Yeah I remember when Jeffers was 20 and had a near 1 in 2 record overall at Everton and everyone was raving about him based on goals alone. Nobody could question his talent and potential then as well.
Except you could, as his overall game was nowhere near up to scratch and his career showed as such.
Lukaku scores goals, albeit the current love-in is due to 3 goals in 1 game against a sub-par side on the night where he was given all three on a plate - he played very well, but it doesn't excuse the fact that for a good four months now at the very least he's been absolutely dire except for the odd goal going in off his hip or whatever.
I don't dislike Lukaku, I want to like him, but I can't just ignore everything wrong with his game, especially given his last good performance for us was in Europe and he promptly followed that up with months upon months of pure gash, culminating in coming out to the media and claiming he was a big fish in a small pond, despite not being one of our best five players this year.
Let's see him do the business for a good few months before we start labelling him as anything. All he's proven thus far is that he's a good mid-tier Premier League striker who'll get goals like Yakubu did but offer nothing much else on the pitch. For £28m, he needs to be more than the next Yakubu for us over a long period of time.
