2/10 do not want....
In fact i would actually be annoyed if we got him...
I know I'm just repeating myself
But I still believe Swansea even over paid for him,
For all we know he is going to flop hard this season after an ok first in the epl... It's far to risky for 18-20 m especially when for 5-8+ Lukaku a proven kid who is only going to get better is available...

Honestly think our priorities should lie elsewhere - LB, CB, LW first.

Surely you don't spend £28m on a striker and simply write him off because he had one poor season in a new league with constant upheaval with managers, systems etc? Or maybe you do.

There is no way Lukaku is available for 5-8 million. Assuming the chavs would sell him to us.

Bony would provide good cover and gives MP options. However I would prefer to sign a great lb and cb and focus on those areas this window.

Hell would freeze over before Chelsea let us have Lukaku for 5-8m.

Haven't we already signed Ben Davies 'Henry'?

I don't think bony or lukaku are what we really need. Give this manager time and see what happens

Shopping list:
GK - Karl Darlow
LB - Ben Davies
CB - Jamaal Lascelles
CM - Morgan Schneiderlin (Sandro sold due to fitness worries)
LW - Jay Rodriguez

The price probably won't be a show stopper as Levy will be valuing Siggy at £28-£30m in part ex
