Calm down people, he didn't even say he wants to leave now. He knows he is not good enough yet. He wants to become the kind of player the big clubs want, and in all honesty that's what every player wants. They want to be the best and play for the best. There are clearly dressing room issues, we all know that. So people, please do not react to stupid articles like that, which are clearly manipulated to suit the papers needs for sensationalism.
{Ed025's Note - i know what you mean manno, but he must have said something to that effect or he would be tweeting blue murder..

Talking to a chelski mate of mine he tried to pull the same there I.e if he was not center of attention he lost interest, Jose is no mug and for that reason got rid. I said from day one we overpaid for him and think this may come to bite us in the arse, let's sell him and go for Ings.
{Ed007's Note - It was nothing to do with Mourinho, the decision to offload Lukaku was taken further up the food chain at Chelsea.}

Everton is know ones steping stone, you come here to win, to play great football, for a great club, for great supporters, if you come with one eye to move on to "better thing" please don't bother putting pen to paper, no matter how talented you are-or think you are.

Completely agree with the original post. We all know we're nowhere near the best, and Lukaku has no deep lying affiliation to us, so of course he's hoping to move up in his career. EVERYONE BUT A SCOUSER WOULD FEEL THE SAME. Doesn't mean he wants to leave now, just that he has ambition. If anything, I'd be more willing if he was just content with mediocrity.

You don't need to be a scouser to have loyalty to the club. Look at all the non scouser ex players who came to the area and stayed here, some still working for the club. I'm not a scouser but came to the area 60 years ago when Jonny Carey was manager and followed Everton ever since. Didn't even think about following the other lot.

Which is why Wolfsburg are now interested in him. Roberto has got us in such a state (in particular refusing to see the blinding obvious of needing to supply Lukaku and play to his strengths) that we unfortunately cannot afford the time to wait for Luk to fulfill his potential. I say if we can get close to what we paid for him then he can go.
