Yeah I think so. Tosun has a better touch, far better footballing brain, can link up with forwards, doesn’t just demand it on a platter and berate his teammates if it isn’t exactly where he wanted it. Also due to the type of player he is he’s liklely to have a far longer career.

Tosun is still underrated, by the end of the season most will be on board.

I agree about Tosun, He's so technically gifted but to say you wouldn't swap him with Lukaku is crazy talk imo, The lad is a goal scorer and would turn us into top 4 potential easily if we solve our defence out. I rate Tosun highly I think he's a very clever intelligent footballer who can slot any day of the week but I'd swap him with Lukaku any day.

Welcome to the Lukaku thread.

It’s similar to the situation at the pit. Sturridge is a much better goal scorer and centre forward than firmino but nobody with a brain would play Sturridge ahead of firmino.

Indeed.

Lukaku scores but it doesn't matter, because his level of ineffectiveness means that you can't attack cohesively and consistently, so you're far more likely to lose 2-1 than you would be if you had a player that gets you up the pitch and allows you to maintain pressure on a team.

That's why elite clubs don't go for a Lukaku - and why Man Utd have failed miserably in their recruitment since Fergie left. Ferguson wouldn't have give Lukaku a second glance.

Well I think United might finish out side the top 4 this year so not sure bout that.

Think he’ll get about half a dozen goals more than Tosun but overall I’d take the Erdogan worshipper.

I suspect that Rom was happy with yesterday's game given that he scored. The result is less important than his stats.

If he had scored that early chance, the type of chance running at defense he is good at, the result possibly would of been reversed. He had one opening day at the end but Luke Shaw bailed them out

If he hadn’t scored all those goals in the 16/17 season then we would have actually finished in the same position.

True this, besides If he wanted to still be an Everton player he would be, fact is even when he was one he didn't want to be here, Im just glad we now seem to have players who want to play for the fans and manager and respect the club.

IMO they'll probably finish 5th or 6th, because Mourinho's going to implode sooner or later and the egomaniacs in the club will down tools.

And it will be glorious.

There is no reason why we shouldnt have these in our sights as a team we can finish above, Jose Mourinho circa 2005 is a long way n the past, the modern manager seems to be shadow of that one and the game has left him behind, nobody fears playing them or him anymore
 
I’d take the player Lukaku could be over the player Tosun is any day of the week, but unless and until Rom ever displays any of that selflessness and humility he professes to have, he’ll never quite make it to World class.
