If we can't get halaand, what can we do??

If we go for Lukaku, we're practically spending 100m+ on a 28-year-old with no resale value (doesn't seem in line with the club's recent transfer policy) and it will also rule us out of signing Haaland next year. If people think our chances of signing him next year now are slim, it will be non-existent if we get Lukaku.

Fans of United, Real Madrid, and PSG will be celebrating if we sign Lukaku instead of Haaland.

And this is exactly why i have been screaming  from the rooftop for weeks now to wait it out if we can't find the right fit.

But if we can't get halaand this season, its obvious that we can't get in the next season, cuz there are much more clubs interested on him... its almost impossible

There's more than 2 strikers in the world, infact i'd think we would be a lot better off with Havertz up front.

Almost impossible is not totally impossible. At least we would still have a chance then, however small it is. Get Lukaku and that chance is practically gone completely.

If we don't buy a striker this season, stay out of top4 its a real possibility and can damage the club for a while.

Next season Bayern, Real, Juve, City, United... there are all interested in halaand. its almost impossible

I can just foresee a very “feast or famine” sort of season with Lukaku in our team. He’s the sort of striker who will have long spells where he won’t score. He’ll be a real weapon when we launch our lightning counter attacks but could be a huge liability when we play against teams that sit deep and clog all the space around the box.

I would wait and either try for Haaland next summer or see if some other young striker emerges or develops further. Like perhaps Vlahovic explodes and is ready for the step up.

real madrid buy zidane for 70M€ (record in 2001) with 29 years old....

Its part of process

not all of players will give us a lot of money. 

The things are as they are...

It would be the other way round, he'll find a way to score against the fodder but he'll disappear out of sight vs anyone half decent.

What if...

Chelsea have leaked the Lukaku story to instill fear in Dortmund that we're ready to walk away from our negotiations and they will have to settle for half of what they could've had, thus forcing their hand to accept. 🤔

what is the problem with that?

The part of the teams of the league are midle/lower quality. its this game that we most win. all games value 3 points...
