I feel like Bakayoko is our main target (which i'm not happy about) so would love to hear of any other feasible options which i could get my hopes up about? Also pretty keen for Moses.

Don't think any of us are mate but I fully believe in Conte. Rumour has it we're going to go 3-5-2 next year with Bakayoko, Kante and Chalobah in midfield to win the ball back after Lukaku's dreadful first touch.

SFL. Everyone knows lukaku got poor first touch, however i hope conte can improve it.
Do not forget Lukaku is really good in front of goal.
Scoring 26 goals for team like everton, where creativity is not upto CFC level is a great achievement.
I also believe with coach like conte and players like hazard, cesc, pedro etc Lukaku will do better for us if join back.

if his touch will improve with hazard cesc and pedro, how come it hasn't improved with hazard, de bruyne and Nainggolan?

Cat, because he doesn't play with them week in week out. Just like England team mate. If they all play together at club level, there is more of an understanding. You don't just expect to throw together 11 players and expect them to gel straight away. If they played consistently every week together you'd see more of a link up play between them all. Look at Fabregas and Costa.

i know the difference between international and club level, my point is his touch will not improve playing with better players at his age, end of next season he is 25 years old, he has played enough games at international level though, he went to a world cup for 4 weeks plus a 4 week training camp before and still no better touch, we shouldn't pretend he's something he isnt, he's a big powerful target man, he don't have a good touch or great link up, he don't have great mobility or work rate, let's just accept what his strength is, and stop pretending or hoping that he becomes something he clearly is't.
