Magnificent player
He is the most expensive PL signing ever isn’t he?
One of the games great bluffers
If your a striker needing a rebrand/boost in career just head to the seria a. Lukakus done it and now Tammy Abraham is also doing it.
Grealish
Grealish is.
Lukaku is close 2nd.. and 6th..
Top 10 most expensive PL signings:
1. Grealish £105m
2. Lukaku £101m
3. Pogba £94m
4. Maguire £78m
5. Sancho £76m
6. Lukaku £76m (From Everton to Manchester United)
7. Van Dijk £76m
8. Havertz £72m
9. Pepe £72m
10. Kepa £72m
Ah yes forgot about the Irishman
In other news, Tammy Abraham has just set a record for goals scored by an Englishman in Serie A in the three point pr. win era with 9 goals so far (16 in all competitions).
Didn't see him for Inter, but he seems to be in the same shape as he was for us. He's carrying way too much weight. He's not the most elegant player on the ball at the best of times.
Spending big money on players really is a waste of time. One out of 10 is a success (so far, bit unfair on Sancho)
Agreed. The number of that actually work out is so small.
I think the problem is big teams have no reason to sell anymore so it’s big money for players taking a step up. If you bought Bruno for 100m it would be worth it or if we went big on Reece James but those transfers don’t seem to happen anymore. It’s big names seeing out contracts and going cheap that seems to be the future
But players like Hazard, Coutinho, Dembele, even Griezmann were all looking for that step up, even if some of them were already at an extremely elite level. I just think it's too big of a risk on just one player and history now prove that it's a terrible decision to go big, 100m+, on one player.
Both are human money laundering assets. No other way to explain the 400 odd million that has been spent on the two across a 7 year span
Loved that cutback in the first half where he completely fluffed the shot.
Any video of the step-overs?
Please. Have you no mercy? No-one wants to see that again.
One undoubted success in that top 10.
A shocking record for all nvolved, only vvd is a success and there's hope for Sancho/Grealish
Kepa I assume?
I'd say 7 and 8 are both successes too.
Havertz? He gets more time, like Sancho.
need a time stamp
4th minute mate.
Since there is this English tax, we can say it's Lukaku right
?Money well spent on a linguistic geniusSince there is this English tax, we can say it's Lukaku right
Forlan is the opposite end of Lukaku. He works fecking hard for a forward/striker, a playmaker, a leader, likeable, and proper big game player.
He did let everything get to him and choked some of the easiest chances I have ever seen.
It’s not a coincidence that he became elite when taking a step down
Or he just matured.
That's the one. Amazing. Hadn't even noticed him actually throwing a moan after that fecking miss.
One of those players you're glad you don't have to cheer him on anymore. He's simply just a bit of a prat.
He has a whinge and then stands there offside for another 5 seconds as Chelsea are still attacking. Such a frustrating player.
God I hate him, so glad we got rid of him!
Laku that is, not God.
Laku that is, not God.
You've never had god to get rid of! You're a satanic club if you think about it.
Which is cooler, to be fair.
