Agree on this, everyone wants a striker right now, the leading scorer chart hasn't got may top names in it at all, seeing Stoke, Sunderland and Watford in the top 10 and United and Liverpool not in at all, the league is thin on the ground for strikers.

To date he has scored 17 PL goals. There are some matches left to play so any bets on what his final tally will be?

I reckon he could get around 22/23 for the League come the end of the season

I think if he stays fit he can get 25 easy, lets just enjoy them as he will not be here next season..

We don't need to sell now. I'd be surprised if we don't attempt to double his contract.

I was sure Stones was going, about 75% on Lukaku. But after this investment, whilst Stones may still go, Lukaku is now unlikely IMO.

I hope so . but

Squawka compare Rom's club career golas of 116 goals to other top strikers at the same age - very few better

I say with rom do what we did with stones, block him moving we are in a stronger position financially than we were last summer also he's under contract, the balls in our court. He's still young why not stick around to see what we can become in a year or so, the future looks bright now.I can't understand why players can't just be patient and see what happens especially when they are young.

I think that is exactly what we will do, he is just going to have to deal with it and hope we can get up to the level he wants to be playing at.

He may very well be. Absolutely no guarantee he's going anywhere this summer

We are in a win win situation, if we let stones and rom go (being our choice not theirs as they are under contract and we don't really need the money) we would be looking at around 100 million, if we play hard ball and reject their decision if they want to go,we have 2 great players for next season, and a good chance more qualities players to add to our all ready very good squad, the futures bright the futures (hopefully) Everton where they should be challenging at the top.

Lukaku will stay and his agent will look stupid for suggesting he would not have let him come to us had he been his agent at the time. Even if he leaves, he may win nothing in the next two or so seasons dependant on where he goes. Lukaku will know he is best off staying at the perfect club for him. Only one team can win the champions league, no point joining Leicester for example if he won't increase his status. I do feel though we need statement signings and a massive ruthless increase in quality competition for places. It is all possible now! The only club I could see him leaving us for is Real Madrid. But how likely is that?
