Only if the agent gets £40 million on top.

I hope they get Lukaku. Never turns up for the big games (a la Pogba) and a poor replacement for Cyrano.

You're right PD.

I just feel he flatters to deceive.

A flat track bully is not a bad thing. There will always be games where sides can be put to sword and thus increase the GD. It's something I think we ourselves have lacked over the last couple of years. How many games this year have we seen us dominate games, create loads of chances and just scrape through or even only draw? There have been too many.

they aren't improving their squad. they are merely replacing zlatan's goals. for the thick end of £100m.
a very, very long way to go before they have:
sergio
jesus
bernardo
sane
sterling
silva
kdb
(sanchez?)

Scum have bought a decent player in Lukaku, and they've bought him at a good stage in his career.

Does anyone see him being a flop? I don't see it myself.

Yeah I rate him. I've always wanted us to get him. As a number one striker though? Not really.

He is decent. That's the point. Just decent. Not world class and definitely not worth anymore than £35 million.

Agree absolutely. But now we know it's Raiola again, we know where the rest is going!

I'd consider him just as 'OK'.

I don't think his ball control propels him into the 'decent' category.

Quite right, if he was worth anything like what the rags have paid, Real would have been sniffing.
