I think Slick's nailed the essential differences between the two players.
Also, Lukaku's 17 goals for us were all in the league I think, whereas Saido's 17 so far includes 11 in the league (so still time to overhaul Lukaku's figure). Plus Lukaku scored that hat-trick against Manchester United in THAT game (and missed a chance at the end to make it 6-5!). For me, £28m was too much for Lukaku.
I think on balance I'd rather have Saido (his shooting is exceptional) but imagine having both of them.
