Gizzy Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Maybe on paper and in the league, but it's nothing really to brag about.They can win a European cup, qualify for the Champions League and have a lot of momentum going into the summer. I know you're (probably) only joking but I know which position Id rather be in. I meant league form and I was joking, but Jose can swing it in our favour We're stuck with LVG though, so congrats to Liverpool for finishing above next year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizzy Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 And have to agree, Lukaku is not the striker we need. If we were going to take an Everton player, I would rather have Stones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 LvG is right our expectations are too high. us expecting him to leave is far to ambitious, and expecting Woodward to do anything, also too ambitious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorando Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Apparently Lukaku's father has said he will leave Everton this summer and his preferred destination is Bayern or United. Bayern doesnt want him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartwork Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Kinda want Lukaku to go to United and score 20+ goals in his first season just to see the reaction of the fans. Couldn't care less otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddidiodion Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I can see him doing it, but her's not exactly the type of striker I'd want the club to build a team around for the next 10 years. We definitely need a striker, but if the choice is between someone like Ibra who is far better and about £50m less expensive and more importantly will be gone in 2 years max giving us time to find someone more suitable to the style we want to play.

Timmy Howard Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 If someone could guarantee Lukaku played consistently like he did against Chelsea that time (in the cup?) I'd snap him up. However, if he plays like he does 95% of the season I'd rather not spend 25 let alone 65 million Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheps. Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Lukaku would be great here but no doubt very expensive. That said in terms of buying new strikers there's the question of how good do we think Rashford can be, and should Martial be playing upfront? If the answers are 'very good/better than Lukaku' and 'yes' then a short term option like Zlatan would be better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Zlatan, would be fine, a year or 2 gives Martial, Rashford and Wilson a couple of years to reach top the position to go solo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
headshotbg Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Not sure about all the Zlatan talk - I can't see him playing under LvG or Mourinho which seem like the only 2 plausible possibilities so far. Unless we're getting Blanc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigcwwe Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Wouldn't take Lukaku at Utd, feel he's overrated, got that laziness vibe about him too, good goalscoring record but Everton value him way too highly.

Roy Race 9 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Klopp: '1-0 half time is usually good. Second half - first goal not good but not a problem. But then came the problem.' Klopp: "Their first goal is not the problem, what happened then is the problem. We were not compact for a second." Klopp: 'We have had some wonderful situations (past 7 months) but not tonight. We couldn't reach our level.' Klopp: 'I promise everybody we will use this experience and come back stronger. One hundred percent.' Klopp: "If we want to get to the highest level then we need to be ready to fall deep. It's a big chance but it's not our last chance." what do we get....our expectations are too high when we win the cup he will be clipping giggs around the head again and strutting around like King Louise......screwy louise more like:thdn: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pago Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Lukaku would hardly be the end of the world based on his scoring record in the premiership at what can only be described as lesser teams than us. He would almost certainly score 20+ goals a season. I don't think he would necessarily be good value though as he will probably cost 40m plus. He is still young though so would have resale value. But I'd prefer zlatan for a year or two for reasons people have already mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Race 9 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 will reserve judgement on any potential transfers until we have the manager situation sorted if it remains status quo then it doesn't matter who we want to buy, or do buy it will be pointless If LVG is to be sacked following what happened last time I am sure they will announce it on NYSE first as the decision to offload Moyes, had an effect on United shares listed on the NYSE, they jumped by 7 per cent, adding tens of millions of pounds to the club’s value. That led to the Wall Street watchdog launching an investigation into the timing of the Moyes announcement, which led to the shares growing in value.

Roy Race 9 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I read we have been scouting heavily at Palmeries they had 2 standout players in U20 world cup Gabriel Jesus a strong attacking player and João Pedro who looked the best right back in the comp, good going forward and could tackle too, hope he makes it sure he will. jesus technically was superb in every game but Periera did when he came on too but a little lightweight was hoping LVG would have given him a run but hey he is a flair player who plays off the cuff...he doesn't like that!!!! His agent also starting to moan stating he was not allowed a loan as LVG gave him assurances but didn't follow through....I hope we don't lose him due to the dutch clown Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samba23 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Gabriel Jesus was excellent at the U20 World Cup. I've seen him a few times for Palmeiras' first team and he's played well without excellng. Joao Pedro was very good too but I'm not sure if he regularly starts for the first team. Would be happy with both of those, providing they don't cost too much.
