Romelu Lukaku

If you're in a title fight you want Lukaku in your team, if you're in a relegation battle you might as well play a beach ball up front. He's completely given up the ghost, and doesn't seem to possess the attitude that I and many others value in an Everton player.
 
Was awful in the Cup semi because he's been phoning in his performances for weeks. Form isn't like a tap that you can turn on and off, you need to stay sharp.
For this reason, he'll be awful in the Euro's.
 

He was a machine before the international break. Then he got his ear bent.

It indicates his lack of professionalism. As said, when he's in this mood, he offers nothing. Goals used to disguise this poor performance, but he hasn't had that, so it's exposed him totally.

He's a monster of a footballer - when he wants to be. That's why he'll never be a truly elite level footballer - he lacks the technique to be one for a start, but he also lacks the attitude. If it were Suarez, he'd be busting a gut and hurting at how things are, while Rom isn't arsed. That's the difference between a world class footballer and one who is just very good.

That said, he stays unless we get the right offer. His tactics of downing tools to reduce a fee can't be tolerated. Billionaire owner now, we don't need the money.

You actually don't want Lukaku in a possession based top side. He's an off the shoulder striker who excels in teams who play fluid, quick football.

He'd have scored 40 this season for Leicester. Problem is, not many top sides play like that, so it limits the clubs who will be interested in him - Barcelona won't touch him, for example.

He's looking at second tier clubs like PSG, and that's about as good as he can do really.

What if you're in a semi-final?

Hope we get a good fee for him, and buy a player who looks like he isn't doing the club a favour by playing for them when it suits him

He tried his beefy heart out in the semi. Very unfair on Rom this. He's played so many minutes for us, mostly as a lone striker, under an incompetent manager and with disinterested team-mates. Still he's bagged 25 goals this season. Better than Yak, even better than Cottee. Rom's our best striker since Lineker 30 years ago, who also didn't do much else but score.

He's not the scapegoat we're looking for.
 

Carragher didn't think much.

Never been a huge fan. Scores goals but his touch and link up is beyond [Poor language removed]
 
Everton as a whole have got me this last couple of months that I was actually delighted he didn't score with his shot against the bar.

It would have masked an awful display in which he couldn't be bothered. He's been like this for weeks now.
