Romelu Lukaku

You'e talking absolute bubble if you would take DCL over Lukaku, Yes Lukaku has glaring flaws but he bangs them in quite easily against top teams or not.
6 yard box rebounds are what strikers are for lad, Goal is a goal and I rate DCL pretty high.

There are quite a few less glamourous names I would take over lukaku.... arnautovic, mitrovic, chiquarito, Jimenez, Wilson, king..... he's garbage mate.

The reason Everton fans rate him is because we are not use to seeing a quality striker at the club, so to us he is great, because we dont know any better. Basically a midtable club player, who we managed to blag a big fee for

A Lukaku goal only counts for 0.5 of a real goal, though, because of his technical flaws. A DCL goal is worth triple that because he's a nice lad who puts a shift in.
 
The best compliment I could pay him is that he is a striker version of Sam Allardyce.... bring him in and your team would not get relegated but it would have to be his way, it won't be pretty on the eye and you will never win anything with him.

A bit like Darren Bent was used.... could take a team out of bottom 3 on his own but the team would be set up for him. Stuck him in a spurs team that plays football and......

Prior to him joining United they won the Europa, the EFL and charity shield..... nothing since.

I think even you realised that analogy ran out of team before it got going. He’s never been brought in to save a team from relegation has he?

Ran out of steam? No... it was summed up perfectly hencev it didn't need to be long... he falsely gets credit for being a top striker like allardyce did for being a top manager..... the reality is that with either of them the one thing you are assured of is that you won't get relegated.... you won't win anything though as neither have the ability to impact top level games.

But it's ok..... he must be treated like royalty despite crapping on us constantly cos he won us a "we've got a striker who scored 20+ goals" trophy.

Seen the likes of Charlie Austin, Rickie Lambert, Darren Bent, James Beattie, plunder a similar amount of goals in a season to Rom. Similar level of players.

Wait, what?

Do if he scores in a 1-0 win we actually only win 0.5 -0?

And if lewen scores in a 1-0 it's really 3-0?
 
How highly an individual rates lukaku depends on how one dimensional that person sees the role of a striker....

So let's say they only care about goals and the fact that he loses possession a lot - putting his team under pressure means nothing.... the argument is still there that he doesn't score against top half sides. Having a striker unable to play against better teams means you will never win anything - fact.

Most top sides punish teams on the counter when a forward loses the ball with players committed forward - Southampton the other night vs Liverpool. Lukaku is a liability.

The only thing lukaku is good for is the ego of little 10 year old kids who need a goalscorer who scores 15+ goals so they can have a hero. It doesn't matter to them that they are all against Fulham and Brightons of the league.

I'd sooner have DCL any day of the week.
I'm not sure about that one chief. I like DCL a lot but Lukaku is much better, especially when players around him are playing well.
