[Toffeelover]

Sorry mate, still riding high on optimism here.

Interestingly Raleigh Blue made a similar point in the board thread calling it investment, worth reading.

 

[Chang Elephant]

Depends I know I am on the right website unlike you. I do not sport the names of non Everton players in my headings which leads me to query who do you support?

This website does not condone accusations of Kopitism, nor idle speculation. Are you sure you are on the right website ?

Yes I am and I might add you are a boring old fart.

What the hell are Toffeelover and the elephant guy talking about?

I didn't know there was a thread dedicated to Woopi Goldberg.

 

[Groucho]

Interestingly Raleigh Blue made a similar point in the board thread calling it investment, worth reading.

I look at it like this - if we've bought him, we've bought him for his goals.

Players can't be seen as investments. What if we bought a midfielder for £20m and his knees wanted to be like Norman Whitesides'? Then you have zero value.

Players should be bought on what they can bring to the team, with the target of trophies and CL. That will then yield return through TV cash.

I feel Lukaku (and all players) should be seen as a squad addition rather than a business pitch.

That's what we bought Naismith for right?

We're gonna get 18M for him after this season.

No, this website does not tolerate personal abuse, even from cockmunching geriatrics like yourself

 

[Groucho]

Exactly. We bought him to be a team member, not to sell on.

Same applies to big Romelu.

Very true, that is what he was signed up for so fingers crossed he nets more this season than last. However Groucho after a few years or sooner the club may have to think of resale value. Chelsea made a profit on him so was that investment on their part. regrettably all players can have their careers cut short for some reason but don't the clubs carry insurance against that eventuality.
Really there is nothing in what I has said it was just for conversation not meant to be taken literally.

Enjoy it mate, it's been a while since we've had a transfer like this.

Hopefully it won't be another 29 years until the next.

Think that difference in approach between us and Chelsea is what has got Rom to come here and kept Ross.

Here they are treated as people - at Chelsea et al they are balance sheet assets.

He looks better from the other side I think

Also surprisingly refined, likes to plays chess with his mates in his library

I joined and assigned the username yesterday. Also, I promise you I am not mick. The only reason I joined was so that I could read the forum while the site was struggling to cope with the Lukaku excitement. Thoroughly enjoying myself on it now though

Beeeuuuuuuu!
