Him and Barkley leaving this summer will put to bed any talk of Moshiri being the real deal

What if they were sold but replacements were Isco and Lacazette? Just asking hypothetically.

If the definition of getting us is never leaving then im not sure who 'gets us'. I've never really understood the 'they dont get us' term.

I mean what exactly is there to get ? and if you get it does that automatically mean you want to stay for life and never leave ?

I think what the OP was referring to was the fact that ever since lukaku signed his 5 year contract, he's talked up wanting to play champions league football and joining a big club. Some may have seen that as ambitious, others would suggest he's being disrespectful to Everton football club and its supporters.

Not really, he can't make them sign, Barkley clearly has issues in the area outside of football and Lukaku has always had big ideas.

Right. How this has anything to do with Moshiri is beyond me

If we signed them and kept Lukaku and Barkley then we would be in business !

Young lad in being ambitious shocker.

Wind your necks in and enjoy the remaining games.

This, its not like he has thrown his hand in to force a move, he is still scoring and has not once put us in a false sense of security thinking he will stay, or bad mouthed Everton as a club, he has been totally open about not signing, we know where we stand. Now it is up to us to decide what we do and how we move on without him.

If he didnt have that ambition we wouldnt of got him in the first place, but he decided Chelsea's bench wasn't good enough for him and we have got the benefit from it.

Well said! He has done great for us while he has been here, but now he wants to move on its time to crucify him? Grow up! He has given us more notice than the last ten to leave us put together and we will make a ton of cash on him, i really dont see where he is being the bad guy?

I`m not sure if it`s been said - it probably has and I apologise in advance if it has - Last time we had a prolific goalscorer we did not win the league - Lineker left and we did win it the following season - I am a glass half full person. I would also love Rom to stay, but if he doesn't, it`s not that bad!

I dont want him to leave but christ, people are ready to close the turnstiles at Goodison and pack in football if he does.

There always has and there always will be goalscorers in football. If he goes, we need to find the next Lukaku, Aubameyang, Suarez, Dybala, Aguero, Costa etc. Throwing £60mill at a high profile player doesnt guarantee success, we need to find the right players.

Rom is the best Premier League striker there is.

He was never going to stay with a perpetually midtable club like us for his whole career. We haven't even finished in the top half since 2014.
