I've seen the debate on signing Lukaku and weather it's a step back with nostalgia but I read his contract is about to expire so if we were to get him on a free wouldn't it make sense for a season or two because pinky and perky are useless up top.

Seriously, what is the point in this all new recruitment team and ending up with all these oldies. The brief should be clear, young talent with room to progress, with a resale value.

The Richarlison chat hasn't even started yet.

Providing he is able to pass a serious fitness examination, then a short-term deal would be a good move. He may need someone like Beto to do his running, that would mean a 442 set-up, but all the chances that went begging last season, would I believe see us finishing much higher in the table.

The recruitment team seem to be running in treacle, and with the two useless clowns we have up top, I'd take Lukaku on a free all day long. Let me know when the recruitment team unearth a gem.

Well he would have to lose a bit of timber. Sorry, but the guy has had his day. We should be looking for the next Lukaku, not the once was version.

Do u have faith in our recruitment team for it? They unearthed the next hat stand in TB. The head of our team is one Mr R Charles, and his assistant a Mr S Wonder.

If this is true it's a desperate move or we don't have any money.

I honestly can't believe we would honestly consider Lukaku, if we are going to go down that route I would rather have Vardy.

To be devil's advocate. He played less than 40mins all season, yet had a pretty impressive impact on a decrepit and injury-hit Belgium as the lone striker. Just saying. I wouldn't be angry with what I saw of him. Sure, we need the new Lukaku, I agree with that, but if there was a new Lukaku out there, he'd not be coming here. And, even at his age, with the extra timber, he's way better than BB and would be cheap. Also a DM punisher would shave some of that off.
I think he'll take one last pay day and go Saudi myself, but we can't just buy a youth team and wait 3 or 4 seasons for them to flourish. We need a few old gits. On 2-year deals. It's a balance of kids and pros who can keep the general upturn whilst those kids become men. I was definitely in the Vardy camp last summer and he proved when fit he scores goals, but this summer? Nah, even a 50% Lukaku is still an EPL threat. Vardy is a year older and the pace in Italy is his lane.
