If he was willing to come would you pay 20-25 million for Lukaku?

[Pat's Van]

if the fee is not 28m, then tell me...

what is the fee?

 

[Jxg]

It might reach that one day but I reckon i's absolutely nothing like that.

The reasons we'd just say ''28 million'' are endless.

This has to be right. No way we'd just give out 28 million. Bill would have a stroke.

 

[Tubey]

what is the fee?

Less than £28m.

£28m is the maximum fee we'll pay over the duration of his contract.

It could be installments, performance-based etc. but £28m is the "headline figure" I reckon.

In some thread somewhere, I said that Lukaku might be too much of a financial risk for a club like Everton. After Lukaku signing turned out to be one of the greatest days of my life, it is an opinion I no longer hold and I retract my statement.

What have we paid upfront mate?

 

[Goat]

What have we paid upfront mate?

28m.

 

[Bungle]

28m.

And with add ons it's £32m?

 

[FTY]

What have we paid upfront mate?

I dunno but we wouldn't have paid 28 mil up front, no way.

 

[Goat]

And with add ons it's £32m?

No mate, 28m, 10m down, 2x9m payments.

 

[Toffeelover]

And with add ons it's £32m?

I did not know there were add ons, please reveal all Bungle.

So let's get this straight, we've paid £28m up front, then we'll give them another £10m and £18m over 5 years

 

[Librarian]

Payment'll probably be spread out wider than Katie Prices legs, we'll pay the last installment in moon dollars

 

[Bungle]

I did not know there were add ons, please reveal all Bungle.

Yeah definitely add ons mate, we effectively pay Chelsea an extra £4m if we finish top 4 this season.

 

[bignev23]

Why are people insisting its not 28 mill when that is being widely reported even on our own site. Can they link us to something that says it was less?

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

We paid £25m spread over 3 years with £3m in possible add ons
