Parsley Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Arsenal should really be going back in for Remy imo. Would fit perfectly into that 4-3-3 they play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Jealous as fuck of Everton making this signing and having such a top class manager like Martinez whilst we're stuck with our fraud. Aye. They're not afraid to make a big signing every now and again. The chances of making a profit on a £20m+ signing are too slim for our dear leader.

KaKa Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Lukaku is a bit hit and miss over a season. If he can sort out his consistency he'll be unstoppable. Not surprising considering his age really. He'll definitely improve, particularly because he will have the pleasure of working with such an intelligent, positive manager, who will never put him down, or allow any pressure to get to him.

Playing in a settled environment for a long period will only help him. He's done brilliantly well to have succeeded at 2 very different PL teams at his age.

Guest palnese Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Lukaku is an absolute monster, but I've never been too impressed with his technique. He's got a long way to go, but he will certainly improve under Martinez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Lukaku is an absolute monster, but I've never been too impressed with his technique. He's got a long way to go, but he will certainly improve under Martinez. My feeling as well. I don't think he's all that yet, but under Martinez I do expect him to improve a lot.

colinmk Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Jealous as f*** of Everton making this signing and having such a top class manager like Martinez whilst we're stuck with our fraud. Hiring Martinez Barkley emerging and signing on long term Loaning and then signing Lukaku long term Like friggin buses ... Holding onto Baines too last season. Showing you don't have to sell all your quality players if you are showing the right ambition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would do well to learn how to play with his back to goal. That's the biggest difference between Drogba and these young guns like Bony and Lukaku for me. Neither of them seem that comfortable playing with their back to goal. The difference in the world cup was noticeable and defenders hated the physical stuff opening up space for his team mates. They both have time though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Good to see some ambition from Everton and good luck to them. They're certainly showing us up. Looking at the Southampton prices, you'd have to think they could get a mint for some of their players. Lukaku played 500 more minutes than Remy last season, over 20% longer, so Remy for the price the CL clubs can get him for is a bargain and a half.

Deuce Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Being reported that it's a £25 million deal for Lukaku who'll be on 75k a week. Fee seems a tad high imo but great signing. They'll sell him back for double that in 3 seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Some part of me feels Chelsea are mad to let him go but if they want to challenge the likes of Real Madrid/Barcelona, Lukaku may not be the right person. They can just buy him back anyway if he becomes truly world class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaron Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 24M raising to 30 according to the Telegraph! thats frustrating.....

Wullie Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 "I think he is a player a lot of clubs will be looking at in the summer. I don't think Everton will get a free run at him" "At the moment, it is a bit like we are with Loic (Remy). It is a situation that Everton would love to keep him, as we would with Loic, and those questions are really out of Everton's and our control." It was out of Everton's control right up until the point they decided to buy him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'm not really sure how anyone can say they overpaid for him. A proven PL goal scorer at 21 years old who's only going to improve and whose value will only increase over time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 It's a lot of money but coincidentally Sky have just given them a lot of money. It's a wise investment for all of the reasons already given and coupled with Barkley signing on again means they've had an excellent few days. Howard, Jagielka, Barkley and Lukaku is a great spine to have running throughout the team. Throw in Baines, Coleman, Mirallas and a very astute manager in the dugout and there's lots to look forward to if you're an Evertonian. Bastards.

But as I have said before money only matters at the top level nowadays if the player flops. Which I can't see why he will so doubt they will care if he's over or under priced.

Imagine having a 21 year old who was considered raw and inconsistent, and who still managed to score the amount of goals he did. Hell of an investment. No question about it. Let's see what he does now he knows he is a full member of Everton, and can really settle in, and be involved with them from the outset. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
