Romelu Lukaku

[Khalekan]

One of the things I am most loving about Rom-mania is that at last the under thirties have their very own icon.

He is to the young people what Big Bob was to the 70s boys, the Golden Vision was in the Swinging Sixties and Dave Hickson was to the Boys Pen era fans. Or Big Dunc to lids coming of age in the mid 90s.

Good on ya, Rom......you Everton legend, you

Just one thing I want him to do......take possession of the No. 9 shirt next season.

Mate this is the slippery slope to Kopitery, the MO for those defending splurging £35m on Donkey Andy.

£28m is the quoted price, we paid £28m, or will pay £28m, it is getting paid.

The fact that he is now worth double it shows how good a buy it was.

Worth nearly four times that price if we want to sell him we should break the bank to keep him who is out there better than him?????

£112m? Not sure about that lol

£60m player though comfortably.

If bale went for 100 million and big teeth the potential of Lukarku? Go and by me another player like him with 60 million!???

Nah, Lukaku is fantastic but that money was paid for the finished product.

For now, both of those named are vastly better all-round players - and I'm an unrelenting Lukaku fan

Problem is even if we sell him for 60-100 m. Who can we buy who is as good as he is? Only way we win is if his replacement is a world top 5 striker - and with his fee and new owners cash and TV money we should have the money for a top 5. But....

I fear we will do a Liverpool and sell him for 80- 100 m and buy 4-5 'decent' players across the squad who turn out mediocre. .

 

[bluerobert]

I understand your point, however Sterling's valuation isn't a fair comparison as he's English and was inflated by the whole wrangling over the deal.

Arguably he should be worth much more, unfortunately I just don't think it will work out like that if he is ever sold when you look at other deals.

Although of course I'd love to be proven wrong!

Rom counts as homegrown though mate so he has all the benefits of an English player to a squad and numbers needed and what not

Lukaku is hot potential so you do not sell him cheap ask Chelski fans!

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Only thing I've ever doubted about this young man was the ability of a certain section of Evertonians to be patient with him. From the knockout header at West Ham to shouldering Vidic to the turf like a bey'otch to yesterday, it's all part of the journey. Get on the pain train...it's going places.

The scary thing is he's only 22! Got everything in his locker to go on and be world class, strong,pace, can score with both feet, good in the air.

Especially his improvement in his hold up play compared to last season is staggering.

 

[royalblue66]

Always remember how he swatted Carragher away,when scoring for West Brom.

 

[DRM]

And De Bruyne.

Both him and Rom are better than anyone in their current team. They have no patience to develop a player. Bought some of the finest youngsters around and then benched them/sold them.

Imagine if we had also bought De Bruyne!!!

 

[DRM]

I had a gander on Chelski forums yesterday, they are gutted Mourinho sold him, all slating Jose for selling him, loads comparing him to Drogba.

But also stating that we were a dirty team and that we were targetting Costa the whole game long.

I made a Lukaku Excuse Bingo Card for this thread in my head before the season started. One game in and I'm nearly ready to call full house.

What about now mate?
