How have Everton kept hold of Lukaku for so long?

[Mr X]

How do they keep him? Scored two terrific goals today & looks likely to score whenever he's in possession, unfortunately leagues ahead of mane at the moment

[Batman]

just say no.

will they keep him this summer. ??

[supersonic]

you mean kept hold of him for a season and a half? Not that long.

[Lord Duckhunter]

Because they play higher wages than us & also he's been hit and miss the last couple of seasons. He's also had a spell at a big club unlike the players we didn't keep, that must maker a difference in mind set .

[Shance]

Because they paid over 30 million for him. That's why.

[SuperSAINT]

Has anyone bid for him?

[Shance]

Has anyone bid for him?

 

No and they probably won't as Everton paid so much for him in the first place.

28.

Absolutely. I doubt he'll want to go anywhere in this league where he'll be second choice.

[Saint_clark]

Combination of all of the above...he hasn't actually been there long, they paid huge money for him and he has already experienced how difficult it can be at a big club so is happy being the main man at a slightly lower level.

[doddisalegend]

Also he was pants last season so no one wanted him last summer.

Any clue what this has to do with Saints?

The other question about Lukaku is, what was the "special one" thinking in letting him slip away from Chelsea.

And De Bruyne...and Betrand......he's dropped a couple of clangers there, it has to be said.

Chelsea NEVER blood their own youth players. Their record with youth in the first XI is shocking.

Bertrand has to be held up as an example of why youngsters are better off at clubs like ours . Ok, he had a champions league winners medal , but he wasted 3 years of his career . The stupid thing is had he come through our ranks , he'd probarly be at Chelsea or Man c now . These big clubs just don't have a pathway to the first team , money and prestige is the only reason parents push their nippers there . For devolopment come to a club like ours

They signed him for £28m in 2014. They've kept him through the winter 2015, summer 2015 and winter 2016 transfer windows. 3 transfer windows is not a huge amount of time and they are unlikely to sell him unless someone offers them a profit on the £28m they paid.

[BlakeySFC]

Paid £25m for him, he's probably on a fair wedge of cash, that's probably how.
