What other striker do we have at the club that people berate for a poor first touch ?

Take your time making someone up..

This. It's nearly as bad as Fellaini's.

YHIHF.

I won't be taking any questions.

Not sure where this leaves Kane

Personally I wouldn't do any deal with them without discounting 28 million for Fellani from the fee. Actually I wouldn't deal with the @#%&!s at all after the shit we got from them for making a perfectly reasonable bid for two crap players in summer 2013.

As shit as the two players are/were, they were still two of their best players at the time and we tried to take the piss with £#%&!ing "two for one" deals and Christ knows what else Woody cooked up. I'd say they were perfectly entitled to have the hump with us.

I cant see them selling, they get the vastly improved TV money in the summer and will probably try to add to their squad rather than sell their best player.

He's only the fifth player in league history to have scored 50 goals before passing 23 and he's scored 1 in 2 for the past 3 years playing for West Brom and Everton, Genuinely mind blowing that Chelsea let him go. He'll be one of the top strikers in the world in a few years.

I can't imagine what circumstances could enable us to get Lukaku, apart from him telling Everton he wants to join us. As we have seen, having a bottomless pit transfer fund, doesn't mean we get the top players that we want. Players handing in transfer fees, or winding their contracts down, or a club in a financial mire, just might see us get someone we really want, but then we have to content with other top clubs, who seem to get deals done quickly, whereas we seem to struggle to get the deals over the line.

Same Jose who signed Falcao?

You don't often see players handing in transfer fees tbf, so that's probably unlikely, much as I'd love to see Lukaku stump up £65m to free himself from Everton to join us

He wont hand in a transfer request He would be saying cheerio to the 5% of the fee the player/agent receives. Unless United say they will pay it to him incrementally on his wages.

Why are people getting hung up about a transfer request

They have previous with Stones, they dont have to be a selling club anymore. So the player would have to put in the request.
