Romelu Lukaku

Correct. But these articles have him making quotes which is painful.
I think he will stay, unless a giant like Bayern or Real Madrid come in with a 60m bid.

True, but regarding the quotes, he's not explicitly said he wants to leave for CL footy.

Correct. As I said, barring a huge big from a giant, I think Mr Moshiri can convince him to stay.

"I'm 23 this summer... and I've never had a taste of the Champions League"

I know EXACTLY how he feels. I'm 37 this Autumn and have never had a taste of anything above the level of Lowestoft & District Sunday League Two

I agree that the media refuse to accept that EFC deserve top players but that is because we are
not a top team.

I reckon that the best we can hope for is one more year of Lukaku. In the interview in today's Guardian Lukaku
says clearly that the team has underperformed over the last two years. And that is because RM did not seize the opportunity and fix the problems. The biggest one was Howard. Why was he allowed to continue flapping 18 months after he had clearly declined? Then, in no particular order: poor dead ball delivery, poor match tactics, poor substitutions,
a failure to win-at-all costs mentality.

The last two seasons in the League, despite all the good footie and excitement, have been a great chance spurned.

He's probably going to win the golden boot yet we're 12th. We have no right to ask him for another year. Hopefully by winning the FA Cup he'll find it in himself to give us at least another year. If we don't then he'd be a fool to stay. That's the sad reality.

Of course we do, he signed a 5 year contract.

Sell him...

 

[Tramps_mate]

Don't sell him..

If you flounder around mid table with world class players then they're off, it's simple really, this is the Martinez effect in all of its glory.

 

[Jags..class]

We won't be selling him unless clubs offer massive money, I say no less then 60 million

 

[rochdaleblue]

It pains me to say it. As much as I'd love to consider an fa cup win or the new takeover would entice rom to give it another season, I'm convinced his agent will have other ideas.

They used to try to sell our best players when we finished in the top 5/6 for multiple years in a row under Moyes.

It's because we aren't favoured. Then, it was because we weren't seen as 'rich'. Now, it's because we're likely to finish outside the top 10.

Can anyone blame him really?

11th last season and we're sitting in 12th now, currently on the same points as Bournemouth.

I just hope and pray that a potential FA cup and new owner will alter the perception in the media 'of plucky little everton' in the media. However I doubt it.
