Are we a one man team?

I dont see how. The whole team is set up to fashion him with chances. If he leaves we will need a facsimile to avoid the overhaul of the whole way of playing our football. And tbh I think Koeman will be up for that. The way we play right now is not pure Koeman. It's a hybrid between the effort he requires and the particular technical ability of the players he's inherited.

That almost sounds like praise for Koeman, almost.

No mate. I think Koeman will hope to revert to a game plan left behind when Bolasie limped out of the season - a game plan no one thought was either effective of impressive.

If he leaves we get 70m to replace him.

We cant replace him, hes irreplaceable, but 70m will certainly help part fill the void, teams dont replace quality players.

Your acting like if Lukaku leaves we dont replace him with ANYBODY, we will replace his role in the team.
 

Aren't we the team with the highest number of players scoring goals? I.e players from all over the pitch scoring? Thought someone shared this on the forum yesterday. At the same time, I think the spread of goals actually underscores that we don't have enough high-scoring midfielders or center backs (I feel like a champion chasing side should always have a defender who can contribute 6-7 goals over the course of a campaign. Ron K being a case in point).

If he leaves we take a punt on a striker that would be around the £50M mark. That's it. No guarantees, not the guarantee you get now of a player who plays all the time and scores the volume of goals he gets.

In other words: we'd leave the security of certainty behind and embrace hope against hope.

Not a chance on Gods earth we pay 50m for a Striker, utterly dreaming if you think we would.

20m TOPS, the rest goes to replace Barks who we allowed to leave on a free.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT DAVE?

As I posted yesterday from the BBC site, shows we aren't a one man goal scoring machine.

  • Everton have now had more different goalscorers than any other side in the Premier League this season (15).
Snap! You were the post I was referring to! Sorry I didn't see if before I posted.

For well over a decade we've wanted a 20 goal a season striker, and now we've got one, we're worrying about the fact that we've got one means he's involved in a lot of our goals.

To some extent, I share your concerns, but we're a funny lot us Evertonians, because we can always find something to stress about !
