Just makes the fee we paid for Jesus look even better. £27 million for Brazil's next star striker or £100 million for Lukaku hmm... tough choice.

Let's give him a full season first.

I think with us it's more about getting the player than it is about price. We haggled over price a lot in the Fergie era and lost out on a few good players. Now we just pay the costs involved and get the player to sign if possible.

You out bid yourselves to make a statement,you have been rinsed on this and the pogba deal,everyone backed away at the stupid costs including the agents fee last year,you never needed to pay that much,you have become what you hated us for,it's quite beautiful

But he wasn't your first choice was he so why the inflated fee?

Hello :)

I always wondered what Ed's remit was.

Whatever the price for Lukaku ,I think it's worth it. He's only 2nd to the best striker in the prem league who's valued at around 140m.

Agüero, Kane, Costa...

Didn't realise Aguero was valued that low?

back in the ferguson days you weren't desperate, nowadays you are, you have to catch up to 4 or 5 clubs, emile heskey is not the answer, mourinho will devastate united over time .

Its true that we need to catch up but the rest I disagree with. Mourinho has won a few trophies for us so far and put us back in the champions league so not much devastation there...but the future? Who knows. But right now we look good in terms of playing staff.

I think Lingaard is worth 90m but not a penny more

not sure he's even worth 90 m&m's, in all fairness

They could have had Bony for a lot less and he was once the top scorer in a calendar year.
