Lukaku

Yeah, I will spit it now if it falls apart. Hopes are up, Bill. Hopes are up.

Maybe Bill found the Arteta money in the back of the couch.

I think one thing we can take from that, is that we have a chance on the financial side of things.

He says he has good friends and Chelsea, and they've been talking.

Therefore he MUST know what price they're looking for from the sale and the fact he hasn't said the possibility is a no goer, gives me hope a deal can be done there.

Maybe the main sticking point, is the player himself..

The quotes from the article are hardly solid. He says he'd love to keep Rom, to me that sounds like a dream more than a expectation. I suspect he'd love to have Messi.

Bills comments are the new "watch this space"

 

[GwladysBlue]

Even if we do sign Lukaku I hope Bill doesn't think that is all we want and tries to fool us out of the rest of the budget we should have.

He changed his Twitter name/handle whatever it's called from @romelulukaku17 to @romelulukaku9 yesterday as he is wearing 9 for Belgium, left his main profile pic as him at The Emirates in his Everton kit though and his sig is still "Belgian International of Everton Football Club" . Straw clutching here but you'd of thought if he was bothered enough to update his number that he'd have also done his picture and sig?

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure his Twitter handle has been @romelulukaku9 all year. I don't think he ever changed it.

Quotes from Bill regarding Rom and Barry staying, sounds positive on both fronts.

Blah blah blah.

Same guy who said we could have bought McCarthy without selling Fellaini. Don't trust a word that comes out of his mouth.

After reading that i now believe its Rom.

He will be seeking assurances that if he signs he will not be the only "big" name player to do so and the club will mount a serious top 3 challenge next season.

I think he will take Bobbies word and not the chairman or the club.

I feel like I am in an abusive relationship with him. Repeatedly let down, but still, deep down, want to continue to believe what he says.

Spot on this. I keep telling myself he's changed, that he wouldn't hurt me like he has before, it's all too familiar.

Ha ha I think the latter is called being an evertonian

And I cant bring myself to dislike the guy. Flaming weirdo me.

Kenwright can just say
''Oh well, we tried, everyone knows that'' as a defense now.
