Lukaku

That side deserved to win something, arguably our best Prem era team. I still think had we beaten Fiorentina that night we would have won the tournament.

Regarding Lukaku I have no problem with him wanting to win things. That is what we all want as fans.
Hopefully they have a good long look at what went wrong last season and sort it for the next campaign.

Needs to keep his gob shut tho....dont hear our other players (like Stones) on international duty shooting the shoite.

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.

No way.

The Yak was way better.

I for one will enjoy having him here one more season. Because the reality is a young gun like Lukaku needs to be playing in Europe every season. Our basket case club under the incumbents provide us no chance.
Have a great season Rom. I will watch your last one here at Everton with enjoyment and have the fondest memories ...

All players are ambitious but under this board of ours we as a club are not.

Players will always use us as a stepping stone simple as that.

Lukaku has always liked to talk. He has done it all his career and will continue to do so. Not great I agree but that is his nature.

He's gone next summer unless we fluked it into the CL, so imo just ignore his comments and enjoy his last season in the hope his Big move brings out the ultimate best in him!

I don't think any striker with only 10 goals from 36 PL appearances last season ought to be shouting the odds about wanting CL football!!

If he goes this season then he'll cost a fortune. I never expected him to stay longer than 2 - 3 seasons as unless the club heavily invests we aren't going to compete for honours and big players aren't going to stick around. That goes for Barkley, Stones, McCarthy and Coleman as well.

Do these comments coming from everton players undermine Martinez? Undoubtedly. It's the new breed of player though. Difficult to control. Fans are fickle as well tho. The crowd across the park hail a new king every year wanting to place gold statues of some icon (hendo being the latest) outside analfield only for the icon to shag off and shack up with a better bit of Totti. U have to be realistic now days and put up with some waffle from players. They need to produce the goods regularly tho. If they only bit part producers move em on and get in the dough

To an extent but like you said, it's the modern day player. If we had a good season you can bet they would be keeping their mouths shut but because it was a shocker they're looking for every chance to speak up and not affect their reputation despite the fact that most of the squad under performed. Raiola has been having a word with him that's for sure.

Exactly. It annoys me when players come out with stuff like this. If you want Champions League football then play better for your club and you may achieve it.

Belgians need to pipe down.
