Lukaku - A Fond Farewell

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Cascarinos opinion has never been worth a jot,even amongst fellow pundits and proper journos. Bad witness for your case/agenda.

He's spot on this time though - we didn't have to sell him, he still had 2 years left on his contract. Yet somehow we managed to bend over and get dry-bummed by Utd again. The whole thing just reeks of another Bill Kenwright screw-up.

to be honest i'm glad to see the back of him. yesterday was a xlassic Lukaku performance, he did literally nothing all game, save for when we took off our defenders to chase the game he capitalised on the space to grab a poxy third goal. Rooney was much more influential yesterday than Rom would have been if he's been playing for us.

If Rom were playing for us yesterday, we'd have reversed the scoreline.

how many times has Rom scored for us against United?

Rom has never played for us while we've had a solid number 10 either, let alone two or three of them.

which one's the solid one

Jury's still out on that.

It'd be Siggy if we played him as such!

 

[Ihaters]

If everyone has the right to respect why do we sing songs such as - 'Kopites Are Gobshi*tes' , 'Manchester Is Full Of Sh*t

I think it's mainly because Kopite's are Gobs***es and Manchester is actually full of s**t.
I don't sing it either in my defence, but they sing enough about us to be fair game imo.

Lukaku has to measured by a different yardstick to the overwhelming majority of other players.
Firstly, he is after costing almost 100m and has been signed to win trophies for Man Utd.

Golden boot or any other individual accolades count for very little at the club he is currently at.

His job is to win the Premiership for Utd and if the do not do so and he scores thirty league goals then the season has not been a success.

Come next May, I think Utd will not be champions, I think there will be patches where Lukaku does well and at times not so well.
He scored yesterday in a game that was already won and has done that quite a bit at Everton as well.

Time will tell.

It was already won because of him though. It was a very clever piece of play to set up that second, killer goal. Amazing how much more rounded he looks playing with other decent players.

Arsed about this guy, move on lads, even when he played for us he was never one of us, great player yes but Evertonian, never was, just makes me appreciate even more those who represent us such as Tim Cahill and actually care about us

 

[Nymzee]

Whether we could have got £75m, £95m or £195m for Lukaku it still wouldn't make is any better right now on the pitch so irrelevant really what we sold him for.

Yeah but we could of got a few more number 10s!

No it isn't !

The Everton fans were booing him before the goal, he reacted to them when he scored. Nothing to see here, move along......

That's fine, but I'm not interested in Lukaku's reasoning. F him. I'm not prepared to criticise fellow match going blues and I never ever will, they pay their money they can do and say what they like.
