..................
Good for you. You are wrong as the stats prove.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How? I said he had a good start. 11 in his first 10. Would you say 16 and his next 41 games is a good season overall.
Good start but not a good season imo.

He scored 27 goals in that season in which we won two trophies. Lukaku had a good season. Deal with it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
We won nothing that season. He had a good start and was bang average after the 1st 10 games. 15 in 41 is not good enough for a striker that didn’t offer a huge deal other than goals.
My bad. He still scored 27 goals. How you deduce that as poor beggars belief.
Wazza only beat that amount twice.
Lukaku wasnt terrible for us anyway. In the games against the bottom 14 clubs he was dynamite. The games against the big teams he and the team were just not good enough though.
He will do well for Chelsea. Don't care now. We got Mason Cavani and the goat. We don't need him.

Didn’t he score like a goal every other game at utd? Not sure that’s poor even if he had a ropey first touch.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No he didn’t and for a £75 million striker you’d expect more than 1 in 2 anyway.
He scored 11 in his first 10 game. After that he only scored 31 in his next 86 games.
It wasn’t an ideal set up at United but he wasn’t good enough end of story.

41 in 86 is basically 1 in 2 you donut and I bet you not all those appearances were starts

well he scored 35 goals in 6249 minutes of european and premier league football which equates to 1 in every 178.54 minutes so it was under 1 every other game.
Also “Inter pulled me out of sh*t”? could well mean his own sh*t?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good info. So basically process is wrong. He scored above 1 in 2
Bit sensitive this
Im sure the majority of your fellow fans dont care here
I think we have to look at who the manager was - Mourinho is a conservative coach and Lukaku still managed nearly 1 in 2. If you look at Drogba, who in my opinion was a fabulous striker, he got a lower average - again, mainly being coached by Mourinho. In fact, under Ancelotti, who played expansive football, he got 29 in 32 league games.
Now, I don't believe Lukaku is as good as Drogba but he's certainly not a donkey. The problem he has is that he is multi-faceted and is often used as a battering ram or to hold up play. He's much more than that, he can run in behind and is quite fast for a big man.
The other thing is that in the current market, who could Chelsea get? Haaland wants 800k a week, Kane wants City and Spurs won't sell to Chelsea anyway, Lewandowski is 32 and costs too much for his age - who was better? Who else suits the pragmatism of Tuchel more? If he scores 15-20 a season and Chelsea improve, it will have been a good purchase.

Eric the whole drogba scoring thing is actually a bit of a myth. The guy actually has a very credible goals to minute ratio in the pl. people go by how he only scored 20 1 or 2 seasons ignoring injuries, Acon and how he was a sub a lot when he first came

I couldn't bare to watch Lukaku struggling to do the basics of football, glad he left and not bothered about him joining Chelsea.
Watched him against Liverpool, absolute buffoon just as he was at United, terrible ball control, terrible touch. Hilarious really - he's done well for himself considering.
I mean he left the ball behind him twice. Other than that his touch has been very good. But still not forgotten how it was at utd so I’m waiting with baited breathe. Will he be like it was those two times or will it be like his other really good hold up play? We will soon find out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
My point is he was never the most prolific but he was always involved and scared and battered the opposition defences. Lukaku will be expected to link up play, hold the ball up for runs from Werner/Havertz/Mount. I am expecting 10 assists from him this season too.

Didn’t he score like a goal every other game at utd? Not sure that’s poor even if he had a ropey first touch.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No he didn’t and for a £75 million striker you’d expect more than 1 in 2 anyway.
He scored 11 in his first 10 game. After that he only scored 31 in his next 86 games.
It wasn’t an ideal set up at United but he wasn’t good enough end of story.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
well he scored 35 goals in 6249 minutes of european and premier league football which equates to 1 in every 178.54 minutes so it was under 1 every other game.
Also “Inter pulled me out of sh*t”? could well mean his own sh*t?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good info. So basically process is wrong. He scored above 1 in 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Take out the honeymoon period and it’s miles away from what you would expect from a 75 million striker. Dress it up how you like.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I dress it up as 1 in 2…because that’s what it is lol live with ur head in the sand all u like
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Statistically overall it was an ok season. Take out the 1st 10 games it was poor.
I’m sure he’ll do better at Chelsea but he wasn’t good enough at United.

I think we have to look at who the manager was - Mourinho is a conservative coach and Lukaku still managed nearly 1 in 2. If you look at Drogba, who in my opinion was a fabulous striker, he got a lower average - again, mainly being coached by Mourinho. In fact, under Ancelotti, who played expansive football, he got 29 in 32 league games.
Now, I don't believe Lukaku is as good as Drogba but he's certainly not a donkey. The problem he has is that he is multi-faceted and is often used as a battering ram or to hold up play. He's much more than that, he can run in behind and is quite fast for a big man.
The other thing is that in the current market, who could Chelsea get? Haaland wants 800k a week, Kane wants City and Spurs won't sell to Chelsea anyway, Lewandowski is 32 and costs too much for his age - who was better? Who else suits the pragmatism of Tuchel more? If he scores 15-20 a season and Chelsea improve, it will have been a good purchase.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric the whole drogba scoring thing is actually a bit of a myth. The guy actually has a very credible goals to minute ratio in the pl. people go by how he only scored 20 1 or 2 seasons ignoring injuries, Acon and how he was a sub a lot when he first came
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My point is he was never the most prolific but he was always involved and scared and battered the opposition defences. Lukaku will be expected to link up play, hold the ball up for runs from Werner/Havertz/Mount. I am expecting 10 assists from him this season too.
