Dier would be too expensive, as would Lukaku and they are both not that great.

Forget those two and go for more viable options, they'll be just as good if not better than them.

If the reported fee is between 45-55m for Dier that ain't expensive in today's market tbh and he's English and a good player. Think we will be using Rooney to get the fee down on Lukaku and won't be a tough deal with Riola involved after last Summer. Plus there's no way he's gonna cost anything like 80-100m what there after. Guarenteed goals! Tbh not many viable options at ST that are of good quality. Same goes for DM, but Fabinho would be my first choice but he's not miles ahead of Dier in terms of quality. Bonus he can play RB.
 
Most blues don't want Rooney back. Everton are in no great rush to sell Lukaku. (Who wants to play with Rooney for what that's worth.). Even less so when Barkley goes. That price isn't dropping.

And Lukaku and his lack of work rate under Mourinho? Sounds a perfect match.
 
Mourinho was the one who got rid of Lukaku so why on earth would he want him now! It makes no sense!

Belotti would benefit us much more to the team. Admittedly we lack goals but he'll bring them too.
 
I wouldn't fancy Lukaku now if I'm honest.
I think we need to move on from the incessant 'spread to the wing and hoof it in' bullshit.

We played much better football without a target man on the pitch.

Couldn't agree more.

He also got rid of Mata. Different team with different circumstances.

Mourinho didn't get rid of Lukaku he asked to leave just like Mata did. Different situation now!

You say Belotti would bring goals before this season in which he has been very good no doubt. He has averged 10 goals or less in previous seasons. Isn't really dynamic or has great link up play either for what it's worth and would cost about same as Lukaku.

Same difference. He saw no opportunity and no future at Chelsea.

Not the same really. It's completely different. He would be our main STR not a bit part player like he would of been at Chelsea. Should never of moved there in the first place. Would love him here. Prem proven plus gives us goals what we need. And one of the few strikers actually available.
 
Times and Guardian reporting now Herrera no interst in Barca move and new contract imminent. Love the little guy :)

I was responding to your line that he didn't get rid of him.

FWIW, aside from Everton making a **** tonne of money, I'd love him at Utd too.

The one slightly annoying thing is that despite being English as he came through the academy at Sporting Lisbon he wouldn't count as home grown since as far as that is concerned he is Portuguese

You know I wouldn't want him. Don't get me wrong, he's a top notch player who the vast majority of the time brings a top work ethic with it. He'd fit in perfectly with how we play.

But he's downed tools on more than one occasion when things haven't been going his way. (You could make a very strong case that he's cost Arsenal a CL place by doing that again a few months back.). That's one too many times for me.

And if he did come North to whomever, after all the reasons he gave for London and joining Arsenal, it would just make him look an even bigger mercenary.

I don't know man if you can put that down to him alone, there has been so many players in that Arsenal team who you could accuse of not turning up in big games. Personally I've already admired his work-rate and qualities as a player, I think it's more down to Arsenal generally than him their shortcomings this season (like every other season)!
