I just want to ask this, Tobes. Because you have been spouting this **** for a year or so now. Where the **** are you getting these figures from? The figure you think Everton will ask for him? Because when you stamp your feet and saying we want One hundred meeeeelion dollars, it kinda just sounds like unfounded petulance.
You told me I was pissed when I said we'd get £50m for Stones, how did that go again? We have a history of getting top dollar for our players when they move on. £40-50m for Lukaku as stated by wetty wouldn't be anywhere near enough to make the club sell him at this point, not a chance. Has the massive price inflation in the market passed you by like? Troy ****ing Deeney was being talked about as a £25m+ player last summer ffs
So you're just guessing? Because Stones went for £50m, Lukaku will go for £80m? No one is paying that in a month of Sundays for Lukaku, except the Chinese. And I dont even think Everton would have the gall to request that either, again, unless its from the Chinese. And thats IF Lukaku wants to go to China. He is always talking about wanting to play in the Champions League. If Everton want £80m+ for Lukaku, then get prepared for two years of sulking and misfiring striker, followed by a bosman. Everton are not stupid.
Says who? The voices in your head? He'd never go back to the Bridge to play second fiddle to Costa, not a chance in hell.
I've not said £80m though, you have As for the Chinese, if they'd pay £80m then that helps set his market value btw..... I think his value in the current market at this point in his contract, as a 23 year old striker with his undoubted pedigree is somewhere north of £70m.
In Europe.....yes. Would be a complete waste of money for a striker who hasn't even been tested in the CL. No one in Europe is going to pay that for Lukaku, only the Chinese. And the Chinese dont set the market value at all, you may aswell think of them as two separate markets. Maybe you could call PSG's chairman when he does his next acid trip, he may agree to £80m for Lukaku when he is off his tits, because that is seemingly how we got him to pay £50m for David Luiz
So you dismiss out of hand a striker going for a certain value because it doesn't meet a set of points you make/dream up. Riiiiiiiiggghht!
Name a striker with no Champions League experience that has gone for £70m+ from a non Champions League club?
I am not even saying we will buy him back. I don't think we will. I just find the whole valuation from Tobes a little strange, since the board have given no indication of their value of him at all.
They were the same when they were bidding for Stones a couple of years back, "he's worth £X and you should be grateful for it" ****ing Chavs
