Romelu Lukaku

[RandomJ]

I've come around to this. He and Kev are on the same wavelength and it means we don't fill Levy's pockets.

Unstoppable this season. If you still doubt him then you are just a clown

On form and familiarity you have a good case.

However, England don't really have the creative central midfielder to allow Kane to shine.

He talks better English than Kane also!

The thing is, he was technically poor at United, but it's been very well publicised how much Conte changed his game, how he improved his hold up play and touch. You could see it at Inter, but a lot of people won't watch those games and refused to believe it.

He gets assists too - almost as many as Kane.

I think Pep would really like the way he can play on the right. You can imagine the inter play between him and Jesus or Torres or Sterling coming inside when he runs in behind right, or KDB going to false 9 like Belgium did in the last game.

Also I do wonder how much he could improve under Pep in other areas? We know he's serious about learning and will put the effort in, we know he responds to coaching at that most basic, technical level.


Whoever we sign at striker we will be doing very well if Kane, Lukaku, Haaland are the options on the table.

Give KdB the striker he wants

Always been a good striker but looks lethal now.

KDB can supply ammo to any striker but he and Lukaku do work particularly well together.

My first choice remains Haaland (based on age if nothing else) but I would prefer us to go for Lukaku ahead of Kane and I think he would be easier to buy at the kind of money City are supposed to be prepared to pay.

This is what makes him worth consideration above just his ability.The link up between the two is almost telepathic
