Ex Chelsea, PL experienced with 113 goals in four clubs and one of the best strikers in Europe so far.

Had one of the best seasons in Inter, and now when Conte is about to leave, Inter are looking to sell their most valuable players and we're linked with Lukaku.

 If his leaving will be official, I guess our chances getting Lukaku will be higher.

Question is do we really need Lukaku? We do need a striker, but is Lukaku going to be the answer?

My opinion is positive about him, he's 28 and we might get him for 5-6 years, he knows how to score goals and that's what we need. An aggressive striker, who has speed in counter attacks. Together with Werner things can work out. We will have a deadly duo in our attack and will get us more options to use different formations. His days in Chelsea weren't very successful, he had good season in West Brom and Everton, he was decent in Man United as well ( back in that team it was hard to success as a player to be honest ). There's Euro incoming and he's already the top scorer of Belgium.

Conte have left already now.

Think it's extremely likely he'll come here this summer now,

 
The thing with Lukaku, his biggest strength is running into space. We generally tend to play against packed defences. Would he be a good option?

 
Looks like the chances of him leaving are high. He really got on well with Conte and Onters owners want to cut the wage bill and bring in money.

Of course we could go for Martinez rather than Lukaku...

 
• Back-to-back 30 goal seasons.
• Most goal contributions in Serie A this season (34)
• 11 goal contributions against the Serie A top seven.
 

Pretty good stats. Probably the best that we can realistically get. Kane or Haaland aren’t coming. Inter need to sell. Seems to make sense all round. 

 
Rumours about TT has already given the green light to this deal as has Lukakus people. 

Am expecting Marina to be in contact with Inter soon if she has not been so already.

Real Madrid seems very likely given tonight's news. I'll take the Spurs job, sign Nibs, Goose,  Just and Jorginho and take my £9m pay off in December.

Not showing a whole lot of faith in us Loz. Reckon we’d strengthen that lot.

Conte has got to be the most mercenary manager ever. As soon as he knows that there's no money for a transfer kitty, he leaves.

Cos he knows that if he is forced to sell Lukaku, or Martinez, all that hard work will be harder to achieve, he leaves with inter bowing to his majesty..

 
Rom Lu not Tommy's kind of striker too big and powerful, Tuchel prefers quick small wurst eating forwards.

A surprisingly high proportion of his (open play) goals here are him receiving the ball somewhere around the penalty spot with no defender anywhere near him.

On the one hand - Werner on Chelsea form would miss … etc

On the other - there might be some truth to all the comments about Seria A not being a good barometer.

 I really wanted to see him “bully defenders” as someone put it. He seems to have bullied them so effectively that they prefer to stay the f**k away from him. 🙂

If Lukaku is the best we can get also think we should really get Ings too, even though he is injury prone.

Lukaku is not good at unpicking defenses, more scoring when he is in space and holding off a defender.

Ings is a class finisher and reads the game well.
