I have complained about Lukaku since he arrived at Inter. I did not want him back here on loan, and I certainly do not want him back again next season. It's some major revisionist history to sit here and say that Lukaku's goals in the Scudetto-winning season were just stat padding.
Of his 24 goals that season, only 7 of them were "stat pads." The other 17 were critical goals that either tied matches, gave us leads, or gave us necessary breathing room. If you remove the penalties, that takes him down 11 critical goals, which is a reasonable number for a striker playing for a top side. I also don't love dismissing penalties, as we've seen what having poor penalty takers (Lautaro last year) does to a team during a match.
Just for comparison, Lautaro scored 17 league goals that season. I counted 6 goals that are "stat pads" using the above criteria.
