Yes that's why he has probably not signed his contract buy out too low - contracts mean nothing if the buy out clause is attractively low !

I'd just noticed. Excellent post. Genuinely nice to see.
Looked happy with life....but I suppose that means jack
Davek always produces good debate some like him some dislike him - he's a good debater on things about the game, always raises issues some posters disagree some agree that's what the forums for

He's scored more goals than Ronaldo domestically this season.
At least he never threw an item of his kit into the gladwys st either

I'm fairly happy with my judgement on him back then ..
"I think Rom's a really good player, with a great finish.
He reminds me a bit of Rodwell in terms of attitude. Whenever I used to watch Rodwell play I felt that he didn't play with enough drive, passion, which would often let him down and mean he'd lose some balls he should have won, not be assertive enough in situations where he needed to be and it'd make him less effective as a player.
If Rom played with a bit more aggression and urgency he'd become a beast of a player. I think we've seen it in flashes, more so in the first half of the season but he needs to play with more drive. He's too laid back, loses 50\50 balls he should win, and doesn't run head on at defenders enough, using his immense power and speed to make them panic.
Lukaku plays like Drogba without the aggression, a worst first touch and less assertiveness. He's got the ability though, he just needs to change his mindset and he'll become top drawer. If anyone can get him to do that I think it'll be Martinez.
Even if he never improves other parts of his game he's worth the 24m because his finishing is top drawer and that'll always guarantee him a certain amount of goals. If he does improve other parts of his game we'll have a hell of a player on our hands. To me it's a no brainer, if we can afford him we should buy him."

The thing about Lukaku this season that impresses me the most- it doesn't matter how crap we are playing. He will probably score lol

Lukaku is definitely the difference maker in this side. That being said, there are other strikers around. But this current squad would be lost without him and likely Ross. I'm thrilled about how Davies and CL were playing today and their future is bright, BUT these guys wouldn't have the time and space they have without those two.
That being said, imagine mixing in 2 or 3 more players at close to their level in this side. Wow.

Of course he's not. That's the point though, maybe we can get away without a world class forward if the rest of the team can create clear cut chances. Perhaps his first against Bournemouth and the Man City away goals are Rom's and his only, the rest i don't feel he has had to work that hard for, another decent striker (say a Gabbiadini) could probably amass a similar tally.
Not saying i want him to go though and it will make next season harder if he does go, but if we keep adding more quality elsewhere we perhaps can make up for it.
I certainly do not see us as Lukaku + luggage.
