Polo7 3,496 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 His father basically said his son shouldnt join the Italian league because it is a defensive league therefore difficult for strikers. What a pathetic attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weckerz 3,781 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 He'd bring the same skillset Costa has with slightly better finishing, this signing wouldn't make much sense and we'd have to overpay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I would still get him if we can't get Higuian. Higuian would be my first choice but looking long term Lukaku would be better. Mistake selling these young players without any buy back clause. If you going to sell young players at least insert something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Never thought much of him, haven't seen anything that makes me think he's worth the money being asked and would rather not have him back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 No great technique, no great precision. We already have Costa for that. Save that 65m (!!) and go for someone like Lacazette. Why the fuck are clubs like West Ham after him and not us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 A front duo of Costa and Lukaku could be very comical though, even more so if in bad shape. At least Costa, even with all his limitations technique-wise, wants to win at all costs and on his day he is nearly unplayable, he could easily produce 30-35 goal per season if fit throughout and consistently supplied with chances, one of the few players in this team that has truly won me over.

In Europe Higuain played for Real, a team that scores goals for fun in Spain, and Napoli, a team that have different status in Serie A, than Everton have in Premier League. Between Lukaku and Higuain, Lukaku is easily the better choice. He is younger and already have PL experience, and no doubt he will be cheaper than Higuain.

I remember years ago when I said I wanted to see Sturridge and Lukaku in the team. That of course before we sold them both. That would have been a deadly combination like Gudjohnsen and Hasselbaink of years ago. I think if we get Lukaku back that might help Hazard and Courtois feel more comfortable. So I guess that is also a good reason to go for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 The nicest thing I could say about this potential deal is it looks good compared to Torres at £50m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between Lukaku and Higuain, Lukaku is easily the better choice. He is younger and already have PL experience, and no doubt he will be cheaper than Higuain.  Real may score goals for fun but you must appreciate what Higuain is working with. Not only was he not preferential to Benzema but he also had to compete with Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite it all, Ronaldo is the backbone, the brain and everything of Real Madrid. Higauin has scored many important goals for all of his club, and yes he did have a terrible run of 2013/14 but never doubt this Argentine's ability. To score 120+ goals for a team that not only focuses on another forward but actively chooses another centre forward is nothing short of an amazing job. If it were so easy past failed strikers would have scored many more for Real, and aged van Nistelrooj, Huntelaar, Adebayor, Soldado, Negreo...you know the tune. I feel it is the zeitgeist to write off Higuian for three incidents. World Cup, Copa Sudamericana and that Champions League ending penalty miss. However those are only three instances in a long career of consistency and improvement. The intelligence and guile of Gonzalo trumps Romulu's power in my eyes.

That's the sort of fee you'd expect to pay for one of the world's best players. Honestly, though, you have to look at it a bit like the Martial fee. Is it crazy to pay so much for him? Yes. But you'll get a super young goal scorer who can play for your club for 10 years. Can you imagine what Harry Kane would cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Please no. If we're gonna play two up top Lukaku is not the man to partner up with Costa. He has way too many limitations to his game. Morata is such a better option and better player overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
