Are you kidding? Icardi is a douchebag, granted, but a much much better striker than Lukaku.

Lukaku is a braindead brute that only relay on physicality, on top of that he has a terrible first touch (not that we need more of those in our team)

at least Icardi plays with some sort of intelligence in the box and is technically decent.
Both have their pros and cons but I dont want any of them in here. I hope we are doing this to get money and not to use Lukaku...
Does PSG want Lukaku by any chance?

icardi is a better player obviously, but as i've already elaborated several times, he's a ticking bomb. don't be fooled, he's ready to pull the same shit on any club that he did at inda.

icardi is a better and cheaper player, but a proven douchebag who stirred shit everywhere so far. lukaku is an overpriced oaf, but probably a decent, professional guy. no way i'd take either of them. both are shit buys overall, that's why i wrote that in my book icardi isn't any better.

to sell both kean and dybala and get either of these is a criminal offense.

Noted. From that angle I agree.

If the following happens, though:

Kean (good, but still unproven), Higuain (reaching the end of his career) and Dybala (don't even get me started...) OUT

Lukaku, Eriksen IN

Wouldn't our team be better for it?

Woj, Cancelo, De Ligt, Chiellini, A. Sandro, Rabiot, Pjanic, Eriksen, D. Costa, Lukaku, Ronaldo seems like one hell of a team to me.

Perhaps a bit soft that mid, but we could throw Can or Bentancur in there in games in which more grinta is required

Selling Kean, Dybala, Higuain could all make sense, and buying Eriksen would be great, just dont waste the rest of the money on Lukaku.
We could get Eriksen, Chiesa and Neves instead for example. Switch to a 4-3-1-2:

Ramsey-Pjanic-Rabiot
Eriksen
Ronaldo-Costa

Bentancur-Neves-Can
Bernadeshi
Mandzu-Chiesa

Just dont waste 85m buying that donkey.

Where's all this Ericksen talk coming from?

Has there even been any links as all I remember someone om Tuz mentioned he was on the last year of his contract and now people think he is coming here.

Lukkake is basically Falcon 1 rocket without the ability to control its flight. Mucho horsepower, not so mucho control but fun as fuck to fire off

let's not change the whole squad.

:shifty:
I understand you like Cancelo but he would fetch 50-60M while D.Alves will cost nothing + is far better if you admit it or not..
Personality wise I too rather take Cancelo over D.Alves but skill wise its a no contest...
So how much %?

    Thing is we'd need to find a top RB again next year.

    Yap but we have some money for fair play and we can use other freebies or just sign a new RB - I just cannot relax when I see Cancelo - I really like his ball control and if he can be taught how to defend, position himself correctly and get a boost in concentration it would be stupid to sell him but the thing is I think he is kind of hopeless in this regard..
