Romelu Lukaku

[Goat]

Correct



Did he play 2 up at Juve? How about in the Euros? You should know MG.

I have no idea what you mean, hes played 2 up top all through his career?

Ive come to the conclusion that Ronald will go with a Fluid 4-3-3 for MOST of this season.

The team will set up as follows :

GK
Coleman - Williams - CB - Baines
Gueye
Besic - Barkley
Mirallas - Lukaku - Geri​

Thus negates the need for Juan Mata and we hereby end our interest.

Limiting Gueye to a DM role would be a huge mistake, seeing as he's best in the box-to-box role.

The first formation that brought Conte success was a daring 4-2-4 at Bari. The system's principal characteristics were two tough men in midfield and very high wingers. It earned the southern club the Serie B title in 2008/09. He also deployed these tactics with Siena in 2010/11.

However Conte couldn't replicate it when he joined Juventus in 2011. The club had purchased smooth operator Andrea Pirlo and there was no place for the Italian playmaker in the 4-2-4.

So in came a solid, reliable 3-5-2. Ultra reliable in fact, because Juventus won the Scudetto without losing a single match in 2011/12 and only conceding 20 goals.

He adapted it occasionally, but on the whole his breath-taking era at Juve, which consisted of three consecutive championships, was built on three at the back.

But maybe the less tactical, more cavalier nature of the Premier League might mean a return to the 4-2-4.

The former Italy international never got to grips with the Champions League, exiting the competition in the quarter-finals and the group stage in his two attempts. He also guided the Italian champions to the Europa League semi-final.

Not a hideous record, but not sparkling. The tournament vexed Conte so much he even abandoned his tried and trusted 3-5-2 a few times, picking a 4-4-2. It didn't work.

Him and Besic will operate as an old fashioned number 6 and number 8 interchangeable.

Where does Lukaku fit into all this?

 

[Connor]

Where does Lukaku fit into all this?

Upfront in Ronald's 4-3-3 or his 3-5-2 or even if he stretches to a 4-3-2-1 or 5-3-2

Standing on the penalty spot with his hands up in the air screaming at Kev mostly.

I've read the last line five times and I still don't know what it means.

I'm one of the those who believes in selling players who don't want to be here but looking around, there not much quality around.

Arsenal are looking
West ham are looking for one for their new stadium
Jose went for a 34 year old player
Chelsea are looking

Bets solution is to convince him his future with us and a pay rise and get CL with us but we need more convincing signings first
