Should we sign Lukaku's replacement in January

[potato]

mitrovic is a bang tidy striker i'd have him

 

[Eggs]

...with Kone's injury, the Manager has already indicated he needs to bring somebody in so I'd be amazed if that doesn't include a striker. Only time will tell if that is Lakuku's longer term replacement or just a squad player to jump ahead of Jelavic as back-up.

How about swapping Rooney for Baines?

He's already said he looking for replacements for Kone and Gibson. A midfielder and a striker.

We should sign somebody young and full of promise because there's no way in hell we can afford Lukaku. Anthony Martial, Jurgen Locadia, zakaria bakkali, michy bathshuayi, ibrahim ezekiel, yassine benzia, or ahmed musa.

Nice list but given our circumstances we cant afford to fluff this one so I would only be confident with the likes of bathshuayi and musa from that list both would cost north of 10 mil Salah would be a good option too not sure on his value though

Can anybody remember what Martinez did at Wigan?

Did he buy many players in January there? I can't really remember.

Not sure that's a useful comparison

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

I think if RM made it clear that he didn't want Moyesy holding Chicharito back, he may understand

 

[Big Fat Sam]

The scary thing is even if every season ticket holder did the same, it still wouldn't cover his transfer fee. The money involved in premiership football is just bonkers!

Yep - we'll need around 15,000 fans to donate a grand apiece.

or...100,000 people donating £150 each.

 

[FTY]

Batshuayi please.

 

[BoysInBlue]

Why don't we just qualify for the Champions League?

That way we'll have the money to pay for Lukaku.

 

[Big Doug]

Batshuayi please.

agree would be available for around £6 mil you would imagine and if we could get that sum for jelavic and heitinga combined it would be brilliant business with the felliani money left for a CM and CB and the TV money in the summer for lukaku/another striker

 

[jamieni]

If we get champs league lukaku will probably have scored 25-30 goals and his price will have gone up. Be immense if we could get him though.

We should sign another striker in jan. lukaku is only 20 and will be more effective if we can give him a breather now and again. I think we need someone in the same mold. Big, quick and powerful. With mirallas, Barkley, Pienaar and deulofeu we have all the skill in the world. Need some big F off monster to rattle defences and let them play. Plus someone who can break the net with a header like lukaku!

 

[Tramps_mate]

Id offer Chelsea Barkley or Baines for Lukaku..

Defenders and midfielders of decent quality arent too hard to find, but a 20 goal striker is like hens teeth!!
