Player Valuation: £70m
Because he scores bags of goals and just turned 23. Also what marquee striker are you splashing out on?
He kept us up last season like it or not in the latter half of the season it was relegation form - Lukakus early goals kept us out of trouble
The thing is let him be in the new Koeman revolution, his value will only go up!
If he didnt play for us the whole forum would be demanding we bought him for 70m.
Yes we have seen his "bad" points, but the lad scores goals, if we can keep him and keep him motivated and build the god damn team around the way HE wants to play, he is more than a marquee signing.

My thoughts exactly.
His agent/brother/dad/him have acted like tools, but that was before they all realised the enormity of what is actually going here, while they have been elsewhere.
A few glances on GOT would have saved them all a lot of Pay as You Go minutes.
Look ive no issue with the lad wanting to leave, he clearly should have kept his trap firmly shut, but we finished 11th, twice and he scored a shedload, yeah he phoned it in the last few weeks of the season but he put it in when it mattered, the Chelsea game and nobody could accuse him of not trying at Wembley he had a stinker, but he tried.
I recall @Tubey saying earlier on, something like "I bet he stays and everybody forgives him", at that time I wanted him gone, but I guess for once Tubes called something right with Lukaku, if he stays, I would be over the moon.
Looking forward to Koeman buying him a partner who will do his running.
Anyone got Shane Long's number?

ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
We buy a number 8 who sits behind him and unlocks the doors.
Hes a number 10 mein frandel, but he will do just fine.
I just want him and Roscoe supplying Roomelu MG. Play one of them at centre back if need be.
The best way back for him at this stage is to shut his mouth and just get on with playing for Everton.
I wouldn't give him a new contract, as he doesn't deserve rewarding. He should get on with doing a good job this upcoming season first and discuss a new contract this time next year.
As it stands, we hold all the cards. I think there's a good chance he'll leave, but as you say, if he stays, people will try and pretend he's a "total pro" and all the rest of it.
He's not. What he is is a talented, braindead mercenary. If he's an asset, so be it, but I'd hold fire on idolising him like he "gets" Everton or whatever. He doesn't.

Agreed with all of this. I think Stones is the one we'd be prepared to drop the asking price for to secure the move, and so be it - he was professional after last summer. Ideally I'd want him to stay, but won't begrudge a move.
Lukaku is a different story as he tried to back us into a corner and get the fans riled up into demanding he goes on the cheap, giving "plucky little Everton" the easy out for £40m ish.
Backfired spectacularly.
