Apparently chealsea have said they want 25 million for lukaku. If we spend 25 on him I think we still need to spend another 20 on other players

If we spend £25 million on him, they want their bloody heads testing.

We could probably get Bony for around 15 million. I'd sooner we do a deal like that.

Yep agree with all above we can prob afford it just we need to bolster in other areas even more so if we get Europe then need more depth in the squad.

Ed given steven naismiths perfomance in turning the game around against fulham do you think he warrants a starting place this weekend in what is really a must win game against arsenal if you are to have a chance of making the top 4. I think he does simply because he was outstanding against fulham when he came on and certainly won everton the points and also he got man of the match the thing is who drop's out if he is to start.

{Ed025's Note - I would like to see him start jimmy, but who to drop is the big question, I think I will just leave it to the master tactician bobby mate..

Further to my post down below. thanks for the positive comments Cowpat Sid and Ollie Jennings. I would add that the so called top 4 is actually potentially a top 6 or 7. When you consider that Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, The reds, Us, Man Utd, and Spurs are all capable of putting a winning run of a few games together. or alternatively any of the squads could lose an important player (Van Persie at Utd for example) that makes a team drop valuable points.then this leaves a situation where 3 clubs will invest heavily in order to gamble for Champions League qualification and get the financial returns that come with it. but actually will not get that return. What is very important for us is that we have hauled ourselves into this position without taking a gamble on ever increasing debt. I suspect that in the next 5 or 6 years one of these big clubs will file for bankrupcy in a similar fashion to Glasgow Rangers. The sums of 7 into 4 just do not fit.

I think we can rule out Arsenal going bankrupt IMO they are run on a very sound financial footing, much like ourselves. If for some reason the money left MC and Chelski they will be in all sorts of trouble. However, as things are at present Spuds have got to be the favourite to have some sort of money problems. It will be interesting to see their transfer strategy in the next window as they don't have another Bale to sell for stupid money. There may be a fair few of the current crop on the market
