Lukaku

Twenty goals can't be sniffed at, although admittedly only 10 in the league so far is a pretty poor return. For those who say we'd be relegated without those goals, I've just looked at our results. If we removed all his league goals we'd have 7 less points right now - 40 instead of 47. So safe, but far too close for comfort!!! Would have been definite squeaky bum time over the last few weeks

what about his assists?
i think its fair to assume that if he got injured for the season - with kone only being a replacement when fit we'd have hardly had any of his assists either.

Good to see him reach double figures in the league.

Certainly a once in a lifetime talent.

This thread is unreal. He is only 22 and a serious player in the making .. Get him some decent service and get big dunc to work on the aggression side of his game and he will be class ...

Absolutely brilliant player, worth every penny.

I'm not all that fussy on him but if he attacked the six yard area like he did yesterday, when he scored, I'd have less to complain about, and I guarantee he'd score a lot more goals, he took the goal well yesterday, let's see him keep
attacking the six yard area a lot more often.

If only we could get the ball there more often.

Rom was doing Del boy's goal celebration yesterday. Del boy is coming back, I hope.

I think part of the problem is that lukaku has been asked to play up front on his own most of the season. This has included him running the channels which nullifies his ability to get on the 'end' of things. To get the best out of him we need a natural playmaker to see a pass and a winger to deliver quality crosses. As it is we have neither.

Just looking and I think Rom will share the award with Alan for Europa top scorer, actually. Alan did score 8 in the Europa league proper, and with the same assists. If they split it beyond there Alan also scored them all in fewer minutes (against weaker teams, but still).

Looking at past Europa top scorers I think they just share it if players have the same goals, not even sure they use assists, so I think Rom will definitely win the award, but he'll have to share it!

I heard if the top scorer is shared, they award it to the guy with the longest penis. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not?

The ball is played into that area plenty of times, but there is no movement off lukaku, he is like a statue, never makes the
opposition work, yesterday's goal was different, plenty of movement to get to the ball and score.You can't tell me he is usually like that, he is too timid, should fight for every ball and keep the opponents working, he makes it too easy for them.

He has a lot to work on if he really wants to get to play for a top European side, which is his real ambition.

Well when we bought him i bet some were saying "what a waste of money", "with 28m im sure we could of got a 20 goal a season man"...etc

Some talk about his lack of movement and laziness, well to be honest i would find it hard to get my movement up all the time if i knew the play is going to break down more often than not. Martinez hasnt helped Lukaku with the way he has set the side up, neither have some of the players behind him. Either way we have a decent return from him, which is all we can ask.

I've also heard if the players involved have equal penis lengths, the winner is decided, in a straight race, by who can orgasm the quickest.

Not had any concrete confirmation on this. Can anyone provide a link?

To be honest, for 28m I'd have wanted a lot more goals than 20. I think we paid way too much for him, but I still thought he'd get around that many this season. He wasn't far off that last year after a spell out with injury, and a bit of a drought before the injury.
