He's gone mate. Similar scenario to the Stones one: an agreement to stay put this season.
Even if he had signed this season there would have been a clause inserted to trigger his departure if the right fee was offered for him.
I think this is why we didn't go all out in January to sign a back up. All parties must know that we'll be looking to get a starter in and then that will determine the type of forward we get that plays off him....Pelle and Long complimented each other at S'ton in the sense that one was a clear plan B to the others game. Maybe Koeman will go with that again. Or maybe he'll look to get two forwards who can have a lot of game time together.
Either way, Romelu Lukaku is entering the final phase of his Everton career. That is almost guaranteed now.

Oh look it's a ray of sunshine peeping it's head through the clouds to brighten up our day. Hello there sunshine, what a pleasant surprise to see you on this chilly winter's morn.

Question then becomes where is he going Dave?
because frankly whenever this debate starts - like it always does after each transfer window closes about him being off, the same question always comes out and no one has really yet answered it have they?
Which club is gonna come in and pay 70m+ for him, where 1. he'd want to go, 2. Which meets his own personal stated requirements (guaranteed starter, CL footy, challenging for trophies, in a top leauge) and 3. where he fits the system of play

To a more successful team who want him. Who that will be ? Dunno, we'll find out in the summer.

Really insightful there mert
funny thing is, all the ones who constantly bang on about he's off next window (which has been getting said for two seasons now btw) always struggle to actually come out with where he will be going, because when they try to throw clubs around theres normally a huge reason why it isn't realistic

They are all questions that are in attendance with all major signings. They're not great obstacles to his departure though. No matter what a players' stated ideal scenario, compromise is accepted by both sides in any deal.
Lukaku is desperate to play in the CL. He can see how difficult it is for us to nose into those four places, and what guarantees does he have that Everton under this new manager are going to a) thrive, or b ) be handed the resources to do so?
He has the WC summer after next and it will be difficult to iron out the intricacies of a transfer then. This summer is favourite for him to go. The contract is running down to a point where the club have to get real in terms of any sensible fee for him.

Not really mate, if you ask where and who can buy James mccarthy and to name a realistic transfre for him next summer - i can easily list a host of clubs, but the higher up the ladder you go, and the higher the fee, then the list becomes way way shorter, theres about 6 clubs in the world who have ever shown the ability or who have the finances to be able to pull off this type of transfer, and not one fo them looks anything more than speculation and ALL have huge reasons why doing so would actually not be that likely

Yes, you should take note... Would have stopped you from making all those retarded posts saying Barkley was useless a few months back when I was saying he was still boss.
