Homepage Article Lukaku: “I owe Everton so much”

[phil_t98]

sounds like he now seeing what's happening at Everton and wants in on it. not saying we should but that's how it looks from him

Odd thread this is

But would he be happy on the bench, watching Haaland and Sancho tear the league up.

 

[Cameron Manning]

Absolutely. If he was one-on-one with the keeper, I expected him to score pretty much every time and I was shocked if he didn’t.

It’s easy for people to mention his touch and love of goals against the lesser clubs rather than the best, yet an almost one-in-two goal rate speaks for itself.

I think he had three one on ones in the semi final at Wembley and a penalty, he didn’t score from any of them, in fact quite a lot of his goals were against the poorer teams, he could have stayed but went because he wanted to, the grass was greener at Old Trafford, so he thought, a good portion of United fans turned against him at the end of his time there.

Reminds me of big Nev, except I always expected him to save it.

 

[ToffeeBlues]

By far one of my most favourite players since I've been watching us

 

[BigBlueConk]

He was worth 15-ish points a season to us.
And we didn't half miss his goals when he left.

Keeping his options open when he is 35 and in need of a club.

I’d have him back now while his legs are still fresh. Would swerve him as an older player.

Wages may be a problem now never mind the fee .... he went Ross went have we really replaced those style of players?

Reminds me of Pickford, except I always expect him to drop it.

Agreed. A lot of miles on those legs already. Hasn’t he been paying first team games since he was like 16? Imagine the drop off will be quick for Rom.

Looks like he got a good taste of the United fans and realised we weren’t that bad. Cause he had a few digs at us when he was here and when he left.

Don't get me wrong, he was poor against United in the final and his poor performance probably cost us from preceding to the final. However...

The whole 'most his goals were against poorer teams' is one I find bemusing. How many players score more goals against the top teams rather than lesser teams?

From recollection, there isn't a team in the historic top six that didn't score against while playing for us. Could he have scored more? Yes, but that's something else.

He is our best goal scorer in a generation, with a record of 0.46 goals per game, and easily kept us going. A better record than that wouldn't be possible for £28m!

He said that by game 2 of United he wanted out. Madness
