Broke our Premier League goalscoring record in 4 seasons, at 24. He's a great striker.
Is our poor record at big sides away on Rom? Team performances against these sides, on the whole, have been poor. And besides we'd have beaten Chelsea away if it wasn't for poor ref decisions/defending.
You don't think having a 25 goals a season striker, while improving the team in other areas - like we have been doing prior to this transfer saga - wouldn't improve our chances of finishing higher than 7th?
Or , if not Vardy, could there be any other player out there at all who might fit that description...nah, probably not.
Chelsea in the cup at Goodison would probably be my favourite

Rom will be missed, but not the way he's acted while on the way out. Been very grandiose and dramatic in his talks with the media

we paid 28 million, got 68 goals over 4 years (including his loan) - that's good value for us.
we paid 28 million , selling him for £90 million. that's good value for us. (+62 million)
we are paying nothing for rooney (valued at 10 million +) who they paid us £26.5 million for , utd are paying him £15 million of his wages so he agrees to our pay cut. that's good value for us. (+£51.5 million)
we are getting a £250k a week player for 100k less. that's good value for us. (everton 10.4 million better off than utd would have been paying over 2 years )
they are getting a player we valued at being worth £150k a week, utd are paying lukaku 100k a week more than we would have (utd 10.4 million worse off than everton would have been paying over 2 years)
everton have done very very very well financially in this 13 year striker merry go round.
when rooney left we were struggling to survive and financially couldn't compete and had a thread bare squad . utd were top of their game.
that rooney money led us to a position where eventually we could sign a 'lukaku'
with lukaku going, we are on the cusp of breaking back into the big time ,have financial power and a deep good quality squad.
does lukaku improve much on rooney+ ibrahimovic ? not really.
does rooney + sandro + 90 million to buy a couple more strikers improve on lukaku and kone ? yes .
utd aren't mugs , they are and have paid for good players ..... but at a really high premium and to our financial benefit .
now is the time though where from now on it shouldn't be about our financial benefit , we want success on the pitch and need to be beating the likes of utd.

Good afternoon David, and what a fine, sunny afternoon it is.
I shall be taking a cup of tea to drink in the garden shortly, but first, I shall open the vaults ....
From the Lukaku thread ( https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/romelu-lukaku.77973/ ) in March this year :-
Well, we're getting 75 million up front with a possibility of another 15 million, so you were plainly wrong in March !
For now, I bid you a fond farewell and look forward to reading your blustering response later today.

I read they want Dier for 50 million! Do people actually watch the players or just blurt random figures out and see what sticks?!
