That was Raoila who said that. He wanted Lukaku to sign a new deal so he could make even more money when Lukaku would still leave that summer.Lukaku never said the deal was 99.9% done.

Lukaku would have signed an agreement allowing his agent to speak on his behalf. If Riola said 99.9% then it's the same as Lukaku saying it.

That whole episode, in hindsight, was an exercise to pile pressure on the club to include a buy out clause that the agent approved of so he could make a bundle when it was exercised 6 months later by United.

And was probably not that different an amount than what we actually got for him. Could have got another good season out of him as well.

And Lukaku didn't want to sign that deal which I think makes him kind of an exception in this modern football world where literally everything revolves around money. He could have signed it and made even more money his last months at Goodison.
I'm not saying he's an angel but he's definitely a good guy with a lot of passion for the game. And it disgusts me to hear Moshiri utter this casual racist talk and people trying to make excuses for it.

Well we will never know, but I would wager that the price he wanted in there was well below what we got. He works for United after all.

He's very smart, just not street smart. I think you're right about why he said it though, but, though it seems unlikely, it would be excellent if it turned out to be true !

Kids from Liverpool are street smart !!!

The buyout would have been for last summer.

Unless Farhad spills the beans on it. Would be great if he did a weekly podcast on the comings and goings at EFC. @Groucho could kick it off with detail of his weekend

Haha, Lukaku is now considering legal action - https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...rhad-moshiri-voodoo-manchester-united-everton

No mention if he will be slaughtering a chicken and studying the entrails to guide his decision.

Does this sort of thing happen at other clubs????

Exactly plus it was the right time. He gave us longer than I expected. Stones and Barkley were ungrateful [Poor language removed].

he s an absolute shithouse with nothing on his agenda other than self promotion, he repeatedly chose to belittle us at every opportunity whilst under contract to us, Moshiri is simply telling us how it is dealing with the likes of him and his supersize agent,
don't like it? don't go
