Out of interest, what would you value Lukaku at?

True.
I guess the hard part is figuring out early on which players are 'really' interested in coming to us when we make an enquiry. A lot of agents are going to lie and play off interest from clubs against each other to try and draw bids from bigger clubs. I guess it's similar to poker, trying to figure out which agent is just playing you.
Not a chance...2 more years at 85 grand when he can be earning double that at least...he will be sold for 100 millions this summer or sign a new contract

Don't forget Kenwright said Rooney was worth £50m and then sold him for half of that.
Is that when kenwright didn't have a pot to piss in

You just said with or without Rom next season we won't finish above 5th and then say let Keoman rebuild? Rebuild for what? To finish 5th at best? Because you said with or without Rom we'll finish no higher than 5th! My head hurts I'm confused???
Remind me of when we last finished in the top 4 mate? Did we have Rooney or Marcus Bent up top?
I'm sorry but the whole argument of keeping Rom so we can finish 4th is rubbish. Our chances are slim for the top 4 and that's not including us having Europa League to contend with.

Id say we have a better chance of finishing top 4 if we have the premier leagues top scorer from the 2016/17 season.

£100m, the r/s are in meltdown on the comments page in the Red Echo.
Buying 2 lottery tickets instead of 1 gives me a better chance of winning the lotto doesn't mean I'm going to sack off my job in anticipation of picking up my winnings.
We will finish 7th this season, we have finished 5th and 6th many more times and some of those without a top striker at the club. We are just as far behind the top 4/5 clubs than we always have been, the amount of fans who are expecting us to finish top 4 next season whilst juggling the Europa league and hopefully the 2 domestic cups is kopite level deluded.
Aim for it by all means but don't do yourself out of £40-50 million by keeping a player who doesn't want to be here in the very faint hope.
Keeping Stones when he had 3/4 years left on his deal was excellent business, keeping Rom who only has 2 is poor business if he doesn't sign a new deal and the likely result is we might at best finish 5/6th instead of 7th next year and take a massive financial hit the following year when he's sold on the relative cheap.

Makes no difference, he shouldn't have been giving it the big one about no one can afford him, then it was not for less than £50m, in the end it was too low a figure. Hopefully they make a stand this time.
