I wanted rashford as part of the lukaku deal. Why does the fact that I said I would pay £120m for Greenwood invalidate that??? Greenwood is going to be better than rashford. He is going to be one of the best strikers in the world and an England record breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With eriksen gone and Kane playing they lost 1 out of 9...... with Kane scoring at a higher rate than he had in any season. More statistical analysis than motd Pete ...

From the main English-language Inter forum (these quotes are about Conte): and with conte out, we can sell lukaku Please go to Man Utd and take Lukaku with you, thanks. Holy shit, if he leaves he better takes Lukaku with him, I dont think any other coach would be patient with this guy. we aren't going to sack him. So if he leaves, that's on him. If that's how he feels, good fucking riddance then, quitter. Have fun managing Everton when carlo leaves because no big team will want you now and take fucking Lukaku with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet again, when the game gets to a high level with high stakes he looks a shadow of the player he is against the cannon fodder. Like a man United fan said on talk sport.... if you played bottom half teams every week you would have him no question. A player who can only be played half the time cos he can't do it against good sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion is that Carlo has a huge job to change the dynamic and mindset of our team. Far too many players already who stroll around to have a goalscorer who doesn't close down defenders and goes Missing in big games. He is a finisher.... no question but against better sides he has no cutting edge. Unfortunately for him many inter fans seem to have seen through his goals and see that he struggles to impact big games. They haven't won a trophy in 9 years and that loss will sting. I think the missed penalty in the super cup for Chelsea impacted him.... always seems to bottle it on the biggest games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The England rugby team got roasted for taking their world cup runners up medals off straight after ceremony and apologised. I wouldn't mind if he actually played the game like losing would hurt.... His off the ball work was pathetic. ESPN did a piece on him - in key moments in key matches he struggles. He had chances against Barcas B team in the champs league group stage - bottled them and Barca went through. Hit it at the keeper from 4 yards..... Against Juve in the 6 pointers..... nowhere to be seen. Martin Samuel cut through a the recent guff about him:- Lukaku isn't proving his critics wrong, it's a confidence trick! Romelu Lukaku is a confidence player. His goals come in streaks. In the 2017-18 season he scored 16 times in his first 13 games for Manchester United and Belgium. Then he scored one in 12; then three in four; then none in four; then 11 in 15; then one in six. He got six goals in his first three games for Belgium that summer, then drew a blank in four. Next season, more of the same: seven goals in seven games for club and country, and then two in 14 both in the same game. He got five in eight, then none in nine; six in three, then none in eight. So it is not entirely true to say Lukaku is proving his critics wrong with Inter Milan. Rather, he has found a league that works for him, where a good striker with a big club will never be too far away from a fixture that restores his self-belief. In Italy, Lukaku has found equilibrium and his scoring is more consistent. This season he has not gone more than three games without a goal — but also hasn’t scored more than three games in succession. It is no longer feast or famine. Italy clearly suits a player of his temperament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So on the basis that Inter lost the UEFA cup and got beaten to the league, and got knocked out in group stages..... we have a consistent trend showing. Eriksen played a part in his 2 clubs failing in Europe 2 years in a row..... they lost to Liverpool in the final, then lost in uefa cup final. Gueye? Well you said he got villa relegated and couldn't be a good player..... you may recall that embarrassing one.... after all it's the stick that's beating you now Eriksen leaves spurs and they score more goals than with him in the side and climb up the league and Harry Kane blasts 7 goals in 9 games..... looks like he and Rom are well suited. Would eriksen have improved Everton with Rom in the side.... yes. I'm not a complete dickhead..... I certainly recognised that Harry Kane would have been an improvement on DCL - you would have to remind me who said he wouldn't. You've just been trumped. No small hands though.... just a smart arse.
