OK, Lukaku as all but gone! Gutted as we will miss his goals but not his "I'm this and that". I believe with Koeman we will get two better strikers for our club and maybe his goals will be spread throughout the team as our new striker might work his socks off and actually pass to better placed players.
Barkley, I also believe he has all but gone and his agent has secured a deal with a London club or Man utd. Barkley wants champions league but needs to start performing in the big premier league games first. Again if he goes and sigurdsson joins then it's an upgrade, he maybe older but in three years who knows what youth players will come through. All-in-all, if they go it's their loss!

Im not worried at all. To be honest hopefully they will both go at the end of the season. i'm fed up of the circus its turned into.

Besides if rom goes we could potentially sign 2 good strikers to replace him. i'd love lacazette but that's unrealistic.
Barkley goes then he can easily be replaced. i'd love sigurdson and tielmans.
Lose 2 gain 4. Squad be stronger and deeper for it. Like people have already mentioned. Instead of us throwing all our eggs into 1 basket (lukaka) maybe the goals can be spread out a little.

I agree anomblue, we are in better shape now than we was last year plus if lukaku got/ gets injured then we are stuffed. 3 more points please and give Koeman what he wants!

Agree as well. I would love siggurdson and the 10 or so goals he brings plus the assists. Then hopefully we get a 15 - 20 goal a season striker and we have more goals than lukaku and barkley and some money left.

Worth far more than £60 Mill and especially in instalments. Every Club is a selling Club if the price is right but we are now creeping towards the ranks of not necessary so.

The thing with Barkley for me is that in all his games for us, he has around 25-30 goals for us. He plays behind the striker and should be hitting around 10-15 goals per season imo.

When he gets the ball he turns and instantly looks lost as with what to do with the ball, apart from try to run through defender to get in the box. If the link with spuds is true then I can only think they want to strengthen there U23 team, as I see no place for Barkley in front of Alli and definitely not in front of Erikson.

He should stay put before he becomes another Franny Jeffers. If he goes then we will replace him and I'd hope to see Dowell push on through fir next season. Former he is more talented than Barkley anyway.

dentielad, didn't Barkley score 12 goals last season? In a poor season.

Maybe, just think he needs to improve his all round game.
