We have an okay-ish record against top teams for the past couple of years, its lower teams that we find hard to score against. I'm skeptical about Lukaku but he is a flat track bully but thats totally what we need right now.
Exactly..he will help in hopefully stopping 2nd tier teams drawing in OT ..like last season

What an absolute legend the guy has been. To me, for a small amount of time near the 2012 season he was the best player in the world..better than Messi and Ronaldo. He was that freaking good for those 4-5 months. Otherwise a 20 + goal scorers for all seasons he was at united. I had a life size rooney poster in my bedroom from the cover of fifa 12 I think it was...gonna miss this guy

60m pounds. What is the world coming to
PL clubs can pay that much because of the TV deals, clubs from other leagues know it which result in ridiculous amounts.

Sab chor...what about : [h=2] PSG close to paying £196 million for Neymar[/h]

interesting read

Manchester United's academy made the single biggest contribution to last season's Premier League of any youth set-up, a Press Association Sport study has found.
Their graduates racked up more than twice as many top-flight minutes played as the next best academy.

Players who finished their youth careers in the United academy were on the field for a total of 44,055 minutes in the study. Tottenham were second, with a total of 21,668.

The Red Devils' reputation for developing home-grown talent extends back to the "Busby Babes" of the 1950s and continued through the "Class of '92" group which played a part in the United side that dominated domestic football in the 1990s and won the treble in 1999.
The study, using publicly available data, shows that the United academy is still the number one producer of top-flight talent in England.
In their own line-up, France midfielder Paul Pogba -- who re-joined United last summer in an £89 million deal -- racked up 2,609 minutes while England internationals Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard played 1,702 and 1,367 minutes respectively.
Other non-United players to make significant contributions to the Red Devils academy total included Burnley duo Michael Keane and Tom Heaton, who each played 3,150 minutes. England defender Keane has since joined Everton.
Bournemouth striker Joshua King played 2,721 minutes, while Leicester pair Danny Simpson (2,990) and Danny Drinkwater (2,466) were also key to the high total for United.
Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross played 3,150 minutes while relegated Sunderland used five United academy products during the season -- John O'Shea, Donald Love, Paddy McNair, Darron Gibson and Adnan Januzaj. West Brom duo Jonny Evans (2,638) and Darren Fletcher (3,235) also came through the United system.

[MENTION=4177]NaNoW[/MENTION] we both know PSG ain't paying that, realize that buyout clause incurs tax aswell which IIRC is 100-120% in Spain. So effectively invoking Ney's clause would cost PSG around 450-500m. Yeah I'm not buying that

I still don't think it would happen. But if he does leave for psg who would barca replace him with?

yeah, I would put him leaving on 15% ..but the fact that we are even discussing this..and that his nearly 200 million pound clause can be trigger is mindblowing

The infusion of money or should I say sugar daddy money is ruining football. Clubs had to earn it before, now some oil tycoon can take over and start inflating the market like its a fucking balloon.
