Romelu Lukaku

[kithnou]

He'll be playing CL next season. I believe that has to be his schedule. If the right fee is offered he'll be sold and the summer's transfer money will be there to use. If that is the case let's hope it's at the beginning of the summer window and not way into it, as with Stones last summer.

The longer it drags out, it appears to be the game he and his management are playing. Especially after the ludicrous 99.9999999% comments.

Love to know what the hold up is with him signing the new contract, back in December it was 99.9% done, and the other week we had Raiola saying it was still 99.9% done.

Always that pesky 0.1% in all negotiations, isn't there.

An agent talking to the outside world rather than Everton's internal audience. Just a reminder to potential suitors that they better not dally too long or he could sign an extension.

 

[loooweee]

That goal was grear really showed his class when he scored from the one and only defensive mistake from that strong Tottenham defense

 

[CynicalBlue]

He's the Belgium, Liverpool wished they'd signed.

Clearly we won't have him for long so enjoy it while we can as any replacement is likely to be a downgrade.

If he went would anyone go for Benteke as his replacement? Would suit Koeman's style a lot more I reckon.

Are you saying that Benteke would suit Koeman's style more than Lukaku mate?

I'd rather go all out and keep the world class striker.

I never said swap them I meant as a replacement. Our proclivity to hit I long suits an actual target man that Rom isn't. I'd love him to stay of course just can't see it.

He seems to love it here. We appear to have told him the right things re our future plans.
Time for the club to put up or shut in the Summer really.

I lost count of the number of times I saw Rom give a thumbs up to a player that tried to thread something through for him to run onto, only for it to not quite be right. He was working hard, just the quality to get it to him was not there.

Everton's goal must be to get that quality around him, or we are kidding ourselves about breaking into the Top 4.
Playing with 3 defensive midfielders for me is a joke and will never get us there. Go out in the Summer and get some attacking quality into the 11.
