Making a very reluctant player go all the way to China would seem ridiculous at this juncture. Really hope this is wrapped up ASAP now, as there's also always the risk that a player could pick up an injury.

No thanks, he's bloody awful.
Trouble is who is a top attacker we could sign for a low(ish) fee out there? If we sign an up and coming, we would piss off Rashford, and anyone else decent who is being bandied about would cost Lukaku money, and wouldnt really be any better than Lukaku. The better players are already at the best clubs and the clubs wouldnt sell anyway. Even if we did somehow get another top striker, Mou would still only play 1 up top most games.
This! Well said
Played a few season-games with Inter on Fifa 17 yesterday. Rated 86, fast, very good crosses, created me like 7 or 8 assists in a few games - after that i was convinced.
Sign him up, we need a guy providing width and crosses. If the media is right, it would be stupid from both clubs if he is forced to fly to China, season starts in less than a month.

Great today is going to be "is he in the plane or not".
Knowing the way this has gone we will probably buy him after they land and he then has to fly to LA.

^^^ This!
Flighttracker.com anyone?
He'll walk into United training today like Rachel
"I got off the plane!"
Then Mourinho will walk up to him and kiss him on the lips.

Our problem since SAF retired has been a totally random approach to transfers resulting lots of square pegs in round holes. Perhaps signing players who will fit into the managers vision of system and the way he wants to play may be worth a shot, no?
Do we have a guarantee that he fits that bill ? If he's signed, which is looking happening then I'll support. I'm still somehow hoping someone fecks up in the proceedings.
Yeah, defenders would be terrified for their ankles.
i was indifferent to this signing. However after reading some of the horrendous posts from people about him, i'm jumping on the bandwagon out of sheer spite for those posters. 
GIVE PERISIC THE 7!!!

Just seen that. Looks like this could be done within the next couple days.
Have we prepared the bid already?
That's very clever an all but as a striker you'd hate that. How are you supposed to know when it's coming into the box?
In training I guess ? I mean they'll be training a lot on it in the sessions to develop a link between him and our strikers.
Oh yeah. If I give the secret wink I'm gonna turn the guy 3 times. If I do jazz hands it'll only be twice.
Seriously, there's a reason you don't see many finishes on the end of those crosses. How many times can you see the striker run ahead of the defence and stop?
He'll be doing these moves and crosses thousands of times for Lukaku in the training he'll get used to it eventually.
There're aren't many finishes because Inter attack is crap, just like how all Pogba's chances created went in vain.
It's much better than having a predictable winger who crosses in exactly the same manner making it easier for the defender to defend against him.
That's why his nickname is Ivan The Terrible
Well imo the best cross is one that finds the striker who's timed his run into the box before it get's crowded with opposition defenders but maybe that's just me.
I'm sure him and Lukaku will develop a link between them over these crosses over time. I'm not worried.
Yeah I'm sure he will and it'll be in the form of Lukaku saying..."feck that shit off and just get the cross in"
Thats a pretty big oversimplification.

Some people have gone a little overboard. He's not awful by any means. He's just a bit mediocre.
I don't think Lukaku will be that harsh to a new player in the team.
Oh course he won't, my example was for shits and giggles. But I do think he'd ask if he could maybe cross it on the first time he beats his man so he can make his runs accordingly
yeah this is a football forum not a science conference.
Just like the best shots are the ones that go into the goal.
Well that doesn't change what I said that they'll learn how to develop a link together and how will Lukaku coordinates his moves to link with his crosses whatever he beats his man one or 2 times. Training sessions and manager are here for a reason.
Ivan Perisic has just arrived by taxi at Appiano Gentile - Inter's training ground. At the moment, looks like he's going to China with Inter
Hardly a science to point out that defenders sometimes defend deep, or try and block crosses.
