Lukaku's Everton Frustration

[ashwuk76]

I'm sorry but I'm struggling here... he's saying exactly what we are all thinking.. .. where does it say he won't sign the contract? Where does it say he wants to leave? He's just as frustrated as we are at the lack of quality signings. Let's hope this wakes up the board to deliver what they said they would. I take it from this that he wants to win with Everton but those around him be that the board or manager don't want the same...

Doesn't say a thing wrong there imo, who in his position wouldn't be asking the same? How many of us have said the same? Yes he has his faults, but the guy wants to win, I for one only hope the Board can match that ambition

 

[ToffeeTim]

The echo spun this as something it isn't. It's a fine interview by someone who wants to win far more than our board.

And we wouldn't have been in the semi final only for him v Chelsea

How do you know that?

Lukaku is playing the fans like a fiddle.

 

[Khalekan]

The only thing is City signed Robinson in 2008 and won the FA Cup in 2011. It's not lIke it was 1 year and we've shown progress in our first season spending. This is all to gain sympathy

And the sad thing is many of our friends on here are buying into it.

A Stradivarious at that

Isn't that the same as how we all feel?
Every transfer window we hear links; Moutinho, Witsel, Mata, VVD, etc and every window we end up frustrated and underwhelmed.

He has said nothing that we haven't said ourselves.

Would kone have scored the goals he did do you think

I dunno.

But we aren't talking about Kone.

You were asked to tell us why we would not have knocked Chelsea out the Cup without Rom's goals.

After all, we never conceded. So without those goals, welcome as they were, we would not have lost the game.

Down there for the replay..... maybe even beat them on penalties like we did last time.

When Chelsea were a better team than last season

So no, you cannot say with certainty that without Rom we would not have been in the semi.

What you can say however, is that if he had scored the penalty and knocked in a couple of the great chances he spurned, then we would most probably have made the Final

Surely this statement show's he want's to stay? Otherwise he would wait until he leaves before bumping his gums.
This reads to me as an olive branch to board saying i might stay if you show me the worldies signing on.

 

[Tubey]

He's right though. As said, the lack of statement signing last summer was telling. That window did colossal damage to us.

That said, he shouldn't be saying it, period. He's trying to engineer a move, believing he's bigger than the club.

My answer for that behaviour is always the same - drop him, set a large fee and let him rot in the reserves until someone meets it. He's not bigger than the club, so I hope we act with a bit of pride on this one.

 

[Tramps_mate]

Got to agree with him tbh...

 

[summerisle]

Moshiri's said exactly the same thing "we don't want to be a museum, we want to win". We need patience, let's see what happens in the summer.

OK mate. We would be a better team without him too the last few seasons.
All those chances he missed and balls he didn't chase. Release clause of 5 million be plenty for him.
