With the current striker market, he's easily worth 100mil. Someone should snap him up. Preferably united.

Idk, Chelsea need a good veteran who can finish his chances, and City might want someone to back Haaland up

[–] ShimeBD@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

would love him at city. proper pep player

Given that their group didn't have a micro nation, they played 7.5 games and biggest win being 5-0 it's very impressive

[–] illimulli@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

as much as it hurts to say this, but in football world I feel Estonia is quite a micronation lol

[–] matske1209@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He is a world class striker, such a shame that his press shenanigans cast a big shadow over his career

[–] CherkiCheri@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He needs to perform on the biggest stages to be considered world class. Football talks more than pressers, good or bad.

[–] Ffaddicted@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You know, Chelsea could do with an experienced striker who can score goals

[–] cantona237@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He still plays like he is wearing jeans and Timberland's.

[–] MattARC@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Makes it all the more impressive that he scored 14 while playing in jeans & Timb's

Flat track bully

[–] LunarRaven7@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

This guy is the best and worst striker i have ever seen.

[–] GalaxianEX@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Schrödinger’s ace

[–] lospollosakhis@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He just consistently fails to deliver in big games but consistently scores in all the other games.

[–] FallinBackOnForever@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (4 children)

14 goals... Number of assists made by:

  • KDB: ZERO out of Fourteen

  • Hazard (E.): ZERO out of Fourteen

I remember when Manchester United fanboys in denial kept saying that the INSANE amount of goals scored for Belgium were due to the fact that Lukaku was in a team with Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne and every average striker could have scored tons of goals playing with those two.

Well congrats, you were right. Lukaku was the problem and it seems that Rashford Antony and Sancho have solved your scoring problems LOL ahahah

[–] lospollosakhis@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I mean he wasn’t exactly a starter for you guys last season and was a meme in the World Cup for Belgium and the UCL final for you guys.

[–] TheFranksterr@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He's been called bang average by well more than just United fans lmao. I'm happy for him to be back to his scoring best and he's always been a beast. That said a lot of the criticism around him is fair.

[–] enzuigiriretro@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Damn Inter fans still simping for Lukaku? It feels like 2020 again

[–] mixmaster7@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If anything he would have have an easier time scoring without De Bruyne.

[–] aeliustehman@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lukaku has gotten a lot of underserved stick throughout his career imo. He is a remarkably consistent finisher at a top level and yes, he can put his foot in his mouth a lot of the time. But also people who meme his finishing don’t seem to understand that even good players can have bad games in front of goal. He might not be a Kane or a Lewa but he will get you goals.

[–] StriveForBetter99@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Flat track bully

[–] GalaxianEX@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lukaku’s skills as a striker are a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma…

[–] zecira@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Look, I'll always have a soft spot for him after that Farhad Moshiri voodoo rumours bullshit. He's a pleasure to watch, and yeah he can put his foot in his mouth but I really appreciate how outspoken he's been about racism while playing in Serie A, because fuck knows this country needs to hear it. I rate him.

Also ngl I love this street mural of him in Rome

[–] wank_for_peace@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Man now wants to be paid.

[–] PinkFluffys@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Without him our attack is so much worse. People always said he was carried by having Hazard and De Bruyne in the team, but we manage quite well without them.
Without Lukaku we are terrible.

[–] bartolo10@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Mad to think that despite playing for fucking Poland, Lewandowski held the Euros qualifiers record and still holds the World cup qualifiers record

[–] inthezoneautozone12@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Truly world class at international level.

[–] Lustful-chan@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I like Lukaku because he's great finisher, tall and strong.
It is what you want in most strikers, but for fucks sake, why does he make sure people hate him.

It is hard to to like someone that does want to respect any team and fans he has played for.
