Lukaku

I understand your point with Lukakus first touch but the thing is it's not always terrible. Sometimes yeah but you make out like we play the ball to him and the move instantly breaks down and that's simply not true. He has plenty of time, ability and desire to improve his game.

The only reason you are even talking about lukaku so negatively is because of the price tag associated with him. We should be able to afford that price tag after the amount of players we have sold in the last few seasons. It's ridiculous that it looks like it'll be lukaku and frees and loans. We should have the money to "risk" 20million on lukaku and bring in other player as well. You've got to ask the question, what exactly is our chairman contributing to the club? Financially he doesn't put in a penny. It's not good enough and is the reason we are stuck in this mindset as fans, being concerned whether we can afford a player who would undoubtedly improve us for future years.

Rodwell, Fellaini. £39million. That's two of god knows how many players we've let go in the last 3 or 4 years. Factor in the new tv money and we shouldn't even be having this conversation.

Factor in that we were permanently having to sell assets to keep the banks off our backs and the answer is £20m for him is a wee bit much.

For us it's a wee bit much, so we miss out again. Lukaku is worth what he's worth. The point is it shouldn't be too much. Instead you are looking for cheaper alternatives to what we know works for us.

Who says he's too much? We're obviously still interested and i'm sure if the price was beyond us we wouldn't be any more.

We werr watching a cheaper alternative lead the line tonight with a complete centre forwards display.

Sometimes you just need 20 minutes to spot a player. Rom has no excuses now, he's got his chance

Indeed and here we are in extra time with the USA nearly scoring a last minute winner. And there you go. How long has he been on?
