Romelu Lukaku

Think it also says something that almost all of the Everton fans I've seen online wouldn't be bothered at al to see him go. Many are happy to see it as a matter of fact. When he's on top of his game he's an unplayable monster. When he's off form or not bothered due to a poor attitude he's Giroud-tier.

£30-35m, okay. Not £60m or more.

It's funny that as soon as he's back on the Chelsea radar, this whole forum is talking shit about him again. Apparently he's only very good if he's not playing for you. :P

This is  true though :lol: where are all the people moaning everytime he scored the past season?

In terms of pure football technique you're correct, but Lukaku is on pace to be one of the PL's all time goal scorers. He scores no matter where he is.

All I'm saying is that no, he definitely isn't worth this insane price, but I wouldn't mind us giving him another shot. I just don't see how he and Costa coexist.

When Rom was here I said that I did not think any manager of a Champions League quality side would ever be satisfied with him as his starting striker. I felt that while Rom's attributes and intelligence would enable him to make a contribution, such clubs would always be looking for a player with better technique. I still believe that this is true so I don't want him back at any price. Costa and Lukaku as a two pronged spearhead costing a combined £100m makes no sense to me. Indeed, I wouldn't be unhappy if Costa was sold. Pairing him with Lukaku would be yet another stupid mistake.

In terms of Rom's goalscoring rate, I have never subscribed to the theory that the player who scores more goals is the better forward. I look for the man whose personal contribution makes the biggest positive impact on a team. That in my opinion, will never be Rom. I'd prefer pretty much any of the other strikers we are being linked with. Certainly AM, certainly GH and certainly PD but there are others too.

They must have been making the mistake of actually watching Rom play. :)

Isn't he their best goalscorer for many years?!
I guess most of them are just bitter that he constantly talks himself to 'better' clubs... the boy is just talking a big game, not that good, imo.
Apart from the one odd exception he has been poor for quite some time, because of the circumstances (young, had to pay ~30 mil, long contract), 60 mil. isn't far fetched,
but we shouldn't do it.

Lukaku is a good Premier League player and I respect his goals record, but I don't want him back under any circumstances.

Definitely understandable. It would just suck if one of our rivals buys him and he continues banging them in and becomes the player we hoped for when we first bought him.

If only the extent of our terrible season ended with us scraping 4th rather than 10th. Then we'd actually have a small chance of convincing Griezmann to join up. He'd be perfect up top next to Diego. Obviously zero chance without CL football.

If we want to play 442, why don't we go for technical striker to partner Costa up front? Like Lacezette, Morata, Dybala, Icardi etc. Much better & cheaper options.

 

Since when is Dybala cheaper? Or since when is he an option at all? Juve would rather sell Pogba than him.

 

Icardi, Morata.. I don't know.. I don't really feel they're special. Morata simply doesn't score enough.

 

Lacazette would be a fit imo. Quick, agressive. I'm in.

That what I think, although I believe the criticism of Costa is massively overrexaggarated, him and Lukaku would never work, and if it's one or the other, then I choose Diego 100 times out of 100.

Yes, I think despite his lack of top-class technique Costa is still a world class striker (or atleast close to it), because of his movements and goal-scorig instincts, he showed that especially last season.

Lukaku on the other hand just doesn't cut it at top level for me. He is missing football IQ, despite getting on the scoresheet on a regular basis. His overall qualities are enough for Everton for example, but he wouldn't start at any top club in Europe as it stands now.
