Will Moshiri be able to convince Lukaku?

[LostLegend]

In regards to convincing Lukaku, I really think that ship has sailed.

Whether or not he goes depends on someone matching our valuation.

 

[mkrudden]

He's given the reasons why and they were more than fair.

Imagine how good he would be if he felt like we matched his ambition?

Oh I don't blame him at all mate.
World class finishers don't want to play for teams who finish 7th.
I'm just a bit tired of him off the pitch, as in with the media etc.
I'm just a bit meh towards him now tbh.

 

[Khalekan]

I just don't think we should be selling to rival clubs.

Every major club in Europe is going to be a rival from now on

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

No.

Lukaku is a massive child who believes his own importance. He either wants back to Chelsea or more than likely wants to play out with Pogba at Man U. They can invent silly handshakes and pathetic emojis together. Probably have a game of knock and run after the match too.

I'm happy if he stays, as long as he wants too and gets his head down and helps us get to the champions league and winning domestic trophies, being part of an ambitious team and not thinking he's the star man at little ole Everton, if he wants to go then get rid an over 80 Mil is brilliant

Fair enough. I get tired of seeing it all too but at the moment it feels like if he signed a new deal and was vocal about his commitment, it could be a game changer for us as a club.

Moshiri has played a blinder start to the window. Couldn't have asked for more realistically.

It genuinely feels like he saw everything that happened last summer, and found it as disappointing/outright not good enough as us fans did. He's gone about resolving all of the issues in a way that isn't through tweeting false promises like you find at West Ham - he's showed us the difference in the business we've done so far.

He's supported Koeman and Walsh with full confidence to ensure that deals happened with speed that is almost Man City-esque. There's no better way to describe it as it being completely the opposite to "Everton, that".

There's some huge things coming up for us in the window - in particular Lukaku and Barkley's futures.

Phil McNulty made some interesting comments today:







These comments sum up the transformation at the club. We have a player worth £100m who could play for any team in the world (and being completely honest, should be playing at the likes of Real Madrid based on his ability), but we have no interest in selling him. He's just a star player at a club aiming to get to the level he dreams of playing at.

The media have picked all of this up too clearly. With the likely signing of a certain boyhood blue, we can really capitalise on this. Lukaku came out a few months ago, saying everything we as fans have said for decades with the lack of ambition we've had.

We're bringing in players who seem convinced in our newly found ambition, and if we did sell our prize asset I'm equally convinced that we will bring in someone who would fit in straight away and score goals (like Giroud).


There's one question that, if the answer is "Yes" and it does happen, would announce to the world that we mean serious business.

Following on from Phil's tweets - there's a difference between forcing a player to stay put and actually getting him to believe in the club's ambition, and after the past couple of great weeks we've had I'm interested to see where the fans stand on this right now:

Will Moshiri be able to convince Lukaku?

McNulty is an Everton boardroom stooge. He knows f.a.

 

[blulouie]

"Not an option"

Massive climb down from that statement if he stayed.

Club holding all the ace's with this tho.

Not even joking, I literally knew you were going to post more or less exactly that.

You've always been his biggest fan

 

[rochdaleblue]

He's a world class finisher who doesn't want to play for us.
Get shut.

I'm a massive lukaku fan, we've waited what seems like a lifetime to get a 20 goal a season striker and he now wants off. As much as I'd miss lukaku in the pitch, I don't think I could go through another year of him talking about 'Ambition' 'knowing where I want to be' 'a new contract is not an option'. We want talented (lukaku has this in abundance) but committed players to take the club forward. I've reluctantly accepted that it's best if he moved on.

 

[Stephen Gibson]

Lukaku was pretty poor in those last few games. His head had been turned the second 7th was secured. In his mind he had done his job getting us to Europe so now he can get himself to the Champions League.
If he truly doesn't believe we are the right club to do this & crucially get there fast enough then we simply have to sell for as much as possible.

I don't think I could handle a season of watching a football bounce out of control away from a player who used to give a.

A rat who made it his objective to hound Joe Royle out of the club.

I cant think why I'd dislike that.

I have all but forgotten about both him and Barkley with all the excitement being generated at the club this summer.

We want a group of lads anxious to make their names by pushing their and our team to the top.

Not an entitled mouthpiece whom wants to walk into the finished article and a lad whom is dillying and dallying over his future the way he often does with the ball on the pitch.

Screw the two of them if they want to leave.

Onwards and upwards

If Lukaku stays this summer the debate on whether Moshiri is the real deal will be no more.
