You need to stop believing the papers, they're the only ones mentioning £100mil.
Koeman and the Club have said nothing but wanting him to stay.

We can play stats both ways, now Lukaku is weaker because he stays fit and scores goals all season rather than playing less and scoring fewer as that's a better ratio :confused:

Im not saying he will go for 100m. Believe £50/60m realistic though. But I'm just saying that the top clubs may aspire for the ones I mentioned ahead of Lukaku. If they could get them.

Im not saying that Lukaku playing more is a bad thing. But like you said about him adding goals to a team if he was there. I'd hazard a guess that during Kane's absence his replacement scored enough that Spurs main striker scored more over 38 games than Everton's. Of course that's also helped by Spurs being the better team.

Like i saod. We've had this convo before. I'd have Kane over Lukaku and going on their total prem records it's clear to me why. But if we're talking picks on the school field. Neither are bad choices.

Let's go back to the old fashioned way of rating players by ignoring stats then.......... Yep he's still a flat track bully :whoo:

Torres scored 65 in about 110.......
Torres best in one season was 24, same as Lukaku currently has, Owen never got more than 22 PL goals in a season. apart from Suarez you have to go back to Fowler over 20 years ago :whoo:

So does Lukaku only contribute in the league now? Pretty sure Owens goals came in quite handy winning a few cups.....

So the whole discussion isn't about the PL?
How many of the forwards you listed have proved themselves in the PL?
Maybe you can define the boundaries of the conversation so I can keep on track.
Maybe we should compare international goals as Kane has nowhere near Lukaku's total.

If the discussion was purely on pl then yes. As far as pl strikers currently go he is top 5. But if you're talking Top prem clubs signing a player then there are lots more.

Id suggest a domestic record would be how most teams would scout players. How about just total careers goals per game ratio. That might help Lukaku get the better figures. How about you define exactly how we should compare or is it only everyone else changin things for their benefit and not yourself....

I thought we were discussing PL, have a look at Stu's original post, I'm merely defending Lukaku from other peoples posts, never claimed he's the worlds best. You brought the others from around the world not me ;)

Yet another player that didn't play the Liverpool way..... but they were stupid enough to buy him even though they knew his style. Taking a punt on an unknown, fine, but buying a proven striker and then screwing it up, incompetent. Or maybe the dental plan for them wasn't as good as the one they had for Nasher Saurez...???

Carroll was a strange signing , not sure if Kenny saw him working in a partnership with Suarez , and it's a shame for his injuries because I think he can be a beast of player, a times he was unplayable and still annoyed that Rodgers didn't give him a chance. But £35 mil was a lot of money.

What's the crack with players wearing t shirts with players names on when they get injured?
Embarrassing

I don't get it and I wouldn't feel comfortable having to do it.
With regards to the actual game, I think United must be colour blind. Their passing in the first fifteen minutes has been absolutely atrocious.
Now, that's embarrasing!



As is Fellaini .................. no change there then.
