Everton Agree Fee With Man Utd For Lukaku

[davek]

Why frustration ?

He wanted to go and probably due to his mate Pogba bending his war, he chose to want to go to Untied in the full knowledge that Chelsea, or at least Conte, were also interested.

We've drawn a massive fee for him plus add-ones and Untied have had to make good a loyalty payment to Wayne Rooney that will see him happy to come back to Everton on a reduced, but still very healthy wage.

With the signings so far and more to come, we'll be an all-round stronger team next season without a primary goalscorer yes, but a team that could and probably will have the same or better total of goals more evenly spread through the squad.

We've won nothing with Lukaku as we won nothing with Lineker, the season after Lineker, we spread the goals around and won the title... Who knows what next season might bring?

And as has been pointed out elsewhere if not on here, Lukaku scored some 87 goals for Everton, the same as the late, great Alex 'Golden Vision' Young, but he will never, ever be remembered with even one millionth of the affection and indeed reverence with which Evertonians hold for Alex Young.

I see no reason for any frustration personally, it was a piece of business that was always likely to happen and we've done rather well out of it.

...and that impatience and lack of discipline and loyalty on his part was maybe the direct result of the way the club briefed against him in March when this thing kicked off.

Players remember that. The use of the media against both Lukaku and Barkley will cost us dearly.

Everton don't get penalties ffs.

Play Ross as a forward...might help.

 

[davek]

And again with the anti-Koeman rhetoric Dave ?

It was relevant because Lukaku's loyalty was questioned. And how could it be when he was set such a dire example?

 

[davek]

Supposedly - and this is from sources that I believe are reliable - appearance based. Some of which, at least.

It'll be mostly honours based.

Moshiri lost his nerve mate. He got the same OT wedgie Kenwright got.

lollollollollollollollollol WTF are you talking about ??

 

[Brownie]

He's a good lad Rom, hope it doesn't work out for him at all and they get relegated.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Happy to call it 75 in public if we get the 90m plus Rooney'd deal in real life.

 

[BlueToff]

lollollollollollollollollol WTF are you talking about ??

Got a world record deal for a player who wanted out.

But yeh, Moshiri lost his nerve.

It's getting boring Dave, as there's simply no way that you can actually believe what you're saying?

 

[BlueToff]

Since we're the selling club, I imagine that United have had to meet our valuation, and not the other way round lol

 

[TX Bill]

90M for Lukaku isn't good business....it's effin great business !!!

Well done Moshiri.

How did the club use the media against Lukaku, dare I ask? Around the time his new contract was being discussed the only media coming out was from his douchebag agent (99.9%) which Lukaku himself then squashed.

well considering United won two trophies last year, that bodes well

 

[LinekersLegs]

Aye, can understand United wanting to brief that way, puts less pressure on Rom (Pogba didn't really do well with it) and after the Fellaini red face they would prefer to avoid looking like they paid our valuation.

We also haven't used the media against Ross, either.

One of our most used and reliable journos - Joyce - actually wrote an opinion piece defending Barkley.

So yeh, Dave chatting wham shocker

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.

@MorgsGoat, @COYBL25 - I apologise for bullying him again.
