Graeme Sharp says hello
He's a rubber-shinned snake who struggles with basic footballing technique. Great at scoring the 4th goal in a 4-0 drubbing, but can't impose himself on a game and influence it like the great strikers he wants to be compared to.

He’d be lucky to score 5 a season in the modern game the goal hanging Wirral rat.

Doesn't make sense. Offside laws were a lot more severe then than they are now.
I hope he has a long and successful career, just not at Everton's expense.
Peter Beardsley, Graeme sharp, Rooney first time round, Joe Royle, lineker, andy gray, alex young, many more..... go back as far as Dixie Dean if you want.
He's over rated... flat track bully with the worst touch a d the weakest "big fella" I've seen.

He's the best goalscorer we've had since Lineker, that's for sure.

Given the popularity of statistical analysis in sports, you'd think the question is Lukaku a flat track bully? would have a definitive answer. Sounds like a trivially easy statement to address in comparison with more complex questions.
Going on the evidence of my eyeballs, UTD paying 70 mill for him, and the fact that there is no sustained pattern of him scoring 'worthless goals' that I've ever seen, I'd safely say the answer is no. But if any Lukaku-basher wants to stick up a few graphs, maybe a pie chart, then it seems an easy question to resolve in their favour.

Can you make it a steak & kidney pie chart please?

His 'bad' first touch is so exaggerated it is painful.
He lost the ball with his first touch less than every other striker in the 'top clubs' in his final season with us.
His build up play has always been improving and he actually picks up assists, let alone how many players are needed to mark him in a game - producing other opportunities for players.

I thought the whole point of the claim that Everton would have still finished seventh without him last season was that his goals were often 'worthless', as you put it.
His stats will always be fine, by and large. The issue is his level of performance in difficult games, such as at Anfield, Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford last season, where I've never seen a player so deathly afraid of an opponent as he was of Lovren, Rojo and Luiz. Leave a foot in early doors and he doesn't want to know, because he's a massive fart.
All that aside, I just generally don't like players that look awkward and unnatural in possession; and so I've reached a point where if people genuinely feel as though they're watching a world class footballer in action, I say good luck to them.

His 'pointless' goals killed off teams rendering them with an extremely small chance of making comebacks.
No goal is worthless.
