PogKaku
For me its the transfer fee. He's worth roughly half of what we're paying
Caftards seem to be really split with this one...interesting.
Everton telling TalkSport that no deal has been done.
Struggling to muster any enthusiasm for this one
Buying the best striker from the team that finished directly below you. Fergie-like. 
Will be interesting to see how he does.
My opinion is that there's very little between him and Morata and Lacazette. We've obviously paid a premium to get a Premier League-proven striker, and one who fits Mourinho's plans (comparing to Lacazette). At the end of the day, I think he'll do well, but probably not well enough to be called an indisputable success though.
That said, I'd absolutely love it if he's the one to shoot us back to the Premier League title. We need someone to bombard the lower level teams, and he has the potential to be that guy.

BOOM!!!!
It's confirmed!
Yeah because that's how a billion dollar business operates...
What do you think would be a fair price? £50? Are you kidding me? 24yo, homegrown, proven PL top 5 scorer. £75M is fair, not great but fair.75m
Not the one I wanted
Prove me wrong son.

Hopefully it bounces off in the net.
They've been trying to flog him to us for the last month and fleece the shit out of us while flirting with Mbappe.
Listening to talkshite right now and Jim White just said the deal still isn't done, so what's going on?
What did people expect the fee to be?
Everton signed him for £30m 3 years ago. Considering the way the market has changed over the past year and the fact that Lukaku has had 2 really excellent goal scoring season since Everton's purchase, the transfer fee seems about right imo.

Now the icing make a 150m bid for Mbappe!
WHAT HE F* happens with Morata deal?!
That's at 4am for me, feck me i'm going to have to wake up so early just for a match.
Just listening to Jim White on Talksport. Hes saying that his 'source' at Everton is saying that nothing has been agreed...
Yeah, the homegrown bit is huge.
No they won't they want Mbappe but PSG can offer more now. They need(ed) the Morata money and a spot for Mbappe.
We're a rich club, we can afford it. It's a bit crazy but we were always going to get fleeced when buying a striker75m
feck me. I hope this turns out good. Is he really worth 75 million?
We need to be realistic- he is not the best number 9 in the world. But realistically who was there to buy? Abuma? Morata? Lacazetta? I think we picked the best of the lot. Morata would have been second best choice
Scores 25 goals for Everton last season.
Some people on the CAF think he's not good enough...
My concern with him is he can be anonymous in some games and is a bit of a flat track bully but as that was our problem last season I'm actually very excited about this now
So Who will pay 90 m euros for morata now to fund mbappe for madrid ?
TalkSport haven't got a clue. Their "sources" will be morons on twitter.
Doesn't matter if he is 'shit' against the big teams, you can win the league by beating the little 'uns. He can savage them.
Lot of rumours saying negotiations broke down. Also the relationship between the two clubs has deteriorated. Also sure that the Rooney deal has helped this be swayed in our favour too.
If you've been following it you'll know what happened. He was never a first choice for them yet they wanted a shit ton of money for him. They were trying to fleece us.
Lukaku has a bit of 'first touch like Rooney' syndrome. Never looked at him and thought "hope United go all out for him" and for 75m? Jesus christ. Sure hope I am missing something significant about him. Scores goals but a player to take us to the next level? I just don't see it
Stopped reading at 'Jim White on talksport'.
Holy shit, that came out of nowhere! Massive fee though thankfully not £100 million. He's a good player, though I have reservations, I've faith he can do well for us.
BBC is normally the most accurate just short of official club confirmation
Nobody is really worth their price anymore. Just gotta deal with it.
They needed to balance the books with all their signings so far in the summer and 75m (possibly upfront) is too good of an offer to refuse. Hope we sign Fabinho along with him.
Buzzing!!!
Suspect Rooney is going there for nothing or next to nothing as part of this.

I don't understand why you are saying it then?
