I know, but the debate was not about who was the best value for money it was about who is the better player. Lukaku is the better player as his numbers prove. Edited 19 January 2022 by howie
foxes_rule1978 Posted 19 January 2022 Posted 19 January 2022 8 minutes ago, howie said: 118 goals in the premier league. Doubtful that Iheanacho will ever reach those figures. £100m experienced striker, overrated and overvalued. Nacho was 25m and better value

Lukaku is the better player as his numbers prove. It’s not comparable, they are 2 different players playing different roles. Iheanacho’s nearly 5 years younger. Why is it even being compared?

He’s not Henry/shearer/aguero level but he’s a very very good striker with a very good record. Edited 19 January 2022 by RumbleFox 1

TJB-fox Posted 19 January 2022 Posted 19 January 2022 1 hour ago, Nod.E said: Is any poacher worth £100m though? I want more from a striker than someone to pick up scraps and convert crosses from in and around the 6 yard box. He’s hardly a poacher. How many times over the years have we seen him pick the ball up deep, drive at the defender and score? You got to be on the windup mate, Lukaku is a top striker.

You did say he wasn’t worth 100m from the start and haven’t slated him as much as I thought you had. I was wrong.

I felt he isn’t worth 100m and is overrated, basically not that good in terms of the price. Now would I be happy if he was a leicester player on a decent wage ,100%. There are better around that can be bought for less Edited 19 January 2022 by foxes_rule1978 1
CosbehFox Posted 19 January 2022 Posted 19 January 2022 Matt will be happy Premier League set to change the rule of player availability after this weekend. Bit too late now really considering the next game for most teams will be Feb 12th 1
Matt Posted 19 January 2022 Posted 19 January 2022 (edited) Been a long time coming but since when has common sense followed when it comes to suits and pen pushers. Perhaps damaging the 'brand' has done something to create a shift. Let's see how stringent they are first I guess. Edited 19 January 2022 by Matt

Lambert09 Posted 19 January 2022 Posted 19 January 2022 1 hour ago, Facecloth said: Perfect. I really feel no clubs can be criticized when it is the rules that have allowed it. (Except for Liverpool, faking test results is utterly shameful) Should our game have gone ahead? Absolutely, but I understand the situation fully and it would have been near negligent if we hadnt requested it.

I would be looking into all those penos the big teams get over a yellow card but hey ho might be the start of something.
Brainy Posted 19 January 2022 Posted 19 January 2022 Never understood why betting on yellow cards/number of corners/shots on target became a thing. Well. I do, but I think it's ridiculous 1

But in their absolute prime they’d be going for a hell of a lot more in todays market. Shearer went for £15m….. Lukaku wouldn’t have gone for that much back then.
