We were able to sign a young Lukaku who was still a way off from being as good as he is now. That's what we need to look for this summer.

We won't be buying anyone who is the finished article with loads of the big clubs sniffing around. We'll be after players with a lot of promise who are looking to move away from a bigger club for minutes (like that Iheanacho fella at City) or someone who isn't quite ready for the Champions League but is playing for a smaller team than us at the moment (Possibly someone like the Belotti fella at Torino, but there's loads sniffing round him).

It gets even harder to do now because if you're a player that's very good but not good enough for the Champions League teams then China will rain money on you.

That's the problem isn't it?

We'll be getting a ton of money for Lukaku in theory. But won't be able to spend it on an equivalent player such as Lacazette or Aubamayang or maybe slightly below that level as they simply won't come here.

Which as you say leaves us not buying the finished article which adds an element of risk as they might end up being crap.

I HATE THIS

This is maybe why we should perhaps get a proven mid level PL striker whilst also getting a promising looking younger player too?

For example, Chicharito and Dembele

One has played in the Premier League and has slotted, one has shown glimpses but is still young and raw

I wouldn't be too keen on someone say 29 or over. But that's just me. If said person came in and slotted then it wouldn't take long to change my mind.

Some of the players mentioned would mean we'd have to change our style too.

Basically we need Rom's brother to not be a sh*te full back really.
