If memory serves me correctly, Rom suggested he had a preferred destination but wouldn't say who or where.
To me, that was degree of carrot dangling, hoping to generate some or wider interest.

His lunatic, desperate for a handout from a rich son, father was the one who said it would likely be done before the Euros.

On the evidence purely of tonight, he'll be an Everton player next season, something I've said all along since this crazy transfer talk began.

Well I'm glad you kept the faith. It will be much easier to reload for next season without having to find another focal point up top.

Seems like most on here are rather pleased that Rom had a poor game tonight.

And I agree that he was far, far from what we know he is capable of.

But so were most of the Belgium team and Italy are the masters of defence.

I'm not suggesting that this exempts Rom from working harder and 'putting himself about a bit' and in general working harder to improve his all-round game, especially his first touch.

He spouted off and so has his father and maybe he is angling for a move because in similar fashion to that which Rooney acted, he feels he needs to play at a higher level than Everton have achieved in the past two seasons.

I've been as annoyed as everyone else with some of the lack-lustre performances in the latter stages of the season for us, but he wasn't on his own in that respect.

So while we wait confirmation of the new manager and then await how he perceives the nature of the Everton squad and exactly where he thinks it needs strengthening to achieve the style of play he wants, and hopefully massively improved results and level of performance... as far as Rom is concerned, I'm prepared to cut him a little, not a lot, a little bit of slack in the hope that he does get his head down and work on his game in all areas, and comes out firing on all cylinders come the start of the new season.

Do you expect people to think otherwise given what he's been saying?

Belgium lose the next one they are on the way home, the mighty Lukuku returns as a failure, he wants champions league the euros are on par and he's hardly setting the world alight.

If I am honest with you Andy, I can overlook the lacklustre performances as the whole team was infected with the ennui that became the hallmark of the requiem for Roberto's dream.

What annoys me is the constant bigging himself up at the expense of our club.

I actually take it quite personally when he speaks of us in such a disparaging way.....like he is too good a player to be playing for the likes of Everton.

I know you would take it exactly the same way.

It hurts me and I feel humiliated by it.

And this is why I found myself in the unprecedented position of delighting in the spectacle of an Everton player flopping in an international game.

Normally I am pumping the air when the likes of Landon Donovan or The Yak or Timmy Cahill score for their countries in World Cups.

It is quite clear Lukaku is not too good for Everton.

And I agree with you....if he just shuts the heck up, comes back after his holidays and puts his head down I, like practically everyone else, will forgive him and wish him well as he spearheads the attack at the beginning of our new era come August :)

Lukaku is not half as good as he thinks he is......he needs brought back to earth and hopefully tonight was a reality check for him ;)

Not sure that it is - if anything I am sure he is well aware that he doesn't appear at his best in a team that has no width and not a lot of pace going forward.
 
I gonna go ahead and play the "He's still young" card.
And those were some of the best defenders around, but he should have got that 1-on-1 shot on target though, that was a bad miss.
