What big player would you sell to bring in lukaku?

[Bluebill]

What if bringing in lukaku meant selling one of our best players. Which player would you opt to sell? Alternatively, sell none and start with kone up front next season.
Hope this isn't the position we find ourselves in, but just out of interest.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Haha, Bill's made an account.

I guess the player with the most votes is going this window then.

 

[TrixyStevens]

I voted none. That list contains the core 1st team. Disrupting that, means you have to start from scratch. By the way Kenwright was and Roberto have been talking, we shouldn't have to sell to buy

 

[Blue Cheese]

I'd rather not sell any and don't want to think about it as an option if possible.

 

[Del]

Smells like Kopite

 

[ultimateblue]

We don't need to sell any of the above to sign Lukaku on a permanent deal.

 

[Eusebio]

If I HAVE to pick someone:

It won't be Stones, Barkley, Coleman or Mirallas as for me is the core of the team. I'd pick Baines even though he is still a quality player I think we've had the best of him and he is more or less at a stage where he is maintaining his form. If I had to choose, it's Baines

 

[Eusebio]

It's just a hyperthetical question lads

 

[eternal_defiance]

Osman for £3.5m and Naismith for £5m !

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

If we got to the final day and we haven't secured a striker then maybe Kev. Ideally though, nobody.

Martinez said he understands why players move on once they've fulfilled their potential at a club, and you can't say that of the others, so I get what you mean.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

If we had to (and I'm sure we're alright this summer) I'd say Mirallas, he'd be the easiest to replace.

 

[bluemangroup]

Can't really build a team if you are offloading quite important components of it I'd have thought.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

What's the point in that? Build on what we've got, rather than weaken one area in order to strengthen another. Kenwright's comments yesterday made me very curious about what's gonna happen this summer. For the first time that I really have positive feeling aboutLukaku being here again next season.

I'd rather the multi-millionaires on the board do a whip-round to get a player for a change instead of always relying on selling one.
