£90million

I'm not going to criticise Lukaku, he has his limitations but he's brilliant at what he does. What is strange is that even tho he's been Everton's best striker since the 80's, hardly any of us are arsssed that he's leaving. For some reason we haven't taken to him

Who will Koeman bring in for 45mil or less that will be as prolific against the smaller sides?

Abe Lackman.......Have you ever said anything positive in any of your contributions to 606?When i say positive,i mean anything of substantive comment which adds to the definition of Football in a meaningful manner instead of the mindless drivel as illustrated in your comment above.

Fair enough

Ever thought that his record against the top 6 might be poor as he's been playing in a poor Everton team?

He'd probably do okay in any of the top 4 teams now? He was a baby when at Chelsea really so it's hard to judge him then. He also wasn't first choice.

He's not that great and we want £90m doesn't quite add up. I think you protest too much.

Really good statistical piece on him. Lost possession 548 times. 4 goals in his last 33 appearances against the top 6. And only Joel Robles had a worse passing accuracy than lukaku of 65%

Lukaku has improved so much since not only his initial loan but more since we signed him permanently.

His first touch has improved, although still not great, admittedly.

I just wonder how he'd fair under Mourinho, afterall, Rom improved away from him, in a team whom were not as good as Chelsea.

Time will tell.

He'll be hard to replace but we've relied on him far too much over the past few seasons, we've been lucky he's not had a serious injury!

With £75m to burn we can hopefully get in a couple of good replacements.

He can't blame his team mates for ballooning the ball over the bar from 6 yards out, I've seen him miss some sitters.

First touch isn't so important when you can bully centrebacks on the half turn.
