Would physically annihilate La Liga defenders with his strength and pace.

He's the closest thing to Haaland Barca will get. Exact same player profile.

Oh, would he now?

La Liga is quite a defensive league, actually, not so much space in most games.
Maybe in the right team he would score 20 or something, but i doubt it.

Serious Question: If this was the Lukaku before this season in question what would your reaction be??

Just after a cracking season at Inter...

He joined United, flopped and went to a weaker league - SerieA. He leaves Inter to join Chelsea back in the PL and he flops once again.. also has the audacity to flirt with Inter saying he misses them :lol: Like Memphis at Lyon, he found his level, he's not and never will be cut out for a top club.

Sure, Barca aren't at a great level currently but signing or even loaning a player like Lukaku is a waste of time. His first touch borders on hilarious, something that won't sit well at Barca. Couldn't give a shit if he's some 'physical beast', La liga will totally expose his flaws.

I think Lukaku is a great player even though he flopped at Chelsea now. Last season we saw how good he can play if he has the right coach/system. He and Ronaldo were the best players of the league and Ronaldo still plays good so why shouldnt Lukaku be able to play at least on that level? At Inter or Belgium his coach knew how to use him and he performed. Anyways, he doesnt seem to be the player which Barca needs.

Lukaku has performed in EPL before, but not really in a system for top teams.
As for Serie A, well, Immobile looks like Lewandowski there, and yet average everytime he steps outside of Italy.

I don't think he's has bad as some say, but he clearly needs a coach & system that is tailor made to play to his strengths.

If you are a 100 mill signing, in your prime age, you are supposed to perform, not score meme-worthy 5 goals in over 20 appearances.

He us without any doubt, the worst signing of the season along with Grealish.

Chelsea attackers don't score.

Havertz cost like 70m as well and he has brought like 10 PL goals in 2 seasons. If he didn't score in CL final people would be calling him a flop too.

Lukaku has to score though, cause he barely contribute to anything else.
Havertz is a better signing by far.

Lukaku is okay at holdup given the ball is on the ground. He can use his strength to get potential runners like Ferran and Dembele into the game.

He's a pretty good poacher and can feast on cutbacks and get into positions for tapins. On the counter, he's deadly even as a ball carrier.

Will be curious to watch him in this Barca team. Can go either way but would be fascinating ngl.

Meanwhile, the big mouth Cassano has threatened to stop watching Barca if they get Lukaku.

Well Antonio, no one cares. Big Rom to Barca. :barcaflag:
