Still going. Paper talk. When do Everton do their business in the papers?

If he really wants to go then he should, no player is worth keeping if they do not want to be here. I would wait and see though, until it is done chill dudes..Put some Bob Marley on and enjoy.
 
I said that with regards to people going a bit OTT with "sign him Boberto, he plays for Belgium, they're top 5".
I think it kicked off when Rom said he wanted to play with his Brother and went from there. If he'd said he wanted to learn how to play the Wobble board, we'd be busting Rolf Harris out of Prison for him!

They are if their valuation isn't met. Otherwise any player could throw a strop and be sold for a quarter of their value.

I'm still very confident Lukaku will be in an Everton shirt next season, and that isn't naivety. I said exactly the same thing about Stones - we won't sell unless the bid is stupid, because it makes no sense to sell an asset like this otherwise; and that's doubly true with our new investment.

People need to stop panicking about the rags and think logically about it as a business.

European heavyweights Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain are interested in signing Everton striker Romelu Lukaku, according to his agent.

Mino Raiola has also talked up the possibility of the 22-year-old forward leaving Goodison for Juventus this summer.

Lukaku appears to be edging towards the exit door after reaffirming his desire to play in the Champions League next season.

And the Belgian’s agent Raiola is talking up potential moves to some of the continent’s big-hitters.

“Lukaku? Of course, Juventus as a solution could go well,” Raiola is reported to have told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“But keep an eye on PSG and Real Madrid too for the Everton striker.

“Does it also depend on Higuain’s future? The environment has changed in Paris. I don’t know if they’re ready to spend €90m – the price of oil has fallen and the emir is keeping more in his pocket.

“Also for this reason he’s insisting on keeping Ibra (Ibrahimovic).”

So Apparently we're looking at getting 90 million euros??? I would seriously be tempted by that figure.
 

Turns out his agent was in Turin to discuss a new contract for Paul Pogba, not a transfer for Lukaku.

Still though. Agent is a nonce.
 
There is far too much talk from Lukaku , his father and his agent about his ambition and his desire to play CL etc.
If the agent wants the player to move and if clubs such as PSG and Real are genuinely interested and make big bids then Everton will have to listen and weigh up the option of having a big transfer pot against keeping an unhappy player.
But, it doesn't have to be in the newspapers every day. If there is a genuine interest from clubs of that stature then the end of the season will be time to talk. I think the actions of the"Lukaku camp" are appalling.
I think the agent is trying to create a demand. I think the clubs are interested but maybe not at the price that Everton will demand and cannot be forced to sell for less. Is Lukaku an 80m player, I honestly don't think so ...yet.

I just don't think that Lukaku is good enough yet to lead the line for Real or maybe even PSG every week. There are too many weeks when he looks an average player and neither Real or PSG will build a team around him as Everton have done.
He is a good finisher, but not a great one, he misses a lot of chances that a striker costing that much money should take.
He leads the line well sometimes, but other times looks disinterested and is more interested in scoring than creating chances for others.

He will improve further, he is not quite 23 yet , but is still very much a work in progress.
Will he ever be as good as Drogba was at his peak ? , that is the target and he can reach that level...probably, but is still a long way off.
