Romelu Lukaku

Who would people we sooner had playing up front for us? Serious question.

A striker with his goal rate is a rarity. If he could do all of the other things he's getting slated for, he would still be at Chelsea or playing for a Bayern or Madrid.

Messi. Serious answer

You're wavering here, leaning on the ropes now.

Haven't broken a sweat. Lukaku packs a heavy punch with his strike rate, but his hold up-play is a chin of the most brittle glass.

Time to become an Everton legend Rom.

I like the way he is growing and maturing, comfortable in front of the TV camera too .. I believe that his enthusiasm and belief in himself & the team is genuine, just wish he'd save some of his opinions / aspirations until we've actually achieved something i.e. win a cup / league / late stages of a European competition .. because if we don't or it all falls apart he'll end up looking like a gob'hite & I would hate for that to happen.

Bit more savvy / restricted re: the press please .. remember they have their own agenda.

Ffs, sign him up Bobby!

I did mean players we could realistically sign though.
Who would you prefer?

We need a striker who runs through brick walls for us and up and down dem channels all game. Then we'll complain that all he does is run the channels and doesn't wait in the box for tap ins.

we do need that striker, only you play him with lukaku so there's no need to complain

Everton's Romelu Lukaku is one of several Belgian players to have done a hefty interview with Belgian magazine Le Vif. The Everton player has got into the swing of things this season and is helping Roberto Martinez drag the Toffees up the table. However, Lukaku has never made any secret of his desire to play Champions League football quickly. Even the most ardent Everton fans would concede that's going to be hard for the club to achieve soon, and so Lukaku will often be linked with an exit, especially given that it's something he's encouraged himself.

Lukaku was asked by Le Vif which managers he'd want to work with. The Everton player replied "Mourinho is one.Guardiola and Wenger. In this order." It may come as a surprise to some that Lukaku chose Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho as his first pick, given the supposed fall-out between the two whilst the striker was with the London club. Wanting to play for Pep Guardiola is no surprise, and the Arsene Wenger comment could raise a few eyebrows. Arsenal could certainly do with a striker of Lukaku's class and the Belgian may be providing a hint to Wenger, perhaps without even intending to.

Everton would be incredibly difficult to deal with. The Merseyside club are excellent at keeping their players, as they have proven with Leighton Baines and John Stones. Everton will not be bullied, Karim Benzema may even be easier, and cheaper, to get.

If he plays in 35 League games this year I Fully expect him to get 20+ goals.

More likely is that Rooney wants in!

Is there a rule against playing music at a ground during a match because I want Clique by Kanye West to come on every time Romelu gets the ball on Sunday.

He can't be that bad... looks like he could break a Dixie Dean record by the end of the year.

Also this:

"On Monday night, Romelu Lukaku scored his 100th first-team club goal aged 22 yrs, 139 days. Messi - 22 yrs, 219 days. Rooney - 22 yrs, 361 days."

He is a 5 out of 10 rating kind of player. The odd occasional game he will rise to an 8 but that's once every month, or once every 5 games (give or take a game).

His new nickname should be Full Moon as we see that once a month.
