I guess the only thing you can say about Vlahovic if you’re trying to talk yourself into him is that perhaps he looks much better in a side that’s not coached by Allegri who Juve supporters were complaining about all season from what I saw.

Not someone you want to spend 70m on but if the price were somehow reasonable there IS a player in there. 

The only way I can talk myself into him is from the perspective that if it is the way to get Lukaku off the books in something close to a swap deal, with us not spending much money (<£20m?), we replace a player who's career has peaked with a player who is 3-4 years away from peaking, he would have resale value (surely always at least £40m, plus football-inflation) and give us a different profile of player to lots of our other players. He has a clear talent for finishing, and some potential in other areas. He is in my honest opinion clearly a bit worse than Lukaku (the slightly past it Lukaku of today), but if he was here as a rotation option / squad player it would be ok - it just only makes sense from a financial perspective of where to spend our money if it is part of getting rid of Lukaku. Also, if he would take acceptable wages, similar to whatever Nicolas Jackson is on.

To get rid of this it surely has to be worth a punt on him:

What are the chances that this fat deceitful waste of space does not turn up @ Cobham Monday morning ?

Guy will get chewed up and spit out by PSG in 1 year, if him going there facilitates us getting rid of Lukaku then I am happy though.

I look forward to seeing what the club will do about the striker issue.

goalkeeper and CF position is a must

tbh, I think we need another winger also

With what money? We spent 700m over the last 2 windows and have a 400m deficit rn, with Caicedo its 500m. No way we can afford to add another 200m.

Sterling, Madueke, Mudryk, Nkunku, Ziyech and Gusto who can all play wing... What do we need more for?

We have Nicolas Jackson, Nkunku, and then possibly Broja depending on if Poch views him as serious or not. You want us to sign a 9 and also an AMF/RW (ala Cherki?) or just 1 of those 2?

Personally given lack of European football I want us to run a small squad, but do think we currently have a lot of dependence on Nkunku to cover the 9 (rotation), AMF (main option) and RW (rotation). So I think we should sign one of the two but probably not both, save the other for next year if we are back in CL?

valencia's goalkeeper is good and cheap

would be an interesting solution

about a winger, I don't know which one would be ideal, but we needed one more and with goal capacity, since that is what the team lacks
