Romelu Lukaku

Wow.

So what was his excuse at Wembley when all he had to do was best the goalie from twelve yards?

Or when he had the chance to put the Hammers game beyond their reach?

You're right, it had never occurred to me that a striker had ever missed a chance before. The rational response is obviously BURN EVERYTHING!

 

[flibbyflob]

don't blame you Rom lad, i'd be off as well

I would too. Wasted here given what the lies they must have told him to convince him to stay.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Not going to sign a new contract I assume after this latest fiasco - when do we think he gets sold?

 

[KaiserEFC]

He's sat there thinking "where's all this ambition then? Guess I'll just have to mouth off for another move in January"

 

[d4kyxx]

I don't blame him for wanting to leave now. I had time for him giving us a chance hoping that the new owner would change things but he was only going to give us a year and if we didn't get top four he was always going to go

Now I fully support his decision to want to leave. Just hope he can find some form because if you take his goals away we are more or less the same team as last season and you can't be confident

Rom will be looking round at this new era/project thinking WOW new goalie, Steklenberg class was at Fulham, Bloody hell another massive signing 32Year old Ashley Will.. Wait whats this? Valencia on loan? my word im glad i stayed what a statement we are making... EFC are back.

Now i hope and think some of signings will do well just don't think they are ones fans and Rom were expecting and not signings that will encourage Romelu to stay!

You're just being silly now, aren'T you?

Aren't you?

 

[Tin-Tin]

Agree and at the end of the season he will have 2 years left on his contract so he will be 100% off.

Thing is he can be disapointed with what we have done, but he still has to score himself, his form on the pitch has to be better then the clubs form in the window, otherwise he is giong nowhere anyway.

Romelu Lukaku promises goals for Everton once injuries are behind him

Romelu Lukaku has vowed to score goals for Everton for at least one more year, once he is 100 per cent fit.

The 22-year-old former Chelsea striker is yet to score this season having started just one Premier League game after struggling with fitness since returning from Euro 2016 with Belgium.

Lukaku was the subject of transfer speculation throughout the summer after he confirmed he wanted to move away from Goodison Park at the end of last season, leaving agent Mino Raiola to handle his future while he went on holiday.


However, after Farhad Moshiri became majority shareholder at the club and Ronald Koeman arrived as manager, Lukaku remained with the Toffees and is now focused on scoring goals for the club, once he is over his injury problems.

When asked if speculation around his future had affected his form, Lukaku told Sky Sports News HQ: "Not at all. I left it all to my agent, he dealt with it.

"I just went on holiday and when I came back the last game before the season started I had an injury. It kept me out for a long time. I couldn't do anything with it.

"So now for me it's just my pre-season phase so I'm working really hard to be 100 per cent fit. As soon as I'm fit the goals will come for sure."

Lukaku is currently away with the Belgium squad ahead of their World Cup Qualifier against Cyprus on Tuesday, where Roberto Martinez, who was sacked as Everton manager in May, will take charge of his second game as the national coach.

New Everton boss Koeman spent £28m to bring in Yannick Bolasie and£12m to add defender Ashley Williams this summer, and has overseen an unbeaten start to the season, but Lukaku revealed he and Koeman had little direct contact during the transfer window.

"Me and him (Koeman) didn't talk too much about the situation," said Lukaku. "He was in contact with my agent throughout the period. I just focused on my football. For me personally I just want to do my best for the team."

When asked if he would stay one more year at Everton, Lukaku simply replied: "Yeah."

Rumours Lukaku was unhappy with Martinez taking over as Belgium head coach emerged after he was pictured animated while on the Everton substitutes bench when news of Martinez's appointment broke, but the striker - who has 49 goals for his national side - quashed the speculation.

"You are on the bench you cannot focus on stuff happening outside the pitch," he added. "I don't know how people get stuff like that it's really crazy."

Lukaku also praised the appointment of former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry as Belgium assistant coach, saying: "He is really demanding and somebody that won a lot and is always really vocal. That's something we really need."

Very good of him to promise to score some goals. That's what he's getting paid to do.

I think Mate no one wanted to pay our price.

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

Rom joined us just 3 years ago and he has already scored more goals for Everton than the great Duncan Ferguson. What's more, he's only just turned 23. This kid is going to go down as one of the greatest strikers in Premier League history.

Me too. I'd rather that we still had big Vic up front.
