Romelu Lukaku

Not entirely sure Everton are likely to finish 4th. It's in their hands, for sure, but their fixture list is a bit rotten.

To clarify: More likely than us to snatch 4th

Lukaku? His inconsistency will have us fickle Spurs supporters frothing at the teeth. He was anonymous when we played them at Goodison and seems to be unable to score against the relegation threatened teams too, no thanks.

New manager to get Soldado firing again please.

He is 20, and has a 1 n 2 record at every club bar Chelsea. It wouldnt be unfair to think he can become more consistent with more experience, and he has a huge amount of potential to work with

Hahahaha - he's an immense striker who's barely 20

You must be kidding, right?

If we are getting rid of Ade then yes, otherwise no

We can have two good strikers at the club at one time.

I would imagine no decision would be made until we find out where Everton finish..
If they finish 4th then I would expect he would want to stay with Everton.
Everton are not prolific spenders but if they got 4th then the purse strings might be loosened, if they finish 5th then Lukaku may be a few million too far for them.

That means Woolwich have to finish 4th then, oh bollocks!

Well yes, we can't bench a £20 million player, nor can we bench a £100k+ a week player, I know I'm sounding like Levy but it wouldn't make sense, both players would expect to be playing. If we have both then it definitely means getting rid of Soldado IMO, which I am reluctant to do because..... well I like him, that's it, hmmmmm, I guess we if we can shift Roberto then Ade and Lukaku would be pretty decent.

Never going to happen, don't get excited.

At which point they'd buy him

Although is agent has been stirring (1), I think it unlikely also.

According the rumours he is not on a good foot with the Chavs and that he will be leaving them. But i guess anything can happen, i would easily take a punt on him but i don't know if he's really willing to come to Spurs with our lack of game plan and ideas (i've read some articles about him, and he is not only a brilliant player but also super ambitious and really wants to be involved in the more tactical area aswell). Guess it all comes down to what happens at the manager front during the summer.

 

[Sunglasses Ron]

Dream on.

Chelsea will never sell to us after the Modric saga.

Chavs won't sell him to us unfortunately, just like they wouldn't of if we wanted Mata.

Not even their lump Torres?

Honestly I doubt even with CL qualification (only confirmed after the play off in August leaving a few days of the window) Everton could afford him. Chelsea are supposedly asking £25m, iirc thats £10m over their transfer record. As a rule they dont have a pot to piss in so I highly doubt they will suddenly start throwing £20m+ on transfers.

 

[Claud601]

... Because Chelsea would be willing to sell to us?

Pretty sure he'll stay with them anyway, Eto'o, Torres and Ba are all wank.

yup

 

[duspurs]

I'd rather Berahino tbh. Looks like he'll be on his way out of WBA. Younger, english talent and will be much cheaper than Lukaku. Unproven yes, but if last summers signings were anything to go by, form at previous clubs counts for nothing.

Good point about total qualification and a few days of the window left..

Are they really asking for £25m? I read somewhere £17.5m.
£25m is a bit steep.
