Romelu Lukaku

[Alarcón]

35 is really too much for him

 

[barcanuck]

Everton spend 35 million on Lukaku, who had a semi-decent season

Football is fucked.

 

[KingMessi]

That doesn't mean anything you know. Lukaku, though a beast in the physical sense, leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to his technical abilities.

 

[linetty]

I think his technical abilities are just fine for a guy of that size. He's scored more goals than Messi at his age so... If James costs 90M then this guy is 35 easily.

 

[Jenks]

With the new TV deal coming in expect a lot of clubs to be throwing around millions like it's spare change.

Wow 3 years in Belgium amateur football

 

[Galning]

. He's scored more goals than Messi at his age so..

So what?

 

[Antimadridista1]

So what?

So Lukaku is the best ever, that's obvious.

 

[linetty]

So what?

So that means he's a top talent and for top talents you gotta pay shitloads these days.

Everton will finish above Liverpool in the upcoming season. You can put this in the 'I told you so' thread, but is it really necessary?

Played just 2 seasons in Belgium, but nice try. 65 goals in 4 seasons, nice average.

 

[Adversus]

32 goals in the premiership in the last two season even if you discount the Belgium league. He certainly knows where the back of the net is.

If he can develops his heading and general holdup play which he definitely has the size and strength for he could be a bargain. If he doesn't then he'll never be able to lead the line for one of Europe's elite.

 

[Howes]

£27mil is a lot, but the way the premier league is set with the new income of TV money, this will become standard

Played just 2 seasons in Belgium, but nice try. 65 goals in 4 seasons, nice average.

Belgium isn't that easy of a league to score many goals.

Thorgan Hazard got 17 goals and 20 assists last season...
