Romelu Lukaku

[ultra]

To the folks believing an unknown Italian journo claiming Lukaku to Chelsea is done for £65m it is worth remembering that Paul Joyce, one of the few competent football journalists with strong EFC connections despite being a Kopite, says we turned down £70m for him from them last summer...

Is Paul Joyce a kopite?

£65M no way


BS.

'We achieved great things'. Struggling to remember what those things were. Is he really talking about 5th place as great?

That season was the most enjoyable league campaign in our premier league history imo, so in truth it was pretty great by our low standards over the past couple decades.

If you compare him to a striker like Drogba, he had all the fight and workrate that Lukaku lacks as well as the skill. I think that's why Lukaku gets stick because Drogba would often win Chelsea games when they were playing poorly, Lukaku just goes missing.

Okay, let's compare him to a striker like Drogba.

At 23 Drogba was playing lower league football in France and had 12 career goals.

At 23 Lukaku is playing in the premier league with 141 career goals.

No he isn't as good at the moment as Drogba was in his prime, but what an unfair comparison that is!

This isn't just aimed at you - But some Evertonians need to wake up to what an amazing talent we have on our hands here.

I get your point but fight and workrate isn't about age, it's about attitude.

You think he's suddenly going to hit 26 and start competing for balls or pressing really hard?

I think he's an amazing talent too but he really lets himself down in some areas.

And DCL isn't 'that' physical. He's like Bambi.

I agree.

Valencia should have been on in that situation (Tuesday).

That being said I think DCL has offered support to Lukaku in our home games vs WBA and Hull. Teams that we should - and have - been beating comfortably.

Lookman is a bit of an in between player. Not quite a winger, not quite a striker, but there's no rush on forcing him into the side.

Arsed now, bye rom.

Is Paul Joyce a kopite?

Doesn't matter if he is or isn't, he's extremely accurate.

We sold Lineker everybody though it'd be a disaster,we sold Rooney...same.We sold Stones,we have a better defence....

Well currently at this moment we have a very torn apart defense but I get what you are saying... I am just hoping for a busy summer, and if Rom leaves a REALLLY busy summer
