Michu leading the line will be exactly what other clubs would hope for.  Add Llorente with him and we will witness the club crashing out of the CL at the group stages and missing out on TOP 4 .  Mediocre strikers equates to mediocre results.

Although i agree it would be quite far from ideal, we did finish 3rd with Torres "leading" the line.

Pipe Sierra says we have made an official bid for Auba - 56,9mln. pounds today.

Is he a reputable source? 

hoping that he decide to stay at bvb or someone else hijack this deal

He also claims that a swap deal between Chelsea and Juve has been agreed for Matic and Sandro...claims he has a source inside Chelsea...a Columbian freelance journalist with a source...what's that El Ketchup?

Not really. He also claimed we bid for Tolisso a while ago, and other things which haven't come true.

Not saying 'El Ketchup' is a reputable source, but I get the impression we agreed a deal with Lyon for Tolisso. He simply chose Bayern.

Well I hope he's got this one wrong too...can't see Conte being happy with a converter winger that can't play with his back to goal...

Unless he is being bought as an upgrade to Pedro

That's the €65m question...and if he doesn't he'll be 30 next year with no resale value...

I can dream can't I

I bet we get this secured before Bakayoko completes his Medical

Let`s be real here. What other options we do have? I don`t see us paying 100m. for Belotti. Morata doesn`t want to leave Madrid and i do think he doesn`t have what is need to be world regular top striker. He simply reconciled with the situation he is on.

I don`t think that is a world class character.
People were saying a lot of things for Lukaku, but he never wanted to be a subs, while Morata is accepting that.

To me that is not the guy who can reach and improve to the very best.

Lukaku was a very hard blow.

As for the twitter guy, people says he get Rudiger deal right. I also see he put a lot of true stories, that happens at the end.

I agree with a lot of your pragmatic view of things but I would like to test Tourino with a decent offer say £70m...

Ah, you spark a bit of hope

I wanted Lukaku the most. But he is gone and to be fair my first choice will also be Belotti. The problem is i don`t see our board make this transfer possible. Don`t think they want to spend so much on 1 player, who is kinda very risky move with just 1 good season.
Auba atleast is more proven and 3 season in a row score 25+ goals.

So i see us paying 65m. euros for Auba, bot can`t see us going higher for Belotti.

Morata is very dumb guy. He will always be Real subs.

And by saying that, i remember Auba was saying he would leave Dortmund only to Real Madrid. Benzema have bad year, Morata not good enough, why Real Madrid is not IN for Auba? That is huge question right there. Same goes for Jurgen Klopp.

And it`s a huge fun some people doesn`t want Lukaku for his workrate, but i think Auba workrate is even worst , what a double standart this is ....

 

 

 

 

I agree with some people here.
If we can't get Morata or Belotti, then Auba it is.
I don't think my body will cope if we purchase Llorente or Benteke on deadline day. 

Michu leading the line will be exactly what other clubs would hope for.  Add Llorente with him and we will witness the club crashing out of the CL at the group stages and missing out on TOP 4 .  Mediocre strikers equates to mediocre results.

Well I never said I want Mitchy as our first choice striker for next season. My point is simple, if we are signing Belotti or Morata, Mitchy should not be included in the deal because he already showed despite his limited time on the field last season that if given a chance, he can score goals for us.
As for Lorente, well I have never been in support of him coming here and I will never be happy with us signing any striker that is older than 30 or 31!

Tbh, at this stage with no news on Belotti and Morata move dying, I'd take PEA. Who else is there?

Harry Kane
