Liverpool - It's not looking too bad in the transfer market

Fish said:
I disagree



I've not compared Costa's non existent world cup to Lukaku, more a case that Lukaku had an opportunity to shine on a bigger stage and didn't take it and showed no desire IMO to grab it either, I think he was too good for the baggies and shone accordingly and is about right for Everton in that top of the 2nd tier in the prem just under the top 4/5. I think, he thinks he's better than he is at the moment and maybe the Everton manager will be good for him and ground him and get the best out of him as he'll be their main star, where-as at Chelsea he wouldn't be at this time in his unproven career in the top flight.

IMO :smirk:

What does that statement have to do with what Fish has said about Lukaku ?

You keep posting little digs at other people's clubs on football threads - can you please stop now and just stick with the subject

Fish post had zero mention about Liverpool and was about signings.

Now onto Liverpool signings

Looks like we are unsure about Moreno now - Robbo is impressing pre season at the moment

Still rumblings about Lavezzi and Vidal plus the Columbians Quadrado
 
Lukaku is more Heskey than Costa.

Reminds me a bit of Adebayor as well where he does well for a bit then puts his feet up and has a rest once people start praising him. I think Chelsea have done great to sell him for £28 million.

Indeed demonstrating how blinkered some (seems to be most in certain clubs!) fans can be!

Had he bothered to read the article, he should have noted the couple of (serious) discrepancies (unusual imo) between the article and LPP's original post about it.

With all these comings and goings at this stage, the last week of August could be chaotic! Liverpool does seem to have made their 'major moves' quite early! Has the 'dodgy at the back' issue been solved - with cover? I've lost track a bit on that one - and it really seems to be something that's not properly found out until the real 'battle' (season) starts - as it's more a communication/combination thing imo.

My initial statement was

"I think I read somewhere that Newcastle owe Ashely around £260mil but the figure included the purchase price"

Do Newcastle owe Ashely around £260mil according to the article I read - yes

Does it include the purchase price - yes

Did I get that price wrong - yes

How does that make me blinkered and I'm not exactly sure why you are taking that very loose statement to such extremes.
 
I'm not sure whats been said in this thread but as far as Lukaku is concerned... That is a hell of a lot of money for a player who still has a lot to prove.

I like Everton though so I hope he does well.

Doh! My blunder! My eyes added a sneaky 'not' between 'does' and 'include' in your post!! :rolleyes:

The article, however, is all about what the clubs owe their owners, not what they've actually lost - which, surprisingly, seems to be not all that much in Newcastle/Ashley's case! I would have thought there'd be some yearly losses, though not the 'hundreds of millions' you posted earlier.

Your 'trigger' post that I queried was about Ashley losing hundreds of millions! He doesn't appear to have done that (yet!)!

But even Ashley has lost hundreds of millions over the years

The 'blinkered' comment wasn't about you (this time)! :whistle:

Now, back to Liverpool...

What is your problem? You turn every footie thread into an arguement. This thread started about Liverpool and the transfer window because what they do is going to have a huge bearing on how they progress from a good season last year. It has evolved a bit and all the top clubs are being discussed, which is cool.

Why can't people debate football like adults rather than argueing like kids in a playground.
 
Latest rumour news is Stevie G is going to USA for one last big payday , Rogers looking to add more to squad , wanted Lakuku but blues in 1st for 28k , wow a lot of money for a player thats yet to prove himself ....................EYG

Lukaku is a good player. I can understand the humour in getting £50m for Sideshow Bob but don't get the mocking of the Lukaku transfer? He's been Chelsea's best striker the last 2 years, however was playing for other clubs. Seems like some fans are reverting to saving face.

I poersonally think the transfer is win win for everyone. Lukaku will get the toffees 15/20 every season as he'll be e main man. But as his antics shiwed during the wc. If he's no playing he sulks. So a good return fee for Chelsea for a player who wouldn't for them and a player who if he fulfils his potential at Everton could still see then turn a profit.

I agree it's a win win. Jose didn't want him, we did so everyone's happy. It's the childish posts such as the one I quoted I am referring to. Typical of 14 year olds in the school playground but not adults on a Golf Forum.

Gerrard has just signed a new deal with the club - where did you get this rumour from about going to the states

Not trying to save face at all,I've already stated that I would have liked Lukaku to stay. But sounds like he wanted to be the main man & Jose doesn't really like that. £28m is very good business. Everton have got a quality player & Lukaku will be the main man at a good club. Win/Win/Win:D

How is he unproven? He's scored 15 goals a season in Orem last two years. They know what's they're getting. I'd say it's good business around.

As as to Gerrard going to states. If he doesn't start the season at Liverpool this season then my names Harry Redknapp?
