Moshiri On Lukaku Contract Refusal

[allen]

Balls well and truly slapped on the chopping board by Moshiri here. That's some confidence.

 

[bol-uk]

Right people, remember when his agent said it was 99.99999% done and you all believed it.

Don't get taken in by this statement as well.

Stop and think for once.

Right lads, remember when Moomin stated Rom must be off despite what his agent and our chairman have said, don't get taken in by this.

WAIT AND SEE BEFORE CRYING

 

[The Cowboy]

He will never be happy here as Everton are not an established Champions League side.

Does make me laugh though, the whole 'I want to play CL' business. I wonder how enriching an experience Spurs' CL involvement was this year?

 

[MikeH72]

The main thing in our favour is that Rom won't want to remain on the wages he's on for another 2 years when he could double them. I wonder if they're just haggling over the buyout clause.

They are apparently. We wanted the release clause to be £90m which is absolute lunacy if we're being honest. £70m is fair for all parties.

 

[Kenshin]

Nice short snappy statement.

Suggests a shrug of the shoulders and not a panic over the situation. The media wanted us to flap about and statements like this sounds like we are in control of the situation.

I've never said he was off.

His agent has told the media one thing but obviously been up-to something else.

As for Moshiri statements, did you honestly believe the McCarthy is part of the family one? Do you honestly believe currently we don't have an issue with the player and agent?

If he doesn't sign then he will be sold this summer. Simple

It's all on Lukaku now, he might be dreaming of playing at man u with his Bessie mate progba and 250k a week.

We will move on as we do

His bessie mate Pogba the flop.

Standard response, not like they are going to admit to issues.

Yeah, probably the various conditions it can be activated.
For me it's got to be world record fee. His value for us will drop by the end of next transfer window, so if he has not signed he will be sold prior to it ending.

Progba went for 90 million. Prices have gone up. Man u made a profit of 515 million in 2016.

No one honestly knows what's going on now mate , and that how it will go untill the summer now

 

[BiggyRat]

Sell him to Leicester if he wants CL.

Can't compare everyone to Pogba, on the contrary you could say Suarez went for £70m. United and Mourinho would not pay £90m for Lukaku.

Then he doesn't go. You can compare to progba as man u have set the bar. The rs were ripped off with Suarez plus he was 5 years older.

Call it what it is, the Runners up league, and it starts getting less attractive.

Can't get my head around the reward mentally of thinking that 'transferring to' a runners up league club, is any way better than contributing towards 'becoming' a runners up league club.

I suppose it's part of the instant gratification mentality that comes hand in hand with earning - sorry - being handed a decade's wages each week.

This has been my thought since news broke yesterday and these words from Moshiri seem to imply that alls not done and dusted.

I'm not sure how I feel tbh. I really want Rom to stay but I also dont want the club to roll over and give in to demands.

Is there a compromise in there sonewhere?. Acceptable to both parties. I hope so but if not sorted by the summer we need to move on.

One player doesnt mean the end of Everton. Atletico manage these situations every 2/3 years. Look how Spurs have evolved after losing Bale.

Whatever the outcome Everton are still on the up. Don't allow this potential setback to let the doom mongerers take over again.
