Romelu Lukaku

[crzdcolombian]

They took a 66% hit on Pulisic who is more marketable and way younger with an actual upside.

They should be willing to take the same hit on a guy with insane wages who they don’t want and doesn’t want to be at their club

Lukaku has more followers on Instagram than Pulisic. Pulisic isn't more marketable. Americans aren't going to seek out Milan games because of him.

Selling Onana for the ability to fail signing Lukaku. Only Marotta can pull off such genius transfer work. How we aren’t finding an agreement with Chelsea before shipping off Onana is hilarious.

It's the ecology of Inter financial situation; "everything is connected to everything else". Probably true with a lot cash strapped clubs, Inter's is especially acute since everyone knows about it. Moreover, lots of personnel turnover so lots of slots to fill. Hence, the pazza juggling act.

 

[CoolMan44]

I get the reservation everyone has with paying big money for Lukaku and giving him a big salary. 40 million is way too much imo. However, if we don't get Lukaku, we need to get either someone experienced who can really contribute now or a very talented younger player like Hojlund if possible. Failing to get Lukaku and settling for someone not good enough would essentially mean Correa jumps to 3rd in the pecking order.

Hoijlund is hardly a sure thing - nor is Lukaku, obviously, but still. Why do people keep throwing around these 20 year olds like they're guaranteed fucking peak Adriano?

50m euros Holjund, like it or not, still more better option and reasonable over 58 million pounds Lukaku...

Holjund has potential high resale value, Lukaku not.

No interest in any of those 3.

 

[qb4ever_2k]

Rather refund Chelsea entirely than touch any of those 3.

Come on. The alternatives should meet 2 criteria:
1. Reasonably priced.
2. Substantially better than Marcus Thuram.

The names people have mentioned so far tend to fail both criteria. Lukaku at least meets the 2nd while the 1st is debatable.

The problem with Lukaku is his salary, the contract length and the not existent release value. He will be good for us, but for how long? 2-3 seasons at most, and if he stays injury free, which is debatable. What we gonna do for the rest period, which could be the half of his contract? So, spending 45 mln for such a kind of risk is not wise in my view. Honestly is much better to throw those money for Beto and Retegui for instance.

A lot of players are better at some things than Thuram. We have Lautaro who is a hard worker and scores bangers, we have Thuram who will be good at counterattacks, now we need either a more creative attacking player (like Sanchez/Firmino) or somebody who would be a finisher (like Icardi).

The fourth option would be a big presence like Džeko. Lukaku kinda fits that description but he costs too much. But we probably won't get a chance to sell Correa anyway

 

[PHM1605]

That is why it was so retarded to choose Lukaku instead of Dybala last season. Usually I don't like injury prone players but still, the cost per contribution is way on favor of the Argentinian. One you really own, one you have to pay, heavily.

People who excused for Lukaku last year "it was only a loan" now please, make your calculation again? Transfer fee plus the salary difference? Not another excuse such as "there is no one better on the market" as we were to blame letting the chance pass away.

Okay but why you quoted me though?

 

[Corrode]

Dzeko/Lukaku replacement must not be hard to find. an OK forward can do the job. If 37 yo Dzeko can do the job successfully, why shouldn't Okereke, Nzola, Morata, Piatek, Beto, Dia do the job?
