He looks to be a great signing, one thing that comes to my mind though is people talking of this partnership with Barkley. We assume the partnership will continue here but if they keep playing like they did last night it's going to be Chelsea coming for Barkley

If they do then they'll have to pay about £50m after Barkley has a great world cup.
 
Everyone being very careful about what they say in the media and rightly so. His partnership with Barkley has all the signs of being the making of something a bit special. If we can't afford him because he's shown everyone how ace he is then we need as close as we can afford as a replacement. Benteke if he doesn't have a stellar season at Villa maybe? Sod it just gonna enjoy him while we can and worry much, much later.

Exactly this.
Don't speculate about his future- just enjoy that for the 2013-2014 season he is all ours!
And if he rockets us up the table into Europe then we're in a position to find ourselves a decent replacement.
We have Lukaku and Deulofeu on loan, as well as Barry- when the time comes we can have lots of fun speculating who else will come on loan in the future.
 
I'd still be tempted to tell them where to stick their 50 million

I would too but that will be the level he'll be at if he keeps playing as he is. I know there will be a dip at some point but we need to trust RM to spot it early and rest him for a few weeks when it happens.
 
Would love him to sign permanently, pipe dream I know but I reckon there is cash left over from Fellaini and Vic.

I did think he needed bringing off last night, he was shattered with 15 to go, maybe Kone with fresh legs could have done a job

I am actually with Mick here. Agree with all of that.
 
That's all very well and good mate but he'll cost real money. We had to sell our best midfielder just to buy McCarthy. Are we gonna sell our entire team plus Goodison Park to afford 25m Lukaku? As that's what he'd cost.

No chance. Just enjoy him this season, as this is as good as it gets.

May even be worth more. In 2012/13 Falcao scored 28 in La Liga and Cavani scored 29 in Serie A - they both went for £50m and they're in their primes. Lukaku got 18 as a supersub for WBA already, if he continues to get starts for you I think he could well get into the mid to high 20's. Considering his age that's pretty ridiculous.

It's annoying we don't have him but I'm thrilled he's performing so well for you. Not sure how optimistic you're all feeling yet, but I genuinely hope you upset someone for a CL place (just not us!).

could agree more .. i was looking over @ the bench thinking is he going to take the lad off .. i think RM wanted him to get his hattrick .. saying that he did have the ball in the net 4 times last night
 
I was chatting to a westham fan and he was saying that they nearly got luakaku this season for 8 mil, i couldnt really understand what he ment .. chelski wouldnt sign him for 8mil and i dont think the loan fee would be that much would it?
 
I dont like his " phoning Mourinho" celebration.

agreed .. little worried about that as well .. is that what he was signaling .. i posted on here that he stated that he spoke with mourinho prior joining everton and had some sort of agreement. Just wondering what that is all about
 
Im pretty sure the phone celebration is down to Mirrallas, as he points at him once he scores.

Anyway, I think he will have 18 months left on his contract when he returns. IMO, the only we we have a chance of keeping him, is if we get CL football.
