Romelu Lukaku

[BoysInBlue]

Why would he go to Man Utd when he's bleating about wanting CL football?

They won't finish in the top 4. Plus he'd (likely) be playing under a manager that doesn't rate him, made him a scapegoat and already sold him once in Mourinho.

 

[Mrk]

I'm struggling to blame him for feeling that way - he knows we're going nowhere under Martinez.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Best case scenario I think is that Martinez goes at the end of the season and he's persuaded to stay for at least one more year.

 

[Brennan]

And you have blerts saying that finishing 13th vs 6th is irrelevant.

Not to top players it isn't. Psychologically being close to the top 4 is a hell of a lot different to being a million miles away.

This team is going to be destroyed.

Very much this and let's be honest Rom leaving will be the nail in the coffin for martinez. He'll be well and truly screwed without his 20+ goals think Rodgers without Suarez but on a much worse 14th+ place scale.

Oh look.

He wants to leave.

Who'd have thought it?

Don't worry though I'm sure we can offer him £100,000 per week and that'll keep him here like most people are suggesting.

 

[LocalNative]

The club and manager have let him down. Not surprised he wants to go, playing for a club battling for mid table supremacy.

His body language the last few months have suggested that he isn't completely happy here.

genuinely worried about a relegation scrap if Lukaku leaves and martinez stays in charge

We'll see how that turns out. If he does go he'll go when Everton's valuation is met and not before.

Martinez brought Lukaku here and we got three seasons out of him, which is pretty much all a club out of the CL could expect. When or if he goes Roberto will bring in the next goal machine.

 

[Jxg]

Sack El Fraudo or lose him. There is no other way.

No, we lose him either way.

If he stays it will be two years before he can play in a European club competition, let alone the Champions League. We have to qualify first.

The damage has already been done by our pathetic performance this season.

 

[Toffeemeister]

If we finish in the bottom half two seasons in a row then you simply can't blame him.

I also think Martinez can have no complaints if he is sacked.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Imagine where we'd be without his goals this season, frightening.

Orrrrrrrrrr he has a release clause which is about £40m.
