Everton Agree Fee With Man Utd For Lukaku

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Reports that it's £75m plus £15m in add ons, plus Rooney on a free who they'd put a value of £10m on (which is probably what he'd be due in loyalty payments)

We were never going to get £100m mate, I was merely countering the Mancs post that bidding wars no longer exist.

The only comfort to this saga, is the club have been aware this was gonna happen this summer. It has happened at the start of theceindow, not at the end and I can guarantee that koeman and Walsh have got their target lined up to replace him. It could potentially be another club record signing for all we know, or they might spread the cost and burden if goals across the team with getting giroud(20m) siguardsson (35m) and Rooney in a free.
Or use the money to strengthen all over the pitch: Lemos, Robertson and dembele.

That story isn't true

Ell Bretland is sound, but IIRC works for the Mail so probably doesn't want to 'doubt' their exclusive.

Joyce already said he had permission and I'd trust him over the Mail any day

ell is sound? Why cos he's a blue? Putting his name to a blatantly untrue story is not considered OK cos he's a blue. Unless I'm missing the point?

Man U really no how to play the media, while Everton do 1 text then nowt, need to come out and tell everyone it's rubbish, otherwise you look really stupid.

Monday not accepting under 100

Thursday Utd agree a deal, Everton say no deal

Friday all the papers report he's having a medical which make Everton out to be liers, that is except 1 which says Koeman is furious Lukaku didn't report for training which makes Everton's story true

The guy who reported it at the BBC is a close friend to Woodward at United.

Riola will be spinning it with the media as well.

It wasn't his story. He just shared the article

So....£100m

Bingo

 

[Connor]

The media have been doing United's bidding for them all day. Sky must have a deal were they get another bung every time they say 75m.

I'd rather we got our replacements in first tbh. Quite scary the thought of only Rooney in as a replacement.

I too would like replacements done before he leaves, I think everyone would but it never works that way.

He'll go, Rooney will come in and the talk will be "well rooney is the replacement." We'll have to change that quickly and move on.

Oh and don't forget abar Sandro TT.

According to joyce Rooney isn't apart of the deal stop bed wetting about his return.

Arteta at 10 mill was selling low.

He was 29 and had just come back from a major injury...

Six years ago, £10m for a 29-year-old wasn't selling low... Even though that summer was a bloody disgrace like

Always seems sound enough to me like C.

I don't think i've ever met him in person, though. Not that I recall, anyway.

It makes me mad, that they have dropped the price to include Rooney who best days are clearly behind him and we help 'them' by getting Rooney off their wage bill.

 

[mutley]

The good news is at least we've got Rooneys wages covered for the next 3 years now.

Let me spell it out for the hard of thinking. If the asking price was £100m, you bid £75m and it's treated with a meh. Chelsea then bid more and we sit back and wait for you to increase your bid. Otherwise known as a bidding war...

Not if you don't want to sell.
Not if you are showing good faith to the player, with whom you have a verbal agreement that you will allow him to go if someone meets your valuation.
Not if you have set a valuation which is far from the real value of the player, and which an opposing board are likely to refuse to pay.
And did I mention, NOT IF YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO SELL, but are honouring an agreement with the player.
There is one price - £100million. Meet it and you can speak to the player, but hopefully you won't because, WE DON'T WANT TO SELL!
No bidding war. Just a price.

I've only ever passed ways with him via the internet but every time I have, hes been a massive Ted. Gets a pass cos he's a Blue but he gets a massive SWERVE from me.
