Would you pay £24m for Lukaku?

a friend from another message board who knows people - so we'll see - I'm sure he heard something and knows people but this is everton, and there is big money we supposedly never have involved plus the transfer window isn't about to shut in 3.2 seconds so I'm conflicted.

Normally I wouldn't post rumors, but the world is bumming me out today and this might be good news so there you go.

I've made a note to come back and kiss your face off if it happens. Along with everyone else peddling this rumour.

Demba Ba going to Besiktas, and I can see Torres being offloaded this window, leaving only Moses and Lukaku as back ups for Costa at Chelsea.
I can see Rom making plenty of appearances for them next season.

I really want to believe it, i really do but my god !

Its like we have got bored of the Besic rumour and are looking for another high. Lukaku will do.

i think they may just be the ones interested in cavani. or possibly reus.

They'll buy Cavani, keep Torres and promote Bamford if need be.

Let's hope they do. We could only get Lukaku if he is surplus, got a feeling Mourinho have talked him into staying though.

That Joe Wall fella on twitter seemed convinced earlier. Telling people to "wait & see" and generally being like a "when have I ever been wrong before" kind of way about it..

Meh.

In July last year Chelsea only had Torres, Ba, and Lukaku. They then sent Lukaku out on loan and got a 34 year old Eto'o in instead.

Don't get why people think Lukaku will be any more trusted now than he was a year ago. If he couldn't get starts when his competition was Torres and Ba he's screwed with Costa there.

No amount of fretting will make him sign for us or anyone else.

Relax lads, we might live through it.

He's close to the players, more so Mirallas.

If we sign Lukaku then it would be the most significant signing in my memory.

Groucho · July 17, 2014

I want him to sign, but I do wish some of our members would see through some of these charlatans on twitter.

He's "never usually" wrong. So it's on.

I want this to be correct, but beware twitter.

It's the land that thought forgot.

Mr. F · July 17, 2014

Obviously want him to sign as well. Just got the feeling it's not happening. Then again, I had that feeling when Barry was rumoured in and didn't sign for days. I just need to be patient, many weeks until deadline day.
