For a £100 million pound deal he's not technically good enough for that sort of money and in theory is like a heskey that scores goals .
I wasn't thrilled when I heard we had signed him but if you look at last seasons problems , it was killing the average teams off and we were drawing to many games against the so called lesser teams .
Lukaku has been labelled as "just scoring against the lesser teams " a tag that I have labelled him myself on here in previous posts.
Maybe , thinking about it he's exactly what we need right now to eradicate last years failings .
His record virtually gaurentees 25 goals a season and his goal scoring record for Everton against the big 6 last season maybe tells a story of tactics more than anything .
Everton surely would sit deeper against the big teams and lukaku would be be more detached , starving him of chances.
I hope he does well and I'm still convinced greizmann will follow once athleticos ban as been lifted .
Spot on.
Anyone who has watched Lukaku carefully will know that he has a tremendous capacity to improve. The kid has a knack for goals and he doesn't miss too many chances. Feed him the ball and he will deliver.
I also think his all round play is under rated here. Minus his first touch, he is technically solid for a number nine - a pure target man. He moves well with the ball at his feet, he is good with his head, his movement is good, his awareness is impressive, he strikes the ball well especially with his left foot and interestingly, he is not bad at dribbling.
For me, what I like most about him is his hunger and ambition. Although that also means he will probably start moaning about heading to Madrid in the next few seasons but while he is at United, he will be desperate to improve his play and deliver the goods.
