Maths. There are more than one form of mathematics.Poor at math there
two experienced pros, would not be bad, losing Lukaku to United would be very disappointing,Tell your source the days of vying for mid table mediocrity at Everton are over please.

I really can't see this mate. The negotiation process for Lukaku is going to be complex, withholds of teams involved. Likewise there will be no shortage of takers for Carrick (who is out of contract). Finally any Rooney deal would be a major headache due to his wages. I imagine any fee United could command will be written off in exchange for Wayne cancelling his contract and given to him as a loyalty bonus. 3 deals with such complexity I simply can't see working in 1 package.
The sort of deal I can imagine would be something like Lukaku 1 way and a combination of Rashford/Lingard/Depay coming here on loan for a season or possibly a permanent. I have thought for a while Lingard and Rashford have Martinez loan signings written all over them!
If United had any sense they would look to move Depay to us having seen the work Martinez has done with Barkley/Deulofeu. He knows how to improve flair players and delay would fit right in and improve his consistency.
I should qualify this by saying we should move heaven and earth to keep Lukaku. He is bordering on world class already and if he isn't yet he will be soon. I think within 2 years he'll be the best striker in the world.
However if he is convinced he wants to go we should be looking for upwards of 60 million for him. No striker has his consistent scoring record in the league over the last 4 years (barring Aguero, and what price would he be if fully fit and 22?). You are buying a guy who will guarantee you 15 goals a season playing for sides who 3 out of 4 seasons will be in the bottom half.
The only silver linings we can get from it, is that Lukaku was fantastic when we signed him, but we have also developed him. We will need to develop a ready made replacement. We also create a lot of chances for our strikers and I don;t think there will be a shortage wanting to play for an attacking Everton side.
I have felt since we signed him that while he is world class, he doesn't fit out style effectively.Under Martinez we need a striker who links play, good first touch and will come short. Rom can do this but it isn't his strong suit. We have always been left between playing to Lukaku's strengths and developing a team to suit Martinez's/the teams strengths.
With 60+ million we can go and get some serious replacements in. I really like the guy Malik at Ajax and signing him alongside a Lacazette would be a dream come true while punting Kone. Thats the kind of ambition we need to show in replacing these players. Failing Lacazette (or perhaps instead of Malik if we get him) Embolo would be another fantastic signing.
At times this season Rom has looked like he wanted away. In the end if the right bid comes in and he wants away then sometimes you have to let go and look to re-invest prudently.
Can people please for the love of god stop talking about swap deals? THEY DON'T HAPPENWayne plus Carrick plus X million equals Rom to Man Utd.
Id sign both exactly the right profile of players age style of play etc. Also get rid of kone that leaves 3 including niasse only risk is 3 players with no real premier league experience.I like Cedric bakambu at Villarreal been scoring a few goals in the league and in Europe this season, lazion looking at him for 25m Euros, would much rather we looked at him than embolo!
