Lukaku

I can't think of any sitters he has missed or anything like that.

The 1 yard header against Norwich was harder to miss than score. Lukaku is far from the finished article but has done well this season. I honestly expected a bit more though, especially after he bagged 2 in the derby having played quite poor for alot of that game. He really should have bagged at least 4!

Do you rate him enough for us to pay over the odds for him? That's an ambiguous question, I know, but have a crack...

Personally, I don't think he's as good as people make out and wouldn't want to pay the amount that Chelski would hold out for him.

20-25mil would be a fair price to me but you/others may see that as over the odds. Any side in one of the top leagues would pay big money for someone scoring a goal every 2 games.

guarentee you said it when the season started though. and guarentee you stopped saying it only a couple of weeks ago.

Well you'd be wrong with that statement but that's ok. We're all wrong from time to time.

Jury is still out on Kone. Can't write him off or say he'll be a great signing yet.

 

[Zatara]

Kone is now 30 years old. No matter what circumstances there are, he cost 6mil and will have 2 years left on contract after this season. Alcaraz will have a season left and although 'free' he still will have got some payments for signing etc.

Kone as 2nd/3rd choice forward is fine, as is alcaraz as 4th/5th choice centre back. However NO WAY are they either good enough for a team aspiring for top4 or worthwhile paying out salaries on when we have limited funds. Hopefully Long/Hope will pad out the forward options and overtake him in the pecking order.

Regardless of how we get on this week were well in the race for 4th. Having looked at our fixtures 5 of the next 6 league games are at home and very winnable. The fact that Lukaku will be back only reinforces that.

...do not think that is correct

I think 4 of the next 6 are

Sorry, it was 4 of the next 5 league games are at home.

West Ham, Cardiff, Swansea, Arsenal with Fulham thrown in away.

We may also have Palace at home arranged in there somewhere.

Anything less than 12 points from those is failure.

And it could easily be 15.

We will slip up on one if the atmosphere is still dead.

haha mental mate. They live in a different world don't they?

Mind you, it was only uploaded 20mins ago so they have probably finished training anyway. Would be sound to clock off at noon every day. Seen Suarez in Cavern Walks and he spent about £2000. I felt sick when the bird said it and he didn't even bat an eyelid.

Would have a had a big impact for either team yesterday.
