Lukaku needs his legs resting because we had no fitness coach of note to speak of at the club hence why half the team were knackered by february. That and the fact lukaku spent half of games chasing long balls to him rather than being able to just get in the box. Del is even younger and less fit again, barkley was knackered by march etcJagielka is just over a year younger so not a big difference mate?
My point with Lukaku is that even at 23 he needs his legs resting - which goes to show how professional Barry is.
Jags will be getting phased out now. If we are spending 40 million a a defender it is certainly not to keep jags in there long term. Mori will start once stones goes sure, but a replacement for stones actually will replace Jags in the team over the longer term. If we do bring a big defender in and a 4th choice i can guarantee you jags wouldn't be first choice by may anymore.
