Westlo

Barca would be silly to waste 12m on him.....they'll be better off putting that 12m to use by keeping Messi happy and giving him a new deal, Would also do us all a favor and stop the Messi to City, PSG, United etc tabiod stories.

Holy shit, Origi is very good yet Lukaku isn't great.smh. Origi is mostly potential, Lukaku is proven and still has a lot of potential to fill. As 19 year olds Origi scored 5 goals for Lille, meanwhile Lukaku scored 17 for West Brom including a hatrick in Sir Alex final game. Origi had a good spell at one stage while Lukaku was poor, the difference between them has returned to normal levels. 17 in 35 for West Brom, 64 in 132 for us, 19 in 54 for Belgium Vs 13 in 63 for Lille (not counting the season he moved their), 9 in 35 for Liverpool and 3 in 22 for Belgium. They're not close and they never will be except for one six month period where Origi was at his best and Lukaku at his worst.

It's hilarious that people wanted to run the Lukaku is only goals argument... like fuck it's only goals, who needs that in the first place but ignoring that.... 2013/2014 15 Goals, 6 Assists (2nd best in assists) 2014/2015 10 Goals, 5 Assists (2nd best in assists) 2015/2016 18 Goals, 6 Assists (3rd best in assists) 2016/2017 21 Goals, 6 Assists (2nd best in assists) Yep, he nowhere near being a great footballer, he's only been our top goalscorer for 4 seasons and top 2 in assists for 3 out of 4 seasons and he'll probably go for stupid money if he gets sold..... He'll be winning the golden boot by a street if he was taking pens like all his competitors........ Wow imagine how good he would be if he was a great footballer. Until the stadium is announced it means nothing. More than half the squad might not even be playing for us by the time it's built..... if it's announced. And spending an extra 27.1 million on players (23-24 mil depending on how much Sunderland paid for Oviedeo) isn't a fair chunk. Especially if Deulofeu, Cleverley and Niasse's buy on loan options are taken..... we'll nearly be even on transfer spend if they all go.... It's like players can't do maths themselves or something lol.... You know what would show ambition? Announcing the stadium and spending 100m on players while keeping our best players in the team. Not selling Rom for 80m, others for 20m and spending 90-110 million. We're closer to Champions League with Rom in the side than without and with Arsenal in the shape they are right now..... (cya Sanchez)

I'm pretty sure Conte wanted him @ Chelsea except they wouldn't pay our price and settled on Batshuayi... there was articles and news going around that Conte wasn't happy with their transfer policy.... don't forget he walked away from Juve because of stuff like that.... That stuff gets forgotten now that they're walking the league but considering he hardly plays Batshuayi and their was rumors of him being sent to Swansea on loan in exchange for Llorente..... If Costa pisses off I'm sure Chelsea will go hard for either Lukaku or Morata.... Lukaku's clearly the superior option... heck could even see Lukaku going to Real while Morata goes to Chelsea or Arsenal...

Worth the transfer fee and Martinez's buyout just for the 2 goals he scored,

Yep, superb in all aspects at the moment.

They've been playing 3 at the back for a while now, saw comments before the city game that we were doing the spurs line up.... http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-create-more-chances-in-new-system-with-three-at-the-back-says-christian-eriksen-a3440991.html

Real good bit of business by Bournemouth their, big upgrade on their current keeper.

Would've been fuming too..... he wasn't even getting the cup games was he?

He was great for Barca, it's like he completely fell off as soon as he stepped foot in England... though I guess the signs of him falling off were on shown considering Ter Stegen had supplanted him,.

Was clearly banter, he was ribbing him.

Rom's scored 5 times in the last 4 seasons against city, imagine how good he would be if he scored goals against top teams as well. EDIT - FUCK YEAH KEV

Killed it for me in FM 15 IIRC Get him in!

He claps Baines as soon as it hits the net.... head down overhead clap.... It's hilarious how you're so quick to jump on any negative thing about Lukaku whether it's fiction or not. And you wonder why people give you shit over him.

lol @ 12m for Mertens in his current form.... Napoil would be asking for triple that for starters.

You can look @ this another way.... I'll prefer a striker to score 18 and we finish 11th as opposed to our top scorer getting 8 and us finishing 18th,...
