Good, seem to recall his dad had some health problems when Rom was with us.
Although compassionate leave is never good news really so hope whatever is wrong works out OK.

Amazing how fluid an attack looks without him ruining it

I looked on Twitter to see why he wasn't playing, not even on the bench, all I could see us United fans saying the same and how they hope he never plays for them again
He hasn't played much recently and United have been awful still.. a certain Jose has gone and United look abit better. Hmmm
If they got their money back I think there wouldn’t be much complaining from the fans

They ain't getting anything close to what they paid for him, top clubs with money want top players, something he clearly isn't

Imagine them scoring that 3rd goal with him in the team?
Nah no way.

I'd pay what we paid for Lukaku back in 2014 if he wanted to be back in blue in January. Funny thing is, even factoring in the two purchases, we'd still be in profit for the price we sold him to Man U for last year lol
Jose was there manager not a player
It would be like Franny Jeffers all over again. Selling a player to a supposed top side who would turn his goalscoring talents into another level - who fails under the expectation and comes back with tail between legs mentally beaten and a waste of a supposed cut down fee and wages.
He's done as far as top level is concerned.
I've always said he is the perfect super sub. 20 minutes to work hard and get some sprints in against tired legs. No one would have paid his wages/fee and suffered his sulking to do that.
I'm not sure he could even do that now. He needs to lose weight, get fit, focused and probably go on loan to a palace or Brighton where the expectation won't weigh too heavy.
He's set for life with his last two contracts and transfers. He just needs to play football and find his level and accept that is his level.
He will look back at his time at Everton and kick himself that he didn't give us more consistent effort, respect and actually tried to absorb our culture and history.... he was too busy looking elsewhere.
