I can't either to be honest, we'll take him as hopefully he's a decent DM, but in reality the we needed a striker and a centre back more, he's now signed Elneny and this guy and we also have Coquelin. No DM for years and now he signs two in 6 months, what a joker.Originally Posted by Power_n_Glory
Yes he does. He believes in the Glorious Leader. Himself.
Any other leader - GTFO!

Lukaku is who we should sign. It makes sense on so many levels.
He scored 18 league goals (and 26 in all comps) for Everton last year and they were terrible for 1/2 the season. He's got premier league experience, he's young and he would fit nicely into our front line with Alexis and Mahrez (haha)
I would happily talk to him and convince him to sign. It would be so easy. Just remind him that Ozil, Cazorla and Alexis will be providing him with 5 chances minimum a match, he's guaranteed to score goals. He'll score 30+ goals a season and become the world class player he wants to be. Plus here's 150k a week. and we're in the CL.
Sell Walcott to Everton for 5m as part of the deal (hell just give him away to make it happen)
Yes we would have to pay £50m for him but so what? If we keep him for 5 years that's 10m a season which is good value. We'll spend that anyway buying and selling strikers in that time trying to find someone good.

Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Lukaku would probably be my first choice striker for the reasons you mention but 50 million or more on top of everything else.
No chance whatsoever.
Yeah, I don't think we've paid for leadership when looking at Xhaka.
I like Elneny and think he's a good edition. Coquelin is a solid player as well. Ramsey and Wilshere can provide cover and competition for CM and DM. Plus we have Cazorla who should remain first choice. I can't see the need for Xhaka to be honest and there wasn't anything in his game for Switzerland that I thought we badly miss in our team. Time will tell.
For me, if we're not going to get a striker then we need a goal scoring winger or a more attack minded AM. Heck, I'm tempted to say we should play Ozil as CM or out wide if we're sticking with Giroud up front. Let him dictate play from further back and get the ball to someone more aggressive when approaching the box. Ramsey, Cazorla or Sanchez maybe. Giroud needs to be able to play off someone that is going to get into the box as we saw from the Euros. He and Ozil are like oil and water. The only way I can Ozil supplying Giroud is through crosses so maybe we swap Ozil and Sanchez around.
Whatever happens, we need to try something different and Xhaka just doesn't look like he's going to be the difference.
I agree we won't spend 50m on Lukaka but realistically we could afford to and he's a striker who would definitely improve us. I fully expect us to not sign a striker which is infuriating.
Lacazette is available
We just have to pay £40m for him which we don't want to do
Maybe he's worth £25m max, who cares, just bid the money and sell a waste of space like Theo ffs
I'd take Lacazette over Lukaku, as we saw in the Euro's Lukaku is clueless up front, terrible movement, awful finishing and seems a bit lazy too, Everton can keep him.
If a striker costs 40 million, pay the 40 million it's not like we're not rolling in it.
Seems to be good with the ball and at dribbling. Makes too much sense to not happen I guess. Realistically, he's the only striker we can get now.
