I second this. Please, no more big, slow strikers that won't ever fit into the team.
Is Griezmann cup-tied for CL?

Yes he is as he is the best attacking player on one of the best teams in Europe. Has that Vietto lad got on at Atletico this season? I heard his name as being an up-and-coming striker over the summer
A great striker yes, and has an excellent record but no way should we sign him.
We've constantly demonstrated that big traditional strikers do not work well with us. Negredo was the only exception for six months but from memory he had a lot more about his game than the typical big lad, and was in form that he never replicated before or since, hardly the metric to go by.
So, unless we totally change our style it would be another big ole waste of cash.

Just reminded me of that outside of the boot pass, oh man.A great striker yes, and has an excellent record but no way should we sign him.

Yeah, in total agreement. Lukaku is great, just don't think he suits our team. Would like Griezmann or Aubameyang, who's happy to be first-choice striker when Aguero's out, but doesn't mind playing in a 2, behind the striker or on the flanks when necessary.

Mourinho let him go, are you saying that Mourinho doesn't 'know football' ;-) ?Anyone who thinks Lukaku isn't good enough for the top level, doesn't know football enough.

Lukaku has benefited from playing week in week out at everton. I just don't see how he'll fare better than the other top class strikers before him that have struggled to find their top form playing in a system where they will never start if aguero is fit. If we want a top class striker who can fill in for Aguero, I think it needs to be somebody who can also be top class playing anywhere in attacking midfield, and is therefore getting games and playing themselves into form irrespective of Aguero's fitness. I don't know who that player is though.
No way. Lukaku can easily turn out like Bony. Plus he will require first team football and needs A LOT of confidence from his surroundings or he is absolutely terrible.
He is scoring well now, but overall I think he has a considerable negative effect on the team performance if he isn't.

Would Lukaku be considered a home grown player for CL squads?

Should do, he has three consecutive seasons at Chelsea/WBA before the season in which he turned 21.

Well that puts him ahead of Jay Rodriguez and Berahino which we've been linked with previously. The only issue would be dealing with Everton, expect him to go for a mint.
Good thing you haven't been in football for a long time. You clearly see the obvious. ;)No way. Lukaku can easily turn out like Bony. Plus he will require first team football and needs A LOT of confidence from his surroundings or he is absolutely terrible.

Why would we want someone deemed not good enough by Chelsea...?
KDB was also not deemed as good for them...just sayin
Oh Snap!
Oh dear.
If you can convince Lukaku to be second choice and a substitute and get Everton to not ask for the Earth's weight in gold then by all means have a go at it. I'll chip in 20p.Lol Lukaku scored yet again today and there are actually some people that don't want Lukaku at this club. Unbelievable....
