Romelu Lukaku

He's already better than Kluivert ever was :barcascarf:

Well, I'm sure about that...

But when I see Munir struggling to play game so unnatural to him and Sandro embaressing himself all I can think is how far they are from this:

In fairness and I'm in no way saying he could play for Barca but I do wonder how deadly he would be with Messi supplying him the passes. Just having Deulofeu playing has already helped him to dramatically improve his form. 6 goals and 4 assists in 11 games so far this year against all the teams in the top 8 last year in the premier league. He's still only 22.

His first touch is often too heavy and he can be quite lazy.

Good striker who suits the end to end nature and open spaces of the PL but will never become world class in my opinion.
 
I know you guys do not agree with me on Lukaku in Barca and I can understand your reasons tottaly.

But I have that... hmm, feeling that with all these delicate technitians around him sending precise crossess/assissts-he would lade opponents nets to the full and beyond.

Besides, when I see feather-light Ney falling after even soft duels, Iniesta weak body built that can't withstand colisions without getting injured, Alba lookin' like 50 kg with bed included, Busq skinny and fragile, even Messi won't be gettin' stronger and more resistant-years and injurys pile up... and opponents know we are going to predictable circle around the box like dog around thanksgiving table of feast, that our attack won't be rectilineal, that they just have to ticken their lines in the box and wait 'till guy in black whistles...

I honestly believe we need tough CF to go in a shortest straight line right to the net, even if he has to buldoze and tank through opponents defence,even if he has to take in CBs and GK in the goal with the ball... player that will be able to outjump most of others CBs (I mean, it's sickening watching all those nice high crossess from both wings sent to-sorry,to whom? Ho can realy jump out there?)... besides, player like that, even if succeed in nothing during the match-at least will wear down and weaken opponents CBs to the point they won't be able to run or react properly if fast player charges near by...

Also, he shoots like howitzer!

Mandžukić scored 20 times last season in Primera, Lewandowski is loading the nets, Aduriz destroyed us in supercoppa... many teams have heavy CFs and make good use of them.
