Manchester United

replaces Ibra's goals and while he will score plenty of goals for them not going to help them play the United way

the Portuguese Pulis is slowly United into his image, welcome to more ****ty football next season and plenty of frustration at Lukaku's poor all round play and being offside 50 times a game!!

Spoke to couple of my Scum mates when I caught up with them last weekend. They are all convinced Mourinho has them on the right track & playing great attacking football.

He'll get his 20 odd goals, but Lukaku is a flat track bully and wont elevate any of our competitors, who all do consistently well against the fodder anyway. Needs space behind defenders to run at and will struggle playing for a bigger club with deeper sitting opposition.

Very happy to see either waste a chunk of war chest on him.

Eh? He's scored against almost all the big teams in the past 2 seasons. He's scored against us, Chelsea, City, Arsenal and Spurs.

He actually dominated Spurs last year and I rember acouple of years ago, Arsenal couldn't handle him when Martinez played him RW against them.

More moula for Mino in all of this - United have handed him a fortune in agents fees the past two seasons if this goes through

In the cups? When I was looking at his Premier League record in the Fantasy Football, he did very little against the big clubs. I mean the sun even shines on a dog's arse some days and after 37 years as a prospect in the EPL you'd expect he'd have fluked a few against the big boys. He's good, but he's nowhere near top level for the money being asked for and generally is well contained by top class defences.

The 23-year-old has scored 21 times in the league this season, yet a hearty 16 of them have come against the bottom 10 sides in the table. Hat tricks against struggling Bournemouth and Sunderland certainly serve to inflate his goal tally.


In addition, a great number of his finishes have come very late in games with Everton often leading at the time. As many as 10 strikes have emerged in the last 10 minutes of fixtures for the brutish Belgian.

Also found this - He compares well with Costa and Zlatan in games vs the big boys last year but not on par with Aguero, Kane and a couple of midfielders

But you can't really compare him like for like against the big boys when they are playing for much better teams. It's surely logical that he score more against teams that Everton are better than but less when they are underdogs? A 1 in 2 ratio in that table surely isn't a bad return.

His 2 goals against Chelsea might have been FA cup last year, but he's still frequently scored against top teams and this was at 22/23 playing for a lesser side.

Sure there was a stat at the end of last season that without Lukaku's goals they would have finished in the same place.

They finished 15 points ahead of Southampton and he did score a lot of late goals that probably didn't add many points, so it's definitely feasible. I doublt they'd have got as many points without him playing though.

Didn't Mourinho sell him first time around?

might have done, think he might have been at loan for a season at WBA before he was sold to Everton.

yeah, he definitely loves tormenting the little teams but goes quiet in big games. Whether Maureen can get a consistent performance out of him is another thing.

Also don't understand why they would not pay 79 mill for Morata but would pay 75 for lukaku. Don't think either are worth the figures quoted but surely a club of scums size could find 4mill quid from somewhere?

i hope someone finds the link to moronho buying from this agent so he can get a dropsie/backhander/bung as a little sweetener, the dodgy eye gouging cunt

Strange because Mendes is Mourinho's agent, you'd imagine he'd be flogging all his ****e to them
