I wonder could we get someone like Cavani on a loan IF we were to sell
I don’t like Lukaku but we’d need to make up his goals from somewhere

Remember these cnuts playing hardball over Perisic?
We should absolutely rinse them if they want lukaku.

An ageing player with no pace on high wages? No thanks.
How else do you propose we make up the deficit on goals?
Lukaku wouldn't have been high on my list of players to get rid of this summer. I know he had a bad season in terms of goals scored but he's by far our best bet for a goal so we better have a 25 goal a season man lined up to replace him otherwise that mid table finish really will become a reality
With us getting linked to a lot of RW and no strikers, I feel Rashford is going to be the first choice #9. We might buy a young #9 like that Pedro or promote Greenwood as cover.
It's gonna a fight for top 6 if that's our plan, but right now it certainly looks like that
Or maybe we are moving to 4-4-2 with Rash and Felix up top.

He has flaws but he is still our best striker. I am not against sale but only if that means that we will buy first choice striker. If we sell Rom and buy only backup striker then i would rather that he stays. Going in next season with Rashford as first choice striker would be suicide
If he is sold then he must be upgraded. Can't go into the season with Rashford as the main man up front. Would definitely be looking in the direction of Jovic.
This.
We also need to line up a replacement. Timo Werner, Jovic, Sebastian Haller, Dembele and Pedro are some of the options that we can go for.
The fact he is probably our best striker is the major concern.
We need to sell him and buy someone better.
Difference being though, they actually wanted to keep Perisic
Are they half dead? Why would we want Perisic. 70€m should do it. Basically the majority of our money back, he’ll score tonnes of goals for them.
The Italian clubs would pay in coupons if they could. If Inter want Lukaku stump up the money, no shit players in exchange. The only decent player they have is Skriniar and he just signed a new contract.
I'd take 50 million and move on. He's not suited to the style of play that we want to see. A bit like Benteke when Klopp came in
Happy to get rid, but don't want Perisic
He’s £50m because we decided to give him over £200k a week that’s why. If you think we should stand in his way of a move your one of the people who suggest we need to get rid of dead wood. It want us to renew Mata’s Contract.
The Brazilian #9 from Fluminense looks a real talent. Wouldn't mind seeing us take a chance on him.
True - but it's not like we're desperate to sell Rom. He should only go if it's the right offer imo.
Promote Greenwood and if he fails which I doubt, Rashford/Martial through the middle, with Sancho/new signing/James on the wings.
If Inter want him they can swap him for Brozovic, Skriniar or give us money + Lautaro Martinez. Any other player involved deals are a no go
This will probably drag on as Inter want to pay with a bag of crisps and a mug of bovril.
He’s only 17. Too much pressure and risk of burnout. Playing PL is completely different from playing u23 football. It would wreck him before he’s 25. He needs to be phased in.
Rashford couldn’t hit a barn door and
Martial is inconsistent.
It’s a huge risk going into the season without a goal scorer
Haven’t seen him apart from that video. Looks like he’s a good finisher but the pace of the action wasn’t exactly fast.
Inter have been struggling with FFP, so we'll have to accept Perisic to offload Lukaku.
Why are Inter so big on him? They have Icardi and Martinez.
I'd just take the £30M and an IOU.Inter have been struggling with FFP, so we'll have to accept Perisic to offload Lukaku.
Conte wanted him at Chelsea
You have a point but after Lukaku's performances last season then he should be sold. Over weight and poor work rate. If he has a strong pre season and loses a stone or two then I'll be happy if he's here next season.
A fit Lukaku is a different kind of player than last season's.
Watch some his West Brom and Everton performances. You wouldn't recognise him as the same person.
Whether you can still tolerate his touch is another matter, but it sounds like Ole wants a fast, counter-attacking team, which, coincidentally, is the system that best suits Lukaku.

I’d take £30million without Perisic just so we don’t have to suffer another season of this lump
Totally agree with those saying we shouldn't sell unless we upgrade. Few in the PL score goals as regularly as he does and if we don't replace (with better) we will suffer. In today's market I also think he's got to be worth £80 at least.
This. Giving us 30m euro and a Perisic that is 31 in February won't cut it. Rinse them and any other cheap Italian club that's interested.
We should tell them to pay the proper amount over two or three seasons, rather than taking a 30yo who hasn't been all that good the last 18 months.Inter have been struggling with FFP, so we'll have to accept Perisic to offload Lukaku.
I think Ole also wants a hard-working high-pressing team (similar to Liverpool's style), which doesn't suit Lukaku though.
The only players we should be interested from Inter are Skriniar and Brozovic. Too little too late for Perisic.
Something in me tells me there's still a player in there, he just needs better support from wide areas.
We know he's not great at building up play, I just wish he played more on the last man and concentrated on scoring goals.
For Belgium he has De Bruyne/Hazard doing the harder work for him.
Perhaps it is best to cut ties and start again but I feel like at a more suited club he will start banging them in again (will need to drop weight first though)

They can't spend 40-50mil for him and they have FFP issues. I don't think we need Perisic so not happening imo.
I'm guessing Icardi is on his way out then
Well that’s depressing
I'm sure there's a few PL clubs who could easily take Lukaku for 50+ million. Inter's bid of 26 million is laughable.
I think we should keep him if no sensible offer comes in and try to look at his weight and bulk. A leaner Lukaku would be very good for us and easily sell for a top price next season.

Because he is unfit.
