My point is that he is not good enough for us, thought that was obvious.

I agree that you can write off his Chelsea poor performances as he was young and in and out of the team but after nearly 100 games at United he has shown to me that he isnt good enough for City.

You can argue that United arent a top team but unfortunately they are.

International football is pretty irrelevant as the quality is closer to West Brom's level than what City's.

He is a top goalscorer, that is undeniable, but i think we would be a worse team with him in.

I think that's more a debate of whether he'd be suited to us rather than about his quality.

You can't tell me united are a top team but Lukaku isn't a top striker. He's been in double figures every league season since he left Chelsea and has only scored less than 15 twice. He's been incredibly consistent at various teams in different competitions whereas the only thing they've consistently fought for is a Champions League spot.

He's a bit of a blunt instrument but it's hard to argue with the results so far.

We obviously dont agree whether being a top goalscorer makes you a top striker.

There are people who want Danny Ings so maybe i am in the minority that dont think goals are the most important factor.

Im my opinion unless you are putting up Ronaldo and Messi numbers you need to offer a lot more than goals and Lukaku doesnt offer enough to a top team other than goals.

Maybe i am wrong and he will sign for a top 10 team in the world and improve them and go onto to win them loads of trophies, i dont see it.
 
I think it's actually very obvious he *is* good enough for us. But that we should go for Haaland if we're going to spend 100m on a striker. The price difference between these two won't be big.

I would expect them to finish 10-7th in the prem. All we can really judge on is the european performances and they only won one group game, last year only 2 wins.

How is that different from United eliminated at group stage and being second in the prem?

City,
Liverpool,
United,
Chelsea,
Leicester,
Arsenal,
Spurs

Just considering them that puts them 8th at best so which teams do you think they are better than?

Yeah all those teams doing brilliantly this season lol

this is such a dumb argument because you can't just put the strongest teams from other leagues into your league and rank them like that. The power curve changes, being in the PL they would have a lot more money, etc etc. Such a silly hypothetical that makes no sense and even so, they'd probably be top 4.
