I get that Haaland is not happening but why not just give Havertz a go at False 9 then instead of this wastefull transfer?? I mean we seem to really click with him uptop, to me Lukaku isn't good enough to warrant sacrificing Kai's development as a 9

We could use Havertz as a second striker or no. 10 behind Lukaku.

People saying Lukaku is a wasteful transfer are forgetting how many big chances were missed last season with Havertz in the team.

Yea 100m is ridiculous but let's get it straight here... we need a goalscorer.

Arsenal and Atletico maybe but nothing advanced and he would cost a fortune for them.

I know Arsenal have to sell Lacazette first but think they have the money if things like this are in the works...

He is really coming isn't he? Forget Drinkwater, Bakayoko, Morata, Torres this will surpass them in terms of worst transfer I've seen at this club, nothing about this one makes one bit of sense, the club has lost it's marbles.

To be fair to Lukaku, he would at least be coming here at the absolute height of his powers. Torres was busted before we bought him, Morata was a huge gamble because he was never the “main man,” and the two midfielders were never great to begin with. They were average before we bought them.

As much as I’m against this transfer for this silly money I can’t imagine Lukaku turning into a Torres or Morata like donkey. He’s too good for that.

And what of Mount and Werner both of whom are Critical to Tuchel's System ?? Havertz is slowly getting back to his level and I'm confident he can produce a similar output to what he did in the 2nd half of the 19/20 season when he played up front for Leverkuzen

Except a lot of people are forgetting he 'improved' by playing in a league where his limitations on the ball are played down given how slow the league is in comparison to the Premier League. 

I have no doubt in my mind he will score goals, but the amount of build up he will ruin will have us pulling our hair similar to United fans.

how come no one was worried about havertz and the formation when we were after haaland

[Superblue 6,372]

One thing that I will give Lukaku a lot of credit for is that he's comfortable in shooting areas on either foot. It sounds ridiculous for top level footballers but there aren't many around, and being comfortable in those positions on either foot does present him with more opportunities to score.

Like I said yesterday, there will be lots of super frustrating spells with Lukaku. There will be games where he simply can’t get into the game at all because there’s no space. Similar to Tammy, really. 

I’m already preparing myself for the annoyance.

That's up to Tuchel, he can do whatever he wants.

Who knows, Lukaku could be either Tuchel or club target. It doesn't matter anyway Marina will have the final say.

I'd be astonished if the club were prepared to pay around the £100m mark for a 28 year old that the manager doesn't even want.

If Tuchel didn't rate Lukaku then I don't see this pursuit.

You're talking about a club who have a history of buying players that the manager doesn't necessarily want...

What the difference in good build up and werner missing, Alot, I swear he could aim down with an RPG and still miss the earth. To lukaku screwing build up but scoring shit loads more?  All good having build up if there is some one there to bang the bastard ball in the net? Or am I mistaken you guys would rather amazing build up n ball in the stands?
