Romelu Lukaku

I think that in January we will see the signing of a genuinely hard working centre forward.
Maybe he won't score as many as Lukaku, but a willing worker and a genuine target man. Something we can very often be lacking at the moment.

You mean an unselfish one
 
You can stick unselfish forwards up your .... well you know how the song goes. We need a more creative midfield, or failing that, an Emile Heskey type to set the play up for Lukaku. Oh, hang on, he was an unselfish forward lol.

So I guess I'm saying we need 2 up front, 1 willing runner, and the other Lukaku. Shane Long anyone?

So buy players to suit Lukaku game and build the team around him in Jan then in the summer the big fella finally says :bye: regardless of our league position.

Before we start buying players tailored for specific forwards we need to bring in some creativity full stop.
We don't have a single playmaker in the squad. we need to buy one regardless of who's finishing the chances.

This...we need a playmaker(s). The lack of movement off the ball and lack of cutting passes in the final third is killing us.
 
I don't think players should be scapegoated or put on a pedestal simply because of who they are.
Players should assessed on performances. Lukaku is possibly the most talented player in the squad and certainly has all the physical attributes that any forward can ask for. I would expect a man like him to lead the team, I don't see that happening and I criticise him for that.
He is certainly not alone in underperforming payers at the moment.
