    Romelu Lukaku

    Apart from staying in the long term, which is somewhat unrealistic, then I'd expect this to be the route that the club's hierarchy will be aiming for. We'd get another year out of him with all the benefits that would bring and a guaranteed price next Summer that suited both him and ourselves.

    Romelu Lukaku

    I tend to agree and the more I think about it along with others actions in the past, it feels to some degree part of a strategy to induce an outcome. Is he intentionally distancing himself from both the club and the fan base through social media to ease a transition, or is he simply being...

    Romelu Lukaku

    Oh no... Romelu talked to a member of staff from a club who he actually once played for and may have known from before his time here.

    Romelu Lukaku

    He chose to play for Spain rather than his native Brazil and he has been living in Europe for all of his adult life so I'd expect some link to it. Add to the fact, the 2013-14 Champions League final where due to injury he had to quickly leave the pitch before Real went to win it at the end. So...

    Romelu Lukaku

    If true then you're correct, however equally there's been a fair few sound bites from Morata himself about Chelsea, so who knows. Perhaps their interest really is in Lukaku, perhaps it's not. Perhaps it was but Conte has turned his eyes elsewhere because of reasons unknown. As mentioned...

    Romelu Lukaku

    As @suey_11 rightly mentioned above, right now it's purely press speculation that is suggesting that Costa's move is nigh on certain to occur. He's going to be a Champion again, in a team where he plays a pivotal role and under a manager who'll give them a great chance in Europe. Obviously he...

    Costa moving would start a chain of transfers just like dominoes. If he doesn't, which I hope is likely, then Rom may ultimately stay another year.

    Romelu Lukaku

    His finish looked sublime from my angle and all credit for it, although for large swathes of the game he was relatively quiet and ineffective. However, once again he was able to come up with the goods when required so it's difficult to have much more than a minor grumble!

    Romelu Lukaku

    Sums up my sentiments almost perfectly.

    Romelu Lukaku

    He'll be close to each award but as others have mentioned I think Dele Alli is almost certainly a shoe-in for the young player award. The senior award will go to one of the media darlings like Hazard, Kante or Ibrahimovic with a Chelsea player being the most likely.

    Romelu Lukaku

    Nice to see that people are much more interested in a internet personality and their supposed sources rather than our actual best player.

    Romelu Lukaku

    Valuations are difficult to gauge and some may rightly argue that the Stones fee now looks excessive and you have to consider the English factor. Really the fee is based on how much a club needs a player combined with how willing the seller is or any financial necessity to bring money in. On...

    Romelu Lukaku

    Obviously it's all speculation but as you mention numerous accounts do mention the release clause as a pivotal point in the negotiations stalling. The club will want a high fee but that will potentially price clubs out of a move which is not in his interest, so I understand why he wouldn't...

    Romelu Lukaku

    Others may disagree, but for me Rom looks a smart and relatively decent individual. If there isn't a deal that suits both parties this summer... ... then I think he'll sign a contract including a release clause and will then leave either in the January window or the next summer.

    Romelu Lukaku

    At home at least we're gaining a real ruthless streak where we simply do not ease off and settle for the 1-0 or 2-0 victories like we previously did. I'm sure clubs must now be looking at their fixtures at Goodison with real trepidation, and part of that is down to Rom so that should be heralded.

    Romelu Lukaku

    Chelsea will certainly be reliant on any prospective move by Costa and I'm sure Arsenal haven't shown the ambition he's meant to be thriving for. Like yourself, for me PSG ticks all the boxes as it's high exposure, guaranteed domestic success and clear ambitions to succeed in the CL. There's...

    Romelu Lukaku

    Booing Lukaku will not help our ever so small chances of him eventually signing a contract favourable to both him and the club in the near future. Nor may it help him continue or improve his performances, which will in turn help sustain or improve his worth to the club.

    Romelu Lukaku

    I think the fact Pogba's price tag has to this present time looked incredibly overinflated, we'll struggle to realistically expect a similar figure. Saying that however, while I obviously would prefer if he stayed at Everton, if someone offered close to £75m then I think we'd reluctantly accept.

    Romelu Lukaku

    If you ignore his performances and numbers of goals this season... his overall number of goals in his relatively short career.... that he's only 23... ... and the fact we were also woeful for two seasons. Then yes he does deserve the criticism that some of our fans seems to needlessly aim at him.

    Romelu Lukaku

    Unfortunately there's 'other' reasons why many of our fans feel the need to criticise him regardless of the facts.
