Fair enough mate. What I would say though, if Super Bob could unearth a striker from the French league at 25-26 years old, for 9.5 mill who hit the back of the net almost 20 times in his first season despite being out for some of it, I'd be chuffed to bits.
I actually thought he had his best game in the air against Utd the other week, I suspect Duncan has been working on his timing. Agree about Nessie though, he reminds me, dare I say it, of Kevin Keegan, he has a great spring for a shorter fella. Just as long as he doesn't perm his golden locks, such as they are.Have you noticed when we do sometimes lump the ball up top, Lukaku NEVER wins it? In fact Naismith wins many many balls....
Completely astonished by how many fans get sucked in by a striker who scores the odd goal - gotta scratch beneath the surface - if he was 5ft 10 and weighed 11 stone he would not even be a professional footballer.
Technically he is shocking for premier league and international level - seriously the lad can't control a ball, can't time or judge his jumps, has poor balance, is lazy... he is pretty quick and fearsome when running at pace & scores poachers goals thats about it really.
I would honestly put him in the Kenwyne Jones, Ameobe, Heskey, Holt, carroll bracket. The so called potential are the things he just isn't doing very well - and in my opinion is unlikely to improve much on.
I'll try again
He's on £64185.34 according to this site http://www.celebrityincomeinfo.com/romelu-lukaku-salary-details/ which lists him as £76,894 Euros, and the internet converter comes up with that number.
He'll want a pay rise though and that is pretty much top end already so we are still unlikely to be able to afford him even if he's not on Barry's wages..
Honestly, who would you put forward as a replacement?

Let's round it up to £64186, to hell with the 66p, and Bill said there was a few quid knocking about too. If we raise the bar to £64189, I reckon it's on.I'll try again

I'd love to get him, we just won't, he's probably not for sale and if he was, I doubt he would come to us mate.
But:
Alfred Finnbogason
Aron Johannsson
M. Batshuayi
Would be my three preferences.
