Would you pay £24m for Lukaku?

[luimneach]

24m for sure, hopefully 15-18 m up front max and the rest over period of time and/or achievements with us

 

[Lord Buddha]

It's most definitely a possibility

I'd pay £10m for him, £12m for Welbeck and probs the full £24m for Samaras.

 

[Dexter]

I'll have a bet with anyone now that if we do sign him he will not improve beyond the first 2 seasons, in other words, he will turn into Andy Caroll

 

[DanB90]

I think he's definitely worth £24m or 400 Seamus Colemans in modern terms.

 

[Dexter]

And if we pay 24 mill we will not be able to sell him on for anything over 25 mill

Well, that's just it. He has scored 32 Premier League goals in those first 2 seasons 17 for WBA, 15 for us. Even if he maintains that, he's worth £24m.

Add the 15, and 16 league goals he scored for Anderlecht, and well...

We haven't even bought him yet, why are you talking about selling him?

I'll bet you £24 he does

He should be a must signing

I mean starting from the moment we sign him on a full contract as our settled player

£100. Deal. Send me your bank details just incase you're right.

People get mad worried about his poor touch. Lots of good strikers have poor touches, many of them are worse technically than Rom. It's nothing to worry about. All you have to do is play to their strengths and watch them crush everything. Chelsea have just signed one for 32mil, on the back of 27 league goals, a league title and a CL final, with nary a nice touch in sight. You don't have to be a good footballer to be good at football.

I know that early bird chart looks impressive but it obviously means bugger all, you can't possibly put every player into the same circumstance

Yet you so readily compared Lukaku to Carroll?
