Would you pay £24m for Lukaku?

[Khalekan]

Certainly possible but if the odds get really short there might be something to it. Moyes next utd boss went from pretty long odds to 1/4 very quickly last year, well before any thing was announced.

TBF, Moyes to succeed Fergie was an open secret for years before it came to pass.

I doubt he was ever "long odds" to take up the OT post.

As someone else said, a fifty quid bet brings the odds tumbling in these next manager or player's next club markets.

Some bookies actually start the rumours themselves to get the gullible to lump on.

I have no idea about this.

'Reports' in the 'Rumour Mill'.

Basically they nicked it from the BBC's rumour page who nicked it from Twitter who nicked it from Caught Offside who made it up.

lol lol lol

If we actually have £22m, are willing to spend it, the bid's been accepted, have just had him for a successful loan spell, improved him as a player, have a great manager that's been better for him than any other, can offer European football and a strong challenge for CL in the best league in the world and we get snubbed then I just don't know any more. LOL @ us.

I doubt we'd end up spending all of our money on Lukaku. I'd imagine if it's something like £22m then it'd be £15m or so up front, possibly less.

Liverpool were rumoured last week to have very, very close to signing Bony. Swansea this morning have said no bids have been made for him. So I wouldn't read too much into these "Lukaku to Liverpool" rumours. It was the same as Spurs when they sold Bale. They were linked with everyone, mainly because the had the money to pull off these deals, that makes these stories that little but more believable.

Never believe twitter rumours/Fb rumours or the classic "my source tells me" let's be real lukaku is still on holiday and Martinez has already said he'll be waiting a week or so before sorting the striker situation out so how can a deal already be done? It's crap just someone trying to make a ITK name from themselves as if it comes off "I told you so" if It doesn't people are too gutted to even remember some clown who claimed otherwise.

Years ago, someone who was meant to be ITK on the Villa forum said Moyes was nailed on to be the new manager after O'Neil left. A flood of bets from them lads took Moyes from 12-1 to 1-6.

It was made ever funnier when McCleish got the job. Lost money on a so called cert to be left with an even more dour Scot.

Thats soul destroying. Not sure whats worse seeing McCleish unveiled as manager or their signings this summer.

Lukaku's agents aren't on holiday mate. I'm not saying any more than that.

Ha, 'my sources'. Might as well say "the whole of the internet".

I'm going to dig out our 'disreputable sources' list....

Everyone loves to tell themselves that he's on holiday and not thinking about it. He knows what he wants to do next year. We're his back-up option, he knows that if all else fails, we'll still buy him.

I want to eat humble pie.
