Don't talk daft.no lad he's pants, should get rid this summer
get someone in who runs around a lot and isn't so lazy
did you know he cost 28 million??
He is still only young and learning the trade.This business about him going to be "one of the best strikers in Europe".
I just don't see it.
He can be very good on his day but those days just don't come often enough.
To me, the whole Lukaku conundrum was summed up today with that header down The Street.
FFS a centre forward who can't head a ball for toffee is only half a centre forward.
This is the part I just can't get on board with. The way some people talk, you'd think we were lucky to have him.He is still only young and learning the trade.
He is going to get 20 goals this season and he has been managed poorly and played out of position quite a lot.
Yes we have had an awful season by our standards but rom will be a top player in a few years
This is the bit that concerns,I appreciate the posters who keep saying he's only 21,but if you can't consistently get the ball under control by that age,will you ever?Top players can do the basics properly.
I would take whatever we got him for and wish him all the best.

From the echo: "Lukaku turns 22 next week, and could have 20 goals in a season, both home and abroad. Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer were also both 22 when they hit 20 for the first time, while Wayne Rooney was approaching that age when hitting that target. Andy Cole, meanwhile, had just turned 23. Those four make up five of the all-time leading Premier League goalscorers."
He definitely looks like someone who was able to get by on size as a youth player, and just barged the other kids out of the way without worrying too much about skill or technique.This is the bit that concerns,I appreciate the posters who keep saying he's only 21,but if you can't consistently get the ball under control by that age,will you ever?
......yes, touch can really improve with age.
......yes, touch can really improve with age.
Does it improve with experience?
Cheeses, steaks, fine wines etc. improve with age.
If he can't get the ball under control now, his first touch won't be as good in 5yrs time as someone who can now. It's a basic. It should be inherent, not taught.
