To be honest I am not really fussed about Lukaku. I did some stats and for his 19 goals in 26 games he has played this year. Lukaku has played against the Top 10 sides this year 12 times and scored 5 goals. He has played the bottom sides 14 times for 14 goals. 9 in 3 games. I look at Jermaine Defoe and he is in shocking team and is only a couple behind. I honestly think And this is my opinion, and some people may say I'm full of it, but I think he is over rated. He is replaceable, whether it be Rooney, Defoe, Dembele all can do the job. However, if we lost Barkley, this would be a massive blow. Now he is my fav at Everton and have always defended him, but to me he has more upside than Lukaku, and he is the reason in the massive spike of form.

I have to say that using Defoe as a comparisson is bad! Defoe is a brilliant goalscorer and whilst I get your point. who will score goals for us if Lukaku goes? Not Defoe. that is just about certain. Defoe ahs always been quality and will probably go on another season. but we need a young up and coming center forward. or 2.

I think Aussies point is who is to say other strikers would not have scored those goals n an Everton shirt, even one playing for a team in the relegation zone.

I have touched on this before about scoring against bottom teams and teams in the top 4.

With you on the over rated, he's still young and may move up a level, banging goals in against the bigger teams but for me, if daft money is offered, I would snap it up and invest n two quality strikers.
