Romelu Lukaku

Won me a fair bit of money tonight...

Absolute beast...

Coming of age

Rom

He never does it in the big games.

People on about Kane possibly beating Shearer's premier league record but Lukaku is same age and has 10 more goals atm. Can the big man do it?

Big Rom

If he can stay injury free, I don't see why not. You'd imagine he'd stay in the premier league as his game isn't really suited to Spain.

I wouldn't be surprised if he struggles a bit with injuries later on in his career due to his size.

Had a sense of the Yorkey signing for me. Just gives an extra "out".

We'll see how he goes long term but expecting plenty of goals this year, league & champs league.. 🤞

The impression I've had of Lukaku from watching him on various loans and the odd game at Chelsea was that he was an immature 'me' merchant. The guy that would rather score a hattrick in a 4-3 defeat than none in a 1-0 win. He also seemed to give up in certain games where the supply was thin. Stop making runs, stop tracking back etc, but I've seen none of that here.

I think United will be great for him. He will have to become a member of a team rather than a stat machine, and Mourinho would never tolerate him giving up. In his Everton/West Brom days he would have shot every day of the week rather than pass to Mkhitaryan, and what a perfect ball it was. When he evolves from selfish to selfless he is going to be some £#%&!ing player; and he's 24.

Pogba is great for that development, one of his mates, tons of ambition to improve himself, but also gives the impression that he is great fun to be around. Has a peer group around of high level players who should be pushing each other on.

The thing that impresses with Lukaku is how little bothered he is by misses or poor moments of play. Plenty of players in the past who if they messed up a few touches, missed a big chance, they would drift out of the game, hide a little bit. Not Lukaku.

Want to see how well he does when the level lifts, but he is going to score a lot of goals against the bottom 12-14 teams in this league.

If we had big Rom last season we would have challenged for the league too.

He's a £#%&!ing mountain

Magnificent big beastly man.

Appalling pube beard though.

A beast of a centre forward.

But we need a beauty.

Would need 20+ goals for 8 seasons running (taking him to 32-33). Big ask tbf, unless he gets some seriously big figures early on.

£#%&!ing people moaning about a striker scoring goals.

Yeah, it's Shearers longevity that is difficult to replicate.

But Lukaku should be aiming for 125 goals over the next five years, which would put him past 200 before the age of 30

Anfield is a big test for him. Not sure what his record against them is like.

He's fantastic. He could throw me around the bedroom like a cornish hen, anytime.
