Can't wait to watch Lingard sky a cross to Lukaku who's his first touch falls to Pogba outside the box who then blasts it 20m over the bar

You've just described something that happens every single week in football in matches not involving Manchester United.

 

[pieman123]

Is Lukaku that much better than Zlatan whom United had last season anyway?

Zlatan missed so many easy chances last seasob which Lukaku would have buried.

 

[glenferry23]

*worst

 

[typeclub]

Apparently he wanted to go to Chelsea but his first touch took him to Manchester.

Oh shit

LUKAKU RELISHING UNITED MOVE

Romelu Lukaku claims he is joining “the biggest club in the world” after undergoing his medical ahead of his move to Manchester United.

“It’s the biggest club in the world and a club that wants to win the league again and be dominant in the world again,” the Belgian told ESPN.

“I’ve always wanted the opportunity since a child, when they came calling I didn’t have to think twice. I’m really delighted to hopefully be a part of their history.

“Who would say no to the biggest club in the world, the best stadium in England, the best fans? It’s a perfect opportunity.

Lol the best fans? Very quickly to move on from Everton, will get a frosty reception at Goodison.

lines right off the teleprompter.

if it was the biggest club in the world theyd go after someone better than you

Just the typical goo.

 

[pantskyle]

Just the typical goo.

Pretty much. Only comment I found interesting was that he had already decided to join United before Chelsea made a bid. Futile in the end.

Maybe we have a sell on and were just boosting it a bit

Rom did say he had made up his mind a month ago or so who knows. Seems like a weird waste of time bid from us.

And yet there is the video where he is saying how he wants to be at Stamford Bridge, how that's his dream.

Happens to every club numerous times a window. Not really anything to worry about.

No club signs all their number 1 targets for each position

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

And yet there is the video where he is saying how he wants to be at Stamford Bridge, how that's his dream.

He's been saying forever he belonged at Chelsea, Drogba hero, yada yada.

Kid's got a massive ego, constantly talked shit to the media out of turn, disrespectful to his employers.

OT probably a good fit.

Lacazette has already won this I think:

"I am, of course. delighted and very proud too because Arsenal is a legendary club," Lacazette, who admires the club's "stability" under Arsene Wenger, told the Gunners' official website.

"Throughout my childhood, thanks to Thierry Henry and other French players, I always dreamed of playing for this club so that dream has been fulfilled.

"[I like] Arsenal's past – I like clubs with a history. Also the fact that the manager has been here for a while shows it is a stable club, which I like.

"In addition, there are quite a few French players here, which makes it easier to settle in.

"In my opinion, Arsenal is also the club that plays the best football in England so I really wanted to play here."

"When I play I like to use my pace to link up with my team-mates. As a forward, I like to score goals of course, but that not all that I'm about," he said when discussing his style of play.

"Every time I take a shot at goal it's because I believe I can score. I don't just shoot for the sake of it.

"I also try to keep as calm as possible. All that is achieved by a lot of hard work in training."

Lacazette added: "I want to give 100 per cent in every match. I want to show I'm worthy of the shirt. I want to do everything I can to make sure we win titles."

Reports Everton have agreed a few of £32m for Sigurdsson

We signed Tyias Browning from Everton for the season in case anyone cares.

You've got Galloway & Browning now on loan. Galloway has more potential but I wanted him to be part of the first team this season because he's very good. Will be a great year for development if he can play week in week out, which he should. Browning just needs a good injury free run to show what he's made of, but same story for him. If he can play a full year it would do wonders, he's quite composed but should be a great fit

VVD and Sigurdsson both apparently heading to Everton, incredible. They could legitimately challenge for Top 4.

Lukaku being replaced with Rooney sets them back massively.

 

[chef]

Finally shit is happening.

I suppose good thing he isn't. Sandro and (presumably) Giroud are the replacements. Sigurdsson in midfield also adds a lot of goals.

Think the balance of power in Liverpool has swung inside of one window.

 

[Shoei]

Don't even care anymore.

I see Everton going backwards if they sign Giroud to play Lukaku''s role. Sigurdsson is not good enough for a top 6 side and way over priced at 32m. I don't see any of Everton''s signings getting them in the top 4.
