Romelu Lukaku

[Groucho]

I stopped listening to Adrian Durham in 2005.

I give it five mins then turned it off,amazes me he went through doggy spell a few weeks back and nothing about selling him,he scores four all of a sudden he's going to Chelsea for 60 mill,or anyone in champions league.

Evertonians are saying it, not sure how anyone can be critical of a neutral media broadcaster whilst letting Evertonians off with doing the club down on the regular. That's beyond me.

His agent has been praising us because he knows we are a cash cow now who want to go places. Having a good relationship with him and his clients is a good thing for us.

Yeah, this. If he gets in on the ground floor with a good relationship then there's a lot of money to be made over the next ten years. More than screwing us over to force a move for Rom.

Does my head in that.

It's the 100% assumption that is very disrespectful to us.

Because the media is only actually bothered by about 5-6 clubs in reality mate, and they wonder why some footy fan channels are drawing bigger viewing figures than BT/Sky sport shows these days,

Only type of industry i can think of where they actually actually don't realise that they are appealing to the minority of the viewers/listeners, yes the top 6 probably do have the most/greater number of fans individually - but as a whole the top 6 is a very small percentage of the overall number of footy fans - and by appealing to them - they effectively alienate the rest of the supporters from other clubs.

As a business model it is a massively short term vision.

But it's easy for me to ignore it, purely because you can see the absolute flaws whenever they do something like this (can't wait to see Baines running out alongside Coleman for man united next weekend, or Lukaku playing for Wolfsburg, super sub Barkley coming on the last ten minutes for Wanyama at Spurs, or the most laughable one seen recently - a link of Holgate on loan to Leeds next season ^^)

Everton fans might be saying he is going to go,but they aren't broadcasting it on the radio and being disrespectful to the club.

They aren't Neutral by a long shot mate

Point remains. If our own fans are saying it, then what hope do we have?

tbh, globally, I suspect the top 6 or 7 clubs have more fans than all the other clubs in all our leagues combined.
Agreed that's no reason to ignore the massive amounts of other fans though

As if TS are arsed about fans feelings, they deal in the wind ups to get callers (that's how pathetic they still are)

I know its "just social media" but here's a comparison with Man Utd for example:

Facebook likes: 72.5million for UTD's page, 2.9m for Everton's
Twitter followers: Everton: 1.03 Million, Man Utd: 10.1 million

for news outlets Chelsea, Arsenal, UTD, RS bring in the clicks/views/calls etc

its a business

I know that mate,but that's not won't you were talking about.

We've already got over talking about his 4 goals at the weekend and already discussing who we will be selling him to in the summer?
Look what Everton has done to you all.

 

[bluejim95]

One of the papers, might have been the express, claiming he signed a deal in December at £100,000 a week.

Saying he's off to Chelsea for £80m as Conte wants him. Interesting as some of the papers are linking Conte with a return to Italy.

Thing about Chelsea is they seem to low ball and use the express as their mouth piece. If I supported that shower, I'd be embarrassed by the express, all they do is make Chelsea look stupid.

If Chelsea are the favourites, then we got nothing to worry about as they won't pay our valuation. Even saw a piece on him going to the rs. Amazing what one good game does hey!

Love you Rom.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Give him all the money
