Romelu Lukaku

[davek]

But he absolutely bullies the smaller sides, something we haven't had for a long time.

Ergo, flat-track bully.

Well yes, and that's a positive too.

How can you call Lukaku a flat track bully? He scores against all levels of teams.

Davek, I don't post very often but i'm going to use this one to call you a complete gobshite!

Ah...I found Dave's new fishing hole.

Well yes, and that's a positive too.

I didn't say it was a negative Davros.

 

[davek]

His last 3 goals have been put on a plate for him, it could be that in this team an Andy Johnson/Yak type player could get 20 goals.

Andy Johnson isn't on the same football planet as Lukaku.

Well you said flat track bully which is pretty negative...

The player decides at that point: that's what all the stuff midweek was designed iron out.

If there is a £70 million buy out clause in his contract he gets to decide. You can be wrong now and again you know.

It's a shame you didn't keep lurking if that's the only input you have.

This thread is an interesting look back
https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/would-you-pay-£24m-for-lukaku.68402/

I thought he was only worth 18-20 but would "overpay" up to 24 to get him but that would be the max - good job I wasn't in charge of transfers lol

Any extension of that will be there. And it wont hold him here past this summer neither.

It'll be a balance between paying us off well enough compo wise and low enough to not scare off the horses buyers-wise.

I think someone steps forward with £70M and it;s a done deal...and there will be half a dozen clubs at least prepared to pay that.

Therefore we create a bidding war 70 million too cheap imo for a young prolific goal scorer?

 

[ianefc]

Astounding. You're so bitter you cant enjoy an Everton win without attacking our former manager. Why bother supporting the club?

We can't win without you attacking the current one.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are often described as flat-track bullies. And no, that's not a comparison.

Deffo a negative.

I think his agent spotted the danger that this season would see him priced way up by Everton and he's moved to make sure there's a ceiling put on any fee that releases him.
