One for Ed004 if you're around.
What are your thoughts on Lukaku?
Also, who else do you think we will sign this window?
Thanks.
{Ed004's Note - I'm happy with Lukaku's signing. He fits the bill for what Jose wants his striker to do. Ibrahimovic posted fantastic stats last season but I felt he restricted our play a lot at times. He was never able to run in behind, he didn't link up well with Martial at all and his finishing was very poor at times. Hopefully, Lukaku will get more out of our other attacking options.
I expect at least one more midfielder to come in and probably another attacker. Hopefully, the interest is still there in Semedo and a deal can be completed for him. Personally, I'd forget about an attacker like Perisic and go for a second central midfielder and wait until next season or January for Griezmann/Dembele}

I can see us waiting for Griezmann too ed, surely he'd of been here if AM's ban wasn't up held and wouldn't be surprised to see no new no. 7 this season coming.
{Ed004's Note - If the ban didn't happen I think he'd have been signed by now}

Do you think Griezman splitting from his agent this summer is any indication of him changing his mind on us (for next year)?
It was fairly widely reported that his agent was pushing for the move as the most lucrative thing for his client, but it recently came out that Griezman and his agent had parted ways as they disagreed on vision about Griezman's future.
I'm slightly concerned this could be an indication that Griezman could be having second thoughts about coming here.
{Ed004's Note - Well if he's changing agent to Raiola surely that's more of a sign that he wants to join us}
