I'm glad we don't stop at little things like agent's cut while signing players. It still hurts that we missed out on Hazard due to a 6m agent fee. This is the reality and agents are big part of it. Just deal with it or lose out.

I wondered that. I thought maybe I had gone into hibernation at some point.
He's a blueist.
Some people just love to pump up the prices. I won't be surprised if the price of 115 mil suddenly pops out.
My reality is we took your best player and gave you our worst player.
The money involved is irrelevant as i am not paying it and you personally aren't recieving it.
The money we've spent makes zero difference to us. What does matter is we've bought your best player, and we've given you one of our worst. Don't know what you have to be happy about.
A bromance it seems. Video on social media shows how close these two are. It can onl be good for our team.
£150 million is a bit steep and that price tag will hang over him but I think he'll make good on it
Hope One day Everton returns for Fellani too.
Schneiderlin, Rooney, Keane.
Didn't want, valued and nothing and didn't have. In that order.
£25m for the 'didn't want'
£10m for the 'valued at nothing'
£7.5m owed for the 'didn't have'.
Could argue that in 2017 Everton are paying us (indirectly in one case) £42.5m for players we no longer wanted.

Lukaku will be like a Drogba signing for Mourinho. He is quite similar to Drogba style, big, fast, strong, and powerful shot.
Pogba was a reported £100-120m.
Oh, I'm definitely happy!
Nah he'll cope well with being football's first £300m player
Just seen this on twitter, is this true?
Why are we spending half a billion on Lukaku?

Mourinho's insistence on buy-back clauses
Chelsea didn’t insert one in Lukaku’s contract when he permanently left for Everton. What a great piece of work by Mourinho that was.

"Romelu Lukaku is set to have a medical with Manchester United after they agreed to pay Everton an initial £75m for the Belgium striker.
The deal for the 24-year-old, initially reported by BBC Sport on Thursday, is believed to include £15m in add-ons."
I imagine we will probably lay out the official fee when he leaves in a statement and I wouldn't be surprised to see the fee including add-ons to be the one which BBC are stating - 90 million.
Yep
Just seen this on twitter, is this true?
I don't think Rooney will be included in the Lukaku deal, if anything he'll reduce the price. No way will Lukaku turn out to be £100m including add ons and Rooney.
In what universe is Rooney worth £25 million?

I'm enjoying the salt from some of the oppo fans.
Under Mourinho at Chelsea,
Mata and Lukaku is not good enough.
*Since then both learn their trade at different clubs*
Under Mourinho at Manchester United,
Mata is a great player, and Lukaku is good enough.

Believed to include.
It's 75m. You also owe us money for Keane and Schneiderlin (see above).
I think 75 is a fair price for all. He's worth about 50.
The squabbling over transfer fees to try and get some sort of minor moral victory is ridiculous. United paying £90m for a player is like Everton paying £30m for a player. We can easily afford it, so get over it already.
Absolutely. The deal is £40 million if you include 'add ons' from the other deals too
Just seen this on twitter, is this true?
The step up to a big club usually gets players going.
This doesn't even make sense.

Rooney's value is... But the Schneiderlin and Keane ones are true, helps "reduce" the price of buying Lukaku.
Irony just died
I don't really care how much he will go for but a lot of people said we were silly to be asking for 50m+ and we are getting a lot more than that. We will probably release the fee in a statement when he leaves.
The reality has changed. The last TV rights deal put so much money in to football that it became a game changer.
The news yesterday was that you were offering £32m for Sigurdsson. Last season that would have been crazy money. This season there is a fair chance that Swansea will turn that offer down.
The world has changed but some people are not prepared to see it.
The first point is made up while the second part is weird, clubs with high revenues (basically every single PL club) usually pay the transfer fee over the length of the contract. We probably haven't got more than 10m for Schneiderlin yet and we probably won't pay more than 15-20m for Lukaku this year.
Just seen this on twitter, is this true?
Brutal but fair
They also took away rooney's massive wages
Rooney's value really is purely hypothetical. You can say Rooney's worth £1 or £100m and argue the 'fee' is in the region of £75,000,0001 and £175,000,000. But using a player we were literally willing to get go on a free to lower the price of an asset we want is very clever.
