If just to take the bad taste of Gana out of my mouth, apologies I couldn’t resist If he matches Gana I'll be happy, if he's better I'll be over the moon. nyblue23, StevO, Romey 1878 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and then it will be so enlightening when he’s got the ball to see what should be done with it, rather than just give it away Remember winning the ball is only part of being a footballer, what you do with it once you’ve won it shows your true ability as a player, as PSG found out in under a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you say it.... doesn't mean it happened And let’s face it, PSG were even playing him after the lockdown when apparently he had been found out. So yes they found out in under a year how valuable a player he is. You got something right for a change Edit: No no no.... I’m not letting you do this to me!

Short memories usually repeat the same mistakes, Touchel is learning that lesson. Like I said hopefully Allan will open your eyes and mind and you will see how poor Gana was at being a complete footballer. And like Haf did after year’s of condemnation over his opinions of Lukaku, when he proven to be more right than wrong he sung out and rightfully so. So trust me my friends this isn’t over yet as the Carpenters sung “ it’s only just begun’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard Lukaku from what I seen.... Loads of goals Vs cannon fodder and then when it gets to the critical games he bottles it Did you watch inter Vs Barca B side where a win would have got Inter into the knockouts of the CL? Missed 3 easy chances. Then in the Europa cup final he basically handed the game to the other side, his great first touch proving the difference. His stats look great though... Just not in the games that defined the league. .. that's why juventus won the serie a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a tendency amongst some of our supporters to make it seem like everyone who leaves the club of their own volition (Lukaku, Stones, Barkley etc..) will never have any success outside of Everton or was never really any good in the first place. It’s a small mentality and not a good look. It does not make us stronger to demean the players that have chosen to leave. Lukaku in particular is a silly one to go after as he was fantastic player for us and gave us a year more than he needed to. If Richarlison leaves after this season I expect a percentage to say he will never have real success outside of Everton and take joy in any struggles he encounters in his career.

It is not a secret that he could have gotten a big move a year prior. You’ve ignored my point though which is that some supporters go out of their way to criticize former players who leave for clubs higher up the table. Often these are the same fans that can’t wait to disparage a player after a bad run even if he’s contributed in the past. Call it the “Pack your bags, Siggy!”Group. Personally, I think it’s petty and not a great look for the fanbase though I realize it happens everywhere in sports.

Points against smaller clubs don’t count mate, just like the goals scored. imagine if he only scored against the big teams (20-25%) and failed to score in the rest. He’d be the greatest in the world!
