Both of you have Potter in your display pics, so I will assume you are Brighton experts.
Is Ben White worth his £40m price tag? Is he better than Dunk?
 
I don't see why Lukaku would leave Inter anyways.

We are likely looking at rebuild/retool for the next few seasons, he doesn't really fit with that. Unless we got Conte which seems like a 0% chance.

Nope. That’s English tax all over

Ben White is one of those classic defenders who seem 35 even when they are 21. Just a kid, he is very much on the rise. I'd say worth 25M.

Yeah, better than Dunk. 30-35m for me. Few defensive kinks to sort out but White is a stud. Really good with the ball and a great athlete, strong defender.
 
There's no doubt he's a great player, but I don't want the majority of the Kane funds going towards a striker who is 28.
I hear you. Typically, I don't want us to sign players who are more than 24. And I am big on resale value.

But leaving the financials aside, I think signing Lukaku basically means we are not risking catastrophe by bringing in a couple of prospects, or one prospect and, say, Danny Ings.

Well, I'll tell you why he should leave Italy; he is far too good to be spending his best years in Serie A.

Maybe my valuation on Lukaku is out of whack but I imagine Inter will want an insane price for him, over 50m. I don't see how we can spend that on someone his age.

Would rather spend 60m on Kounde and bring in cheaper options up front.
