Lukaku

Campbell was awesome.

Lukaku scores goals and with each goal in premiership worth 1.5 mill (http://www.sportingintelligence.com...rth-915k-each-last-season-and-1-5m-now-240201) he could almost clear the whole cost of his transfer in one season - I will feel sick next year if we get in some striker that scores 5 or 6 and Spurs finish above us because they signed Lukaku. Considering how many times we have finished inside the top 5/10 places over the last few years there is no excuse for not having the funds to sign him.
 
Watching Felli revitalised as Belgium played to his strength by getting it in the mixer I finally figured what concerns me about Rom.

He's all about running onto or charging with the ball "learning" to play with his back to goal is discrete code for square peg in round hole. A bit like Felli at Utd. The patient passing game isolates him, possibly why the Belgian coach hooked him.

There's one direct team in particular (who I won't mention) where I suspect he'd clean up (nightmare).
 
Yeah his first touch can be poor, this is why he not playing under Jose at Chelsea, he good enough for us and I want him NOW
 

Paper reports Chelsea are after 40 mill euros which is about £35 mill. If so all I can say is that the people in Chelsea must be on wacky baccy, that figure is ridiculous.

I don't really want to think of what a player will be worth 2 years down the line. I want a player bought in who makes a positive impact on the team. Then discuss whether he has worth what we paid for him or not.

I'm not entirely sure that's true tbh. Buying Lukaku with a view to making a profit on him further down the line will be a factor for the board in all likelihood, but I'm not sure we need to do it. We could at this point buy Bony, wave goodbye to making any profit on him and get 6 or 7 good years out of him without really worrying about financial implications. We won't like, but we could.

Sorry to have to keep using the swamp club across the park for my arguments but this no resale value on someone 26 or over is utter clap trap, Suarez was bought in his prime now at 27 or something his resale value has at least trebled, this resale excuse is pure nonesense

He's the complete forward, reminds me very much of Alan Shearer. Awesome hold up play, strength, great in the air, works hard, great shot. I would spend £20m no hesitation.

So you'd spend £20m on a player who has had one good season in the Premier League? Yet £20m on a 21 year old with a 1 in 2 record in the Premier League over two seasons is bad value?

Michu and Jelavic spring to mind.

The mentality is all to cock really. That's what I have a problem with more than anything. You are thinking about how much you can get for a player you haven't bought yet. How are you supposed to build teams with that attitude?

Strange the last few pages, people saying for 20 - 2


I would prefer Lukaku, but the only reason i say that is for resale value. For 20 - 25 million, its a bargain really. He keeps scoring and progressing we would double that amount no bother with his age. Bony, would be happy if we got him, but the 6 year age difference with Lukaku is the big swinger for me. We need to go down the moneyball road due to the ineptness of the board.

Is right.

your making a straw man arguement to which no one holds that position, I believe lukaku is better than bony and younger so can play for longer and will be worth more in the future it's a win win. I haven't heard any evertonian say "yeah we will win cups and competitions if we get bony but lukaku will be worth more in the future so i would rather take him" if someone doesn't agree with you it doesn't make it disgusting
