Lukaku - Love affair over ?

He was in every single way the exact same player for us. Exactly the same. He has a close to 1 in 2 goalscoring record for both clubs, and he was equally as bad in general play here as he is at United.

The difference is standards. Evertonians turned a blind eye to him being terrible because we got used to terrible strikers since the early 90s onwards, with very few exceptions. United fans don't do that - their recent history is Van Nistelrooy, Ibrahimovic, Rooney, Van Persie - our recent history is James Beattie, Denis Stracqualursi and Victor Anichebe.

The truth is Lukaku was good enough for an Everton treading water in 7th, and nowhere near good enough for a Manchester United wanting top four/the title.

And for me, Lukaku wasn't good enough for the Everton I wanted - one that has ambitions to compete with the top four. Hence why I was (and still am) very happy we got rid and rinsed United for the money.

Agree with all of this. Still see the odd post of people imagining what we would be like if we still had Lukaku now that we have Richarlison, Digne, Bernard, Walcott etc. We'd be worse and the lads would hate playing with him

Totally agree. I honestly think people who rate him have never played football to any recognised amateur level.

He is so poor technically that he concedes possession... how are you meant to win football matches like that? He must have the skin of a rhino..... I would be embarrassed to lose the ball the way he does. Yeah he scores goals when he's not shinning the ball all over the park and he's not offside.....


Lukaku is like watching footy on a kodi box..... performs when it's Burnley playing.... stick one of the top 4 on and it just freezes.

absolute tosh.
 
He scored around 25 goals for us in his final season... but he's crap lads :oops:

He's too bulky this season if he became leaner he would be lethal, I remember his goals against Bournemouth on the counter and he done them for pace.
