New striker in the summer

I would actually like to see Kone in a full strength team, thing is it is impossible to drop Lukaku the way he is playing right now. Also thought Jelavic would massively benefit from another striker up there with him. I wonder if Martinez will ever use Lukaku and Jelavic up top together.
 
We'll finish 4th above united and Rooney will buy out his contract and return to play with Baines & Barkley.

That'd be nice.
 
It's bittersweet to have such a beast of a striker on loan. But best enjoy it while we can. If we can sneak top 4 then id be optimistic we can shell out a bit of dough for a good striker but probably not lukaku's quality. We'll have to get lucky to finish in the CL spots, any injuries to lukaku and Barkley and we may look a bit light offensively. Still think we need a top quality CB, CMF and striker and then we'd be seriously challenging. Spare £50 million anyone?
 
I think someone suggested Michy Batshuayi and he is actually a very good shout. Physically he is not that far behind to Lukaku, obviously Lukaku is just a beast but, Batshuayi is something like 6'1 or something, has got pace, is quite strong, very athletic and has been scoring for fun since last season. Would be a downgrade from Lukaku but his got plenty of potential and offers us a physical specimen upfront who can score goals. Im guessing his value should be somewhere close to 10M so maybe we could go for another winger/attacking mid or a CB, and hopefully bring back Barry and Delofulelilolu on loan again.
 
we have plenty of time to relay the Striker position.... Its always been our weakest point of the team. The thing is its not too hard to obtain a quality striker these day when your a team involved in the EPL. Lukaku will not be playing for us next season so get that straight. I'm pretty sure Martinez will be scouting South America he seems to like it down there. But to name a few players that would love to come the EPL... Leandro Damiao, Emineke, Welliton, Huntelaar, Maritnez
 
We showed the year we finished 4th that if you have a good run to christmas anything can happen.

IF and its a bloody big IF but if we can somehow manage to get CL then you never know what will happen and who you could attract to the club.

Lets just see where Lukaku and Ross can fires us to this season and just enjoy the ride.
 
Can't wait for us to win the league and then have to turn down signing world class strikers - because we'll already have Rooney, Lukaku and Jelavic.
