We have two very contrasting players at our club but very similar situations.
On one hand you have motor mouth Lukaku. That confident in his own ability he can't trust his feet to do the talking and instead takes every opportunity big himself up in the media.
On the other we have Stones. Now he may want to go and he may have put in a transfer request last year but what he has done is kept it dignified and private.
If Stones does go I honestly think it would be a mistake for him and for us but I wouldn't hold it against him. For me also I think his attitude in all this only shows how much of an Everton player he really is and something that could see him become a future captain and potentially a legend.
As for Lukaku he is the perfect fit for Chelsea. Drogba and Terry seem like role models he could relate to. His attitude and ego seems like it would.

Why is he motormouth have you heard what he has said or read it in the s*n? it's time some posters grew up and learnt everything in life is not printed in a red top!
17 Jun 2016 21:25:02
Hi Wakka I agree 100% there is so much rubbish from some of the posters on here, GuernseyBlue.
17 Jun 2016 21:56:16
Haha. Quick put your head under the covers and pretend nothing happened again.
17 Jun 2016 22:21:59
So the fact he has been recorded in TV inteviews running his mouth off means nothing and the papers are liars?
18 Jun 2016 06:53:12
Maybe he was misinterpreted. Fact is he thinks he is better than us and wants out so here you go Rom I'll hold the door. Stones I feel will stay because he will be getting coached by a man who in his playing days was a top defender. It would in my opinion be harder to replace Stones than it would Lukaku. Stones has a better first touch is better in the air and can pass better than Rom and he's a centre half. I feel these Belgians for all there talent are really egotistical. We could possibly get Bony and Shane Long for what we recoup for Rom. Burnt his bridges with me with his disrespect to oureport club.
18 Jun 2016 08:33:00
Bony and long really? Is that what we should aspire to in our new era? Koemans interview yesterday he stated his priority was to keep our best players I'm so glad he's in charge and not you!

I think Wakko is bricking himself after just paying out for his Lukaku tattoo!
18 Jun 2016 10:14:15
Not quite Bluejohn, I wouldn't want him to go or stones or Barkley perhaps Koeman is the perfect coach to help them become the players they show promise to be. Just get sick of the anti players posts on here, Evertonians have always over the years supported anyone in the royal blue and find this new culture of hatred not to be the Evertonian way I have always known!

I'm pro Everton to the highest level but won't show any mercey to a player that disrepsects the club and fans that pay his wages.
The problem with Lukaku is that since his new agent has come in and Martinez unwavering massaging of his ego he has done nothing but laud himself, refuse to take responsibilty of his actions on the pitch and blame others. Even now with Belgium, not once has he said "my performance was not good enough". Instead he has talked about how other clubs are interested in him, what a wonderful club PSG is, how he loves Chelsea, how he was a small step away from joining Juve, how everything is in his agents hands but is still under contract with Everton and how he deserves to be players CL football. Oh and before he moves, out of courtesy he will have a little chat with our shareholder.
What part of that deserves any kind of respect from me?
I want a Ged Def saying how he is looking forward to being back at the club and can't wait to work with the manager, Oviedo declaring his love of the fans, a Besic in tears because he has to come off injured then saying he feels like he's let us down, a Baines looking to the future with Koeman and even a Kevin Mirallas finally seeing straight by saying he has let the club down and he wants to stay and fight for Everton next season.
That is what I will give energy for.

Tbf wakka at least both Bony and long have a first touch, long bullies defenders better than Rom, Bony scored as many goals as Rom when he was at Swansea and both could be purchased to replace the Belgian Yakubu, yes Yakubu remember him he scored 20 goals and strolled around as much as Rom does. The fella thinks he's better than he is and has a first touch worse than Jack The Ripper. So yes Bony and Long I wouldn't mind remember this is all about opinions and that is just mine. I don't want a prima donna strolling around blaming everybody else for his shortcomings and miscontrols. If he stays fair enough I will still be in my seat supporting the team but I won't be singing his praises.
