Most frustrating thing re Lukaku is that he never, ever seems grateful to #EFC for giving him his chance to impress in the Premier League.

#Lukaku is very good but he's not as good as he thinks he is.
He's going to find that out very soon.I'm still sorry to see him go.#EFC

Take the point that Lukaku has been disrespectful on more than one occasion, but have we ever given him a tangible reason to stay? #EFC

If we get £80 million for Lukaku I'll be laughing until Christmas! Dont want him to go but that price is far above what he's worth. #EFC

It appears that a small minority of supporters are not too concerned with the Belgian leaving the club as long as the Toffees receive a huge sum of money.
Lukaku was one of the star performers in the Premier League last season, scoring a total of 25 goals in 37 league appearances.
It was the first time in the Belgian’s career where he managed to surpass the 20-goal mark in a single league season.
The striker’s goals guaranteed the Merseyside club Europa League football but it is looking more likely that that Lukaku will not playing at Goodison Park next season.
Lukaku is currently away on international duty with the Belgium national squad as they prepare to face Estonia on Friday evening in an important World Cup qualifier.
