Romelu Lukaku

[Goat]

Also, Ferguson was never prolific. It makes more sense to compare him to say, the likes of Cottee

42 games a season tho mert.

But to expand, when Dixie broke most of his records there was no offside, teams played 5 strikers and you could volley the keepers everywhere.

Different game RayRay.

Aye!

Reckon Rom will equal Duncs record on (when ever we play next) anyrate. And FWIW, reckon Dunc will be chuffed for the lad.

Lukaku
121 Games
59 Goals
0.49

Cottee
184 Games
72 Goals
0.39 gpg

Ferguson
239 Games
74 Goals
0.3 gpg

So even just going by goals and games alone, not seasons, Lukaku is clearly in another league completely. None of them are close to Lineker at ~0.73, but he was the most prolific since Dean, I think.

Said he will be fine for the next match last I saw. Whenever it is. Sunderland home right?

I have to say, it's been on the radio that Everton expect him to be fit to face EFC2009.

Didnt realise/remember Cottee being that prolific.

Oh thats good. Played.

 

[Furey1878]

There's no advantage (from his point of view) in signing right now during the season

Other than potentially doubling his weekly pay, yes.

Also, Lineker only played one season, that GPG surely would have dropped over 3/4 seasons.

If, buts and maybes aint it? That whole team was decimated.

But iirc, he kept up a pretty decent GTG ration at Barcelona and Spurs. And England.

Not entirely sure on his Grampus 8 record mind.

Also, back then, the ball was made of the heaviest leather known to man, and the pitch was a mud pit. The team "physio" looked like a window cleaner, with a cold bucket of water and a sponge (though, some say the sponge had magical powers). Good times.

He never scored as many goals in any season as he did in his 1 for us, came very close in his last year at Spurs mind.

Maybe not. But he didnt exactly fall off a cliff either.

Rom will be remembered as an Everton player long after Linekar is forgotten imo.

Amazed people are still speculating about that injury.

In the newspaper today it said that he'd been struggling with that injury for about 1.5 weeks and he also has a bit of a cold so he was allowed to go to Belgium (like everybody said). Apparently he's at Neerpede where he's training and doing some stuff with the RSCA U19's.
