Lukaku

[Brennan]

I have a sneaky feeling that Wolfsburg will come in for him this summer. They wanted him last year but were priced out of it, but have now got Champions League money next season and have a cracking squad. De Bruyne, that naughty left back Rodriguez, Perisic, Schurrle, Gustavo, Dost.

No chance.

They won't pay what we want so it doesn't matter and I don't see ROM trying to force a move for a couple of seasons.

Can't begin to imagine his goal tally if we played the passes he wants. Anyone watch Sevilla and Bacca last night? The first thought in every players mind is 'can I get a through ball to Bacca?', and they slip pass after pass down the side of the centre halves and if we started doing this rather than trying to go round the sides of teams, Rom would score a hat full.

No chance.

Ofcourse theres a chance. About 50/50 i'd say

They've signed Max Kruse from Monchengladbach (or the deal's near enough done anyway), so they won't be coming in for Rom.

Doubt he'll go this summer anyway.

we wont sell this summer mate, but if theres interest enough next summer.. after a good euros.. and a good season in the league we'll look to sell imo, just for the highest bidder.

We'll want to turn a profit.

He'll have to have one hell of a season for us to make a healthy profit on the 25m or so we paid for him. I'd like to think we'd refuse to sell for another two years if we can't double our money on him if he wants to do but doesn't kick up a stink.​

with the right playmaker behind him, next season.. he will have one hell of one.

We get a player who isn't all about himself, and would rather assist than score, then boom. 20-30 goals for Rom.

Can't fault the lad this season, he's won me over

Creativity has been absolutely abysmal and he still consistently outscore's seasoned strikers

Martinez though could get a lot more out of him if he had the brains

think it's more he doesn't have the players rather than the brains hence trying to rectify it this summer.

it's all very well saying play neat little through balls to match his runs, but not everyone can actually spot it or play the pass, it's not really an english thing that is taught.

I was watching the game last night in part thinking about Lukaku being in that Sevilla team and how/whether he would thrive on those (types of) passes they kept putting through to Bacca, exploiting the channels between the full backs and the centre halves and being able to run in on goal. I suppose that would depend on Lukaku peeling off the centre halves and being prepared to make those runs, which I think he would, and having a quality creative midfielder capable of providing that type of service......which we don't.

Hes always making them runs during the match. Just no one can spot the pass let alone play it, the 3 who can, pienaar,ossie and gibson have been MIA for most of the season, new playmaker is well overdue

 

[Nymzee]

Problem I have with him is the dude was like born offside but not in a good way like Inzaghi.

 

[Brennan]

There really isn't. They can't afford to pay what we would want and we've absolutely no reason to sell.

I think Rom and his new agent will push it..just a hunch, though.

I couldn't agree more. Those three are the most capable players we have at unlocking defensive "doors" with a clever pass or movement. Unfortunately, all three are old and/or injury prone. A young, creative, pass-first midfielder is our most vital need this transfer window. It doesn't even have to be a central midfielder either.. a crafty player in a wide position would help us just as well. That's why I still rue the missed opportunity to sign Dusan Tadic. I sincerely hope we get it sorted this summer.

Here we go.

I doubt he is talking about us
