Romelu Lukaku

[MACCA75]

Some beaut on some jarg American stream I was watching today suggested he wasn't better than

1. kane
2. costa
3. Aguero
4. Sanchez

For Kane, he says Rom hadn't scored against any of the " big four" in years.


Pretty sure this is utter Bollocks but haven't checked yet. I LOLd at the comparison btw

They are real top players tbh. I'm not sure he is better than any. He's up there with the best as a goalscorer though.

I'll help you with those stats mate as I've been in my shed and found my "Roms goals against the so called big boys"

Scored against Spurs away last week
Scored a double against Chelsea last season in the cup
Bagged a beauty against City away this season
Has plumped 3 against the rs in between taking a dump
Scored a wowzer against the Arse

kill the stream mate, kill it softly and slowly.

Scored against City home too

Scored against City home too

forgot mate, was thinking about the 3rd and him not getting a nick but forgot he scored a lovely 1st.

@Bryan pop this goal down on your list as well mate, he's only gone and lobbed a missile past Bravo in front of the Park Enders

MOTD coming up, wonder who the panel of experts will say Lukaku should go to, usual drill, yeah he is too good for Everton...etc Reckon Lineker will say Spurs or Liverpool

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Probably the first time there isn't an argument against saying he's the best striker in the league right now.

 

[SunKing]

Starting to show glimpses of a player moving up a level in terms of performance. He looked like he was playing 2nd gear for most of the game but has that ability to just turn it on in an instance. Whether standing up defenders and moving past with ease ore that quality assist to Valencia, I'd never been quite sure on what potential he has but now firmly believe he could go on to be one of the best in the game. I just hope to god we get to see him a little longer in Everton blue.

Great player and servant for the club, I wish we were in a position to offer him what he wants on a personal level

 

[TyphooToffee]

First player to score 20+ league goals for us in one season for over thirty years.

We have got to keep this kid, no matter what.

Simple. Finish in the top 4. After all, it's CL football he wants.

Scored against Man City when we beat them 4-0 back in January, scored against City in the 1-1 draw at the Etihad (both in the league) scored against City in the league cup as well. Scored 2 against Chelsea in the fa cup, those of the top of my head.

There's only Kane on that list who may be ahead of him but we're talking the difference of a ciggy paper here.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Well if today is anything to go by, we don't have to worry about him downing tools for the rest of the season

Costa has led the line in a title-winning side in three of the last four seasons. He is better than Kane and Lukaku.

 

[bring the ghost on]

I know. It was a terrible waste. Improvement s have been made, but the fact is we rely overwhelmingly on this lad to do anything as an attacking force. 55% of all our goals coming from his assists and goals.

This is a high stat, but the other teams around us aren't a great deal different - 48% of Arsenal's goals come from Sanchez's assists/goals, 48% of Utd's goals from Ibrahimovic.

Granted, they're slightly less reliant on their star strikers than we are, but not a great deal less.

The question is, if we do sell Lukaku, are we able to attract and secure a replacement capable of filling the gap?

 

[kithnou]

Has this been shown anywhere on GOT?

I've been waiting longer than him for trophies and CL so he can just wait his turn!
