It's not like I was always against this transfer, or anything like that. I want him to got to ManUtd because that is just another 15million put back into Chelsea's pocket.

Danny 2,206 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 There's a world of difference between us but when we had Scott Hogan he was our only goal threat, we sold him and people questioned how we'd stay competitive. We reinvested the money in the same window, didn't focus everything around one player and all of a sudden we were scoring as many and if not more goals without him. Lukaku hasn't been a world beater, end of the day Everton finished 7th last season so if they can reinvest the money then I don't see why they can't improve on him as a team.

Harry 1,437 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Everton have usually been petty shrewd in the transfer market. And Koeman is the right guy to use a bucket of money wisely. As long as they don't end up paying over the odds for the new recruits they should come out in a good position but realistically it would be some effort to move up on last years finish if theres major rework of the first 11.

Administrator Stan 18,384 Posted July 9, 2017 Administrator Share Posted July 9, 2017 how much did Chelsea bid, if anything, for Lukaku? Have Man Utd properly 'gazumped' Chelsea here or did Lukaku always have his eyes set on Utd and just waited for a bid to be made. Did Lukaku get on well with Jose when the latter was at Chelsea?

They matched the deal but United are paying the agent more than Chelsea would. Lukaku has said a few times that there was never any problem with him and Mourinho, he just left to play.

The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I think most people preferred United in the last third of the season when they weren't so reliant on one forward. I presume because of the way Lukaku has played at Everton this move signifies they'll be building the team around him which is a shame in a way as I was hopeing to see United play a system which can get the best out of both Martial and Rashford.

Harry 1,437 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Koeman: "Wayne, of course, is still competitive - he will be a competitor always - and he wants to play at the highest level that is possible for him." what is that level?... and am i the only one reading that quote getting the impression Koeman wasn't exactly barring up over this transfer?

He wasn't a 'top' target but he did want him here. He was gushing over him in March when we allowed the Sky cameras to spend the day at the training ground and has done a few times since that.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,662 Posted July 10, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted July 10, 2017 Genuine question, was there this much doubt around Liverpool resigning Fowler in his later years, United bringing Scholes out of retirement, Arsenal getting Henry back on loan a few years ago?

SirBalon 2,692 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Even though strange that Rooney is going back to Everton for practical reasons. I agree that it's not strange that he's returned and don't know what all the fuss is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney sells papers.... but same as all of those others you listed... there has been way more pressure on rooney. Thats the main thing that's different. And That he was getting played significantly more minutes than his performances deserved for the last couple of year which led to a savage overcorrection in how people view his footballing abilities.

All of those players were brought back inexpensively when their respective clubs were in a tight spot because of injuries and had little opportunity to sign anyone else. The only way it isn't different is if you completely ignore the context that made those signings necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
