The Laughing Thread, the gift that keeps on giving.

[Mikhail Chigorin]

No need for a midfield at the swamp next season. Fellaini and lukaku up top and the ball hoofed 80yds for every attack.

No change there then WW.

75million

pls let this be true!

Wont be long before SKY have it down to 7.5m

[JamieMCFC]

£75 + add ons, so we will see what real fee is if finalised.

Hearing with add ons it will be £90.

That's what I was expecting to hear. Fantastic.

Pogba squared?

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.

I agree. To me he is a flat track bully.

[patrickblue]

They're ruining football.
And I thought that was our job.

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.

[Nigels Tackle]

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.

[dazby]

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.

[City64]

Erm didn't we get slated by the rag media for paying £57 million for KDB ??? now he is a player ! £75 million for Lukaku is an absolute joke !!! £35 million tops , absolute hypocrites !!!

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