Romelu Lukaku

I'll be honest I've simply got to the point that I'm not that arsed of he stays or goes. Slots when he's bang on it and he's been a great signing.

He's looked absolutely dreadful in loads of games the past 3 years but all you have to do is look at that first goal against Chelsea and think "ffs that is an absolute pearler"

Moments like that he's worth 65m. Most of the time he looks like a 35m player so I would say somewhere in between is his valuation.

He can jog on too if he doesn't want to play for us.On form he's unplayable but too often he's not arsed and is an arrogant moaner who bleats about CL and trophys but he could have banged us into a final and missed about four clear cut chances.

Conveniently leaving out who got us to that semi final.

Does the re-signing of Gibson get you all excited then mate?

confirmation of him signing a contract extension has turned my peach knickers apricot at the crotch mate *picks up gun and points at own head*

Not a chance in hell are we getting £65 million for him.

£50 million, at the most.

Think about this.

We paid 28mill for someone we knew would score PL goals.

United have just paid 30mill for an inexperienced defender.

I'm repeating myself here; but I want people to imagine what it must have been like training under the phenomenally inept R Martinez for THREE years.
No wonder the lad talks Johnny Depp-like wham...and wants out.
Martinez drove me bananas 18 months go!
I hope he stays and Koeman lends him proper direction...like a proper manager should

If he does go, I wouldn't mind S'ton's Pelle to come with Koeman, but he's soon to be 31 so he'd have to be cheap.

And just as I looked up his age on Google, the Echo has us linked with him: http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spor...verton-transfer-rumours-koeman-looks-11453361

That would be truly awful.

He CAN'T be as bad as Kone or Niasse surely?. But £9 million isn't cheap --- even in these days of profligacy.

As much as I want to keep him (and I do, believe me), I can't help think that the moment he switched agents, he was gone. This agent of his was someone Alex Ferguson detested - that' saying something for me.

I'll be agog if he's still here come September, I'm not sure anything will retain him.

He's gonna be one of those players who always switches clubs, and it's a shame because he could be a proper legend here if he stays at this moment in time. That's football agents though.....
