Should we sign Lukaku's replacement in January

[Azza]

And Kone's and Jelavic's replacements.

rapey???? do not understand.

Him and two others were arrested over a gang rape of a woman in a London hotel.

Still on bail while the case is put together I believe.

I think we should be signing a good backup to Lukaku, perhaps someone young and wouldn't mind playing second fiddle.

I did not know that.

 

[bluejock]

I did not know that.

Not saying he's guilty like but he's definitely of questionable character.

He's also on £100k a week.

Just a random question...

How long does Lukaku have on his Chelsea contract? I imagine it's a long one. (LOL)

Runs until August 2016

 

[Baines' left foot]

He's been mentioned a few times but Shane Long could be a decent option for backup.

 

[Brennan]

Yep.

We can't bank on Lukaku staying, and waiting until the Summer would leave us in a poor bargaining position if Lukaku were to not come back from Chelsea. Everybody would know our desperate need for a striker.

Ship Jela out and bring in a striker in January, nothing wrong with having a boss player on the bench and giving Lukaku some proper competition.

Doesn't score enough goals, we've got and have had enough strikers with the same issues

Christ. We'll all have flying cars by then.

Who would you go for Brenz?

Also ship out Johnny but who would you bring in ? that is question.

 

[Steve Wigan]

On the topic of strikers, back up strikers, and getting a chance under Martinez...whatever happened to Velios ?

 

[Groucho]

Rooney in the summer, £10m, one year left on contract at that point, still only 28.

Or try to keep Lukaku.

Cheeky bid for Hernandez from Utd, he might be tempted to leave with the promise of Champions League football

And yes - the earlier we get a replacement for Lukaku (if Chelsea won't sell) the better, although prices are massively inflated in January.
