Lukaku to Spurs

As for Michu, what's he done this season? Ie he injured. As for Bony I've not seen much of him.
 
At the end of the day, there is a reason Jose doesn't want him, he obviously has the same opinion as many in here.
 
So, spend £20m on two players who are not premier league experienced. (Not sure what Hernandez you mean) or £20m on a proven striker?

Chicharito, but I refuse to call him that haha

No, I know what you mean, but just saying there are other options. Not sure if Lukaku is proven yet, two good seasons at two separate clubs but we don't know if he's "doing a Yakubu" and turning on the style sporadically. Don't think that's the case but it's by no means certain.

I'd be happy if we signed Lukaku as I think something is there, but after today and his performances over the lats six months in general I don't think it's as big a loss as losing the Lukaku we saw in the first few months of the season.
 
Benteke
Pato
Hernandez
Bony
Traore

Just off the top of my head.

Michu's struggled with injury the majority of the season mate, but he hasn't looked the same even when fit imo, Bony has played really well the past month or two, 8 goals in his last 10 games after a pretty unimpressive start 4 in his first 15 games, however 5 of his 16 goals this season have been pens I think
 
If signing Lukaku meant we couldn't buy at least one other good player (near starting XI) I wouldn't do it. If we had the budget he's the right signing to move us forward.

As for your questions Bryan, yes Michu has been injured for much of this season and as for Bony, he's been quite good and scored 15+ Premier League goals.

That's how I feel about the whole thing.

End of the day, any striker that can net 10+ goals in the premiership is gonna cost upwards of £10million. In Lukaku's case, you'll be slapping an extra £10mill on top of that due to age and potential.

The more I think about it, the more I think that £20million is a lot of cash for us for someone who is going to be inconsistent and may or may not reach his potential.

I'm sure Bobby has more up his sleeve and I think Lukaku will be somewhere else, probably abroad, next season.
 

Benteke
Pato
Hernandez
Bony

The same Pato who scored 1 goal in his last 15 games over his last 2 seasons at Milan?

Bony whose scored 2 goals less than Lukaku in more games if you remove the pens he's slotted?

Hernandez whose never started as a lone striker and looks totally unsuited to the role?

and Benteke whose got a blown out achilles?
 
For the record, I don't think Bony is the answer either. He'd cost about the same as Lukaku for the same, if not less end result and infinitely less resale value.

Yeah, I think Benteke could have had a career killer with that injury.

See what happens.
