up for him. He is only good enough for the slow-paced pub league in Italy these days.I'm not sure he'd be a good fit for us but if we are interested i would think Pep would have got a lot of input from De Bruyne and it seems to work at international level
Raiola is also his agent...Usually when there's smoke, there's fire but I just can't see Lukaku here at all. He's not a bad player by any means but he seems an awkward at best fit for Pep's style.
That's the funny thing, because Conte has actually turned him into being an elite hold-up forward, its now become his strongest asset at Inter.Lukaku is a misunderstood and underrated player who had his reputation destroyed by United.

Not at all, Haaland & Ings anyday for me.Am I mad for thinking that Danny Ings might be worth us having a punt on?
I rate him.
Lukaku is a compleatly different player to what he was at united, iv watched him at Inter and hes turned into one of the best Strikers in football. I have no idea where he has got this pace from but he's so fast which i thought i would never say about Lukaku hes combined his new blistering pace with power.
At inter he plays yes as a striker but he shows up everywhere accross the front 3 his hold up play has increased significantly plus his dribbling has improved he can actually use skill instead of just relying on his power to beat somone 1v1.
His finishing has improved as well 23 goals last season, hes on 13 and 3 assists this season. hes Inters kingpin hes making goals himself as well, game against Juve last season he nutmegged De ligt and then dribbled from the half way line taking players on to create an oppertunity at goal for inter. thats not just a one time thing he has that ability now.
I can see why Pep would want him his first touch has improved, hes brilliant at linking up play with other attackers in the Inter team bullies defenders Conte has transformed him hes nothing like he was at united. looking at City hes a massive on upgrade on Jesus and i never thought i would say that. also one thing that has gone under the radar at Inter is his passing he creates oppertunities out of nothing. theres a clip from a champions league game where he outside of the foot crosses the ball past 2 defenders to Martinez in the box which Martinez finishes.
ill link this vid i know its youtube highlights and its not the best but you will see what i mean by hes different than he was at united.
I remember someone remarked that Lukaku sounds like Billy Connolly observing a bovine.I always used to call him "Pookaku" I'd be gutted if we signed him
Load of bull that.I remember someone remarked that Lukaku sounds like Billy Connolly observing a bovine.
