Anyone thinking he's going to come here will be disappointed I fear. He would be a phenomenal signing at our level. But if he were to leave Everton, he's easily got another season in the Premier League in him. Do you think him winning those awards are justified? I think he's a terrific player but I don't think he's had that good a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they have a better idea of how their players have played than we do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of modern day footballers, no, not particularly. He's in his 5th season of Premier League Football, and his third for Everton. Awards like that should be done as "newcomer" awards, with an age limit if you want to keep it young. Edited May 16, 2016 by Stevo985 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Lukaka is 23 huh? Who'd have known. I'm with the football ramble lads, I think individual awards in football are bullshit. Even on a club by club basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukaku has got goals but if he's not scoring he's a waste of a player on the pitch. I was suprised at their views of Barkley as well, as they want to get rid as he constantly slows down attacks. I would think that this would be down to Martinez's style though as when I see Barkely he tends to be looking forward for runs and passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Quote Nigeria striker Victor Anichebe has announced he will be leaving West Bromwich Albion when his contract expires next month. He wrote on Twitter: "Thank you to all the @WBAFCofficial fans for the support during my time at the club! I wish you all the best for the future." The 28-year-old signed from Everton in September 2013 and played 63 times for West Brom, scoring nine goals. He has started just three Premier League games this season. He failed to score a single goal this season after appearing in 14 matches in all competitions. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36304435 24 goals in 186 league games. Get him signed.

LakotaDakota Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Can't believe he actually has a record even worse than gabby, at least he has managed a whopping 28 goals in 166 games this decade Edited May 16, 2016 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
