Not my pitch mate...... Just pointing out that accepting 150m euro won't stretch that far.

I like to take the piss out of Werner, but his main strength is the quality of runs he makes off the ball, which frees up space for other players, which was demonstrated perfectly in the Havertz goal in the CL Final. Not sure Lukaku would benefit a lot from those runs. Also, Tuchel doesn't have a good record managing target men, apart from his time at BVB when he made Aubameyang a star (although that was in a compeletely different system to what he plays now at Chelsea).
As you said, Lukaku will be extremely good when it comes to holding up play, but when it comes to having space and finishing, I'm not so sure. If he struggled at Olimpico against Roma and Smalling last year, what chance does he have against defences like Liverpool's, City's, United's or even ours if we manage to get Torres or Laporte?

What ones were they then?... Those strikers that feel tuchel mis managed

i rate lukaku… not as much as lukaku rates lukaku… he can’t accept that he’s not considered Kane’s equal … he’s a level under the world class bracket imo. He scored for fun in Italy so I’m not sure holding up a solitary match as the overarching data by which to measure his performance is particularly sensible.


Again, using that singular example as a read across to judge how he would do in the premier league is flawed at best and at worst moot, we know he’s premier league standard as he done it every season he was here.

The main reason for that of course is we are losing our best player and due to how the football scheduled, late in the day… this is a big negotiation so this one I won’t be leaving at levy’s door

the ever present ‘dead wood’ on the other hand… which he’s made a rod for his own back by putting these players on long lucrative contracts. We’ve ruled out huge chunks of the footballing market, clear to see those that can afford them are paying those wages to better players already
