Saw him once at Lidl. It took him nine attempts to get the pound coin in the slot for a trolley.

I bet the 9th attempt came at a critical time though.

If Lukaku leaves who have we got to play striker?

Kone or Niasse! One or both of them might leave too

Bony, Dzeko and Long.

Obligatory player linked video incoming, in short IF we got anything like this version of the player then we'd have a new crowd favourite and probably captain

Sticking with my prediction.

£61 million on that bunch and I am done with football and maybe even life.

Still don't need to buy 3 strikers.

Id take Long if Lukaku is staying, he is an improvement on our other two options. Wouldnt be my choice, and yes he is better than Naismith ffs.

So if lukaku leaves and Kone too,

Would you be happy with Niasse and one other as our striking options?

We need options and quality if we going to push on

So we have already seen the squad depleted with the departures of Howard, Pienaar, Hibbo and Osman. Surely there is a need to clean up the Mcgeady and Kone disasters. Niasse should stay for at least another season - it was a lot of money and right now it would be really bad business to sell him. Koeman(s) might be able to get something out of him. Gibbo's contract was a surprise but Barry and Jags are no Benjamin Buttons and Bainesy is heading that way....
Should Lukaku (likely), mirralas and Stones (less likely) go we are looking at how many replacements to bring in? We have a bunch of talented kids plus robles, coleman, baines, oviedo, funes mori, mccarthy, cleverly, barkley, besic, deulofeu, Lennon, Gibbo, who have at least a season in the prem under their belts... thats 12 or 14 with Jags and Barry. With 3-4 youngsters getting a chance this season we probably need about 6 -7 signings. suddenly 100M is not enough, even if adding money from sales.

Been thinking exactly the same, major rebuilding job to be done.

Just hope Koeman is up to it, player prices are going to be rediculous this summer too

Perhaps this is why getting a really good transfer expert or DoF is important.

No what I'm saying is that we don't need to buy 3 top strikers if Lukaku leaves, one will do with a younger player with potential as back up.

No team in the league has 2 top strikers, never mind 3.

PeterMeter · June 16, 2016

GK: Robles
DEF: Jags, Funes Mori, Stones, Pennington, Galloway, Browning, Baines, Garbutt, Oviedo, Coleman
MID: Barry, Besic, McCarthy, Gibson, Cleverley, Barkley, Mirallas, Deulofeu, Lennon, McGeady
FOR: Kone, Niasse, Lukaku, McAleny, Tarishaj

Youngsters: Kenny, Holgate, Foulds, Ledson, Davies, Dowell, Henen, Connolly, Leandro Rodrigues, Sambou

Definitely a top class goalkeeper, depth needed at RB and up top. World class LW.
If Koeman gets everyone fit and ready to play I don't think there's any immediate demand to buy a whole new team.
2 definite ins, maybe 2-3 squad players with potential to be starters in a year or two and bring in more of the youngsters.

If, as mentioned, we go for a CM (Strootman, Witsel linked) then I hope it's someone who can really push and organise everyone around them on, more than being a superior playmaker. Barkley, Jags, Barry, Baines are all too silent for the role they have in our squad. Need more vocal players who can get the team moving. An on-field general so to speak.
