The whole money thing becomes a non issues these days when players are going for over £100 million. Pogba was £90m on his own, and is that JM’s fault?

LvG brought some dross, and played some shocking football. Glad we have moved on to JM.

as interesting as the back of a refrigerator.....

DiMaria's GF seems to know more about football than Sir park a bus alot.

What are you talking about? Di María gf knows more about football then JM?

You mean because she wanted to move after they never settled in Manchester and there House got broken into? What’s that got to do with JM?

You play in like 4 hours!

See, if you were really on the ball, you'd have pointed out that lukaku has not had a single shot on target against the top 6 teams this season.

You were asking about the past week. I can't talk much about a game that hasn't happened yet!!

If true. That says more about the team than the striker to be honest.

FFS. We finally get rid of the Spuds and their pathetic WUMing and now we’re infested with Dippers. Guess it’s time to wreck their thread soon.

Not sure how you work that out,he has had some brilliant chances in games that he has fluffed.
He is not clinical ,but for all the complaints he has performed better than the other major centre forward signings .Outside of Kane and Aguero who is there in the premier league is world class?

Ructions is already doing that so you can stand down.

I think because in my mind the team is there to supply the striker to win matches. A simplistic view I guess but generally it's how games are won. If he is not being given chances to shoot on target and hence to score goals I would ask the question as to why?

My feeling is that he's actually more clinical than he appears. If I'm honest I can't recall all the chances he may have missed in those games, I've slept since then, but I do think that we could do more as a team to help Lukaku get more chances and hence score more.

I expect by the end of the season he will have scored 30 goals for us, which is a great return generally and easily justifies his purchase.

his misses the other night against seville are a prime example of how he is not clinical.If you play counter attack which seems to be jm's way at the moment you only get a couple of chances a game,he has missed big chances in several games this season,he is currently not a big game player.On the plus side..he is still pretty young and can improve this.
yes overall if he finishes 25-30 goals he has to be considered a success ,but he is along way from where we need him to be.

Thats a pretty potent sword-of-damocles you’re wielding lately

[m3sye]

I thought living abroad was suppose to chill you out... Gavia is one angry man....
Since when have Liverpool and utd fans not had a bit of friendly craic ?

[NRS]

Plus it's not just us saying it either - some of the people here have done so too.

I'm abroad if that helps on statistic calculations that could be done btw.

It's a forum Gavia you can't get rid of posters unless you're a mod. I'm sure the Liverpool boys will welcome you though.

He's st.

[ORD]

Not sure I would go that far. He has potential but he’s not there yet.

Sorry, but he's awful. Terrible movement, terrible control, and for someone so big, he wins nothing in the air. Waste of space. We'd be a much better side without him, and with Sanchez, martial or rashford up front.

[jammy-git]

He looks worse than he did at Everton. I'd say he's a Benteke or Andy Carrol, can play well when there's no pressure, but put him in a big club and confidence suffers and can't handle the responsibility.

If it's peace and quiet you're after you need to be on the West Brom thread.

Odd that the arguments seem to follow Gavia around. It's a mystery that we may never solve.
