Lukaku

[Goat]

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

Arouna Kone.

 

[Elong]

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.

Got ya!

Arouna Kone.

Tim Howard.

But it is similar to Moyes' 1st year with European football after he signed, at the time, talented players and we finished 11th.

Not sure I go along with the references to our EX. Think one needs to look at what state the club and team were in when our EX first signed. RM I think when he signed inherited better players.

Its not.

Tim Howard.

Same amount of goals scored for half the price.

 

[Elong]

Same amount of goals scored for half the price.

His net goals for and against would be -9000 though.

Take away his Europa goals and he's not been great this season, what's he got, 12 in the league or something?

ok we've been crap but still.

I think Lukaku is not going to be as good as he thinks he's going to be, his first touch is bad and when you are talking about stikers in the 30m+ bracket first touch is a massive deal.

If someone offered £35m I'd take it.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Take away some of his goals and he's scored less goals.

Hands down the worst argument just so you can cheer on Martinez, aside from Rooney an potentially Martyn who came in part way through that season, there isn't a player from the starting match day squad who would get in our best match day squad

League goals is where its at lad, always has been always will be.

I think when you start comparing this team with Moyes's best team, you have to ask yourself, is Rom any better than Yakubu was? Probably not.

Not having that, Li Tie was sensational.

Now that's just silly.
