Lukaku

[Khalekan]

I am old enough to remember when we liked Belgians at Everton.

Indeed.

Jacques Brel songs were the crowd favourites over the tannoy at half time.

 

[riddick]

Theres really only so many places he can go and succeed. Dont think anywhere in Spain would suit him as his first touch is really quite poor. Wolfsburg would be a good spot for him as would Italy. Dont think either would have any interest in giving us how much he would command so...well, thats that.

 

[TheHumbleEgg]

The second striker since Lineker to score 20 goals for us in a season (36 or 37 in last 2 seasons), and at the age of 21... And he's getting dog's abuse in here.

Incredible.

.....astonishing innit, like we're a club flushed with talent.

Has @hktoffee commented on this yet do we know?

 

[AndyZ]

Nope

Chelsea wanted rid, He wouldn't have even made there bench

Truth is that hardly anyone came in for him at the 28m asking price, If a top CL club had approached him he wouldn't be here

Has @hktoffee commented on this yet do we know?

Or @Christiffa25 copied and pasted another Martinez moan?

Evertonians have been institutionalised into mid table ambition by Moyes.

 

[loooweee]

Woooo oo still can't believe we bought him

We should be aiming for the best, certainly.

Agreed mate.

 

[Elong]

Agreed mate.

5th place is the new mid table?

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

5th place is the new mid table?

11th place is.

 

[Elong]

11th place is.

Moyes finished 17th in his second year didn't he?

 

[DanEFC92]

Moyes finished 17th in his second year didn't he?

He also achieved 4-6th multiple times. I don't get the mid-table ambition regarding Moyes comment.

 

[james2805]

Best striker we have had in a long time.

It's clear if we had a talented No10 Attacking Midfielder who can actually play the style Martinez wants that he would bag a load more goals.

Instead for most of the season we had Steven Naismith taking every first touch backwards before passing sideways or to the opponent!

(No surprise that our form picked up a bit once our Nais was benched...)

Shame he feels the need to say things or have his agent constantly put him on the market. Can see why him and Mourinho never really saw eye to eye.

Can't believe you're making me defend Moyes here mate. Massively different times. Martinez had a lot better squad and only managed 8 more points.
