Winter Transfer Speculation

Well we thought that before Ozil and Alexis, two signings we'd never thought we'd see under Wenger.

So before we tie the chord around our neck and kick away the chair, let's see what happens.

We've signed a world class player in each of the last 3 summers. No reason to think it'll stop now.

Yeah but apparently it is now time to stop dreaming.

You can prove anything with facts

Cheeky £50m bid for Lukaku? If not now, then we need to in the summer. Forget Benzema, Cavani and Lacazette, this boy is the future. He's already said he wants to play under Wenger, he's at a great age and outgrowing Everton sooner rather than later, so time to bring out the Dick Law.

Aye, I think an under the radar type signing to fill in for Bellerin would be cool, I'm still not sold on Jenks though I suspect Wenger may well ride it out with Chambers filling in for Bellerin and bring Jenks back in the summer as number 2 to Bellerin.

Would love Lukaku but we aint going to be spending that kind of money on him, he's a class act though.

I'd fucking love Lukaku here as he's perfect for us but that's a summer mega transfer type move if I ever saw one. Given how strong Everton were in holding on to Stones, there's no way we could realistically prise him away in January. Wouldn't be suprised either if Utd tried to get in on the action considering that Wazza is past it and if it turns into a straight bidding war with them, we usually don't play ball. Though if they don't get CL football and continue to be a shambles mangerialy, he may just prefer to come here.

Lukaku being fed by Ozil for the next 5 years. :cloud9:

I personally think Lukaku is wishlist material now, our time to get him was from Chelsea. If he does move it will be for serious money and I suspect City and United will get involved, Wenger won't entertain any auction, he never does. Wenger has bought some world class players over the past few years so that isn't in question, however they have been players that have been pretty much publically made available as oppose to us going for them off the back of an ambitious bid.

Lukaku is great. Can't think of many players who had over 50 PL goals at 22. It would probably eclipse the 50m Chelsea paid for Torres but it would be worth it considering how much of his career is left infront of him.

Chelsea wouldn't have sold him to us. They wouldn't even give us Ba on loan.

We should really go all out for Lukaku. Like really really.

Maybe...Maybe not...

They seemed quite keen to get him off their books albeit at a high price. I get the impression he fell out with Maureen so you never know...but I do take your point that Maureen was very reluctant to do business with us.
