Romelu Lukaku

[Sheva. 5,373]

I don't see many starting with 21 year olds.

or 22 year olds.

But then I don't see many 20 year olds like Lukaku with over 20 international caps to their name. We didn't give him a chance, but Everton did and he's repaying that faith in him. We made a mistake loaning him out in my opinion.

Are Eto'o, Torres and Ba better than Lukaku though? Not were they. Not do they have more medals than him. Not are they older.

Are they better than him right now?

It's a simple question.

The other question is would he learn more from the likes of Lampard, Terry, Mourinho and even Torres than he would from Jelavic, Distin, Pienaar and Martinez?

All big teams in Europe have experienced big name strikers, and when you look back at when they were around Lukaku's age they were playing for clubs not too dissimilar from Everton.

There's no doubt we bought him too soon imo, but by next season he should be good enough to be our 2nd option.

Regarding Lukaku, I just dismiss it when people bring up his goalscoring stats simply because everyone knows the kid can score goals already. That's not the reason he's gone out on loan. He's gone out on loan to become a more complete footballer, to improve his back-to-goal play, his link up game with players etc.

That's why it really doesn't phase me when people try to bring up his goalscoring record, or the fact that he's outscored our forwards.

I don t understand you. How will his link up play with hazard and oscar (hopefully and probably our AMs for the coming years) improve if you send him to another club?

And if you bring playing time on in your answer, i cannot understand the acquisition of eto o in the summer or ba last januari!

Anyone saw the Daily Mail clip where he's trying to freestyle?

Quite hilarious, poor Romelu.

Another one for the beast

[Special Juan 27,439]

Just scored

Let the meltdown begin.

His game has been nothing outstanding so far but he did take his goal well, good to see him doing well at Everton.

[zyzz 711]

Happy for him

[Stingray 9,441]

The boy can score .... Link up play and lack of technical skill or not. He just scores, our tank.

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Can't wait for next season already. Get a proper CM and we'll be complete. Bloody hell.

he is a waste of space ,,will score 40 a season and do fuck all else ,,,well he will scare the shit out of opposing defenders I suppose .. oh and I suppose he will open up space

for our other attackers oh and I guess they will pick up from shots the keeper push out ... oh and might win a few penalties for Frank ...Oh and a few free kicks ,,

but what else will Lukaku do for US ?????????/

Reapeat it to yourself

It's easy to score goals at Everton unless you're Jelavic

This is just awesome

Really impressed with the work Martinez has obviously been doing with him, hes looking better in terms of link up and holding the ball up.

He praised Rom's link up play a few weeks ago and I feel he will keep getting better under Martinez because at West Brom he was really playing in a counter attacking system which we really don't play and now hes playing in a team that like to have possession similar to how we want to play and he is a vital part of that Everton team. Martinez will help him tactically as well as he had done with Moses and McCarthy at Wigan who are now better footballers for that.

Next season he should be part of the squad, for sure. If he'd stayed with us for another year and hadn't scored as many goals as he is for Everton then people would be saying hes a one season wonder or hes shit like they did in his first season after he struggled to get used to English football.

Loving the Drogba celebration he done when he scored

[Milan 17,859]

He is tank not only on the pitch but even when playing virtual football!
