I don't think we would have gone for him personally

Do you think if Moyes was still manager then Lukaku would still have signed or do you think he only signed because of Bobby?

No, I think he joined us (on loan initially) because he was probably promised he'd play and we would make the team work for him (which we did, hence permanent). Comparing that to "run the channels and fight for your place" is an interesting thought experiment, I don't know which one he'd pick...

...out on loan the same day so he's in the lower leagues, Deulofeu at the time was 19 so he won't play (and Moyes wouldn't go for him anyway), Lukaku definitely doesn't join as we suit nothing about how he plays with Moyes as he can't get a tune out of forwards like him, Barry maybe joins but...

Do you think Lukaku joined us because of an ex Wigan manager?

Moyes would have ruined him. He wouldn't "work hard enough" for the Moyesiah.

Yeah it was solely down to Lukaku, not the fact we actually attacked a lot more and looked like we have an idea other than "cross it in the box". Alternatively, Lukaku doesn't join us and even if he does isn't as good for Moyes, and you know it - he was there to score goals, not run the...

Lukaku used to love playing against these, didn't run enough for some fans though 🫠

...even sure if Barry would lead the line so I'm going with Charly up top and George in from the off. Feel like he comes alive more in away fixtures but let's see tomorrow. Remember when West Ham were 3pts bankers in the days of Lukaku. Less no nowadays. Sigh. Really need 3 big points here. UTFT

Pretty much sure, they wouldn‘t. But also that we wouldn‘t have the downfall in 14/15. Lukaku was a good scorer at West Brom before joining us tho.

I’m not disagreeing with any of that. But 2 things can be true at the same time: - Moyes did leave a well drilled side which was very strong defensively, and Martinez eventually neglected that; - Martinez placed a lot of faith in Stones and Barkley, and gave them more minutes than Moyes would have

Martinez benifited from a well drilled defensive side which Moyes had developed, Lukaku and Barry were added and we got going, it didnt take a long time of Bob ignoring defence for things to go bad, which got him punted.

This is where the rest of the recruitment team need to earn their corn

We just need someone consistent in finishing. Sadly there’s not as many strikers out there as there was, and those that are, will be pricey.

As fans we need a hero up front for us like a Sharp Lineker Gray Lukaku Richarlison even a Ferguson to some extent. Not a Maupay Rondon Tosun Barry Delap etc. Come on Everton and Moyes aim higher, unfortunately I cant see it. Moyes will be in for Delap

exactly

Oh Tim, when i replied to your post earlier I hadnt realised that you were so far brainwashed. Do you really think Moyes didnt sign these players? The club told you. Several people at the club told you. The media told you. Fans told you. But YOU dont believe any of them. Good for you. Ffs
