Lukaku for me.

Anyone not named Ibrahimovic.

Out of those four Higuaín 24/7/365/year

Our chances of getting him are less than zero though.

Dont think I've ever seen Lukakakakakakaku play!

Ibrahimovic has been there, done it, proved it and got the reputation, and Bobby likes him. For some reason fans in England treat a world superstar like Barry Conlan, but if Bobby thinks he'll enhance our title chances, that's good enough for me!

you and i should just stop courting and get married today. You are right again sir. Esp. if we lost Tevez.

cheers

If ever there was a player made for the prem it's lukaku. He's built like a brick shithouse. Those
wet Monday nights at Stoke would be his bread and butter. He is a heskey with skill and goal scoring ability.

Higuaín at all costs!

This isn't fucking twitter, stop hashtagging. #irritated

Anyway, I've only seen Higuain and Ibrahimovic with any regularity, and I'd go with Higuain on that. I did see Cavani in the flesh once in a friendly, but it's impossible to gauge in that kind of game. Lukaku I've heard great things about, but I'm not sure anyone who raves about him actually watches him play all that much. He could be the next Drogba, he could eclipse Drogba, or he could be playing for Huddersfield by the time he's 25.

No to the Italian, absolutely terrifying to think of ibra.

Higuan may be too slow...I think I've got the right man.

Lukaku, absolutely the right player to be going for.

Which Italian do you refer to......?

Honestly, I can't believe that anyone who is saying that Lukaku is the man for us has seen anything like enough of him to judge. The above post, in which I assume the poster is referring to Cavani as an Italian, sort of proves the point.

I watch a lot of football, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Eurosport goals, Euro round up on ESPN and I haven't seen this fucker. Yet, if I take what they say on face value, then there are so many people on here who know certain players throughout Europe like the back of their hands. How?

So, to those of you who reckon Lukaku is the man we should break the bank for, (above Ibra, Cavani and Higuain) in our biggest season for years, tell me why and what you've seen of him to form that opinion, please. And for those of you who rate Cavani, the Italian, what has he done to impress you?

Id like an answer to this also. Great Q cityger....

heard he is good on football manager, so that will do for me!

I've seen Lukaku play twice and a highlights package. He is huge. Really really huge. Brick shithouse is the best I could come up with. He's skillful, scores some great goals and has the potential to get better. A question mark on his speed but you wouldn't use him for that. He's a true battering ram. He may be a bit one footed but he's young enough to work on that. Oh, did I mention he's really really young? Like 17. HIs goalscoring record is the equal of Shrek's at that age. He'd also be happy to be our fourth striker in the pecking order and would push them all the way.

He'd be a good fit.

Dazb, the same thing we heard about Freddy Adu a while back, and look where he is now. I think in the Lukaku case, Vinnie can convince Bob if he is City material or not, because he knows him well
Anderlecht youth academy raised Vinnie and that's enough for me in the Lukaku case.

Adu was doing it as a15 year old and was a scrawny runt. Lukaku is a fully physically mature 17 year old banging em in for fun. There are few similarities.

Lukaku, star in the making, plus more Belgians in our squad!
