Romelu Lukaku

[roydo]

How do we have the power though?

We want 80m, Nobody pays it, Then what? Do we let him get down to 12 months on his contract

That is the horrible conundrum we appear to be in mate.

But that said, we were in the exact same conundrum at 5 to 5 as well.

 

[Khalekan]

I knew things were going too well lately. We were bound to get a slap like this at some point.

It is always the way, innit.

And a visit to The Pit in a couple of weeks just to totally bring us back down to earth

He goes in the summer under our say so, and not of an absolute shark that his agent is. That's why he doesn't want £90m release clause, nobody is going to pay it and he knows it. He's got 2 years left, there'll be a bidding war in the summer

 

[Ernie]

We could get 100m for him but we won't get a replacement anywhere near his quality

Look at the RS when Suarez left, They had CL football and couldn't attract quality

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Where has it said that he's going? It is possible he's waiting to see if we're serious about signing top players in the summer to back him up, he stayed last summer based on this new "project", can't see him thinking that was a one season job

Love ur positive outlook lad. But no he wants out and prob knew last summer he would force club to sell this summer. The talk re signing now has proven to be gamemanship by lukaku and his agent.

Great player and will be a huge loss and in a club in a position like ours he is irreplaceable.
This is a big big setback to the hope we had for the next couple years.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I'm going to boo him at FF tomorrow. And I've been absolutely dying to boo us now for ages

 

[IllinoisBlue]

It will be disappointing if he leaves but not unexpected. I don't see why people want to bench him, he has a contact to play, he is not trying to get out of it, he just doesn't want to renew it. If we'd not had 3 years of stagnation with Martinez perhaps we would have been in UCL contention now.

 

[mutley]

what we need is 2 or 3 clubs to come to in for him.

And sell him to the 3 of them, we'll be loaded.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Guys. Maybe I missed something but...
Nothing has happened since that interview where he was cracking up the whole time laughing and just saying no?
Isn't it just a slow news day so everybody jumped on it to get some extra 'clicks'?

 

[Ernie]

He goes in the summer under our say so, and not if an absolute shark that his agent is. That's why he doesn't want £90m release clause, nobody is going to pay it and he knows it. He's got 2 years left, there'll be a bidding war in the summer

Nobody is bidding over 60m for the lad

 

[arminisgod]

NEA. He's the best striker we've had since Lineker. What happened the season we sold Lineker? What happened the season we sold Rooney?

He needs to score more Than Tony Cottee to be classed as that

 

[gonetomorrow]

The most important person at Everton now is the manager,

he is going to have maybe over 100m to spend in the summer, let's hope he spends it well, he holds our future in his hands.

Keep Koeman at all costs.

I knew Rom wouldn't sign. They were taking too long over it.

 

[Brownie]

Its on the BBC Browns.

And? It's all negotiations bro.

 

[Jags..class]

Seems he wants out so well him in the summer, we have no other option

 

[usaefc]

How's Goodison gonna be towards him now?
