Lukakus successor

[The Rhino]

We will have to wait and see what happens, I wouldn't want to put all our hopes on a 20 year old from Celtic - never been massively impressed with him myself.

Agree mate I think it's imperative we sign atleast 3 forwards this summer:

1. A proven striker in this league- Austin/Giroud/Benteke £25-30 million

2. A risky signing that could prove a bargain- Batshuyai/Dembele/Dolberg £25-30 million

3. A squad player who can come in and play in the EL early rounds/rotate- Rooney/Perez/Valencia £10-15 million


Either that or go big and try splurge a wad on a Lacazette/Belotti type £50 million forward which is highly unlikely mind unless Moshiri wants to make a statement.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

I'm not sure on dembele.

Jelavic was the king of Scotland for about 3 years and the talent over there is poor.

 

[catcherintherye]

I'm not sure on the Ajax kid. He's pacey for sure. But PL defenders have that in spades (apart from ours, of course!), but I dont think he;s physical enough from the few bits and pieces I've seen. Not a Koeman type, imo.

Who would you fancy to replace Lukaku mate?

 

[heatmeiser]

We're going to splurge 250k a week on Rooney aren't we?

 

[whiteshadow]

Batshyuai + Slimani or Bentenke.

Griezmann

Griezmann

Same.
If Rom is going I want someone better than him.

Time to make a statement as I am so sick and tired of gamble signings and cast offs.

A few of the Monaco lads look useful too.

Yeah. But in the real world it won't happen.

If we don't want to look small time, we need this mate. We can't lose a big name and sign a nobody.

Same here mate, massive gamble

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

And that is why I love Everton but detest football.

I will only invest in it when I see us competing where we belong.

Makes me utterly miserable otherwise.
I just long for the days of Southall and Sharp etc again.

Inaki Williams

 

[MartSlinger]

Batshuayi & Perez. Then add quality around them. We arent bagging a striker similar to Rom this summer, no chance.

 

[The Rhino]

Inaki Williams

Him and a strong Giroud/Austin type striker would be top quality. I'm very excited for the summer think Koeman will enjoy the rebuild.

We all do. But Southall came from Bury and Sharp from Dumbarton.

We just have to make the players the best. We've done it before.

Game is infested with cancerous agents and unscrupulous media hacks these days.

I am just very cynical about it all now.
