I respect his goal record but he can't trap a bag of cement and unlike Costa doesn't make up for it with intelligent runs to pull defender's.

If we can't find another top option id rather take my chances on Bats-Costa partnership and sign a good squad player, I'd probably get slated for this but if we can convince him to take a big wage cut i wouldn't say no to Asamoah Gyan for a season.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I for one see the value in adding a proven goalscorer especially since goals were in great shortage last year. Costa isn't exactly the healthiest striker out there, I wouldn't be comfortable with just him and an unknown striker new to the league but thats me.

Thats why I think Gyan could be a good option for us, let's us splash out in major problem positions and we have a squad player proven in the league, I know hes played ffar east for years but he still plays for Ghana and in that time has scored 25 in 46. Him, Costa, Bats and Traore not only give us a perfect youth/experience blend but also a variety of different attributes.

I just don't think my heart can take a Lukaku-Costa partnership, the amount of clumsy touches would be soul destroying, find them both on a bad day were as good as playing with nine.

Same rumour going around once again. I really hope we stay well clear of him.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Cant see us using Pedro as Costas partner. Hes going to have problems finding a seat on the bench.

What we need is a right selfish ruthless cunt thats going to push past everyone with his eye fixed on goal. Can Lukaku do it? If he can then we should get him.

And you don't think Gyan is a little far fetched? I mean I'm trying to be as realistic as possible here... 

Lukaku and Costa are def not the best partnership out there but why not trust the work for a change? Look at what Conte did with Giovinco, Vucinic, Quagliarella and Matri? Definitely some real garbage who worked effectively in a good system.

Absolutely hate his attitude and work rate. 

While Everton has problems with their defense for a lot of reasons, his complete unwillingness to work for the team should also not be underestimated as a factor. Always complaining and bitching, never showing any winning attitude by working hard and putting on pressure. He's the perfect representation of the Belgian national team. A lot of skills, but not the head on right. We already got Hazard to walk around being a lazy belgian.

Stay away.

Probably, just putting some options out there.

Also, I just been on Rubens thread and Antonio has hinted he is going to turn him into a forward. 

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

Ffs this would be so bad. Wouldn't won't him if he was free. If we do play 442 with matic and Kante in midfield and Costa and lukaku upfront imagine hazard trying to link up with donkeys. May aswell just sell him.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

I would much rather overpay for Morata than overpay for Romelu. Trust me, this guy doesn't have what it takes to cut it at a top club. His first touch and horrendous link up play are his biggest limitations and the reason a midtable club is his ceiling.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Go home Chelsea, your Drunk.

I'm not being nasty but dont you think that could be said about the majority of Belgian payers?

They all walk round with races like a slapped arse. I very rarely see them laugh and when they do it looks awkward. And only once have I seen Eden celebrate a goal by kissing the badge.

Now I know none of this means anything as long as they do their job well and hopefully get on well with their team mates.

Ive only been to Belgium for football matches and gigs and admit I dont know any Belians personaly so Id love to know if this is the same for all the nation or just footballers?

[Blue Armour 4,436]

Not too thrilled about this especially since we've got Michy Batshuayi.

If Lukaku is going to come in for that kind of fee he's bound to start, and he would probably throw a fuss if he doesn't.

And honestly don't want him to relegate Michy to third choice.

Already know a lot about Lukaku's game from the last two seasons and the Euro's. His consistency is nothing to shout about

[Special Juan 28,133]

Liverpool agree a fee of 25M for Geordie Wjynaldum or whatever his name is.....Another fucking bonkers transfer fee.

People hate Lukaku for doing the same things better than Costa but Lukaku is not good and Costa is "world class"
