Lukaku

[Kev The Rat]

you have to wonder what Bill has done to finance this deal - didnt think there was anything left to sell off at the club???

This is so, so awesome. Wow...

 

[Whitty]

I dont know that it is the going rate tbh. I would say that is 5/6 mill over the market rate.

Based on......

Lallana to Liverpool?
McCormack to Fulham
etc etc

It's called Fellaini.

Its amazing no one pays attention to the FFP lectures.

Well over-priced for where he's at in his development and potential. I just don't see him as ever being worth £28 million.

Even at the rumoured £24 million, I was umming & arring. Got to trust Mr Martinez, I suppose.....

Have to be. But even so, we've just exchanged Fellaini for Lukaku... and I'm quite happy with that deal.

Yes, i don't see the problem. Football money will continue inflating and Rom's value will go the same way. He has the potential to be worth at least £50m easily soon.

Also, consider our resources! The majority of our starting XI would, in today's market, be able to sell for close to or way over £10m.

yeah, maybe you're right.

Considering he is the third highest PL league scorer in the last 2 years and is only 21, £28 million is bang on.

Let's assume we get 10 years out of him, that's £2.8 million a year.

I'm well happy.

£28m is worth spending if he can bang at least 20 goals a season for us

Meh, don't track back enough

 

[Kev The Rat]

the 28m has to be taken in the context of can we make any more major signings between now and next summer as a result. if the answer to that question is no, then its a risky move tbh.

Good cover for Kone!

Absolutely over the moon, never thought it would happen!

We signed Lukaku. We actually signed Lukaku. Like, proper signed. None of that loan guff.
