God I hope Aubameyang doesn't go to Arsenal. Not necessarily because he'll solve their problems, but the fans would absolutely lose their shit.

Giroud's Mrs holding up the deal now?

You think she would be happy to leave london what with her husband’s pendchant for fucking page 3 birds!

Lukaku a success?

‘Ave a word!

His team are 2nd in the league and he is one of the top 5 goalscorers in the league so he is hardly a failure. Not done amazingly but still a success I would say.

Double figures for league goals in each of his 3 seasons for Everton and 11 in 23 in his first season for Utd.

A success for sure.
I suppose it depends on the metric you are measuring him against.

Personally I think he has, to date, been a big failure for Utd because his goals have meant very little. By this I mean that he’s contributed very little, if anything, towards points earned. His goals largely come after the game is won. I don’t think his goals have amassed much more than 3-5 points this season. You could argue that Lingaard has been more successful when weighing goals against points. In fact Lukaku’s goals have amassed a mighty 5 points for Utd with no assists to bolster that.

At £75 million you expect a striker to have a far greater impact on your points tally than 5. By that metric he’s a huge failure.

Oil powered human rights abusers spend another 50 million plus on a defender....but don't forget Pep is why they win lots....he's amazing, could turn Stoke into Barca....

Madrid making sensational claims of spending 500M in the summer on Hazard, Kane and De Gea.....

Juz means...

They are not spending much in Jan... Even thou they are like... 4th in the table? So fans won't riot I guess...

At the moment they are trusting Zidane... And he is trusting his players.

Real Madrid didn't want to pay £100 million for mbappe in the summer but now want to spend half a billion pounds on 3 players this summer. Oh ok.

I could see them pushing hard for Hazard though. He's a bit more razamataz than Kane or de gea

I remember people that absolutely horseshit logic against Kane.

Come last April Kane had "won" us 11 points, but Lukaku winning 5 by January is a "failure."

Cool down pal. That, in my view, for what he cost is failure to this point. The video was suggesting that the Lukaku £20 million plus transfer TO THIS POINT was a success. By the logic I’ve used he is a failure. What he does from now, and what he’s done in the past is irrelevant with regard to the statement in the video.

Regardless of how much he spends he's an incredible coach. Worth noting that Pellegrino and mancini spunked loads on a lot of players who they were unable to improve or turn into an exceptional team.

They are being heavily linked to Neymar too. I actually think there's some truth in it as Neymar isn't entirely happy there and being the main man at Madrid gives him even more chance of winning the balon d'or. After this disastrous season they will need to do something drastic. Hazard and Neymar could be their priorities. I don't think they'll come for Kane as they will know our answer and price

I am cool, just debating.

The video discusses the success rate of £20m+ Prem strikers. Lukaku cost Everton over £20m and he repaid them with double figure league goals each season and a huge proift when sold, therefore a success.

At Utd he has hit 11 in 23 in the league in his first season. So far he is therefore a success however much people like you want to twist it.

I didn't mention the past or future so your opinion like your logic is nonsense.

Fair enough. You are correct with regards to Everton, that I didn’t take into account, my bad. With Utd we’ll have to agree to disagree. For the price his impact on club success should be greater imo. So far he’s had little to none. The third or fourth goals in a game already won are just icing on the cake.

It was others who made the cake without his help.

Seen keite balde been offered around to Liverpool and arsenal in the hunt. After only joining Monaco for £30million the new chairman wants to buy cheap and sell high again. I remember we were interested before what happened why he didn't come here originally?
