The talk between JM & RL wasn't as positive as everyone assumed. RL has been told what he needs to do.

 

If anyone goes first, it'll be Ba.

 

FFS what is Jose doing tapping up Rickie Lambert? We should get the FA on him.

So Lukaku + Bertrand for Luke Shaw........would you?

 

Just hypothetically.........

 

Yes way

 

Although agree with other posters..... One game at SMS is not enough to judge Lukaku. By all accounts WBA fans thought he was average

LOL reading this thread you'd think he was some kind of a footballing god.

 

He's a very decent player and certainly tore us a new one at SMS but don't forget we were seriously poor that afternoon.

 

That doesn't mean I wouldn't take him in a flash if he was available but he's not quite the superstar yet and he's not as good as Osvaldo IMO.

Maybe the interest in Lukaku is a way to try and force the hand of Osvaldo/Damiao ? Make them think we will go elsewhere if they don't hurry up?

 

Or something like that

The ones saying Lukaku isn't all that....he's 20? He had a great year last year, and will get better, wouldn't be surprised if he is Chelsea's no 1 striker by the end of the season. Better than Ba IMO.

I must be missing something?!?!

 

THIS GUY IS AVERAGE!!!

Yep, seems like you are missing something. He's not world class but to call him average is pretty stupid. Bit like saying Messi is quite good.

I spent last season teaching right next to WBA and the fans thought him immense. Raw yes and liable to miss the odd sitter, but top draw.

 

To suggest they think he was average is simply wrong.

Remember seeing a poll on one of the WBA papers or forums......

 

would you pay £20m for Lukaku

 

Yes was something like 7% vs 93% No's

Thing we can offer the other players we have been linked with is a big money move to English prem - he has that already so maybe harder to attract?

 

17 goals with 22 starts last season.

 

Only just 20.

 

6'3

 

16 in 37 as teenager for anderlecht.

 

Think one poster is trolling!

If you forget about emotional attachment to academy players and our desire to bring them through to the first team, that's a no-brainer. A young full back who looks like he might reach the top is great, but young strikers with that much potential are worth their weight in gold.

Assume that was before he scored 3 against the champions?

Slightly off topic, but they are actually worth far more than that. Its an indication of how overheated the PL has become that a 12 stone player is worth £20m in transfers but only c£2m in gold. http://www.onlygold.com/tutorialpages/yourweightingold.asp

Torres is a strange one - he's absolutely brilliant for Spain and very good for Chelsea but not good enough to lead a title challenge. He's got some serious confidence issues at that club but given the right move he might flourish again. I wouldn't go for him because 1. He would cost more than the players we're looking at now and 2. he is a gamble, and not the kind you take on young players. If he were to flop with us then his resale value would plummet. To be honest I doubt we'd want him or he'd want us anyway, a return to Spain seems the obvious choice.

THIS! Anyone who thinks any chance of us getting Lukaku is a bad thing is going full on stupid.

I'm a fan of Lukaku but I dont see any :rule1:'s on people sucking his manpole.

 

Hes a player still 6/7 years from his peak, hes big and powerful, hes a proven goalscorer in the Premier League. Plus a couple of times last season that I saw him play he was conjouring stuff out of nothing.

 

Im not saying he's the finished article, and out of him or Benteke I'd perhaps still plump for Benteke (even though he's not the finished article either) but he'd still be a cracking signing. We wont get him though, even if he were available I'd see a bigger side after him.

Lukaku is potential.

 

The other targets have proven themselves at their club & International level

 

Lukaku fits our profile, however I would still see SRL as first choice at the start of the season whereas with Real Diamond I wouldn't.

 

Torres on the other hand would fit our style of play, and away from the pressure of challenging for the title would be less of an unknown and with the right support could go back to his Liverpool form. He does not of course fit our profile and his wages would be an issue.

 

Tough call between them, glad I'm not a member of the transfer committee.

 

But FFS just making a bid for Lukaku. Dreamland, but I won't go all Corp Ho & Riquelme on it.

He might be able to perform to a higher level if he moves but you can forget about him reclaiming his Liverpool form, simply because his pace is gone. He's turning 30 this season and pace was his whole game at Liverpool.

 

I think it would take someone truly exceptional for Cortese to spend £25m+ on a 29 year-old, and Torres is not that man.

Why proven goal scorer, won everything

 

Passed it. No where near the player he was. He looks a shell of a Person who scored goals for fun. Maybe at a sensible price (ie 7/8 mill.)

That doesn't mean they think he's average, just not £20m. Right tight are black Country folk! They offered to buy him as soon as his loan was up.
