I realise we are unlikely to get somebody "as good" as Lukaku, it still doesnt mean hes our only option.
I have faith in Brands, but hes not Merlin and whoever he gets will be a major risk, but for many, many, many reasons, I personally dont consider Lukaku a viable option.
I notice you didnt deny you are trolling doh.
Which fred OrlyVanMultihunter?
Be lucky if he gets 15 goals this season, put it this way, he wont get a goal for every stone the fat munter weighs.
I have faith in Brands for every position of the squad except the striker department as thats because there is such a lack of good quality strikers out there.
Man City once had Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko and Ballotelli on their books
They now have Aguero and Jesus (who isn't top quality yet imo)
Chelsea once had the likes of Drogba
now they have Morata and Giroud
Utd - Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez
Rom, Martial, Rashford not on the same level
Real Madrid dont even have a glut of quality up top compared to players of old.
As others have said if we could sign someone like Werner that would be my first choice, but im doubtful which is why I would go for Rom if he leaves Utd.
Rom gave us 4 seasons whereas Wayne gave us 1 yet people had Rooney back and he was a blue from crocky not a Chelsea fan from Belgium.
