Lukaku. Yes or no

[Tin-Tin]

Left out of todays squad, idiot

His combined transfer fees must be massive when you think about it.

Must be around 280m in transfer fees I reckon.

One very happy agent then.

Nearer £320m? Pretty sure I read that he is one of the most highest combined fees players ever.

Who was the most out of interest ?
Ibrahimovic ?

 

[Jeff Jones]

Not even in the squad today

That doesn't make sense. They have more chance of winning that game if Lukaku is involved. Even if he's just off the bench.

Tuchel cutting off his nose and spiting his face.

Some serious dollar that. But the fella can slot so no surprise. Top slotters are worth a premium.

Looks like his rat of an agent has moved his client on one too many times this time and it's come back to bite him on the arse.

Not a clue. It was a piece about his move to Chelsea, and his combined transfer fees.

edit. Either way, there cant be many who have cost more.

You could argue that the transfer fee system leads to a massive incentive incompatibility between top players and agents in football.

On this side of the pond, where compensation is a percentage of signing bonus and salary, the agent has an incentive to maximize the player's career income. For the players at the absolute top end of the scale in football, the agent makes the most money by repeatedly unsettling the player and reaping as many cuts of transfer fees as possible while the player is at his peak, to the detriment of his career wages.

He just switched agents from the uber rat of an agent (Raiola), IIRC.

Was that after his move or before his move to Chelsea mate?

Looks like it was a bit further back than I thought - it was after the United move.

[EverTheOptimist]

I'm stunned it took 12 months for a Chelsea player to fall out with Tuchel.

Get the Popcorn ready.
