Who would you keep? Lukaku, Deulofeu, Baines...

[edge]

Sadly the reality is we will end up without all three gone, but if I had to pick and it were possible baines gone either one of the others in mostly due to baines age and the fact it might be a cheaper position to fill. Think lukaku will have his sights a bit higher than us at the moment long term

This is pure madness here?? I demand a cheese on toast option.

 

[Simon Smith]

How about we sell Baines to Chelski with Lukaku part of the deal with some cash going the other way?

 

[GwladysBlue]

Where do we strengthen in January? I'd like to see another striker brought in incase we dont get Champions League and Lukaku goes. I'd also sell Baines to make our budget bigger. He is 29 now and isn't going to get better, a club like us cant afford to keep players as they get older.

I just see it as a speculative question and voted accordingly, lot of it will not happen. AS for Baines, we have had no clear indication from him what he wishes. He has stalled on a contract and RM has just let it go. So what is that baines wants? he ie 29, perhaps if the price is right then we should lwet him go, we have to at some time so sooner rather than later and get a few bob.

Lukaku transfer = £25m
Lukaku wages = 100k

The bottom line is why we still have BK in charge we will never have players of Lukaku's calibre on permanent contracts.

Way off with those wages. He's on about half that.

Lukaku

Oviedo and Kennedy may not be as good as Baines or Delo, but they could perhaps step up

None of our other strikers are anywhere near as good as Lukaku

You live in a dream world

Option 1 every time. Lukaku is a scoring machine and they don't come along often. Goals win games so he would be worth it.

Back to reality though....we have no chance.

 

[Brennan]

Way off with those wages. He's on about half that.

He won't be when he signs a new contract or moves to a new club. In a world where Glen Johnson can be on 100k a week Lukaku will be on massive money.

Then they will buy Falcao.

I really dont think Jose fancies him at all.

He's not a silky model, Lukaku. He's a power striker which (and I agree with you in full) doesn't seem to fit Jose's style. The hook will be (presuming a utopian world where Everton have cash) will Jose sell him to Everton if Lukaku wants to stay or will he flog him off somewheres else for a larger chunk of change?
