With the summer arrival of Cavani to Chelsea, and their need to sell to raise funds to comply with the new UEFA rules. Would they be willing to let Lukaku go for the right price? If so are we interested? Even if he's had a good season across Stanley Park.

{Ed002's Note - Lukaku could be available at the right price due to circumstances - I would not think a move to Liverpool is on the cards right now.}

Would bloody love lukaku, would give us an alternative option and turns a top 4 team into a team that are challenging

He can't play in Rodgers syste

I love lukaku! I would kill to see him in our side! Very very very good player! Hope this could happen

I think Lukaku could fit in if Suarez were to leave. Let Raheem and Daniel run off of Big L up top, would be mighty scary. And I'm not suggesting we start playing long balls all the time, he seems to have decent feet and of course holds the ball up very well.

I do wonder why Chelsea do not believe he is ready for their team yet? Maybe I just never catch him playing on a bad day, ha.

{Ed002's Note - He is on loan for experience but circumstances are such that he may no longer have a future at Chelsea. Liverpool has shown no interest at all.}

We were eying up benteke so I could see us being interested in lukaku. Proven and the goals he scored against us show BR first hand what he can do plus Martinez doesn't play long ball so I say if we r not looking we should!

U reddddsssss

Eds what positions will we be looking at in the summer then. I guess the calibre of player does depend on where we finish but nailed on areas to strengthen are LB, LW, and a DM?, any other positions? I think we need a reserve keeper and have said before Al habsi would be a great addition, also guess RB still gets mentioned as a weakness

In addition to, that do you see Borini or assiadi been given a chance or shipped out as both cover that LW plus we have suso and llori to come back

{Ed002's Note - I expect Liverpool to still maintain their interest in Hughes, a more central player, as well. Borini and Assaidi will return in the summer but I would not be surprised to see both move on. Suso will also return but he will be looking for a commitment that the club may not be able to give.}

Do you rate Hughes? Is he seen as Gerrard's replacement also where would you see Suso playing, like for like I would think he and courtinho would share game time. Do you agree and do you think he would be happy with this?

{Ed002's Note - The issue with Hughes has been the money Derby want for him. Liverpool are still interested and I think a deal can be done - perhaps loaning him out for a year.}

Do you think Sunderland will look to make Borini move permanent ed or expect him to return to Italy? Shame really I thought he would do really well at Liverpool next season

{Ed002's Note - I don't think Borini would want to move to Sunderland - would you? His plan is to return to Liverpool - perhaps Italy beckons.}

I can't wait to see an all out attack that would consist of Suso, Coutinho, Teixeira, Sterling, Suarez, Sturridge. The future is bright

Willian, Salah and Konoplyanka were meant to be bought as Raheem Sterling's competition as Liverpool's winger. This suggests we will still be trying to buy one come the summer.
Apart from that our attack and midfield has quality in the starting line up and youth ready to prove themselves when given the chance.
