Everton Agree Fee With Man Utd For Lukaku

[whiteshadow]

The £90m is just to appease people, it's £75m really. If someone asks you your yearly salary you don't tell them a total with what you could earn if you hit targets and bonuses and all that jazz.

I'm happy to get it all over with, it would have a negative effect letting it run through the summer, I'm more disappointed with the way it's been handled and lack of news from Everton. The whole thing has been played through United and Sky sources which turns were spot on from Thursday and made us look small time in my opinion.

We have Phil Neville tweeting pics and Rom and Pogba announcing it and not a word from Everton.

Isn't not leaking stuff to the press before they've been concluded more professional?

I'd argue, United having people leaking info all over the shop looks far worse.

I get a lot of fans like to know what's going on but in the overall scheme of things does it matter if we know early or not, as long as it gets done?

It's £75m in all. If Lukaku had gone to Chelsea we'd have still got Rooney for free. We haven't got £90m for him. In 5 years we may get say £90m, but not now.

I think £75m is realistic, no one would pay above that.

So , if we get another 5m in twelve months time we don't count that as part of the deal.

When we sold Rooney to Utd it was 20m plus add ons and we got 27 in total , was the price we got for him 20m or 27m ?

It's still being reported on BBC as 75 million ?

I am sorry but you have to look at the bigger picture. Throw Rooney in as well, they would easily get 10m for his as well if he was sold.

So if a European is born in Asia does that make him Asian?

Guess it depends on their skin colour doesn't it mate. Cretin

Yeah and the first down payment was just 10 million.

What does the term "easily acheivable" mean to you. You're not even grasping at straws any more.

You have no idea what that breaks down as.

 

[Amw79]

Same old same old mate.

It just highlights where power resides when we have to do business with the elite: they run 'kin rings round us both in terms of media stuff and final price and conditions of sale.

Make no mistake, we've come up short here...I wouldn't say rinsed . but we have been outmanoeuvred by United.

My point was about disparity of reporting, so if we're calling this 75, we should call Pickford 25 etc.

Agree completely whole thing makes us look smalltime feeder club
United fans allready quipping we gave you back `tubby` ..... ouch

 

[MikeH72]

Even with £90m it only makes £108m but whatever.

But which is it? You can't keep saying we've been mugged off as we may only get £75m for him (which you've basically just said again) but then praise Martinez for having bought someone we've just sold for £90m.

Lol. Just watch.

 

[Titus Bramble]

Never understood the need to perpetually moan over anything and everything

 

[MikeH72]

There can be now doubt Martinez recruited well for us. Nissan was a disaster but as a whole we recruited well.

Well that's a lie

You could be right mate. In fact I think you will be right, in that some deals are going to be insane, especially as the window goes on. Neymar for 130 million for example.

As people have said though, Lukaku is a fantastic goalscorer but there are still question marks about his first touch and ability to deliver in big games. I'm not sure he's seen as the "hot property" in the way Harry Kane is. Maybe that's perception and the influence of the London media, or maybe Kane is just better, I am not sure. I don't think people widely give Lukaku's goalscoring enough respect though, and lots of people are doubtful about the 75 million.

It's funny, I remember many feeling similar when Lescott went for 24 million. Lots of questions raised but hindsight showed it was a decent deal. I think we will see this as an overall good deal in what will be a very erratic market.

Maybe we could have got more though, maybe Chelsea or United would have panicked as the window dragged on. The risk is, maybe Lukaku would have thrown a tantrum had we not let him go and we could do without the dilemma. We will probably only know in 6 weeks and alternatively in 6 years where this fee fits!

I meant hot property in the that he was the one on the move this summer.

I'm not sure it's an erratic market. It's one headed only i one steady direction: upward. From summer to summer it's getting more and more inflated.

I'd have accepted close on £75M for Lukaku last season, maybe a bit less. But after this season his fee should have been through the roof without clauses.

He's not the complete player, but he's PL tried and tested. If he gets 20-25 goals for United this season he'll have paid for himself straight away.

You have no idea what that breaks down as.

Nor do you you prize plum, but people in the know have suggested they're easy to hit.
