Romelu Lukaku

[Shibbywiggles]

I think time is on his side for that bumper pay deal

there's always the real risk of a big injury for athletes though. Imagine turning down our five year deal and running down his contract and then suffering a big injury so no one will take a chance on him...

Has he gone?

Which is the same argument to engineer a transfer

...and Lukaku loses a fortune in wages by sitting on his existing contract for a further 12 months. You think something has to give.

Loses a fortune in wages? 12 months at say £50k a week more is what worth £2.6 million. After tax/ nic, agents fees etc amounts to around £ 1 million. Huge money to you and me but to a young footballer not that much.

Fast forward 12 months a big fat juicy loyalty payment from Everton which will almost certainly be a feature in his current contract. He will choose where he goes and a major factor in that will be his new wage and a massive signing on fee.His destination may well be to the club bidding the most but there is no guarantee of that for he will hold the whip hand

My guess he would be looking for a wage of at least £200k a week net around or around £2.5 million a year more than he is on now . He will get 5% of the transfer fee, a signing on fee of several millions so yes in the short term it will cost him but in the medium to long term it certainly won't.

No one will bid for him, guaranteed.

I think someone will bid, but not for more than £65-70m.

Are you going to claim that Madrid didnt want them once they stay?

Real want De Gea from ManU.

Hazard is crocked. Next.

Sort of

I am mildly amused that the one time you'd expect him to be mouthing off while on international duty would be this time.

And not a peep!

Of course!!

If he goes I want a player swap + money.

That's the only way we'll get a decent player it looks like.

Telegraph running with Morata to United.

Chelsea the only club left really, but will he want to go and compete with Costa?

Lukaku has his heart set on London and Chelsea again according to many. He's better than Costa and will start games if he is fit.

Lukaku is going - I have already accepted this. He is too good for Europa League and we don't look like getting CL footy anytime soon.

Should be able to upgrade from smarties to revels on that.
