Hopefully we'll have each others back's again when a riot breaks out when Lukaku is sold to PSG for 42 million.

Now, happy to be corrected, but I think he's scored 30 goals in 77 appearances for us, or 47 in 122 in the PL (I wiki'd it) so, is that a fair conversion rate to start touting him around Europe like a 2 bit hooker, or should he bang a few more in to justify Evertons asking price?

What is the point in having him here if we do not play to his strengths?

He looks p1ssed off with the service he gets, either lumped up to his head from 50 yards with his back to a 6 foot 3 CB or pinged at his feet from 30 yards which invariably bounces back to the player who passed it.

Waste

Not a chance Bobby said that, agents are just absolute scum aren't they. Ruining the game

Ever since agents got involved, all those kids who just wanted to play football for a bag of sweets have been corrupted and the owners of the clubs who just loved watching have football have been turned into money men. Sickening.

Should go back to the wage cap.

The genie is out of that particular bottle and there are too many palms being greased to ever get it back in.

LET'S ALL SIT DOWN AND TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH OF A BELL END LUKAKU'S AGENT IS.

He's done it with Pogba as well. It's simply to draw the sharks out.

The guy wants paying. Any club that takes one of his clients should demand they sack this agent.

Thank god, agent is doing us a big favour here. The French league will be far more forgiving for pogo-shins.

Wage caps can be got around in no time at all by creative accountancy, nefarious payments to wives, private school fees, etc etc etc.

Its interesting to me that Lukaku has Instagram and Twitter accounts, he has the club social media accoubnt also where he could put out a statement saying he doesnt want to move on and his agent is not talking on his behalf, much like last time his agent talked out and said

'If I were Lukaku's agent when he left Chelsea it wouldn't of been for a club like Everton'

Lukaku isnt blameless here, just like last time, he needs to pay more respect to our fans, by either coming out with a PR release or by scoring in more games and earing a move to a Club that plays in the CL.

Apart from the fact that some of his general play needs a bit of tidying up, I think for what ever reason we do not play to his strengths properly. What chances do we create during a game for him, too many times he has his back to their goal looking for the ball, now is this the tactics the team are under orders from or what.

Either way I do believe we could use him better.

Yep, imagine if we used 2 wingers and actually delivered crosses for him to meet?!

Imagine also using Baines and Coleman to also cross - he'd be on 15 goals by now.

Instead, we play it to him knowing he is alone and swamped by 2 massive defenders.

Seamus Colemole · October 30, 2015

I reckon if we gave him the ball 3 yards from goal 72 times a game he'd score more goals.

Use him properly and offer him a improved deal.

One condition is he f**ks of that idiotic loud mouth agent of his.

On what grounds does he deserve an improved contract? I like the guy but he's already our highest paid player and hasn't done enough since signing to deserve a pay rise.
