So back to Chelsea now then? Surely no top club will touch him

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.
When the mountains start crumbling and humanity is facing it's ends, the historians of the future will look at the 300 mil. Eur spent on him for transfer fees and declare it as the period of humanity's start of demise.
I mean he wasn’t a starter there last season, maybe Juve are saying he will be?
If they sell Vlahovic, Lukaku would be their best option but Allegri ball is shiiit. Lukaku would find it even harder than he did under Tuchel… Inter is a better option if he wants to score goals and redeem himself, but them having Lautaro and Thuram means he isn’t guaranteed a starting position.
Surely a magician like Poche would make him world class...
Our reserves could use a reliable goal scorer...
Inter can't afford him. That's the bottom line here.

Who you mean reliable goal scorer.Lukaku.
. He is not even reliable human being let alone goalscorer.Inter absolutely could afford him in the wake of the Onana deal - they just don't want to commit 90% of their transfer budget to him having found out he was apparently talking to Juventus literally on the eve of the CL final
Pretty sure they need the Onana money just to keep the lights on, owners are totally skint and they have to operate cash neutrally at worst. They're only offering €30m because that's all they've got...
Or maybe they don’t value him higher than that… 40M (if that’s the asking price) is about 8/year over 5 years… Pretty certain they can afford that, without breaking cash neutrality. They’ve just engaged a similar amount for young unproved Frattesi to replace Brozovic. If Lukaku were really a priority they’d have signed him by now.
I thought players don't "talk" to directly to clubs, instead they leave those financial talks directly to their agents? If so, Inter had no ground to be annoyed because agents talk around all the time? It's literally their job.
So not lukaku then
Thought Vlahovic is supposed to be pretty good. Why replace him with Lakaku?
If the club gets permission from selling club then they can talk to players.
Ofcourse Inter have every right to be annoyed, they got yes from Lukaku and then they proceeded to negotiate with Chelsea. When they agreed fee, Lukaku stopped responding to calls.
Now they are pissed off and called off the deal. Would be hilarious if Juve fails to sell Vlahovic, he will be stuck with Chelsea.
@Amadaeus - thoughts?
Money probably. They'd get more for him than Lukaku would cost.
Pretty sure Inter are the only remaining club that still warms up to him. They are even prepared to spend money on this joker, again. And yet he chose Juve. If Juve ends up being sick of him, all the clubs he has played for end up disliking him.
And at that point surely its the players fault and no one elses. Must be a record or some sort.
Lukaku -> Juve
Vlahovic -> ?
Vlahovic -> ?
PSG.
Could have bought Morata instaed. Juve are clowns
Is that right? Not been following transfer rumours. But support a club badly in need of a number 9.
I didn't know this part. If so, what a clown!
It's honestly difficult to find a more unlikable high profile player than this dude.
Michael Owen had a good go at this too. A Balon D’Or winner, turned out for 5 different clubs, and not remembered fondly by any of them!
That much was obvious from as far back as when he was with us the first time.
He's a popular bloke.
After Ronaldo... Is he the most ridiculed footballer on the planet?
Man of the people
Never thought anyone would take that title from Suarez, to be honest.
Lukaku is #notforeveryone
I'd take Vlahovic. At the moment we have Sancho, Martial and Antony (which scares me to think what we are going to achieve with those three as a goalscoring unit...) so I would definitely take Vlahovic if there was any chance.
Probably Maguire, who doesn't help himself by doing something stupid every time he plays
Isn't it more his actions (like cupping the ears after scoring against a minnow nation when in the worst form of his career) and his family abusing people that critisise him that had led to him becoming a meme more than his football ability?
I feel if the likes of him and Lukaku just played their football kept their mouths shut and went home no one would really care to mock them. Just to be clear I don't advocate the personal abuse that crosses the line but in terms of being memes those two have done it to themselves.
Student of the game...
The game being - 'how to make everyone hate you'.

I don't think that helps him at all. But if he was playing well overall, I think it would get swept away a bit.
It was surreal last season that every time he was on the pitch he did something ridiculous. I had a friendly bet how long it would take him to do something stupid when he started vs Sevilla this season. If you remember, it was the game he gave the ball away and cost us a goal. Quite early in the match. It didn't get much better after either.
Didn’t see post further up
