Rmpr 8,977 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Lukaku and striker X should be rotated while Ba will be 3rd choice and i am pretty sure he will be ok with that.Only if the striker X is better than Lukaku and Ba, which isnt the case with anyone besides Cavani/Rooney/Falcao/Lewandowski...

Stingray 9,441 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 LOL! But it is true, if we are going to buy a striker just for the sake of it, lets reacall Lukaku!I only want a new striker if he is one of the 4 big options. I dont want Higuain, Soldado, Martinez, Gomez, etc. Lukaku is just as good as is free!Now you sound like a sensible guy like @Theonlyplacetobe ! :-) It looks like we are going that way ..... I find it sensible after seeing Ba collapse a bit as well here. We are hard on strikers .... Lukaku has the advantage of being around and growing up in this strikers' armageddon. He will probably just continue evolving , going for more minutes and if we give him the chance ....He might just do it. I give him slack ...

Cavani/Falcao + Lukaku + Ba or Cavani/Falcao + Ba + Lukaku loaned is one thing, but spending 20-22mi for another striker (remember we still have Torres) is plain stupid (IMO).We still have many holes in our squad to spend money on someone who wont improve much. Lukaku is as capable to play a second role as Martinez (for instance)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray 9,441 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I think we need to MAKE Lukaku in our attack. He is ready for that, but we will need a good coaching team. We need a long term ST that feels good in his role here. We don't have that, steve Clarke did that with Lukaku in WBA and so we apparantly - and fiercely - underestimate our youngster evolving abilities. I so .....hope .... Jose will develop Oscar, Kdb and Lukaku to their fullest potential!! If he can do that magic ..... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Lukaku to come in score 40 goals. And be the greatest striker in the world for the next 10 years. (optimism ) mediator and Stingray 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
different level 1,056 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Not really, we will play 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, systems that use only 1 striker!Having Lukaku, Ba and New ST is totally unecessary and one will Always be unhappy with playing time...You didn't mention Torres, but I don't think he is going anywhere. IMO if we bring some big money striker, that'll mean Lukaku is spending another year on loan somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinineUltra 1,170 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 If Falcao, Cavani and Lewandowski arent available, we should just recall Lukaku!Perhaps consider Jovetic also - if he is fit- , but generally I completely agree with you.

DanishBlue 426 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Oscar instead of Di Maria! I know, i know.. he is not at winger. I just want mazacar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuvala 2,167 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Seems like we're gonna start the new season without a proper striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communicate 2,703 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Wow another striker debate. Just recall lukaku and that is enough for me. I qm more concerned about midfield. We have been dominated by benfica, yes benfica for two straight season. No offense to benfica fans but there is no way team like us should be dominated by team like benfica didierforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I hope when Jose gets here he buys Bale He's actually exactly what we need. Though, his price...He'd cost about £50 million... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that.C'mon it couldn't be that much...Could it? I mean, Ronaldo cost £80 million. The best player in the world at the time. Bale would go for £50 million max wouldn't he? Maybe £5-10 million on top of that because we're rivals. Question is, is he worth that? Many have said he could be the next Ronaldo...

Though, his price...He'd cost about £50 million...He actually would be the type of player we are looking for, a more direct kind of threat. Would be absolutely great with a counter attacking system, if Jose sets it up that way.But yeah no way spurs will sell, would he want to go to a rival?

Many have said he could be the next Ronaldo...I think like madrid could buy him for 50/60 mil. But Bale is their guy, they lose him and champions league football is very unlikely. They lose him to us, and they make the gap between our sides much larger. I doubt levy would want to sell him to us at any figure. So it would have to be in the ronaldo price bracket to get him to come here i would think.Is he worth that, i don't know. If torres is worth 50 mil then Bale is worth 300. 50 mil yes, worth that. 80 Mil, no not for me. didierforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beepu 1,714 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Yeah he rejected a huge bid from us for Modric only to sell him a year later to Madrid for a lower fee. So i wouldnt be surprised if he rejects 80m from us and accept 50m from madrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeronimo 130 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Some sites are reporting Jose wants Eliaquim Mangala. What do you guys think about him?Personally I would love him here. He's young, quick and absolutly dominant in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
