Since when can you move twice in one window?

You can move as many times as you want in a window; though you can not play for 3 different clubs in one calendar year. That was why Lukaku didn't go on loan to Stoke the year we signed him - he had played for Anderlecht and Chelsea, thus couldn't play again.

in my eyes ibra is the best out and out striker there is, the man is pure class, i would genuinely consider our chances to be improved ten fold if we signed him!

He could move, but he wouldn't be allowed to play. So I would take those rumours with a salt-shakers worth of salt rather than just a pinch. Seems like a load of hearsay rather than anything substantial.

Anyway, just been able to watch the highlights as I was out when the game was on. The first half looked incredible; the passing was fast and direct, some of the team play was great, and Oscar looked as effective as he does for Brazil. Really feel like he has the most natural talent out of any player in our squad.

His nutmeg assist for Oscar today was also pretty :coma:

Ramires didn't have an utterly awful game either. Apparently De Rossi may be on the move again as well, if we get him, regardless of whether we get another striker, then we really can compete for the league imo. And if we got him I'd be slightly more optimistic for the Supercup too.

I don't think we have a striker issue tbh. If Falcao had come on in the 75th minute like Lukaku he wouldn't have scored either with the way we were playing at that point. If Lukaku had started I'm sure he'd have scored, I say stick with him

Lukaku should start tbh in less than 1min he made a good opportunity for Schurlle to score and his direct threat is better than torres running into a wall of defenders while Hull are rubbish they're going to put their guys behind the ball and torres has to get past a wall of defenders which ain't his style

Anyway I think terry should partner ivan for this game and we play on the counter deep line defending as van persie will find gaps otherwise and a high line against united is suicide with welbeck kagawa nani antonio. I believe we would get a 1-1 draw though tbh and we should play 1 of schurlle/moses then eden and mata for the threat on the counter. I feel the wingbacks are united weakest point defensively so a winger who is likely to go out wide like moses and work hard defending will be good for us and we get eden on the touchline. Lukaku will hold up the ball and with his pace will hit the team on the counter too

We should've been like 5-0 up at half time plus a blatant penalty denied in the second half. Created so much

Once we went 2-0 after the first half an hour we let the game open up more. Hull didn't look like scoring, had we played with the same high intensity we did for the first half an hour for longer we could have scored more, but at the cost of tiring out our players, many of which had played an international midweek fixture and we've got Villa on Wednesday and United and Bayern next week. Makes far more sense to secure a comfortable 2-0 win than tire out your players on the first day of the season pushing for a large win.

It was a great performance but I'm just suggesting it be put into context..

When you do that against a side like Villa/Everton/Southampton/West Ham or away from home, then I'd be more excited about the attacking football etc.

Hull will make a lot of teams look like Barcelona this season..
