Just another example of Mourinho not trusting a player under the age of 35!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree with the likes of Salah and KDB, but Rom wasn't good enough and i sussed out that much on his debut vs Norwich.

Mou has made 2 pretty big decisions on Lukaku, and thankfully he made the right one with us and the wrong one at United.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Again here the point is not, 'Is he good enough', but rather was he better than the other options available to us at the time.

While he was out on loan at 1st WBA and then at Everton he consistently outscored them with inferior sides.

As I said - it's not just a question of how good Lukaku was - but how good he was in relation to other options available to us at the time!

Faie enough, the 1 thing i will challenge however is second paragraph, as Ba was doing that too

Tbh looking back im not sure why we actually signed him as he was the total opposite to the other young players we signed at the time, were we duped by his video on the Stamford Bridge tour? Which i get more and more convinced was as act as time goes on.

My main concern with Ba, was that if he didn't score, he didn't have any other major influence in the game. I'd often forget he was playing.

To justify his inclusion, given his lack of any regular meaningful influence, he needed to score every game - he didn't!

Sorry to disagree - but he didn't impress me!

You don't need to apologize, this is what places like this are about. What i meant is he was scoring goals at an impressive rate for WHU and Newcastle like Rom was doing at Albion and Everton, which is why i was never took in by his goals. Not just Ba- Benteke, Carroll, Bent, Crouch for example were also serial scorers at 7th-20th rated teams but that never translated to success when they stepped up to top four/title clubs.

I personally believe (like them) he will be back at somewhere like Everton by 2020/21, the next United manager will likely be an attacking/technical one, meaning they will sign someone new or play Martial up top, and Lukaku will have to accept super sub or leave.

I completely agree with Nick about Demba Ba.Demba Ba was not as bad as some people would have us believe and he did OK in limited starts for Chelsea.

I don't discount Costa's role in him leaving the club but as a player he is top drawer. There were games last year when he pulled us out of the mire. He also scored many winning goals, goals that gave us points or a point. He is better at holding up play then he's given credit for on here and had a fantastic understanding with Hazard. I miss him the player not the man.

Take it all back about bats. Crap

I bought some ETH recently, doubled in value in about 10 days! BTC can feck off, the fees are ridiculous and transfers so slow now.
