'We didn't want him anyway' because Real Madrid refused to lower a single euro from the asking price

Not that, something to back up that Lukaku was actually your 1st choice.

Probably the fact that we made a 75m pound bid? Morata would have been sold to us for less than that.

No one has said that you imbecile, Morata was quite clearly a target.

So you've actually got no idea. As you like to say, it's just guesswork.

Well I'm capable of putting 2 and 2 together...

I don't think we decided on a whim to bid 75m.

It's all in the public stance of United.

I don't think Pants is too far off on this. Why bid for Lukaku and not Morata if Morata is first choice?

He may well be right. But if you're going to talk in facts, it's good to have something to back it up.

Clearly United is helping out Everton to force CFC to buy luk quickly, so Rooney goes to Everton

And that something is the evidence of the Lukaku bid for more than Morata would have cost?

This is a lame troll, even for you.
You can do better faith.

I love how all the UK media have come out saying things along the lines of 'Conte is reeling they missed out on Lukaku' and 'Conte could leave' because they couldn't land Lukaku. How the f*&k would they know? And what other job would he go to? PSG (maybe) but that's about all that's available.

A week ago he was going to quit because we were blowing a fortune on a player he didnt want. Its all just click bait.

How does that say he was first? All that says is he's valued higher.

Um marcotti just said the same thing.
Stop being a Geelong prick if possible

I might hate United to the core, but bloody hell, if they get Lukaku then dump Rooney's 300k wages back to Everton then it's god level trolling

We're not going to pay remotely close to £300k a week mate.

I don't understand. If Morata was first preference why not buy him? If RM were happy to sell for the quoted price which is less than Lukaku..?

My mistake, it's only 200k per week

Never been happier to lose out on a player. Hopefully this means the club gets of it's arse and signs Belotti or Morata. Last thing I want to see is last minute panic signings like after the 2015 title win.

Chelsea following Leicester's model of mid-table club winning the league and then struggling to go on with it.
