Problem with the Caf is that posters just don't sit for a bit and think. As soon as they hear something exiting they all jump in that new hype and get lost in all those noises. This thread is just another indictment of this place.
The general consensus and something well known during these boards and frankly anyone should know this, is that we have a glaring weaknesses in our squad which is our midfield. From our CMs not being that great especially if you take out Pogba(who's been out for a while and whom some consider won't be here next year) to our AM options being downright mediocre, the main focus should obviously be on that area.
This entire season we've been crying out for creativity and lamenting our lack of options yet come into this thread and people want us to first throw money at a Lukaku type of striker just because he's the current flavour of the month.
So what happened when he's bought and doesn't get the service he's getting in his 3rd rate league? He won't be scoring as many goals because of lack of services, and the same people crying out for his signing will be the ones up his throat. Heck the last few games we've actually managed to offset our lack of midfield creative issues because we happened to have a striker with ability to help and add onto our creativity and even that still isn't enough because we still need a creative AM urgently.
But nope, let just buy another Lukaku type player who would rely on the team creating for him to score despite the team itself lacking that component on the field. No, let's not prioritise an AM with creativity so we can buy a striker who need services to score.
It's astounding how this place can get sometimes and how shortsighted and oblivious to certain obvious things some lots are.
