Imagine if we hadn't got Lukaku on loan last season and went the season with Kone / Naismith
Stubbs would have been planning our assault on the Championship playoffs in 2015/2016 season
I have praised Lukaku as much as I've criticised him, I don't think I have ever posted in this thread before a tad little joke on kone's name in the same way people had a mess around with Barkleys name in his thread, Kone had barely kicked a ball for us, then got injured an people wrote him off, I can't remember ever commenting as for Martinez my want for him not to be our manager was instant, he made me look stupid last season which was great as us as fans reaped the benefits, to me this is the type of season I expected under Martinez, he ain't going anywhere so hopefully we get back to challenging for Europe next season, but I can't see it, if my post come across as negative or pessimistic that's because I call it how I see it, there will be people who now think we are back on track after the last few results, for me if we aren't allowed to judge Martinez on a whole season without being called a kneejerker then the same has to be said for a 4 game run. Martinez and his signings are not the answer to our aims.Ian, you were at it frequently regarding lukaku, yet brushed aside the reasonings for his poor efforts.
Now he has scored a few and somewhat redeemed himself a little, you've moved onto others. It's all you do mate. You were amongst the 1st stating Martinez out back in September.

He'll score, and people will say he'll be like a new signing - before promptly doing nothing of note ever again obviously.
Just admit that you don't like black players for Everton.
