We can't replace him with similar quality at this point, as our stock isn't high enough to attract a striker of equal standing.
We don't need to sell, we don't want to sell, therefore we won't sell.
No idea who's feeding this and why - given that Costa is seemingly going nowhere, as Atletico have now bought Gameiro.
People aren't looking at the full picture. It's not as simple as ship Rom and Stones out and spend 100m on new, better players.
Players will already be edgy about joining us, we're not a force (yet) we can't offer Europe. The last thing we want when trying to encourage good players is losing some of our stars. It doesn't send out the right message.
"Come join us, we have Kone as our only striker"
only fear is he will run his contract down whilst not being arsed to perform and we will get a smaller fee or nothing,, he doesnt seem to be happy playing for us,,,
We know he is not worth £70m, that's not the point, Everton have put a daft price on his head in order to seriously deter all clubs from bidding for him. It is clear Everton want to keep him.
Agree under normal circumstances, but In Koeman & Walsh we've got a guy who had to rebuild his Southmpton team & one who seems to know where the gems are hidden.
It's on them to do the business.
I think we do want to keep him and if the Esk is right there's been no bid from Milwall, so presumably all the chatter is designed to get him to hand in a transfer request. If he wants to go I would take the money, he's been whinging every close season and at some point the spirit in the squad has to take preference. I don't think for one minute that his presence or absence will have any impact on our ability to sign quality players, it's the EPL, money talks and for the first time in a long time, we have a few quid.
At last someone talking sense! I would take 35-40m and frog March him out of the club, he's not even that great tbhI think we do want to keep him and if the Esk is right there's been no bid from Milwall, so presumably all the chatter is designed to get him to hand in a transfer request.

the professional player in Lukaku is, imo, greater than his 'cut your nose off to spite your face' petulance. Look at Suarez with Liverpool.only fear is he will run his contract down whilst not being arsed to perform and we will get a smaller fee or nothing,, he doesnt seem to be happy playing for us,,,
Indeed. People who are suggesting we could replace Rom with anything near a similar quality is being overwhelmed by Evertonian sentiment.We can't replace him with similar quality at this point, as our stock isn't high enough to attract a striker of equal standing.
We don't need to sell, we don't want to sell, therefore we won't sell.
In a market that's seen a bid of £28m rejected for Troy Deeney.....Indeed. People who are suggesting we could replace Rom with anything near a similar quality is being overwhelmed by Evertonian sentiment.
