Everton Agree Fee With Man Utd For Lukaku

[d4kyxx]

Mate, he will stroll into our side based on Koeman and Walsh the other month and the record wage we will be paying him.

this season hes got a world cup place to fight for, so id imagine he will be putting the effort in. Next season however a year older, I just worry what he brings to the table. The wage he commands doesn't really match the quality of player he is anymore. I guess we will see

Meh, not bothered. His goals were great, his overall play was not. Let's spread the goals around a bit more. Great deal for Everton (If Re-invested). In a bit Rom.

Browning has gone over to Sunderland officially now then, hope he gets game time I seem to remember they had a lot of defenders in their squad as is Moyes way?

So he didn't put the effort in last season?

Started 15 games, scored 3 I believe from open play.

Be interesting to see if Everton gives him a new lease of life - he'll need it if he's expected to be an integral part of a side competing for the top four.

Huge difference eh? The difference is like getting Bolasie for nearly free, sort of, potentially. Maybe.

It is yes, he's a good player but he's not world class, he has 1 thing that a lot of strikers don't and that he knows we the back of the net is, the rest of his game is average, he's also lazy, which is a fact an proved by distance covered stats. 100 mil is a great deal ex specially when you see the fact that he only won us 9 points, his goal being the winning goal.

Will we be able to find a direct replacement...no will we be a better team without him...yes

I was thinking last night, I wonder how he would perform as a striker or just behind the striker in a more advanced role (like he used to play before moving deeper) curious to see where Koeman fits him in

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

"Feeder Club"

3 players to Utd in 13 years says we're not playing that role very well.

Actually yes it could, unless born on designated British soil like an airbase or consulate. Your nationality is dictated by where you are born. You can have duel citizenship with the country of your patronage and with the one of your birth.

No it's not it depends on the visa held by the parents, if only on a temporary visa or just visiting, the child has the same nationality as it's parents

 

[MACCA75]

We really need to break into the top 4 or this will keep happening with our best players.

All three were are best players at the top of their game

Also getting 157 mil off them for 3 players definitely mates us a feeder club, ppl make me laugh

Noticed the other week that both Keane and Defoe issued personal statements of gratitude for the help and support received at their former clubs when they moved on. Wonder if Lukaku will show the same class.

Decent money received, and happy its been sorted early.

He's still only 24 - he's got better every year at Everton - every year he's contributed more goals. I think in years to come some fans will cringe at how critical they were of Rom.

Also difficult to know what is a good fee at the moment. We paid £28m for him in 2014 when he hadn't even scored a league goal for his parent club. Just read Liverpool expect to get £30m for Sakho.

If I'm a Man Utd fan, I'd be delighted at the fee. Even if he just does alright, they'll get that back the way transfer fees are going anyway.

157 mil off them, not bad, we won't and haven't missed Felliani at all
