But if it is €35m for Silva or €100m for Lukaku what do you do? Silva, I agree, isn't good enough to be a CF1 for a top 4 side, however, he probably does get 15 league goals for one. Lukaku however is completely overrated and overpriced. Furthermore, he is 28 so you only get one full sub-30 season out of him. 

Sounds reasonable. Silva scored 28 league goals in Bundesliga just like Werner the season before... but Silva needed fewer chances. If we can get him for 35m it would not be the worst deal in world. I have concerns over him bc he appears to be one of these sensitive guys like Werner, torres,morata who need to feel at home apprecaited first yada yada to score. On top of that Bundesliga has become a very striker friendly league like Eredivisie with many teams defending high, leaving spaces behind and a shortage of defensively strong DMs leaving the defence exposed in most games

In other news an interesting striker prospect i have been watching, Patson Daka is almost surely going to Liverpool.Only RB Leipzig can still snacht him maybe. Under 30m as well.

100M€

Imagine if you fail top4 with Silva and won a league title with Lukaku... The difference is paid with results

Just get Lautauro Martinez....that guy would become a world class deadly finisher....

Lukaku isn't any better than Silva.

[Mário César 1,249]

for example

if Liverpool thinked in that way, they didn't want buy Van Dijk because of the price and look what happened when they signed. Actually nobody think about how much Van Dijk cost because they won good trophies with him

Great player but not what we need. Skillful, quick attackers we have many, but big, strong, good header option not. Thus Haaland or Big Rom would be a better fit.

Statistically, their numbers are kinda similar. Silva produced 107 shots in the Bundesliga and scored 28 league goals while he also missed 18 big chances. In Werner's final season at Leipzig, he had 117 shots and scored 28 goals but also missed 21 big chances. Although, I don't think Silva takes penalties for Eintracht Frankfurt?

I would say this small but not miniscule difference still substantiates my point. Hf you watched both player in action for their respective season and judge the quality of chances with your own eyes you would see Silva is more clinical than Werner. He a. lso does not get into good positions as much and as Werner tho and does not cover the ground as rapidly and industriously in my eyes. Anyway, Silva is surely not the all-action striker we need but he could still be useful. My choicee would be to keep either Tammy or Giroud and sign Vlahovic or Daka. Even more of a gamble but more upside as well. I reckon we will continue to use Havertz as false 9 anyway so maybe striker is not as high on the priority list for the club as we think

But Lukaku wouldn't win us the league. People keep saying his first touch has got better but it hasn't the reason it looks better is because of the standard of Serie A and the pace of the league. Feck me, but even Zlatan with one knee is still cracking in 17 goals a season and looking like one of the best players in the league. 

I get why you don't want Silva, I am not sold on him either however Lukaku is not the answer. If I had to choose between them I got Silva unless you can get Lukaku for £40-£50m (which you cannot.)

Hope you right man, I want to see Havertz and Werner step it up and reinforce in other positions.

Absolutely this, the fucking Top scorers are composed of washed up Ronaldo, Immobile, Ibrahimovic and Lukaku enough said, that league is a disgrace.

I haven't seen Vlahovic other than a YouTube video. Is he actually a prospect or is he just benefitting from a purple patch/the standard of Serie A like Piatek did?

Although we didn't need their help in the end, we owe Spurs one for beating Leicester. So I plead with Chelsea fans around the world to club together and help Spurs buy Lukaku.

[Henrique 9,133]

Some people never learn the lesson. Lukaku is a proven player, prolific goal scorer and a leader. In past years we already tried those player who were supposed to be the next big thing and were massive flops: Morata and Werner. Paying any money for a player like Silva from Bundesliga is a big mistake, since he will be just another Werner...but thats no surprise, months ago folks on this sub were saying they didn't want Messi because he would destroy "Lampard's project".
