How did Bobby do?

Everton played four matches in the month of March, winning two and losing two. One of those wins happened to be in the FA Cup quarter final, so the Blues are through to Wembley for a semi-final in April.

3-1 win, away at Aston Villa (Premier League)

2-3 loss, home against West Ham United (Premier League)

2-0 win, home against Chelsea (Emirates FA Cup)

0-2 loss, home against Arsenal (Premier League)

With nine games to play, Everton are in twelfth place, where they finished last season as well. They are currently twelve points adrift of Manchester United in sixth place, so it's a safe assumption that the chances of a Europa League spot are slim to none. The FA Cup remains the Toffees only chance of salvaging any pride from yet another wasted season.

Keeping that in mind, how would you grade Everton over the month of March? How do you feel Roberto Martinez did with the squad at his disposal?

Romelu Lukaku agent says striker is attracting interest from Europes top clubs via everton-mad

Everton look set for a summer battle to hang on to top scorer Romelu Lukaku after the striker's agent talked up interest from a number of Europe's leading clubs

The 22-year-old has scored 25 goals this season despite the club's disappointing campaign and that has alerted a number of suitors, according to the Belgium international's representative Mino Raiola.

"Lukaku? Of course, Juventus as a solution could go well," Raiola is reported to have told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"But keep an eye on PSG and Real Madrid too for the Everton striker."

At the weekend Lukaku, while on international duty, spoke of his desire to play among Europe's elite.

"I'm 23 next summer and it would be nice to play in the Champions League next season," he said.

Romelu Lukaku transfer rumors – will he leave Everton? via Royal Blue Mersey

GettyImages-513862974.0.jpg

Is Romelu Lukaku ready to pack his bags and move onto a Champions League club?

Everton's 2015-16 campaign has been a difficult slog for supporters and players alike. The Merseyside outfit has compiled a roster stocked with talent that has failed to live up to expectations. Star striker Romelu Lukaku is one of the elite scorers in the Premier League and seems to only be getting stronger. However, he hinted to Sky Sports that he wants Champions League football next season, which is something that the Toffees cannot offer.

"That is the next step for me," Lukaku said. "I'm 23 next summer and I think it would be nice to play in the Champions League from next season."

Everton do still have a shot at European play for next year. They are one of the final four teams left in the FA Cup, but winning that competition would only result in a spot in the Europa League, a competition where Lukaku dominated, scoring eight goals in nine appearances during the 2014-15 season.

Lukaku's father is piling onto the rumors. The Liverpool Echo is quoting the elder Lukaku saying that Rom could be playing for clubs in Italy, Germany, Spain and England next season.

"He's ready," Lukaku Sr. said. "I see that there is interest from Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Chelsea and Manchester United…I know his agent prefers Italy, but I think he must choose Manchester United or Bayern Munich. Manchester United is a team under construction with no real focus. Bayern is a machine where he can rotate well. The only condition is if Robert Lewandowski leaves."

There is a lot to dissect there, especially when it comes to the two English teams. Neither one is set up for Champions League play in the immediate future and neither squad officially knows who their manager will be a few months from now.

The real hammer of this whole story came from Romelu himself when he was asked if he was leaving Everton this summer.

"Maybe yes. If it can," Lukaku said. "I'm 23. It's time to measure me at the very top. For me, my form at Everton is very good. I can be top scorer of the competition, and so I want to help my team to do better, because at present, our team performance is below par."

There have been rumblings of things like this for a while with Lukaku. His quality is undeniable and the top players want to play in the Champions League against the likes of Messi and Ronaldo, so this could be the beginning of the end of his time with the Toffees. But the Echo's story is coming from a translated interview with the Belgian press. This happens a lot on international breaks and getting lost in translation is a real thing sometimes, so don't completely panic.

Whatever the case may be, Everton will get their money out of this. As was evidence with the John Stones saga last summer, the Toffees are not in the business of giving away top young talent for peanuts. Lukaku came to Everton for a club record fee of £28 million. Given how well he has played during his time with the club and the number of teams that are said to be interested, there should be no problem in doubling that sum. That, coupled with the influx of cash from Farhad Moshiri could lead to a lot of new players in Blue over the summer. However, I hope that Rom give the Toffees one more season to prove their quality.
