Potential to be one of Europe's best strikers. But thinks he's there already. Lining up for a major disappointment.

Wouldn't loose much sleep if he went. But would be very excited to see him progress with us.
 
don’t get why every time he has a bad game people start talking about selling him and saying he doesn’t want to be here

he hasn’t said anything bad about everton or about wanting to leave. all because he got a new agent? pfft

He was awful today but i am surprised at some of the posts wanting rid of him.
He will end up being one of the best strikers in europe,we need to enjoy him while we can
 
Just doesn't do enough for his physical attributes for me,he's decent but for £28 million we are entitled to a lot more than what we are seeing,poor first touch which hasn't improved,poor link up play,gets caught offside an awful lot and isn't a great finisher,a couple of decent balls into the box today and you would have expected him to have been on the end of them but he was nowhere to be seen,sorry for being hard on the lad but if we can recoup what we paid I'd take it and start again.
 
Mentioned it on another thread, but I wish he would learn to use both feet, so many times he tries to get it onto his left foot and by the time he does the chance has gone. Still say though, get a playmaker for next season and he'll score a bag full.
 
With the lack of creation in midfield he and Ross Barkley will struggle, our play maker Osman can not play for 20 -30 mins at full pelt! So we have two holding mid fielders when one is only necessary in Barry, and McCarthy - the midfield is lacking in pace, and creation so Lukarku is feeding on scraps his first touch needs to improve , but he needs a killer pass to run onto to perform - with our midfield he seldom gets it imo!
We need someone in there to link with RB to drive us on quicker as it is so methodical with tippy tappy passes all over instead of forwards direct interlinking quick passing!
 
Getting a bit tired of hearing how he has the potential now. You can count on one hand how many good games he's had this season.
He just doesn't move. MOVE!!! So slow at what he does. After he has found a team mate, he'll stop and just watch the play unfolding as if he's done his part. No anticipation off the ball whatsoever. Will NOT move and create space for himself and will not move to drag defenders with him. Very frustrating to watch and very ordinary all season. If we are to be honest, he has been this way for the last 12 months...... including the end of last season and the world cup.

Did I mention his movement? Or total lack there of. It's of no surprise that he's continually caught offside, through his lack of movement and anticipation. It's got nothing to do with players not releasing the ball earlier; it's because he stands still and gets caught as the defence push up. He's easy to play against right now. His legs look heavy and he takes an age to decide what he wants to do.

'But he's young mate, so young, potential mate ' blah blah. How long are we going to keep saying this ? He's been first choice now for almost 2 seasons. I'm no pro but I would think that's plenty of games to learn a thing or three, regardless of age.

Goodness me. *sigh* tired of seeing that dumb look on his face. He's got a lot of work to do in the pre season if you ask me. He isn't the only one though.

2 more games lads. Just 2 more....
 
He was laughably poor today. Both Wes Brown and Coates easily muscled him off the ball and he had no answer.
He has an inflated opinion of his own ability and he is not willing to work hard to turn things around.
Still rate him as a prospect, but so disappointed in his attitude and lack of improvement.
Certainly not a £28 million player (yet)

As I post above, any centre forward would get sick to death of our slow build up poor crosses, but I agree he sulks a bit and there's parts of his game he has to strengthen - we were very unlucky today, but apart from the woodwork hit we looked lethargic all day!
We need a fast play maker to link up with RB, and just JM doing the moping up if Barry plays poor we struggle!
