Lukaku

[Groucho]

The plucky little Everton of recent times has gone.

This says we want to be at the very top again. Where we should've been anyway.

We're back, IMO.

@D410 is it safe to go out and buy some fabrics now?

Hope he improves on last season, we need him to if were going to do anything.

I accomplished very little work today. Damn time difference.

Made the mistake(?) of checking in just before bed here (midnight here-1pm UK) the last two nights. Cue lots of coffee the next day.

Basically, it says 'Once Everton has touched you, nothing will be the same'.

Yewtree alert.

 

[micknick]

He's ours, it wasn't a dream!

just mention the horse

tell him about andy carroll FFS

They are vicious creatures them lot, and what happens when vicious creatured are threatened? They snap and go on the attack, which is exactly what is happening here it seems.

They just cant bare the fact we have signed Lukaku and they have signed someone called Orgy labelled POSSIBLY "the next Lukaku"

Talk Sport agrees with him mate.

Just lol

Not biased of course but within minutes of us signing him (I switched across when the feed died in the hope of hearing the radio questions), they had that up...

Their conclusion on whether Lukaku was a decent value signing... is err all about Liverpool and their quality signings... including dismissing Caroll.

talkSPORT verdict
If we keep all of the factors mentioned above in mind, understanding the wild variations in transfer fees is made slightly easier. Daniel Sturridge may have proven to be twice the player Andy Carroll is, but the £23m between their respective transfer fees is easy to understand if we consider that Carroll’s form was significantly better than Sturridge’s in the seasons prior to the move, Sturridge was signed early in a transfer window while Carroll moved in the dying minutes, and finally, the selling club (Chelsea) was happy to see Sturridge go, while Newcastle had no need to offload Carroll at that particular moment in time, but Liverpool seemed desperate to bring in an additional striker. As for Romelu Lukaku, is £28m a good valuation for Everton or Chelsea? Time will tell.

Woke up to this.

Chelsea dont sell good players on,

So you agree Sturridge isnt good then???

No Reply as yet!!

Saying that:
Everton is where he belongs;
Everton is where he feels at home;
He had already decided for himself to go back to Everton even before transferes of Costa and Drogba;
he's 21 and in need of a stable career, and he wants to win titles and help his teammates

100%

Although in true Everton fashion we'll make all these awesome signings then struggle in the league under the burden of increased expectations...

 

[quasi modo]

I love Everton, love Martinez and Lukaku.

 

[youngblue66]

We signed him on a Wednesday and my heart stood still.
He's a Blue, Rom, Rom. He's a Blue, Rom,Rom.
Someone got the money and his name is Bill
He's a Blue, Rom,Rom. He's a Blue Rom, Rom. ( Apologies to the Crystals )

Mourinho says he lacks motivation for competition at Chelsea.

I see differently. I see a 21 year old lad who want to play football not sit on his arse collecting huge wages at a CL club. His motivation is playing football every week. Too many young lads want to pick splinters out of their arses at the bigger clubs rather than play.

Good on Rom, he'll be worshipped here.

No way lid, last time i checked that was called Sunderland fashion. Or Spurs fashion.
