Everton Agree Fee With Man Utd For Lukaku

[bluekangaroo]

Well then. Are we happy with the fee?

If it turns out we get Rooney for free or on loan and United pay half his wages, 75m for Lukaku seems fine. I'd rather have no Rooney and an extra 10m for Lukaku mind you.

Rooney,sandro and Giroud would all get more than 8 each

I'd expect a club with ambitions of a CL spot and challenging for titles to go out and invest a 75m+ fee for an outgoing striker on a new quality replacement.
Is that too much to ask?

 

[blueblue]

This is strange.
I cannot help but feel there are some twists to come in this story yet.

I'll take 75mil and Rooney - especially if we re-invest it into our squad

 

[windymiller]

I can't really understand why some lids on here are going completely mental about this. We all knew he would be on his bike this summer. We all knew £100m was probably a bit over the top. I'm just chuffed it seems to be happening relatively early in the window so we can get our team sorted before the start of the season.

 

[Piijt]

I can now look forward to the Old Trafford groans at his sublime first touch

 

[blue61]

Rom would be an idiot to go to Manure, they've got a worse squad than us.

 

[kithnou]

Giroud got 16 goals despite being mr sub, I would expect Sandro to get at least 10 with good game time.

Past your 25 already

I'd expect a club with ambitions of a CL spot and challenging for titles to go out and invest a 75m+ fee for an outgoing striker on a new quality replacement.

That's got to happen and I'm sure koeman has already demanded it

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Nailed on to get 20+ goals a season which makes him a good buy for United. £75m for a player with serious holes in his game, and who wishes to leave, is good business for us. How we replace him was always going to be the big question.

Can't wait to see how United fans react when he fluffs sitters in big games or fails to trap a ball for 90 minutes

 

[bcblue1878]

Just imagine if the new Everton overtook him and his new club.

Think you meant to say when not if !

Lukaku was signed for 28m.
Maybe we already have signed a striker whose value will go to 80m... but maybe he was signed for just over 5m.

 

[.....!]

Let the bidding war commence.

What striker that is worth so much would currently come mate?

Just saying...

Aubameyang? Belotti? (both unproven in the PL). Moratta?

And again, you have to have the back up in place to ensure that if they flop, you can still get goals.

 

[peteblue]

Let's go and sign that Aubyenmangyangmang lad now...

Give us an A.......
