Lukaku

[toffeejack]

Well over-priced for where he's at in his development and potential. I just don't see him as ever being worth £28 million.

Even at the rumoured £24 million, I was umming & arring. Got to trust Mr Martinez, I suppose.....

van persie was £24m reaching his 30's.

 

[Tubey]

People actually moaning about the price. Just look at the prices off other top class young strikers around the world.

Hes a proven goalscorer in the prem and is only going to get better

Not moaning, just thinking out loud that it's not exactly a bargain, given his status at Chelsea.

I'd rather we took the gamble at £28m than missed out by not budging over £20m though.

 

[Anna]

I actually feel sick with excitement, have we actually just spent £28 million on one player?

Cannot wait to see him develop into an even better striker in the coming years!!!

 

[Duncan Disordely]

Rom and Roberto were saying everything I wanted to hear, especially Rom talking about how he wants to improve and why he wanted to come back.

£28million.. Hmm, I guess a lot of that is from the new tv deal, its a different market again now. This years £28 million is last years £20million

 

[jerseytoffee]

Absolutely made up, 28m will be worth it for 20 goals a season, welcome back Romelu!

 

[Woolly Blue]

Press conference is on, but apparently Wools can't get it yet...

Chelsea have proper done us on the fee, and I couldn't be [Poor language removed] happier.

cashflows.

I'd of been worried at >30million.

but if its as stated and some add ons which is what it looks like; then there's less to worry about.

the worry is if we don't get him performing.

but then again the whole clubs got to do that. all the players the manager the fans everyone.


but then again i am less worried. a team is not about one man and our midfield looks ace now in most respects.


if the money is spread out over two seasons then we can certainly afford it.

Prices were always going to be inflated slighty by this new broadcasting deal.


Not arsed though, its just nice to see us spend pjar wedge for a change

 

[mglennon]

Get in, at last a statement of intent and we found the Arteta money

 

[bluelife]

Now to wait on it being called £30m by Liverpool fans and £25m by Everton fans

 

[Blue Wiz]

Origi £10M because he scored once in the WC. 6 goals in 35 games in Ligue 1 otherwise

 

[obc]

28m is a lot, but did you see the TV revenue from last season? Was through the roof. Even clubs in the relegation zone made out like bandits.

CARDIFF brought in more last year than Man U did the year before... when they won.

Everton brought in 85m, up 33m from 2012-2013.

 

[Kev The Rat]

I say again, the key is to what extent this affects our ability to make further major signings over the next 12 months

 

[royalblue66]

Bobby just said it's the signing every Evertonian wanted, how true Bobby.

 

[mglennon]

Felliani swap for Lukaku , no brainer.
