Romelu Lukaku

Just thought I'd take a moment to say what a player. There were scenes on here when we signed him, and there are still scenes now!!!

Staggering. Absolutely staggering.

Imagine if the internet were around in the 1920s. Someone would have been on there going "That perishin' Dixie Dean's only scored 60. Lazy bugger let me down on my bet he'd score 70. We should get rid of him and get that Albert Bertwistle from Accrington instead...or Nobby Hardcastle from Bradford Park Avenue. That'll teach the lazy bugger, 'an no mistake cor blimey".

Was Everton a very popular team in london back in the 1920's Dave from the vocabulary you used?

It would be nice if we vaulted the posts that were spot on, during all the hate......

I have been watching the blues since 1959, and have seen some great strikers.
Young, Vernon, Pickering, Latchford, Royle, Sharp, Gray and Lineker. Big Rom is great now and could end up world class, the best in the prem by far remember the lad is 22yrs old..

We're apparently not allowed to enjoy it, it's vaulting hour.

Ooh zing zing zing mate, look at all those times I was wrong on an Internet forum. Must have taken you a while to put this together. Then again I suppose you were stewing when you got yourself banned for two days (or was that me?). Either way swings and roundabouts after some terrible grassing by you. Vault away mate, loads more than that in there to find, I absolutely lose it most matchday threads so you're best looking in there. I'm sure I've said Ronaldo is a poor man's Drenthe at some point.

Come on, you weren't just wrong. You were so spectacularly wrong. You were like a one man pre-General Election opinion poll.

Ah. I wondered why you was twitching nervously on this thread and liking @RFUS posts.

Let's take a look:

Lazy? ZING.

Only scores 2 types of goals and is not a joy to watch? ZING

If anyone could not see what an ace footballer Lukaku was going to turn into after playing for us then they need to go to footie opinion school.

Find a bin and throw yourself in it.

Oh SD... What have you done?!

You deserve everything you get for this...

Less of the back quotes lads its not big and most certainly not clever, he was average at best last season and was tripping over his own feet and shins, this season he has improved and pushed on fair play to him.

I've praised Lukaku to the hilt loads in all three seasons. I don't take back any of that though, he was poor last year.

You don't take back that you think Yakubu was better or that Lukaku will only score more over his career because he'll stay fit?

Yakubu was better than Lukaku last season. Obviously he's not this season. I think Yakubu scored a greater variety of goals and had more subtlety to his game but he couldn't match Lukaku's numbers so it's a null point if Lukaku maintains his current form.

What about this from August mate?

Get rid of him while we can still get a decent price I say, i said after his loan he does not fit into our system and didn't want him and it looks to be the case.

People might not like it but the only way it's going to work is if he or Martinez leaves because the two styles are contradictory and it makes me doubt Martinez as a tactitian for signing him in the first place.
