Not everybodies cup of tea but when he's got his goalscoring head on has few equals.

He's exactly what our team is missing right now. A potential target man and 20 goal a season striker. Chelsea clearly don't want him either. I'd definitely try and sign him. We have apparenty no use for Sancho, so it's perfect really. Doubt it'll happen though.

Yeah, well apart from a top-notch LB and a controlling midfielder.
 
Lukaku was a disgrace in his second season he should never have got into the condition he did.

1 run and he was blowing takes a lot of energy to move a frame that big and it was his decision to “bulk up” not the clubs.

Yeah always dangerous to do when it was Lukaku in an interview telling the story halfway through the season.

Romelu Lukaku: bulking up for World Cup has hampered my club form

Romelu Lukaku says his form for Manchester United has been affected by having to lose muscle mass he put on playing for Belgium in the World Cup
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

He admits he put the extra muscle on for the world cup then had to try and get it off for the new season at Utd.

you could see watching him that he wasn’t in good shape and Utd as the club paying his wages should have been telling him adding more bulk was a bad idea.

That story has been twisted to feck, it was media driven and a lot of our fans fell for it, he had a great first season and he wanted to get quicker and stronger, what's the harm in that?

Twisted? it was him admitting that he’d put weight on and needed to get it off. He tells the story in his own words.

That along with being knackered after the World Cup and an injury meant he was well off it in his second season. He actually finished the season ok from memory.

He didn’t need to get quicker or stronger he was already very quick and very strong what he needed was endurance to last the full 90 minutes in games rather than fade. There’s a reason why the first thing inter did with him was get him to cut down his size and make him way more lean.

I saw him live in both seasons he was noticeably bigger in his second season than the first.

It's more about why he felt the need to admit it, anyho leaving it there.
 
The fact that Lukaku has bounced around clubs for the last 6-7 years speaks volumes really. He looks very good on paper with his goal output but in reality he does stunt attacking play and therefore he’s not really that desirable.

I was excited when we first bought him because he guaranteed goals but by the end I was ready to drive him anywhere just to see him off our books.

Oh right so it was you that drove him to the airport, you kept that quiet ....

You know it’s bad when Lukaku is suggested as the answer to our problems!

Well, we really are short of goals. He's a seasoned pro and would be the best option from Chelsea. He wouldn't be my personal pick if I could choose anyone though.

You have to wonder where the goals are going to come from this season. Huge worry for me.

There were rumours they would consider letting Madueke go before the weekend I'd have been interested in him.

He's an upgrade on Anthony on the right.

I don't think Utd need to replace Sancho with another player in the squad so don't see us being willing to take players the other way as Chelsea aren't going to give you someone you actually want.

Really hope we don't get Sterling. Cannot stand him and he's leaving Chelsea because he wants to be guaranteed game time.
 
Not a fan of this either. Never liked Sterling, he's such a weird player. Misses so many easy chances, but scores some ridiculous stuff. You can never, ever, call him.

Saying that though, is he more useful than Sancho to ETH? I'd say, yes.
 
Iv never seen the hype with Sterling, this board are more inclined to go for younger players anyway can’t see it happening.
 
Sterling to United is growing on me, much like Michael Owen did

Maybe i'm coming down with something .....
 
I don’t love the idea of Sterling but also similarly I don’t hate it. He would add some depth to our attacking options and I think he would be more useful than Sancho.

Still don’t 100% believe it will happen but you do never know!
 
Never liked sterling at all. As we're trying to lower the average age, will he benefit us I doubt it. However More useful than Antony? Very possibly!
 
Boyhood Utd fan.

Maybe he missed all of those chances against us on purpose.

Think the attack lacks a bit of experience but unless he’s massively dropping his salary to reflect being a squad player it’s hard to see this happening.

I’m not a massive fan of this move if it happens but I can see why Utd might be willing to talk to him and see what he’s after.
 
I think the idea is Chelsea would have to pay the bulk of his wages if they even want us to consider this move. If they're willing to do that then I don't see the harm in taking a punt. Sancho is clearly going to be 100% pointless under ETH. So unless we can get actual cash for our player, this seems like a decent option.

Didn't know he's a fan. That is a plus as far as I'm concerned. Makes me actually like him a bit too.

I think both clubs will be giving their current player a pay off to leave and take a reduced wage on the contract at the next club for this to work.

Probably something like that, but the mirror are reporting we are not willing to do it unless it suits us. That may mean we get a much better deal than them. How that works out, I do not know.
