Romelu Lukaku

[helpimonfire]

I texted Rom earlier and asked him what footy shirt he fancies wearing for his hols this summer. He said he already has a shirt.

He is staying dudes.

Genuinely do not give a flying about profit when you have a player of this calibre. Do you think the redshoite were buzzing they got £60 million for suarez who was a few years older than romalu . You know they'd of been happy with one more season and 30 million instead.
It's about the football for me and with a world cup coming up lukaku can't really afford to take his pedal of the gas, I'd tell him your staying if I was Koeman, the kid can still get better and that's a scary thought.

Bolasies comments don't exactly fill you with hope, not that i had any to begin with

Nothing story

I'm sticking with this...

He isn't signing anything. "In the next few weeks" is being used by Romelu and Everton not to derail the season, as last week's drama could have. Conveniently, that takes us to the end of the season when I am sure he will ask to go to the team that is tapping him up, or hands in a transfer request.
Correct move for all concerned in the matter I guess is this "in the next few weeks" stuff.

Rumours about today that Chelsea want him if/when Costa goes. If that's true, I wouldn't begrudge him going back to Chelsea. He wanted to play there, they play a style that should suit a big frontman, he could be the new Drogba. They sold him, he didn't want to leave. However, if they do go for him, we need BIG MONEY (puts on Max Bygraves voice)

If we sell to them we are spineless. I'd be prepared to lose some of the transfer fee and send him overseas in 2018.
No sale this Summer.

If Bolasie is saying it then it has legs; bezzies them two

Best we can hope for is a 1 year extension to his contract with a 70 million buyout so Chelsea can nab him NEXT summer.

That's the best case scenario.

He's gone. Or, he's signing a deal that will ensure he'll be gone soon enough.

Let's just say he's gone.

To be honest, he's piled that much pressure on himself that if he stayed next season and he or we didn't do better than this season knives would be out (and personally I think both those scenarios will be hot favourite) and his stock wont be as high as it is this summer. His leaving this summer is the only outcome that makes sense to me.

What annoys me most isn’t that Rom wants to move on. He’s one of the best strikers in Europe and wants to play CL, I don’t think anyone can begrudge him that and he’s earned it - what I don’t like is that he (and his agent) have ensured he’s the main talking point between now and the end of the season – not Everton but him. What ever we achieve from now till then will be down to him and for me that’s incredibly disrespectful to the rest of the team and the manager.

you're right there. The deby will be interesting, he's hasn't really made an impact in one since his first and a lackluster performance in one of the biggest games of our season - with all the coverage it gets, after all his talk of ambition etc will say more about him and his desire and how he handles that pressure than scoring 2 against Hull. He has 2 or 3 games coming up where he can really prove his quality and maybe justify his recent comments.

Why are we spineless if we sell for £70mil? Which is what we will be demanding.

Boss striker but if he wants to go then sod him.

On our terms though obviously.
