Interesting alternative slant on the where-would- Everton-be without-Lukaku's-goals argument..

I can only imagine that she was, nobody that sophisticated could possibly be American

Bill still meticulously searching for the best deal on biros by the looks of it.

Every week we seem to have a rumour, Jim White, his mad agent bloke, saying he's 99% certain to sign a new deal.

Any actual chance that it might happen?

Doesn't mean much if he does sign . Just means we can sell him for more tbh. Contracts mean jack these days

Think putting us in a strong selling position is pretty important. I'm that respect I dont think this contract "means jack"

Given that everyone has heard Lukaku's many comments bout wanting to play in the champions league and win trophies, its pretty certain that the new contract that he signs will have a release clause.

It guarantees Everton a minimum transfer fee, and avoids a long drawn out saga. If Chelsea want him, Everton will say, meet the buy out clause - end of discussion. Hopefully that allows any deal to happen quickly, allowing us time to find replacements.

Not sure how it works if someone meets the buy-out clause a day before the window closes and Lukaku wants to go. There must be a provision in the contract to avoid that happening.

Hopefully there will be some sort of deadline date in which the buy out clause needs to be met, maybe 31st July or something like that. There certainly was for Fellaini which United failed to meet, and ended up paying something like £9m over the buy out clause

On reflection Dave, that final broad brush comment is rather deragotory and many of our American fan base will likely be offended by that... an apology might be in order.

And whilst we don't (normally) do razzmatazz announcements, at least we are getting improved media interest on the back of the perceived arrangement between Farhad Moshiri and Jim White.

Yes, it's not traditional Everton but, the times as Bob Dylan said, are a-changing.

I'm not sure too many septic tanks would take what I said as an insult.

If they do I apologise.

If this is going to be announced this week, I can see it being announced when the media are here for RKs press conference.

Just one more rerun of Joseph's Technicolour Dreamcoat to watch and this will all be done.

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let @LinekersLegs go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you
