If we don't sign him -- though I pray we do -- it's not going to be as difficult to replace him as we think, providing we do have money.
Hear me out.
Romelu is immense but if he was 29 no one would be arsed. His potential has not benefited us this season, and though he's been a a very good player for us this year, there is no way in hell we can't replace 13-15 goals a season and a physical presence with Bobby at the helm and a bit of dosh.
What sets Lukaku apart is that he does this at the age of 20, and in 3-4 years will no doubt be one of the best strikers in the world, in my opinion. But that's in the future. Whatever happens with him, I have faith we'll still be ace next year.
