Lukaku

[bizzaro]

I like Rom and we are obviously stronger with him than without

But 28m is too much....no wonder we were able to sign him if thats how much it cost!

its not all up front.

 

[Jadubsee]

I'm delighted but have to say £28m is a hell of a lot. Hope it's spread out a long way, otherwise we've no chance of signing anyone else this window...

 

[obc]

We're not Everloan, we're Ever Rent-To-Own!

Stoked to have Barry and now, finally, Big Rom back.

It's the going rate. Too often we've paid less than the going rate for our players. We're not used to market values like this.

 

[gixerk6]

Glad to have him but Jeez £28M! Cant see this being at 5M a season like Toffeeweb is suggesting

 

[Bob Latchford]

Can't believe this is happening lads!!

Best news in a long, long time.

Made up with this!

I dont know that it is the going rate tbh. I would say that is 5/6 mill over the market rate.

 

[mill]

£28m. Surely includes add ons.

 

[when i score we riot]

"did you have a feeling you would be back here?"
Rom cracks a smile and a little laugh.
"Yeah.. Honestly? Yeah!"

GET IN YOU BUCKET PUNCHERS

Have to be. But even so, we've just exchanged Fellaini for Lukaku... and I'm quite happy with that deal.

 

[when i score we riot]

Our new boss slotter

 

[Muzumbu]

straight swap with Fellaini. He cost £27 million.

I dont know that it is the going rate tbh. I would say that is 5/6 mill over the market rate.

When you've got 19 year old fullbacks going for £30 million - and David-Jeffing-Luiz going for £50 million, £28 million for one of the most prolific strikers in the country isn't unreasonable at all. It just seems a lot to us.

Not being negative by the way. Just surprised we'd have that to spend.

GET IN YOU BUCKET PUNCHERS

Have you been in touch with any of the other players yet?

"Not today, but I've been in contact for the last few months"

You know it Rom! Not a bit of wonder the boss and the players were talking it up.

How could we ever have been in doubt lids?
