Yeah true, he was a good player but is massive now, no need for it.

Last season or the one before Joe Gomez came back built like a body builder klopp said, and told him such he's since trimmed down thee muscle in the wrong places

SSN ticker is showing Lukaku's fee at £65m and £12m in add-ons.

So, £65m it is then. :biggrin:

Still a mad price for an overweight out of form striker.

Put him on a diet and in a team that plays balls through and over the top for him and he'd be effective again imo.

I said when he went to United that he might be less effective, as he’s at his best when playing on the counter, put the ball in front of him and his pace and strength meant there was few who could live him, plus he could finish with aplomb more often than not.

His hold up play improved dramatically when he was working daily with Big Dunc, but he seems to have gone backwards in that regard of late imo.

Barkley did the same with us in his last year or so, he was gassed after an hour. He lost that bulk last season and looked and played much better for it.

Yeh it was after the bulk loss Gomez got in the side properly and began the vvd partnership that went so well until his injury.

His speed is his biggest asset at the moment.
 
Lukaku showed his true colours leaking training data on social media for likes, the fat useless ****er. It’ll be nice if we meet Inter at some point this season, or next, give Rojo a chance to get some minutes under his belt.

But of a bittersweet thing luiz going.

Because hes got stupid hair and drops so very bad clangers he gets unfairly maligned in the press when hes actually a pretty decent defender and an even better passer.

Hes much better defensively than when he first joined although still prone to diving in but hes also a really good leader.

20m seems good for someone who could have moved for free this summer (he only signed a new contract) and i really shudder to think what christensen and zouma will be like (not necessarily bad defenders but both arent leaders im my book). Think arsenal will do okay with him.

Also achieved a lot with us, one cl, 2 europys, a pl and 2 fa cups.

Good luck david

Some reports saying we're only paying £8m for him. If that's true that's a ****ing steal. I know he's prone to dropping the odd clanger, but we're used to that at Arsenal <whistle> Luiz is though, and has been through his career a proper ball playing CB, who is very mobile and able to play the ball out of defence and link up with the MF. Something we've been lacking since Holding got injured.

There's not a lot of love for this move from Arsenal fans generally. But I'd be well happy with Luiz for a year or two and then bring in Saliba next year. Our defence has lacked a leader for years, and Luiz would fit the bill perfectly.
