*Shakes head* Everton again.

[Sputnik1]

Oh I hope they don't give him so much stick it affects his form badly. 

[Boss]

I'll never fulfil my career goals at Everton - Romelu Lukaku admits.

 

Haha preach brother preach.

[deiseach]

I know this is not the thread to say this, but they're entitled to be pissed. He really hasn't spared the horses. Is it too much for professional sportsmen to at least pay lip service to the notion that they owe something to the fans?

 

Okay, outbreak of reasonableness contained. Normal service resumes in 3, 2, 1...

 

[Harry Squatter]

Living in the past is one of the things they accuse us of, so it's nice that their best player has come out and accused them of it.

[Faustus]

Personally, I think it's a disgraceful way to treat supporters of the first club in the country to have undersoil heating installed.

[Paco]

Saw something yesterday about this derby being the most partisan ever because of the away ticket allocation not being in line with the increase in capacity at anfield. It said the last time it was this bad was after stadia reduced their capacities to become all seater. Peter Robinson was quotes as saying 'we were the first club to host a derby after the ruling'

 

I just thought oh Peter, you don't know your history.

[Paulie Dangerously]

They're worried they'll sign a big lump to replace him but pretty sure I saw them anounce they've got one in already

agreed, quick how he forgets that new boiler they got installed before christmas to play alongside him wasn't it. 

 

On a serious note, he's saying what Torres said about FSG. Loads of promise about money being no object and  competing with anyone etc, but failing to deliver when it actually matters.

 

Im surprised how the EV aren't seeing the similarities here considering how much they know about our every move.

Nil Satis Nisi Optimum For Lukaku

[G Richards]

He's being brutal in his honesty. He could have given the toffees a bit of toffee while he still exited. Everyone knows the score and it's always difficult if you are the one who is being dumped. Lukaku could have said the equivalent of, "It's not you it's me" but instead he's saying, "And another thing, you're ugly, and I've got an offer from a prettier girl."

[deiseach]

I think he's only just found out about the cuckoo clock.

[Oh Buoy]

We should offer him a loan just to witness the levels of fume.

 

Genuinely don't know why football clubs don't have more fun. Wenger tried it with the £1 and everyone lapped it up.

[Unrighteous]

well... someone had to play for that fancy new cladding on their decrepit stands that they're going to be stuck in for eternity

[Paulie Dangerously]

He's just been going through Man City's transfer windows from when they were taken over by the Arabs to demonstrate that "it doesn't happen overnight" and reckon it'll be three big transfer windows before the Moshi cash gets spent properly 

[Tony Moanero]

We should offer him a loan just to witness the levels of fume.

 

He wants to win trophies.

[Dave D]

You know who'd be an excellent signing for them? Olivier Giroud

 

I get you...

 

Weaken both Arsenal and Everton in a single transfer

[Dave D]

In fairness, the day he said that didnt we sign one of the best players in our history?

I like Carroll, but I don't rate him that highly.

Koeman criticises Lukaku and warns Everton will not be held to ransom

• Everton manager unhappy with Romelu Lukaku interview and may take action

• Koeman tells Ross Barkley to sign new contract or be sold

[cloggypop]

It's probably a bit difficult for Koeman who took a sideways move from Southampton to double his wages to sell it to them really.

[TheHowieLama]

Exactly - Koeman has said worse - or better - depending on your POV

[G Richards]

It's probably a bit difficult for Koeman who took a sideways move from Southampton to double his wages to sell it to them really.

 

 

Exactly. Koeman is on a career path to a big job, assuming he keeps progressing. He will leave Everton at some point, maybe for someone like Arsenal or perhaps even Barcelona. 

[Pidge]

Rumour is they were offering him a £140k contract, to be honest - that's not the going rate for a striker of his ability.  Shite as it is (in terms of modern football excess), if they had the funds, they'd be paying him market rate and he'd be staying.

[Sputnik1]

They want him to go, he's the summer transfer kitty, as is Barkley. 

[3 Stacks]

Matt Law of the Telegraph is saying that Chelsea are weighing up a 100m offer for both Lukaku and Barkley.
