LFCMadLad Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 Lukaku is gone and I can't think of a single player that they could attract that will replace 25 goals a season? Its ok having money to spend, it's attracting the players that's the problem! Weve suffered it for years.
6666 Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 If Lukaku is indeed going to Chelsea I think Everton could try and work Batshuayi into the deal.

I've said plenty of times, we won't try to replace his goals, it'll be a different type of player. If you exclude Lukaku's 24 Premier League goals from our side this season we'll have gone from 7th to an embarrassing low to...7th.

Without him you'd have been fucked

Going back from this last few goals; 3rd goal in a 3-1 win against Burnley 2nd and 4th goal win against Leicester 3rd and 4th goal 4-0 win against Hull 3rd goal 3-0 win against West Brom 1st goal 3-2 loss against Spurs 2nd goal 2-0 win against Sunderland 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th goals win against Bournemouth 1st goal 4-0 win against City 3rd goal 3-0 win against Southampton That's just in 2017. Any goal, unless a consolation goal right at the end is important but we'd be in the same position without his.

You are not taking into account the amount of attention teams give to Lukaku. He's basically your only goal threat. Compare your other goal scorers to those of ours. Mane, Lallana, Firmino, Coutinho, have all scored more than any of your players barring Lukaku. Seriously mate, he'll take some replacing.

There's of course the argument that, for example, his goal against City swung the game in our favour or the goal against Sunderland ended their chances of getting back in the game. Take away his goals and the points we'd drop would be; 1 point rather than 3 - Sunderland away 0 points rather than 1 - Palace home 0 points rather than 1 - City away 0 points rather than 3 - Bournemouth home 1 point rather than 3 - Leicester home 9 points won. We'd still be sitting 7th but closer to 8th than we are now.

Without Lukaku, yeah absolutely, he has a few assists as well. And his presence is enough to put the shits up the majority of teams in this league like you mentioned above (after I'd clicked quote to reply, you've got to stop doing that). Just his goals though. Nope.

SirBalon Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Just now, LFCMadLad said: Not a patch on Lukaku I don't know... Put it this way, Everton's football suits Giroud a lot more than Arsenal's. Giroud has been the odd man out since he arrived to be honest and I think he could flourish at a club like Everton. I always said that the Frenchman could do a better job elsewhere. I don't particularly rate Lukaku all that highly.... Overvalued and definitely overpriced for me.

Burning Gold Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 We've apparently had a €75m bid for Mbappe rejected. Good to see us showing some ambition, but I can't it happening. Monaco don't need the money and, while the Premier League is better than Ligue 1, Monaco are better than us at the moment.
Cicero Posted May 19, 2017 Author Posted May 19, 2017 Linked with Bakayoko again. They are asking for 42 million.

Word is in France that Monaco will be willing to sell Bernardo Silva, Fabinho and potentially Thomas Lemar but Bakayoko and Mbappe are considered unsellable barring truly obscene offers.
Administrator Batard Posted May 21, 2017 Administrator Posted May 21, 2017 I'm surprised Pickford isn't on the radar, his distribution is better.
Honey Honey Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 Probably too big a gamble for Man City's ambitions, maybe Man Utd will take that chance though
Dave Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 I can see there being a lot of goalkeeping changes this summer and Kasper being in the thick of it.
