Dropped for his comments or dropped because he's shit against any half decent side?
He was also getting benched a bit before the Covid/injury wasn't he?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Agreed. You only need few hundred words in a language to do basic interview. Far from fluent. Many foreign players do interviews in broken English. Yes they can speak English but very little.
He's likely only fluent in his native Congolese language, French, Flemish and English. Italian he probably knows in a conversational manner. The rest is likely to be basic. To know a language fluently, you need practice and exposure. Otherwise, it can get rusty quite fast.
The reason I say this is because I know many multi-lingual people. I'm also multi-lingual, fluent in my parent's native languages (Hindi and Gujarati), English. But I can speak conversationally in broken Spanish. I can speak very broken Russian and German too. This doesn't mean I know 6 languages. Whenever, I'm Spain longer than a week, my Spanish naturally improves quite fast, but right now I'm in broken Spanish mode.
What Lukaku does have is a foundation to build on them, which is still impressive. If he moved to Sporting Lisbon, he would quickly be able to pick up the foundations.
Also, another thing to bear in mind is that because he knew French, it was likely easier for him quickly pick up other Latin group languages like Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.
The interview was supposedly done weeks ago, right? So before doing the interview and getting to the point feeling the need to do an interview about feeling unhappy, he had only returned a matter of months
Yeah I was far too harsh on him.
Yeah this is hilarious.
Glad the rest of the league is finally starting to figure out how overrated this lump is. It never suited anyone, mostly the ABUs, that Lukaku wasn’t worth the hype when he was at United.
United had many man childs when Mourinho was around. Than we added another in Maguire.
deGea, Maguire, Pogba, Lukaku, Martial, Rashford. Thankfully we got rid of one, need to get rid of them all.

You can’t simply ignore that he invented 31 languages and can speak 97 in total the last I heard. He is also the inventor of pointy sign language which he regularly promotes on the football pitch. You just can’t ignore that. But on other hand you also can’t ignore he is a donkey which he also regularly proves. So to conclude the whole argument I would say he is the smartest donkey the world has ever seen.
But I thought we'd made a massive mistake letting him go because he scored a couple of tap ins early season?
De Gea? Why?
He is inteligent at learning languages, it's a sure thing. We all know that there are multiple layers of inteligence, if that's your point.
When you’re a kid and have multiple languages being spoken around you, you end up speaking multiple languages. I grew up speaking four languages because I was surrounded by people speaking them. It really didn’t require any effort or intelligence. But now trying to learn fifth or sixth language would require determination and commitment but not really intelligence.
Being multi-lingual does not equate to a higher IQ. Stilly take

He was dropped because he's shit against any half decent side. Comments just a convenient excuse.
His Chelsea career is cooked anyway. He'll scuttle away to Italy sooner or later.

I know what you mean. I learned english with cartoons (in the old days they were not dubbed, but rather subtitled). And spanish due to the exposure to spanish music who keeps hiting the tops.
Meanwhile, I barely speak Romani despite having lived in a neighborhood where almost 80% of the people were gypsies. But Lukaku actually learned a couple of them as adult. It's half commitment and half intellingence.
When learning french at school I remember that some students with lower grade spoke french much more fluently than students who had better grades. If you have commitment you might learn the rules, but you need intelligence to know how to properly apply them.
what do you understand intelligence to be? aptitude at solving numbers? "determination & commitment" could be used as as a minimalistic way to describe learning anything.
That's not what the article says. It says being bilingual - Lukaku is a polyglot not bilingual by the way - doesn't mean you're smarter and doesn't improve your mental stability. These things weren't said about Lukaku, in fact some of this water has already been treaded:
He’s changed his bio to Inter Milan on Facebook - it’s real I’ve just checked

At least post a half decent fake!
He’s changed his bio to Inter Milan on Facebook - it’s real I’ve just checked
Surely he had just forgotten to update it up until now? No way is he this much of an idiot
Just checked, it’s real
Its down now, must have been hacked
facebook.com/Romelulukaku
unless it hasn’t been updated since the move

I swear I checked Facebook and that’s what it said! Maybe he hasn’t changed it since his move…but under bio it said inter Milan
Check it yourself, it’s real.
How do you check that he changed it to Inter Milan?
If you can, fair dos!
If he's done that, he's even dumber than I thought (and that was already pretty dumb!).
The man’s an idiot. Just shut your gob for once.
He uses the account regularly so would be weird if he didn'tI swear I checked Facebook and that’s what it said! Maybe he hasn’t changed it since his move…but under bio it said inter Milan
Having worked in a multilingual school, I can tell you it absolutely is not a barometer of intelligence
did he applaud the hacker, but not run to stop the initial hack attempt?
One of my favourite things to happen this season.
United fans warning Chelsea fans Lukaku was a moronic flat track bully who can't keep his mouth shut - Chelsea fans lapping up the 'saltiness' from United fans after Chelsea spend £100m on him - Lukaku does nothing all season and effectively hands in a transfer notice then starts mouthing off (after putting on weight again) - tumbleweed
Who was it hacked by? His agent?
The hacker is allegedly named Lamelu Rokako.
Can imagine Lukaku uploading a picture of himself wearing a balaclava with the caption "we found the hacker"
I wouldn’t even call him a flat track bully. That implies he dominates lesser sides. Manage to score occasionally against them? Yes. Bully them? No. If we lined up against Aston Villa tomorrow they would be relieved to see Lukaku out there instead of the shape and style we play without him. If he wants to go back to Italy, he should. That’s his level, and maybe the only place aside from the French league that won’t completely destroy the image he has of himself.
What language does he speak?
Yes
Italy is his level, United fans said that when he left. Luckily we managed to convince Inter he was worth what we paid for him, I very much doubt they'll pay Chelsea what they signed him for.
He's fluent in moron
