Player Valuation: £70m
Alas, it's a long process getting the right mix of players together. Moyes never had the cash during that period to get that type of player when he might have been able to kick the team on a level.Such a shame that when we had Lukaku in good form the rest of the team was utterly turgid. Imagine Lukaku at the top of some of Moyes’ best teams, we’d have been top 4 a couple of times.
And then Lukaku was never backed up by sufficiently good team mates - though if the team mates were better, perhaps Rom would have looked out of place.
Consistency in management and bucket loads of cash are the only way to speed up the chance to get to that position. Even then it's not guaranteed.
As for our current striking requirement, I really would love to see a Thierry Henry style player come in. The only problem is that there's probably about a good dozen of teams with more pull that would go for him before us.
