Romelu Lukaku

[OhForAGreavsie 6,057]

Still not an excuse to be spouting so much BS in the media though. Never mind the comparison with Hazard, even some other players work hard to improve themselves and then earn that move to a big club. Let the performances on the pitch do the talking. At the moment, Lukaku is more a top trash talker off the pitch than a top player on it.

What I was trying to say is. Hazard is humble, lukaku is arrogant.

Being arrogant is fun when you back it up on the pitch like zlatan. He has no right to make a statement saying he'll leave to a bigger club when your current club broke their transfer record for you 6months ago

Gentlemen,

You are both right of course, I can't argue with what either of you say. I do though remember Hazard being accused of something similar when he was planning to leave Lille. Unlike Romelu, Eden had given good service to his old club and has since proved that he can walk the walk in the big league. I accept that this makes his situation different to Lukaku's, but when Eden had a reason to talk about making progress in his career, it seems that is exactly what he did.

Not surprised by his comments. Always had a big mouth and only showed glimpses of talent. So glad we got rid of him!

In fact what top team will spend £30+ million on him? Everton will want a profit...

If Lukaku doesn't develop as he should be and continues to be inconsistent, then think Everton will just take whatever decent amount they can get and cut cost.

Hehe, I see Romelu is back at it again. Hilarious.

This is the reason why he HAD to leave as rapidly as possible. He runs his mouth more than he scores goals. Toxic player to the squad. Balotelli 2.0 in the making.

Tools are there, talent is there, attitude and mentality are not there. Seems to be a case of another pampered young star.

Wolfsburg by the sound of things.

Well who is questioning Jose's decision now?

The guy had (maybe still has - still only 21) the chance to become a fantastic player, but he's got his head up his arse and is believing his own hype. It will end badly for him. It's a crying shame. Somebody in his life - needs to sit him down and give him a great fucking dose of reality, all the yes men/girls and hangers on are going to ruin this guy, and when he's skint and has fuck all, they will move onto the next person.

Very sad for him - I hope somebody close to him has the balls to make him realise...

Wolfsburg wants to pay €40M for him, the amount that Everton asks for him .

If he shuts his mouth and works hard, he is worth the amount. Because in a scoring team like Wolfsburg he can reach 30 BL goals every season. But I guess they don't see games and don't read interviews of Lukaku . Dost is way ahead of him atm.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

For the sake of his own career, he really, really needs to just stop talking. He's still very young, but that excuse will wither away very quickly, however.

Really goes to show how invaluable emotional maturity is in this industry.

...and not sure why he feels the need to speak down, even implicitly, about Everton. Always thought they were an excellent club.

The best club in Liverpool city anyway.

[DH1988 1,346]

Remember popping onto toffeetalk and they were ridiculously excited that they signed him, if you go there now its a far different story.

If Lukaku is genuinely keen to “arrive at a top club” again, there are several steps he could take to achieve such an aim.

One: Learn how to hold the ball up more effectively. Lukaku looks every inch a £28m footballer when he is running with pace and strength onto through balls, but with his back to goal his first touch is usually so sloppy his second is often a tackle.

Two: Use his obvious physical assets to dominate in the air more consistently. When Lukaku scored a wonderfully brave header on his Everton debut at West Ham Blues fans celebrated the arrival of a dashing centre-forward in the true Everton tradition. Since then he has scored just two more headers, none this season.

Three: Replicate the movement and work-rate which characterised his thrilling first three or four months as an Everton footballer.

And finally, offer an apology to the fans who have whole-heartedly supported him, but who felt let down by his ill-advised comments on Wednesday night.

We won’t hold our breath ...

from the Liverpool echo.

Where are those that where vehemtly arguing that he was misunderstood/misquoted and that he didn't say all those things over the summer?

I still don't understand why people were defending him. He's got an awful mouth on him. So glad we got shot of him.

Another example of how big decisions should be left to the manager. If it was up to us, Lukaku would be our "star" striker.

Exclude me from that particular us please.

I was saying within the first 20 minutes of Lukaku's Chelsea debut that he would never be first choice here because his touch simply was not good enough and that it would never improve. I was called foolish for offering that opinion. Well, I certainly am a fool, but probably not on that subject.
