Lukaku

[Matthew mcdonnell]

always been so thrilled by this stat but It's clearly the coming years that define how good they will be, plenty of names below rom there but look at those names now, rom still needs to step up a gear to become like what some of those are now, which I have no doubt he will under bobby.

Even bbc news are reporting it haha

I've had two bottles of wine this evening just to celebrate. Nevermind it's a friends' birthday, it's this Lukaku deal I'm drinking for. Allez oh mothereffers, goodnight!

Oh, one more thing:

What a bunch of snides Chelsea fans have turned into. I've always regarded them as the least of the evils, between awful glory hunting ManU fans and the ridiculous, inexplicable swarm of Arsenal fans over here in America (there aren't any real Man City fans, and obviously the Liverpool folks can eff right off). I spent the last six months hearing about how Lukaku was the wunderkind of the future, and all of a sudden he's Ricky Van Wolfswinkle with an attitude problem because he doesn't want to sit on the bench behind 56-year-old Didier Drogba and 750k-a-week, three-goals-a-season Fernando Torres. Even Mourinho, the jerk, has been perfectly reasonable in his comments, and these turds are running down a kid who was never given an honest chance. True colors from that group.

My favourite poster on GOT, i love Pat's Van's posts. I don't suppose you used to be Strikinglyhandsome on bbc 606 did you, he had the same style

No mate, you've misunderstood.
+1m was Lukaku - Fellaini... (28m-27m), therefore the result to buy him after Feli was +1m, then add the loan fee on top whatever that was...

But then subtract the higher league position winnings, European earnings, future sale fee, shirt and sponsorship fee's and its win-win.

Really, though, Felli was probably on larger wages, so that might make it even closer.

They are vicious creatures them lot, and what happens when vicious creatured are threatened? They snap and go on the attack, which is exactly what is happening here it seems.

They just cant bare the fact we have signed Lukaku and they have signed someone called Orgy labelled POSSIBLY "the next Lukaku"

Talk Sport agrees with him mate.

Just lol

Not biased of course but within minutes of us signing him (I switched across when the feed died in the hope of hearing the radio questions), they had that up...

Their conclusion on whether Lukaku was a decent value signing... is err all about Liverpool and their quality signings... including dismissing Caroll.

talkSPORT verdict
If we keep all of the factors mentioned above in mind, understanding the wild variations in transfer fees is made slightly easier. Daniel Sturridge may have proven to be twice the player Andy Carroll is, but the £23m between their respective transfer fees is easy to understand if we consider that Carroll’s form was significantly better than Sturridge’s in the seasons prior to the move, Sturridge was signed early in a transfer window while Carroll moved in the dying minutes, and finally, the selling club (Chelsea) was happy to see Sturridge go, while Newcastle had no need to offload Carroll at that particular moment in time, but Liverpool seemed desperate to bring in an additional striker. As for Romelu Lukaku, is £28m a good valuation for Everton or Chelsea? Time will tell.

 

[TX Bill]

I'm going to raise my probability of us signing Lukaku up to 100%.


Yeah, I feel pretty confident about it.

i'd be terribly pissed off if i was a chelsea fan seeing him go, but i'd respect the lad for wanting to play football - it's got to be respected, surely?

he only played 190 mins for chelsea, pretty appalling tbh.

 

[Lukaku'sLeftTesticle]

Its funny people moan about players who move to clubs like Chelsea to pick up a fat wage and sit on the bench yet heres a young kid who wants to do the opposite and they now say he has a "bad attitude"

I despair
