Everton Agree Fee With Man Utd For Lukaku

[roydo]

Last few weeks have felt like a breath of fresh air.

Today and yesterday has felt very much like old BK Everton.

Hope we hold our nerve.

When was the last time we didnt get what we want out of selling a player?

Some genius managed to get Sland to cough up £4.5 m for McGready (sic) ffs.

Where's the Martial chatter came from? Any substance to it?

Nope just wishful thinking mate.

Phantom Menace though, so it's gone down several levels.

Any reference to Star Wars no matter how bad the film is a good thing.

Probably Arteta. We usually do very well when selling on apart from him.

 

[Kev The Rat]

In frank, I expect him to leave. There isn't much the club can do other than demanding more...he wants to go and won't sign a new contract. £75m is a bit low for me I expect £90m up front. The difference is the add ons and Rooney.

Rather sell him to Chelsea for a higher fee. Rooney actually worsens the overall deal considerably. Utd have done us twice here.

Definitely. Can't fault us usually.

This Rooney issue seems to be muddying the waters in this instance tho.

Why, nothings happened. There's been a poorly thought out press release by Utd and that's about it.

As far as I'm aware he still plays for Everton, £75m -£80m is a fair price if he does go for that.

Is it weird as I read that I had Liam Neeson and whattos voice in my head...

I had Jabba in my head for the Kenwright/whatto lines. Make of that what you will......

Sake mate, take a break.

United have said this "agreed deal", which actually isnt even agreed, has no Rooney content. Like, not even a little bit.

If only

They haven't taken anyone. They bought Rooney and they might be buying Lukaku.

One was a world record fee the other will be very close. Nobody was buzzing about selling him but some are happy to have him back.

We will get significantly more than the 60 million Barca reported paid (or the 70 million they lied about recieving) for the best striker in the world. This is for a lad they regard is inferior to Origi and Firmino. So fans feel we are getting a decent deal for a lad who won't sign a contract.

That's the nuance of the debate, of course it's obscured through the knuckle head Donald trump world of kopitism and alternative facts.

As a final aside maybe someone should remind him they let their star striker Michael Owen leave. Thankfully he joined a bigger club and would go on to win the league (had Gerrard also left think of the league medals he'd have, as opposed to having to borrow Owens or Rooneys to shine every now and then). He's now a club ambassador not just a regular player for Liverpool. A club ambassador, a fine reward for winning Manchester United league titles.

Let that sink in before you take their infantile jibes seriously.

We're dealing with the richest club in the world. 75m to me is low. 85-95 is what we need. Don't say not a penny under 100m and then accept 25% less. Shaft them for every penny.

Yes I agree but it seems Chelsea won't bid unless they sell Costa.

Rooney ha yea we are acting like a feeder club.

This Rooney issue has been created, then fertilised, in this thread. No where else.

Even United have gently said as much, apparently.
