Lukaku has over 30 goals last season
He is already on track this season

This looks like another fake news from CNN...
Re: Lukaku Set For Shock Move To Manchester City by Adakintroy: 6:36pm On Jan 17, 2021
Those are just speculations.

That's not guardiola type of striker.

He is forcefull no doubt but his intelligence overall is not at par with a guardiola am afraid.

The only way I see him going that direction is due to reason the world is generally short if strikers.

But he is not prolific enough and I have not seen much improvement in his play since his man u. Days. No disrespect to the serial A., It's more or less old people league or Europe elites rejection camp.

Won't be a bad fit...

If he gets his first touch fully sorted out, he will be winning golden boot yearly with Debruyne in that midfield.

You know very well Lukaku is not a player with that "world class first touch" ... He is a very good striker but that hold up play, and creative forward tag is not his thing, let them not expect him to replace Sergio Aguero overnight

This is quite true...

However, a good coach just needs to find a way around his weakness and major on his strengths (finishing).

Lukaku is quite handy for aerial duels and crosses (set pieces and open play).

True... City is better off with Haaland, Depay, or Danny Ings.

If he knows wht's best for him he should avoid premier league for now!
They don't appreciate strikers and are quick to heap insults nd shades for any slight lack of performance.

If only pogba will also commot man U.
These teams destroy players!!

Look at Sanchez now vs in the premier league
Pogba before in Serie A vs now in the premier league
Lukaku now vs when he was in the premier league
Look at Ozil in laliga vs now in arsenal.

Many more screwed over players.
There is a certain type of play each league has nd not evry player can easily adopt to the change.

E.g hazard in Chelsea (PL) vs in real madrid(Laliga)
Luka jovic in Bundesliga vs now in laliga

If i was Lukaku's manager, i will advise him against this move. He is doing great at Inter and he's fast becoming a "We can't do without" striker there. Coming to Man city will surely affect his performance.
Or maybe not.

Lukaku can’t fit into Pep’s playing style. He can’t trap ball and make good passes

You definitely have seen him play on a regular basis in the last one year.

He's the guy that holds up inter's forward play now.

Yeah because he is strong, he wins aerial duels easily, contrary to his size, he is very fast so he is really good at open play, and lastly he is a good finisher... He fits inters style of play Currently.

However Lukaku is not a target man, he simply lacks that first touch to be a classic target man and that's where strikers like even Olivier Giroud or Morata are better than Lukaku, they are classic target forwards with very good first touch and capable of holding play and creating linkup(why do you think coaches love playing Giroud despite the fact he is slower than a slug?... because his first touch is 100%)

If Man City wants to bring Lukaku to be a target forward holdup play and linkup with Sterling ... they will be surely disappointed

He's first touch has improved significantly in d last one year.

Giroud, a "classic target forward?"

All a guy needs to do to be considered a classic target man is to be an excellent holding man? Right? If no is your answer, then Giroud is not the ideal no 9.

Giroud is a good link up man, but lukaku is a better striker to me. I watch inter games wella.

Lukaku hold up play in question? I guess you haven't watch his games lately.

His first touch and hold up play has greatly improved.
