Would you have Lukaku back?

[BernieH]

let it go, he's gone and doubtful he will be back

 

[flibbyflob]

He wouldn't fit in anyway with that first touch and lack of effort. Boss finisher when in the mood but why would we want him back when he wouldn't suit how the manager wants to play. it would be like when Chelsea signed Chris Sutton, great at what he did but pointless getting a player like that for that club as they didn't play in a way to suit him.

 

[liamefc91]

Don’t think i would tbh, no doubt he would score but its refreshing seeing this team work for eachother and it bliss not having him be little the club every international break.

 

[mkrudden]

He'd never want to come back here.

I'd take him because he's a world class finisher.

 

[chrismpw]

I think I said, elsewhere: only on half wages, and only if he understood it were temporary until we find a better fit. We wanna win trophies after all.

 

[goodisonopheliac]

Realistically, no, because I can't see how he'd fit into the current squad.

I'd take Barkley back though.

 

[Berenger]

Of course you would have him, but is he the best option? I’m certain there would be a better package out there in terms of important characteristics: current ability, potential, fitting Silva’s style, transfer fee, wages, and character.

I don’t have my own global scouting network to suggest names (obviously seen the usual suspects touted) but it just seems very unlikely that Lukaku would come out on top for EFC’s model.

 

[riddick]

World class finisher, poor CF.

Nope.

 

[Tel001]

Absolutely , we wouldn’t be drawing with Watford, Huddersfield etc if he was playing

 

[GwladysPhil]

It’s a tough one really as he clearly gets the goals, but lacks other attributes. I’d rather play richarlison out of position up front instead of him under Silva.

So it’s a no.

 

[Steven Verhoeven]

Richarlison and Sig Digne,Bernard assisting lukaku imo would crave them chances!
This team is better than what lukaku played with before having a backwards barkley assist him how much of a step up are we now chances coming from everywhere.
We are missing a top striker like lukaku .....
and maybe a Rb

 

[gonetomorrow]

He could have Niasse's locker.

 

[Strikinglyhandsome1]

It’s a cautionary tale. Never hire Southall as your dietician.

 

[carolinablue232]

Absolutely , we wouldn’t be drawing with Watford, Huddersfield etc if he was playing

He’d likely have pushed Digne off that free kick against Watford and put it in row Z had he been around. He thought he was too big for his britches.

I think he feels he outgrew us and the club as it is looking to develop will hopefully consider better options that allign to Silva’s tactics.

There’s no way he comes back.
