Played 30 plus games for the previous 4 seasons now, not sure luck has much to do with it tbh.

It's fairly obvious what's going on - he wants to leave but the club won't sell

not for me,its not,no one has heard him say a thing,just what was reported which was supposedly wrong as in twisted to make it sound differnt to what was said,as well,,if i did it i would have him sign new contract with amount going down each year a touch if he wanted to go,still think he will stay 1 year more
Add to that who can afford to buy him - not many clubs.
Also how many of the clubs that could afford to buy actually need a striker ?.

Lukaku will flop against the shh&/e and Utd, he has already decided he wants to go, it's not the end of the world folks.
Their is 6 teams above us who don't have a lukaku in their team, we will find another and move on

Whatever Lukaku is doing,koeman said he expected a decision after the internationals,hopefully if koeman does find out,koeman tells us as well,if nothing is said

I agree with what Osman said on Sky. Everton's setup is to get the best out of Lukaku. If he leaves he has to adopt other style of play. Might not be the best move for him.
Like what happened with Benteke at the RS.
Chelsea - costa Spurs - Kane city - aguero United - zlatan Arsenal - Sanchez wellbeck giroud Walcott.
Your right they don't have lukaku but they have others who do we have again? When he's gone ...
At Spurs they seem to be signing up the bulk of their key players on extended contracts on less than £150k a week. The odd one out two would command fees equal to or greater than the suggested value of RL but at Spurs you see a club that clearly is delivering as opposed to talking about delivering.
If as some suggest RL is worth north of £60 million then his worth in wage terms is signifactenly higher than £150 k a week it's more like £200 -£250 k a week. If you want to talk about transfer values you can't ignore the wages that are being paid elsewhere.
RL was never going to be at Everton long term , I think we all know that.
To date there has been a lot of promises hints of delivery but has there really been progression ?
Try looking at it through his eyes and not through blue tinted glasses.RL like 99.9%of players won't care about a balance sheet indeed look at Arsenal and Sanchez he is on top wages, wants more pay but it's about playing ambition and based on what you know as fact will Everton be able to break in the top four with the likes of Man City and Chelsea clearly looking to spend big as will Man City?.
Put in the mix Spurs and Arsenal and unfortunately Liverpool for me that suggests Everton s squad requires significant investment and I am not talking about £100 million I am talking possibly double that to even stand a chance, albeit even then remote, to finnish higher that 3 of the teams I mention above
With the rigours of the EL players who have done ok this year simply too old or not of a standard to deliver week in week out through an entire season and the youngsters whilst promising will inevitably go through dips in form and need to be taken out the firing line.

I do think Moshiri is delivering but just at a much slower pace. The new stadium project is taking place. The transfer of this summer will be very interesting because this will shape up the core of the team next season. And Everton is back in Euro too.

Sounds like he definitely wants out and we can't really blame him. However, whilst I accept his ambitions, there seems to be a clear disregard by the media mostly and other fans about OUR ambition. We don't necessarily have to sell and Lukaku can't hold us to ransom when he has to prove to other clubs that he is a model professional, and wants to achieve his own targets like becoming the league's top scorer.
I don't like this attitude developing that Everton are some little nomark club and we have a player on our hands that is way out of our league. He has been great since he's been here, lazy at times with a poor attitude too, but he's proven he's among the best this season and can go to the very top of the game. However, he has had little pressure on him whilst here which will not be true at the clubs he wants to play at. He had a perfect chance to help us win a trophy last season and wrecked it with his misses in the Semi Final, he downed tools last season when he had reached 18 goals with 3 months to play and squandered a chance to be top scorer, and we still have an outside chance of the top 4 this season. Whether he steps up in the next week will be interesting.

We will buy another striker or two, in the same way that all of those teams would if they lost their main striker. We might not be able to attract someone like Aguero yet, but with the increased wages and European football on offer we'll certainly be shopping in the higher end of the market.
