We all know it, Lukaku has escaped our grasp.
While many of us have argued whether he would've been a good fit for Chelsea anyway, it no doubt thrown a massive spanner in the works to our transfer plans.
Morata is the obvious choice, but I've heard mixed things about him and he'd no doubt be risky, although personally I do feel he'd slot in the 3-4-3 position nicely.
Belotti is a player I'm sure you're all aware of by now, don't know much about him but I've liked what I've seen on Youtube. I've also heard that he is Conte's first choice, even ahead of Lukaku, although the way the media is flip-flopping over that, I'm not so sure what to believe.
Maybe it's worth going for Aubameyang? Who knows.
Or what about our pal, Michy? Give him a chance next season?
I'd love to hear your opinions, I know discussions about this topic have already been occurring on similar threads but I thought it'd be best to unite them all into a singular one.
 

Andrea Belotti

Lewandowski -- if we have to pay over 60m for someone, let's try for someone who's worth it. 

It's unlikely but I like a bid to be made publicly, just to show some willing. 

Yeah I'd like to see Lewandowski tbh.

Not sure who we actually can sign. If Man United got outpriced by Morata, then no chance are we signing him. Belotti is probably now the likeliest player.

Andrea Belotti

Seen a few highlights , apparently his release clause for clubs outside Italy £87m ... absolutely insane

Just go all out for Sanchez...in terms of settled players he's the best obtainable option that improves the team. Don't know if Chelsea will go for him but surely City are not the only club in for him at £50m.

Depends on how much we want to spend, I don't think we're willing to offer stupid money, so Llorente is probably the more realistic option. I like Modeste personally, but never see us linked to him.

Oh, f**k it, go on then, I'll do it!  Now all shut up!

A bit worrying as we seem to be reluctant to pay the money required for lukaku. That would rule out morata and belotti as both would cost similar. 

Id go for aubameyang. Dortmund have said he can go for €70m. Not sure what other options we have beyond that. Maybe Icardi? 

There's always Dembele at Celtic...£25-30m should get that over the line...

I'll do the first half so I can get away before the crowds and before the Slug sells out of chicken in a basket

The lack of interest in general for Aubameyang is quite puzzling, I really think he would be as good a signing as Sanchez

Reports say he is set to stay at Dortmund, hence the lack of interest.

He is being linked with a number of different clubs such as PSG, Milan, Liverpool & some Chinese club alongside this Dortmund have also stated they will consider offers north of €60m but none of the elite clubs have shown any significant interest.

I know he has been linked with clubs, but Dortmund's sporting director has stated that he expects him to stay

Deal. As long as they don't sell out fast beer I'm all good.

Considering the market we are in I'm extremely surprised no one has jumped on his availability.

Even if that is the case still doesn't stop clubs showing an interest and for the quality of player he is I am just surprised at the lack of traffic around his transfer

Morata and Keita Balde for me, I would sell Willian and Batshuayi and sign Morata, Keita Balde and Benteke then were set in attack

Morata

Hazard - Keita 

would be such a good front 3.

I prefer Michy to Benteke.

Yeah but Conte doesn't rate Batshuayi, i don't think he has much of a future at Chelsea

Not really seen him play but that's hell of a big leap from leading a line in the SPL. I would rather give Michy the game time we would give another young striker like Dembele.

This 100%
In a league where Scott Sinclair plays like Ronaldo, I'm not entirely confident with Dembele.
