https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/lukaku-cannot-wait-get-mourinho-fired Hard hitting investigative journalism at its finest. “I see myself as the rock upon which our attacks will founder and break up,” [Lukaku said]. “I will develop several niggling injuries, a weight problem and chronic positional indiscipline, to fill the gap left by Wayne Rooney."
In that case only a dumbass manager would be stupid enough to waste money on pointlessly expensive players when you can get equally good players for a fraction of the price.
Must have missed something, cos I found it satirically entertaining - particularly as the basic premise of Mourinho pissing on Lukaku's earlier career has legs.....
Didn't take long for the Two Minutes Hate from the most defensive of Manc supporters to start, did it? Can't help but notice the bloke's location in relation to Manchester...
So to complete the analogy : 1. great "managers" of their weekly shopping basket they are not. 2. easily deceived by poncey wrapping.
Man Utd: We want to buy Lukaku Everton: He's not for sale. MU: We really, really want to buy him E: He's not for sale MU: We weally, weally, weally, weally, weally, weally want to buy him. Now. And those nasty Spaniards won't sell us Morata. Or Ronaldo. E: What's he worth? £40M?.......That's £120M to you. In cash. MU; Aw, you're just being mean. Give you £80M. E: £90M. Take it or or leave it. MU: We'll take it. Oh, hang on, we've only got £75M now. But we get our pocket money in two weeks, so we'll pay the rest then. Ok? We get loads of pocket money Isn't that how the negotations went for Lukaku.... And Pogba. And Di Maria
He quite close to being on the opposite side of the world. Not far from Torquay. This one: please log in to view this image
Hear about the Gooner fan who promised to get a tatt of his favourite player if Lacazette joined the Scum...... seems his favourite player is Darren Bent!!
Bayern face Arsenal today in a pre season friendly. That's a thoughtful gesture, given that they won't be seeing eachother in the CL.
Chelsea agree a fee for Morata. Interesting move that - a quality player but one who has been starved of regular action since very stupidly listening to whoever told him that a move back to a team who had added Bale and James to their front line since his initial departure would be a sound idea. Big lad with a surprising turn of pace and comfortable with either foot. Doesn't seem to bully defences like Costa does though. So, Terry gone, Costa going. Get rid of Hazard and I might stop spitting every time I mention chelsea.
Would take a feckin' lot more than that... Fabregas is still there for one thing!! But just looking at who the Chavs have brought in this window alone is enough to keep spitting!! Morata costing £60m and hardly gets a mention....
