Maureen binned him off at Chelsea, and rightly so. I'm so glad we (the Champions) didn't get him. At £30m he would be fine, but at £75m....
Some of my fellow fans think he's the new Drogba, but he's more like the new Heskey.
We've dodged a bullet by missing out on him.
Jose didn't bin him off. Lukaku has said in interviews that it was his choice to leave. Some of my fellow fans think he's the new Drogba, but he's more like the new Heskey.We've dodged a bullet by missing out on him.
It was his choice to sign for Everton but only once Maureen had decided to bin him off.....I guess he could have refused to sign for Everton and seen out the rest of his contract training with the kids. If Jose wanted to keep him, he could have.
As an Everton supporter for more years then I care to remember I have watche Rom quite a lot and from my observations on his day he is unplayable and brilliant, but in quite a few games he goes AWOL. He will score goals no doubt and if he hits it off with those around him then double figures is certain. For us he has been a cash cow only paid 27m sold for 75m. Koeman is a manger who likes all the team to be goal scorers hence the players he as bought, it's going to be interesting this season. Good luck to Romthanks for the memories and the goals.
PS just hope he does not score against us.

If he hadn't have "chosen" to leave for Everton, the alternative would have been to train with the kids, once Jose had made it clear he was no longer in his plans.

In some respects; certain players, style....yes, you are bang average at the moment and are trying to buy your way out of it. Griezmann, Morata....loss of interest by Mourinho is a thin veil over the fact that they don't want to come. Replace them with Lukaku...ok...
morata wants to come,madrid wont drop their price.Griezman wanted to come but depending on what you read united changed priority or the transfer ban for athletico made him change his mind,but regardless post on UWS about 2 months ago saying lukaku was main target,in fact I'm sure several papers mentioned it.franki68 said:

He was supposed to be main target but we went for Morata as it appeared Chelsea was ahead in negotiations. I read the same.
How many games was it before Ian Rush scored against United? Was he s
t?
Stats stats stats
What was Lukaku 2nd top scorer?
This is Mourinho why the fk does it matter if he scores against the top 6. All we do is park the bus and eek out a nil nil. A flat track bully is exactly what we need, according to the ABU drivel on here. No wonder there all worried. It was the draws at home against the so called lesser teams that cost us last year.

No wonder there all worried. It was the draws at home against the so called lesser teams that cost us last year. I'm a little concerned that Lukaku only managed so many goals because of the open way teams tend to set up against Everton. For all the accusations (often with a fair amount of foundation) about United parking the bus, I think it's equally reasonable to say we do encounter fairly defensive opposition tactics a lot more often than Everton would.
The price-tag seems a little stiff to me even in today's market but hey-ho, if it goes through I'm hopefully going to be proved wrong.
What puzzles me though is why don't we just pay RM their asking price? Is it really worth missing out on a decent player that wants to come for the sake of £10m? The way the prices are, every player will be another £20m next summer anyway.

Lukaku for £75m just stinks of desperation.
Also the man utd itk's are rubbish Grizeman done deal. Morata done deal. Ronaldo done deal. Bale done deal.
Desperation? Reports are Jose wanted him so not sure where desperation comes into it. Also the man utd itk's are rubbish Grizeman done deal. Morata done deal. Ronaldo done deal. Bale done deal.
Everton have big backers now so they can ask what they want for him.
