Well there we have a classic example of our transfer policy.  We were offered Lukaku from Chelsea, just a few of years ago for £18 million, which we baulked at.  We force Chelsea to put him on the open market, allowing Everton to come through and pick him up.  Now he is off to United for £75 million, how many of you thought Lakaku would never make the grade? not many I bet and if we could see it so easily, why couldn't the experts. No doubting he would still be on his way to United, but at least we would have had him for a couple of years and be over £50 million richer.

The problem is though Salop and I just want to add I agree with you BUT do you think Lukaku would still be valued at £75m if we had purchased him. I think not because of the way we attack under Pulis, he wouldn't have scored half as many goals as he did at Everton.

Yes he may have been worth more than £18m but not much and don't forget when we had him, we had Billy Jones and Mulumbu bursting into the box to create for him, sadly now we don't.
