Lukaku

[bluemangroup]

I don't know if he'll go for Bony, I really don't

I can see arguments both for and against. Martinez clearly isn't afraid to take a gamble now and then and he's been shrewd with some of the signings.

Bony is certainly coming off a good season and I think he has a lot of positive abilities. But Martinez might think that it's better to stick with the options we have, get someone like Traore on loan and then look at spending the money on a CM and a winger. I'm convinced he wants to give Kone another chance. He'll have to stand by the Wigan players. Alcaraz, Robles and Kone will all get a chance next year. He'll think he has to back them

Mikey, Bony IS our second choice.

wow, the Lukaku fan boys are out in full force - go on lads!!! £20m, £30m, £32.5m - done!!!

Nah, just not bought into it at all, no popcorning, just a very opposite view to many of you. I'm sure if all the astute managers in world football see the player that you do, then Rom will be gone for £30m and everyone will point at Mourinho and laugh at him.

At this moment in time the enigma that is Rom is being shown what front running is all about by a 19 year old - explain that? It will be because of the limitations I expressed concern at a long while ago.

BTW The world isn't flat...

As opposed to a 19yr old who you have seen twice, less than a full game in time off the bench. I can't take you seriously anymore. Lukaku scored 15goals last season in the Premier League but he hasn't done as well at the WC as his replacement. just wow.

dont see what was so confusing tbh lid

You right mate

No way could there be another striker out there cheaper than 25m who could score 15 goals a season

He's a rare breed is our Rom and we must move heaven and earth to sign him, I truly believe in 5-6 years he will be worth 80-90m

I think people are thinking that you aren't being sarcastic. Looking back at your posts you seem to be of the same opinion as me that Rom is majorly overpriced.

To summarise:

2013 Lukaku = £25m of anyones money.

2014 Lukaku = A bag of Wotsits.

 

[Thuck ma Baws]

If we're judging a player's value based on two world cup games then how much do we think Jagielka is worth, or Baines? Rooney has only scored once in about 10 world cup games so we can probably sign him for about £3mill.

No mate I think he's going to be in the top 2-3 strikers in the world

Defo worth 25-30m, You watch after he's lit up the WC how many top clubs fight for his signing

I only had to see Rooney and Barkley once and knew they were class at younger than 18... whats your point? Do you have a mind of your own?

I'm no scout but played the game at a decent enough level not to have to take on a keyboard warrior/fanboy persona to pass off that I know about the game.

You keep promoting Lukaku, its not like you need to, he tries to do that himself with the press.

The thing is mate, if you read back. You do have valid points about his touch etc nobody is denying that. Yet he still has managed 31 goals in the last 2 seasons which for me justifiably in the current financial climate is worth £20mill.

I also see the potential for him too improve as he is only 21 and from what i read is a student of the game and he's always looking to improve. He has so many plus points that make the negatives worth taking a risk on.

You mention keyboard warrior/fanboy that's how you appear, obviously you feel your opinion is more valid than most even though you don't back any of it up. I keep giving you answers to back up why I think he'd be a good signing, yet you don't like him seems to be your best response.

You definitely are no scout mate i'd be worried if you were as you can plan a lids future career after watching him for 40minutes hahahaha twice hahahaha
