De_ChrapQaa 192 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 He proved in West Brom and Everton he is our best striker and can score 15+ in this league as 20y old, yet some people question him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De_ChrapQaa 192 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Costa, Lukaku, Bony. looks good to me There's no need to have 2 good 2nd options imo, one of bony/lukaku would be most of the time on the bench, and they don't deserve treating like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polo7 3,496 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yes I can't but I wasn't saying he should be our 1st choiceProblem with that is:1) he will asked to move to another club (Loan or otherwise)2) he wont improve if he stays and sits on the benchProblems everywhere.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Don't need him.Rather get a younger player like Wickham for a 3rd option striker. We need to sign first option, and second can very well be Lukaku.Bony seems like a good player, with strength and a good first touch, but Wickham has got that too and he's 19!

didierforever 7,349 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I wonder how long we will continue to support Lukaku just because he is young. He has no hold up play, cant win any aerial duels, terrible terrible first touch and isnt the most intelligent of players. Lets see how many of these points he can improve upon.Dude, I don't support lukaku cos he is young, I support him cos he scores goals. 30 in the last 2 PL campaigns to be exact.Also, u realuze we are talking about lukaku and not altidore or sagbo. With these many faults, I don't think a player can be plauing for a semi-pro team. Lukaku's hold up play is good. He is pivotal for evertpm's ATTACKS and not just their finishing. He brings in barkley, mirallas, naismith and coleman into the game with his hold up play. Not just that, some pf his passes and lay offs coupled with his movement show that he has a good enough footballing brain. He may not be xavi/iniesta But he is quite good.He does not win aerial duels????!!!!! What do u watch dude? Just yesterday he not only won an aerial duel against evans and jones but also headed the ball brilliantly into naismith's path who blasted his shot over.The only thing that has not improved is his firat touch so I can't defend him there.But the point is does lukaku need "defending". Here we have a proven goalscorer at the age of 20, leading a line for a CL fighting team but he is been compared with bony who is playing for a relegation threatened team. How is itthat when lukaku smashes 30 goals in 2 seasons, iit's only cos he is playing for a lower team (even though both of wba and everton that lukaku played in will finish above swansea that bony plays for), and yet it does seem to be a point for bony who is a. Decent striker who is maybe as good as lukaku but definitely not better. The point of all this, we don't need bony. We don't need to spend 20mil on a 25 year old striker who has reached his ceiling specially when we have soneone like lukaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weckerz 3,781 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hope he leaves for his own sake.. The vultures will be waiting to blast his touch or technique whren they'll get the chance to. We've endured a season of borderline retarded strikers and people are complaining about one of the best young strikers in the world, smh.And for gods sakes stop assuming he wouldn't want to be 2nd fiddle to a worldie like Costa or Cavani just because he opted to be loaned out. Bringing in a 4th striker close to deadline would make anyone ponder their future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant go 10 seconds in this forum without getting insulted one way or another because someone doesnt agree with you. I wonder at what age does one become an adult and not a "young striker". Lukaku is not ready to play at a big club and he is not Drogba whos first touch was sublime and created many opportunities. Id rather have Lukaku than Torres or Ba but thats not saying much. He is overrated by our fans. Even the Everton fans have seen his flaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofcourse he can be a part of this team, he's MORE than good enough to be second striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell from his interview where he talked about staying at Everton. He isnt a Chelsea fan, just a professional who wants to play. So if the best we can offer him is 2nd, you think he will stay when other teams offer him more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
