That sucks.
Very happy with the signing of Lukaku especially as i thought the deal was off. To be fair i just comparred him to Drogba and that was wrong, yes they lad has all the attributes Didier has but the man is lightning quick too which is something Didier is not. Really looking forward to seeing him play and after watching today i wouldnt be sad to see Anelka leave.
And Lukaku isn't as good in the air, but that can change, if he works on it.
Well thats just it mate isent it, he has years to work on his Drogba like attributes but he has something that Drogba couldnt learn and thats lightning pace.
Well, Drogba isn't exactly slow, but I agree.
Oh he isent slow i know that but he was more powefull than pacey, Lukaku seems to have both aspects and is still learning.
Lukaku... 'Lightning pace'? What on earth, if you watch some games he is quicker than Drogba but lightning is pushing it. He is good in the air as well, Anderlecht always hoof it up to his chest. Just needs to improve his heading, his shooting and movement is sublime. Think he's an absolutely brilliant signing just hope we can move Anelka on somehow.
I genuinely think he can be better than Drogba but my worry is, he's this good at 18 come 10 years time he might be another Michael Owen.. Obviously they're different players and Lukaku hasn't shown he's injury prone but can someone play at the top for 12 years??
Probably putting too much pressure on him but I thought I'd share my thoughts.

Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Del Piero, Cannavarro, Zanetti ... Owen's the exception, mainly from injuring himself every 2nd week.
Lots of players have played at the top for over 12 years, Michael Owen probably would have if he wasn't so injury prone.
Ok maybe my point was flawed and I suppose if he's as good as any of those players 18m will be a bargain.
He'll never be a Scholes, Giggs, Del Piero. :wub::Wub:
Another decade+ of Drogba isn't too bad though.
If Neymars worth £40m then I think this Lukaku deal is a steal. Unique talent and in 3 years time I can see him being a world beater. We can't afford to think 'what if he gets injured' because the guy is a pure athlete. Can't see this in any negative light, Moutinho, Pjanic and Bastos and I'll be happy. I
I totally forgot about Neymar and his 40m price tag. Lukaku is a bargain at 18m without comparing it to 40m Neymar. I think we beat Madrid on that front..

If he justifies what he can do in FM I'll be happy.
