Lukaku

[mawders]

stop doom-mongering. We have a shot, and more importantly, if we do it, we might just snag the big man. I'd LOVE it...last game of the season and it's between us and the RS...we get the spot, we get Lukaku and RS lose Suarez because he wants to play in the CL

 

[roydo]

His logic is probably that there are more teams competing for 4th place this season.

Yeah, and we are one of them. The whole top 6 is wide open this year, and the only side I have seen play well pretty much every time I have seen them is Arsenal. Even then, all the sides up there look vulnerable to one factor or another, including us.

This is no exaggeration; I would fill about 7 Olympic Sized swimming pools worth of my own Jizz if it happened.

But alas...

*breaks down into tears

This, this and this again.

Honestly cant see that logic at all. IMO we are improved from last year. Lets get Christmas/New year games done, then take a look.

Competition for fourth has heightened. Arsenal looking good; City and Chelsea have so much quality; Rooney and RVP will mean Uited are up there; RS better than last year; Spurs will eventually come good and Southampton are playing really good football.

I agree with others in that we have a shot, albeit an outside chance but just don't think we'll quite get there.

Dont disagree mate, but you can just as easily surmise that Spurs sack AVB next week, bring in god knows who. Suarez goes in January/gets snapped. RVP gets injured/ruined by Moyes, Southampton slip down the league, and Arsenals striker pulls up lame.

Then again, you could say exactly the same about us. That was the point I was making. I just do not think there is a really standout side this year, and everyone looks vulnerable to something or other. So why not we get it?

Just read that back, and we actually agree totally dont we!

Come on then Romelad, bag us a hat trick tomorrow and earn that stay.

We'd need to be damn lucky to finish fourth, but stranger things have certainly happened.

Yeah, the odds are against us, but they were in '05, weren't they?

Exactly mate. My Mum is from Barrow btw.

You could also say that it's wide open; 3 points separating 2nd to 6th after a third of the season gone.

If we hit some consistency, we'd have a real chance.

Southampton are this years West Brom, they have no chance of getting 4th. A good team with a very strong work ethic but not enough quality to get enough points.

 

[deipnosophist]

We're 3 points behind 2nd with a third of the season gone.

It's really not insurmountable; all we need is a bit of consistency. But then again, so do the teams around us.

actually 1/3 of the season is struck 2/3 (ie 60 minutes) into our game vs Stoke.

 

[johnnydawg68]

Pretty clear there's a problem with Lukaku and Jose's relationship.

We can get 4th.

We can keep Lukaku.

Be positive lads. Everton gets under your skin and it's happening to Romelu.

 

[deipnosophist]

This, this and this again.

you are going to fill 7 Olympic sized swimming pools with jizz THREE times??
That sir, is impressive!!

They don't concede many. Which is always something to look at.

We need CL football to have a chance.
