And, we're off.....2016/17

Could be a bluff, his agent said it was a 99.999% done deal only 2 weeks ago.

Sky Sports discussing this at half time and Cottee seems to think it's the start of a "game" between player, agent and club. Seems a very sad and childish way of conducting business negotiations but seems the norm in football these days

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Have to say, why haven't Leicester played like this all season. That's the spirit, shape and determination they showed last year and has been lacking costing Ranieri his job. I think the players need to have a long look in the mirror. That said it's fantastic that they are winning and on the way to the quarter finals

I agree 100% LT. But the problem is, we as a club are in a weak position to 'parley' now that the world and his wife know that Lukaku is not gonna sign another contract with us. We may struggle to squeeze a little bit of juice let alone the pips.

I would prefer him to go abroad, but I just get the feeling he's Costas replacement for next season.

The good news is there are two years left on his current deal. One year and we are in trouble, look at arsenal over the years, but two years gives us leverage still. Ideally we would sell him to a Chinese club for silly money.

Either way, if Pogba is worth £80m then Lukaku must be touching £100m 😁. Ha ha.

If he does go then it will be a good test for Steve Walsh's little black book.

stupid from Nasri, embarrassing from Vardy, relief Leicester probably needed too

Thought ref got it right. Booking each but just happens to be Nasri's second yellow

How are teams like Everton ever going to get back to former glory if every time they get a decent squad the "stars "want to leave.
Its sad really that only money talks and that's what CL is about Money.

I'd like to see Everton build in the same manner Spurs have.

Congratulations to Leicester, great performance and fully deserved.

Great effort thanks in no small part to Schmeichal

didnt say the ref didnt get it right, doesnt stop Vardys reaction being embarrassing

 

[sawtooth]

Yep got to hand it to Leicester a great win against quality opposition. Of course Nasri made it a bit easier for Leicester by getting himself sent off plus the cheating antics of Vardy was on display again. But overall a much deserved win and its starting to look the same Leicester team as last year.

Its baffling why didn't they play like this when Ranieri was in charge.

Yep, fully deserved. Although I must admit, Vardy gets right on my 'threepenny-bits'. He's the modern day Robbie Savage, with his snidey antics.

Defo, if it had been the other way round the media would be slagging off the foreigner!

 

[clubchamp98]

You could ask the same question to a few clubs, Lukaku has always stated his desire to play CL, it must be even more confusing for you's when your "stars" do it.

Money talks though.

Totally agree I would put Liverpool in this category.
so only way is big money investor
Thats sad.

Maybe a bit of both?

Fancy Monaco tonight which probably means City will qualify.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

City sneaking ahead at the moment on aggregate but another Monaco goal now makes it really hard. Not sure I can see City holding out
