Romelu Lukaku

[Goat]

Rom destroying brasses.

Not a chance in hell he signs a new contract btw.

His agent is taking us for a long ride in the countryside.

This fella knows his stuff for sure.

Impossible to replace.

Absolutely gutted.

I hope you're wrong and we sign 2-3 players who can replace the goals between them, but it's going to be difficult

I just sent him a tweet in disgust the little judas

Lets sign a proper English forward, tired of these money grabbing foreign pansies.

Totally calm about this. Win Win situation for Everton

Plot thickens. Esk now says reports are likely true.

Expect Rom to sign within the hour.

Talk about selective.. You forget about Gana?

Yes mate, forgot about the bloke who I could've googled to see he had the best stats of any DM in the league behind Kante.

High powered media savvy agent in hardball negotiating tactic shocker. Come on now.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Be funny after all this if he signed a new deal.

This media release has been coordinated this evening to pile on pressure for Everton to agree terms for a min release - which they've been pushing back against for a while.

Just my opinion, anyway.

Can we open a Lukaku replacement thread please?

Realistically how much are we looking at getting for him, about £70m?

2 Yannick Bolasies.

This season or next season, with or without a release clause he was going to go.

The problem is we cannot replace him directly with an equivalent level player like Icardi/Bellotti/Aubameyang or even a Lacazette as they want & get CL teams.

We need to find another 18-20 year old with potential and a solid established second tier player. We'll also need to try to add more goals from wide & midfield to compensate.

The risk is if this makes Ross less prepared to stay. We can potentially deal with losing a Rom and f Walsh/Koeman are as advertised but if we lose Rom and Ross...

It is when we get his replacements lol and I guess kenwright can't exactly pocket the change now

 

[ijjysmith]

Uh

Oh

Spaghettios

And is also in your avatar.

The Naisse thread is open mate!!

Didnt see this coming, havent heard the full or real story, but it sound like he is taking it for granted that a CL side want him and are willing to pay what we want, im gutted, least we know now we have to look for a replacement now and not with 10 days of the window left

Good point. I'd be after Dembele from Celtic. If we sell him to United I'd be all over Rashford as part of the deal. If Chelsea the same with Tammy Abraham. We're not going to attract the finished article so let's do the same we did with Rom. We're an attractive destination for young players.
