I think we needn't worry too much about Lukaku unless he starts to score more than he misses. The bigger worry with Lukaku might be trying to get our money back if we get someone better in. It's funny that him, Morata and Lacazette were the three huge deals in the PL that summer for 3 teams that desperately needed a striker. Lukaku has been a mixed bag, whilst the other two have pretty much been undeniable failures (though I think Lacazette still has hope). All three were supposed to be game-changers but none have been. Lacazette has started to get a few starts under the new manager and has scored a few goals. Wouldn't surprise me if he had a really good season. |

Like I said, he still has hope and time (unlike Morata who just has to go), but I find it hard to look at the first year and a bit he's had there and declare it as anything other than a failure. |

Not disputing that. Just a comment on how I think he'll do this season. Although 14 goals in 26 starts in the league last season isn't too bad. Then you look at Lukaku who only scored 16 in 33 starts. |

Isn't he Lukaku's agent too?
If only he was then we'd have an excuse to get rid of him too. But no, as mighty said, he's supposedly dropped Raiola and is with Jay Z now. From one rich fugly to another. |

I'm pretty sure some ITK journo clarified this at the time, he's apparently still with Raiola, but moved some of his marketing shit to Jay Z's agency. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember being disappointing when I read that.  |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember being disappointing when I read that. There was a report in April from calciomercato.com that he had left Raiola not sure how reliable that source is though. Some sites still list Lukaku as his client. Just saw that Romero is a raiola client too so we wouldn't be completely done with him anyways. |

I thought that was for Image rights?
Oh snap maybe you are right. However I haven’t heard of any links with him and Raiola since the roc nation sign up |

Roc Nation are Lukaku's agents encompassing all of his matters last I checked. He explicitly dropped Raiola.

Roc Nation are Lukaku's agents encompassing all of his matters last I checked. He explicitly dropped Raiola. Mino Raiola, according to several takes, doesn’t keep his clients on contracts. If ever they want to leave, it’s as simple as that, go and get a new agent. And so it’s been assumed this week that Romelu Lukaku has left the Italian, with the Manchester United striker confirming a new relationship with Roc Nation, something which had been rumoured for some months. But it may not be as simple as Lukaku swapping Raiola for Roc. On the face of it, Roc Nation aren’t known to represent footballers in huge transfers, but rather to market them off the pitch. This could be a new path they’re taking, and where better to start than with a Manchester United player, but it may also be something completely different. At Sport Witness we’ve done some digging, contacted Raiola and his assistants, and are yet to have a definitive reply either way. Over in Belgium, Het Nieuwsblad believe the new relationship doesn’t end the Raiola link, saying: ‘The deal with Roc Nation Sports is purely about his commercial interests on the other side of the pond.’ Perhaps it’s odd that if Raiola continues to be Lukaku’s agent, it hasn’t been made clear, but then it would be no surprise if the Netherlands born representative is teeing things up for another ‘bla, bla, bla’ moment. - This was the last I read on the matter. |

I wonder if that's why as stories today suggest the friendship with Pogba has cooled to what it was when he signed? Doesn't want to get involved in the Raiola circus ? Donnarumma is another client who got himself a new deal after being linked elsewhere. He's a kid in goalkeeper terms. It was a messy affair and it sounds like he was pushing the player to move away and he let rip at the treatment towards him and his client afterwards.Demanding apologises and everything! Pogba is so getting played by this guy to line his pockets and is not seeing the bigger picture. |

Did you forget that Lacazette was injured and had knee surgery last term? 14 goals plus knee surgery. |

So most importantly who are we going to get to replace pogba? I’d let Andreas play and chuck the Pogba fee at DDG, begging him to sign a new long-term contract |

Has anyone actually left under Jose bar blind??Carrick retired,zlatan did what was expected..
