You mean last season, the most current season when Everton were a much better team and he's developed further as a player as he matures? Yep lets ignore that. Excluding last season then, do the two remaining goals he's scored against the top 6 clubs include the hat-trick he got for WBA against Man United in SAF's last game? Looks like Lukaku is this season's Harry Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armand 2 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I think Lukaku is a potentially title-winning signing for United. He's a flat track bully and United laboured against many mid-to-lower placed teams last season. You would expect Lukaku to bag 20+ and I think they'll go close this season even without any further additions. If Spurs can keep last season's team together (with the exception of Walker), I think they'll be well placed again - starting to think it's a case of 'always the bridesmaid, never the bride' though. There's increasing scope on a simmering unrest at Chelsea - I thought they would be certainties to sign Lukaku and I think Conte did too. I think it'll be interesting to see how the Costa incident impacts on team morale. He was/is a popular character in the dressing room and it certainly didn't seem like Conte handled it in the best way. I don't think Guardiola has addressed the fact that his City team is built on sand and neither has Klopp. Lacazette should make a difference for Arsenal but it seems like he'll only be replacing the goals of Giroud who has been rumoured to be exit-bound - I suspect they'll be typical Arsenal again. Will be interesting to see how Everton gel their new look team together, certainly spared no expense constructing it. If they can break into the top 6, it'll have been a successful season - suspect Arsenal and Liverpool will be the teams on their radar. At the other end, Watford were one of the worst teams I saw last season and could count themselves very fortunate not to have finished in the bottom three; without Deeney, they were abysmal. I think Chalobah is a cracking bit of business especially if they've gotten him for as little as quoted in the media but they'll need more than that. Silva got a lot of plaudits at Hull, and they weren't entirely misplaced, but when the going got tough, his team bottled it. With Burnley losing Keane and it looking likely that they'll also lose Gray, it might be a tough slog for them. If Swansea lose Sigurdsson, that could spell trouble for them too. Brighton will inevitably be in the mire as well. Huddersfield will struggle badly, I expect. Still find it remarkable that a team with a negative goal difference won promotion. Not convinced that the players they've signed so far are suddenly going to give them an influx of attacking flair. Ince is a handy player at Championship level but got it all to prove in the Premier.

Bully Wee Villa Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I like the new West Brom season ticket. Understated, has a touch of class, fits neatly in the pocket, has a picture of a Stoke player on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does nothing but promote the bigot brothers and I doubt he knows who the other 40 clubs are. He actually defended people being 90 minute bigots as it brought so much tot he Scottish game. Brazil and the planets thickest man, Micky Quinn, together is the under-class of radio broadcasting. Thank God there's Absolute Radio and FourExtra. Anyway, City's ticket problems are well documented but they've done, in theory, what is a great idea and put tickets for every game for the season on sale. It should allow you to plan ahead with everything and sit back and relax. However the kick off times are listed as Saturday 3pm which obviously makes buying tickets in advance a non-starter.

Swordfishtrombone Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Alan Brazil is a simpleton with no knowledge about Scottish Football. The only reason to listen to Talk sport is Hawksbee and Jacobs. Danny Kelly is far too intelligent and considered for that station too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
