Why are people so concerned about who is going to score the 24 goals Lukaku got last season, it's about can we score more goals than we did last season and I think yes even as it stands With current squad.

16/ 17 season prem league scorers

Lukaku 24
Barkley 5
Mirallas 4
Coleman 4
Own goals 4
Jagielka 3
Velencia 3
Baines 2
Barry 2
Davies 2
Schneiderlin 1
Williams 1
Bolasie 1
McCarthy 1
Gana 1
Calvert lewin 1
Lookman 1
Pennington 1

When you look at that you then start to see why replacing the 24 goals Lukaku scored is not the issue it's about more goals from others, I'm convinced there are 3 or 4 players that will get double figures, even if ten of those players get 1 more than last year that's 10 goals without even putting Rooney, Sandro and Klassen in the mix.

I’m not sure about 3 or 4 getting double figures. But looking at those figures there isn’t much required to improve on them. The most important thing is we played to Lukaku’s strengths last season so will be playing to different strengths this season. That will of course be in a way that brings more players into positions to score therefore allowing everyone to improve their goal tally.

If/ when we get Sigurdsson that will also add a good amount of goals too. I wouldn’t be surprised if he took over penalty responsibility too. Although there’s no reason I can see to take it from Baines.

I’m not worried where the goals will come from. There’s clearly enough quality there to create and convert chances. Plus we’re not done in the transfer window yet.

How about a cheeky punt for Owen Golas got to be better than some of the players we've been associated with.

Let's not get too hung up on replacing Lukakus goals, winning games is more important and that involves improvement in all areas.

It's not about replacing his goals but we are desperate for a 9 in terms of the way we play. Against Sevilla the. All kept being turned over because nobody was capable of holding it up and bringing others in. Lukaku was not great at this either but had pace to stretch teams to make space between oppositions defenses and midfields. So we either need a target man or a Vardy type.
