Lukaku Joins WBA On Loan

Shoulda brought in Odemwingie as our back up striker as part of the deal. Oh well, i'm sure we'll get someone. I also don't believe Romelu will make it here but hope i'm wrong. £18m tho... that was too much.

Don't rate Lukaku at all... I can't see him starting over their other strikers.

It wasn't 18M. 12M + performance add-ons.

If I'm not incorrect, don't WBA use two strikers? I think Romelu has a genuine chance to claim a place up front. The competition is good in a way too, it'll keep him on his toes. I also think they'll sell off one of their strikers still, so he'll be fine. Perfect environment for him to thrive in.

And most Belgian journalists were reporting it in euros too. So basically £9.5m rising to £14.5m!

Goshhh

With Peter Odemwingie, Shane Long and Markus Rosenberg already at the Hawthorns...

Not sure if Steve Clark gonna favor Lukaku over them. I got a feeling Lukaku gonna become some impact sub.

"I guess it'll be Long/Lukaku and Rosenberg fighting it out for the main central striker role, with Odemwingie, Fortune, El Ghannassy, Brunt, Gera (Jesus, am i missing anyone?! ) fighting it out for the wider striker/winger role."- From the West Brom Forum.

Great move for him, hopefully he can prove himself in the premiership next season.

odemwingie had a bust up with clarke (reportedly), probably he is the one leaving

I really wish his experience turns out to be a positive. To be honest, i don't rate him at all.. Way to big and clumsy for the top flight. Needs to trim down and get his speed up before he will be considered for any team..
