Lukaku is a bit shit isn’t he

I'm surprised. Seems like the type of striker you would rate, honestly.

“Winks. He’s going to unleash here…”

 

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I mean, Lukaku is miles better than someone like Bamford.

[Bjornebye]

This doesn't look good

Maybe in Serie A, but he needs to show it in the PL.

You are aware that Lukaku has 130 premier league goals?

[Anubis]

Sir Harold of Kane whining about correct decisions. Don’t they know who he is?

[manwiththestick]

Poor Harry Claim, picked the ball up twice for pens only to be overturned then  gets a goal ruled out for offside.

 

Still no trophy.

[manwiththestick]

In the other game Jarrod Bowen with a couple more goals, seems to be getting more prolific these days.

I wouldn't mind him at Liverpool but not as Salahs replacement.

[Harry Squatter]

Chelsea it is then. Hopefully get past Arsenal and beat them in the final. We owe them a beating in a domestic final.

Didn't say much when they made a complete fucking pig's ear of officiating on the same ground about a month ago.

[Anubis]

Another important game Sir Harold has taken by the scruff of the neck and been hugely influe… …oh, no, that’s somewhere else in the Multiverse.

More accurate?

DAZN on the verge of buying BT Sport for £580m according to breaking reports.

Looks like a domestic guvnor.

 

Yes, well overdue.

That sounds fairly cheap? How much did BT fork out for Premier league & champions league coverage?

I reckon my £7.99 subscription might go up to at least a tenner if they throw football in.

Jarrod Bowen is really good, pity we didn't make him this seasons Jota. Ship has sailed now, he would cost twice what he would have in the summer.

[Megadrive Man]

Bowen is under contract until 2025 so probably looking at around 60 to 70 million now, unless he has a release cause. 

 

I still can't decide if he is good enough to play at the very top level or if he is better off staying at West Ham.

[polymerpunkah]

 My DAZN subscription runs out soon. $20 CAD/month or $150/year (11.5/90 pounds).

 

Don't know whether to sign up for another year or not, as their contract to show the Prem ends this May.

 

But if they buy BT, presumably that would put them in pole position to get the Canadian rights as well.

 

But if they don't I'll've spent $90 to watch women's CL football and snooker (and I haven't watched the snooker since Bill Werbeniuk died). 

Fuck it, I'll go monthly to the end of the CL season, cancel, then rebuy for a year in August if they do get the Prem.

 

The subscription isn't bad: all the Prem matches and most if not all the CL matches; quality is okay, and they allow you to watch the matches on demand for a few days after.

He has. Clueless or just a wum. I can never decide.

It is honestly hard to tell. As you say, he'd be too expensive now and he's probably ultimately a level lower than what we should be looking at, but when you watch him play, he shows really good things. He's got some really impressive finishes, he seems to have an eye for a pass and good vision and he's tenacious and strong enough physically. If we had him in the Minamino spot, we'd be in a great position. I don't know if I'd want him in the starting 11 very often, though.
