Great points mate, KDH is a great example of the swallowed up at a CL profile - not even his biggest fans I think would have predicted his influence and impact.
Also not saying he’s the answer or haven’t seen credible links rwally, but I wouldn’t minimise him as a player based solely on his...
...in the England team for us. It worked with Pienaar and Arteta previously as well.
Not saying Delap is the answer upfront but the strategy of looking for a good player who maybe hasn’t made it into the team at a CL club for any various reason isn’t a bad one. Lukaku is another really good...
I think there's bigger issues in the side than Beto, but agree if there's an upgrade to be had then crack on. He's absolutely the best option we've got currently and hope he continues in this form.
All he can do is bundle the ball across the line? I've seen several quality finishes from him. Today's was a decent finish, maybe not 'quality', but decent. Have you not seen them?
...just that when it truly comes down to it, we're talking very very low level of quality. But that's been the story of EFC No9s since the day Lukaku left as well as before he ever arrived. It's why the top teams who win things dont carry passengers, but we do. All Beto can do is keep trying to...
Yak was good but it was 1 season and he scored 15. Less than DCLs best PL season.
Lukaku is the only striker we have had in the PL era to score highly (15+) over more than 1 season.
which we will address in the summer
we have the worst strikers in the league
and goals win games
and yet we’re doing well
imagine with a proper scorer who knows we would be?
Absolutely spot on.
In our entire Prem history the only decent goal scorer we've ever had was Lukaku who was here for 4 years was it and still tops the goal scoring charts. I don't know if any team in the Prem has been as consistently bad at finding goal scorers as us, yet some how we find ways...
I fail to see what you see in Martinez Davek. One good season for us then he failed massively despite having a good side and Lukaku up top. Got Wigan relegated (winning the FA Cup was good sure but systematic of his streaky management ability) And even Steve McClaren and Roberto di Matteo have...
I did.
"Any number of online tools can give you an answer, but it seems that around £45m in 2013 is broadly equivalent to £110m today.
So the summer of buying Lukaku (which was great business) comes close."
You're welcome
You realise football finance isn't the same as CPI?

Not good, not good at all. Inexperienced ref appointed to a massive game that has huge implications for both clubs. Something feels very off to me about this ref appointment by the prem League.
...from fans to have believed he was the finished article and there wouldn't be some serious bedding in. I don't think he will ever become a Lukaku for us but he could become a 10 goal a season in the league player for us which is good enough to be one of the options in the squad and worth...
It's somebody from the 80's team. Probably Nev.
In terms of value, there's been a fair few, but they fall down on their contributions compared to people from the 80's.
David Weir, Paul Rideout, Pienaar, Lescott, Lukaku, Gana Gueye, Parkinson.
