Romelu Lukaku

£60m for the best young goalscoring striker in the world isn't "silly money".

He's under contract for a while and we're now owned by a billionaire. We won't sell except for Suarez/Bale money.

assuming he doesnt have a release clause in his contract? i doubt he does...as im sure his agent would have let all and sundry know about it
 
Oh, Id put a cheeky bid in for Benteke, not as good as Lukaku but much better than what the kopites are turning him into at the moment

Don't want to give them any money whatsoever pal.

Benteke is OK, but hasn't really progressed at all since his first season at Villa.

Think West Ham are the front runners anyway.
 
If he wants to go then let him go and sign Bony for 20m, pocket 40m to reinvest.

I'm not arsed about any players leaving this club other than Barkley, but he won't go this summer.

With Moshiri's money behind us this summer we'll have a boss squad come next season.

100% this. Its not as if we are tearing it up with our current set of players is it

Hopefully West Ham get champions league and then they will be in for a higher calibre of player so they dont shaft us everytime we try and buy someone

Not such a bad idea, I don't believe they are playing to his strengths,give him the ammo and he knows where the net is, he was keeping Villa up on his own.

No where near as bad as RS make him look.

would we play to his strengths though? We don't cross the ball, everything is sideways and backwards passes and we don't break forward quick enough as a unit to support a lone striker.

You get Benteke and you need a new manager. He's excellent running down hoofs and being a lone target man but he kind of sucks playing possession footie. Which to be honest with you might be a better style for the players we currently have.

I think talent-wise Bony and Beneteke are similar. However, Bony is a better fit for the footie our manager wants to play, for better or worse.

I think the excessive vaulting has sent you a bit mad, mate.

We'll take the £60m and buy Kane or Aubameyang. I know as Lukaku's biggest fan you'd consider those two to be lesser players, but it'll be OK.

He is what he is right now - a deadly striker who has consistently scored goals every season in a poor side.

We're now a rich club and he's on a long term contract, and he's our best player. It'll take a near world record fee to tempt our hand.

I was right about Stones last summer and I'll be right about this - we won't sell cheap; and £60m would be cheap.
 
Don't want him to leave but £60m is silly money and on top of that there's an extra £100m, that gives us £160m in transfer funds. We could sign any replacement we'd blooming want.

We have to be careful tho. Just because we have money doesn't mean we'll sign who we want. A lot of players don't find Liverpool a desirable place to live and often opt for a London team. Or, we could nab a player who is wanting to use us as a stepping stone.
