Lukaku remains at Everton despite all the pictures and no amount of bullshiting at the moment proves otherwise. If we don't see a concrete bid from a big club for Lukaku, everything you are pasting is as good as thin air and no one of them has ever been interested.

So I should believe an article that was written after an event had already occurred?
It's no more about Skysports, it about quoting a Manu source again, I'm done!
This isn't about belief, this is common sense.

There's a timeline to these events, keep up.

The article you posted was released first. In it, SkySports are quoting am interview with Morata's agent. Neither sky sports nor morata are aware of the under G moves going on to land Lukaku.

Secondly Real Madrids president later comes out to say, he's been hearing many stories about Madrid, Morata, and Manyoo but that Manyoo has not approached Madrid with am offer

Thirdly, SkySports release today to say, contrary to what most people thought, Manyoo have been making under G moves for Lukaku since beginning of May and there is no interest in Morata.

How is this hard to grasp?

Guy hold this L please. Hold it tightly. Don't drop it.

I'm not understanding how an older article with no quote from Manyoo is supposed to trump today's article with a quote directly from Manyoo...especialky when between your article and my article, Real Madrid' s president came out very openly to say Manyoo never submitted an official bid for Morata.

Bros do you want an L or what? Cos me no dey understand this pestering.

Like I said to You, go and take it up with sky sports if you're that bothered!

Lol, and the paragraph began with "I was told..."
Everyone is wiser in hindsight
My friend stop being ignorant. This is SkySports were talking about here, not Brilla FM.

When they say they were told, they MEAN they were told.

This is another paragraph here, same article.

One of your Manyoo bredrin even posted the link to the article a few posts back. Go and look for it.

He wasn't the number 1 target
Griezman was, followed by Morata
Reports have it that Lukaku was really keen to show his worth to Mou, by coming to Manchester.
That was what swayed Mou, remember Mou said during the end of last season, that he only wants players who are eager to play for Man united.
Oga go and argue with SkySports!

So Lukaku impressed at Chelsea?

Okay. Here's your trophy. Now gerrarahia
The ediot that sold Lukaku for 28m has eaten humble pie and is shelling out a 50m+ premium for the privilege while you are here running your mouth without bothering to get the facts right.

It really is Deja vu all over again.

Go and ask KDB why he asked Jose for an open training session to prove to the public that he wasn't lazy. Jose got rid of him for 18m.

He sold Mata too. Same Mata that would later save his áss at United.

Don't tell me Lukaku didn't impress at Chelsea. Jose Mourinho didn't even give him the chance to. Now guess who was his Number 1 target this summer?

Have another L bruh, no cost.

Leyqute:
It seems you fell on your head as a kid, egbon diggz. Else you won't easily spew turd from your mouth.

You asked a rhetorical question. I replied with my own questions. For your fvcking info, Lukaku never had a 5-min cameo at Chelsea, his average game time was 19 mins.

http://goalometer.com/striker_stats/P148235//P148235_matches_Chelsea.php

I didn't fvking say he was a flop, you cvnt, he didn't impress and was cast aside. Hence, he didn't break into the first team. When you're a youth player, you grab any opportunity that you come across with both hands. Rashford's first opportunity at Man Utd, he scored a brace. If he didn't impress with LvG you think Mou will give a fvck about him?

I remember the Chelsea vs Bayern game (Supercup I think) when Lukaku came in for Drogba. Immediately he came in Chelsea's attack died and Bayern scored in the last minute. Pep eventually won the game. The next season Lukaku was out on loan to West Brom.

He then picked himself up and started scoring goals, and we're here today.

I don't have an e-life. You have one so you can drag it however you want. Megefedege
Any Chelsea fan would tell you that what you've written here is utter rubbish.

Wrong statements.

Wrong facts.

Wrong everything.

It's like Deja vu.

For one, Lukaku went on loan to Everton after that Supercup Debacle.

He had scored 17 league goals in the prior season for Westbrom and came back to Chelsea, only to find himself forced to compete with old man Etoo (10 goals the previous season in Russia), Batman Ba (13 goals in his previous season), and Fernandud Torres( 8 goals in his previous season)

Lukaku would go on to net 15 league goals for Everton that season....more than Etoo( 9 league gials), Ba (5 league goals) and Torres( 5 league goals)

So don't tell me that Lukaku did not impress anything. Just shut up and help me hold this L real quick.

airmark:
In a 5-a-side you can use formation that will ensure solidity at the back and efficiency upfront. I prefer a 2-1-1 formation with walker and bonucci as my defenders, verratti playing behind messi. Anytime we are attacking, one of the defenders, preferably walker can give both men up there, depth when they are choked along the line. It's so important to expand the field during game and create space for my top man to move and score, cos at least one of the opposing defenders must go for walker. Since i am using a left footed striker, boncci's involvement upfront is limited. Walker is my ideal player that runs the side and recovers fast to defend. Marcelo is not as defensively strong as walker for me.
I don't believe in formation in 5 a side.

Even the keeper is expected to join the play. That striker position is the exact excuse some mofos use to avoid tracking back. We should press together and switch positions together.

When I play regular 5aside we have a timer. Every 5 minutes, we rotate in goal and positions.

You're forgetting that they're not done yet. They're already making plans for life after lukaku.
If they get Oliver Giroud, I'm of the opinion that he would perform very admirably with them.
Obviously they are not done in this transfer window.
Speaking of injuries, you're sounding like the players won't come back, bolasie will be back by early October, as for Lennon, he is now back, hale and hearty.

And more so, they had some of these issues for the most part of last season and still thrived, ask yourself what happens when they now have a clean bill of health.

One thing you can't deny is that they now have squad depth coupled with a brilliant manager and that also boosts their chances.

Listen, I'm not saying that Everton will break into the top 6 for sure but right now based on their actions so far, you can see the intent, the ambition and actions. You can't just dismiss their perceived challenge with the wave of your hands.

They now have an owner that reminds me of exactly how we started , an ambitious billionaire who wants to challenge the current model and break it. They're already talking about a new stadium.

Guy, everyone needs to watch out for Everton.
Na today nyash dey back?

Abi it's like you've forgotten that this same Everton spent 70m last season.

A club like Everton needs to spend at least 200m in one window for me to even look at them twice bruv.

Everton is not a team to be taken lightly. They went on a record breaking run on home soil Last season and were a very difficult team to beat.

Also, apart from Chelsea and Liverpool, They had good results against the rest of the top six, they drew Manchester United home and away.
They beat Manchester City 4-0 after they had drawn them earlier at the ethiad. They also beat arsenal at goddison park. This is no small team.

It seems people are also underestimating their manager, Ronald koeman, this is a very successful manager who has slipped under the radar, he has 3 Dutch titles to his name and has proven to be a very tactically astute manager.
He took Southampton to their best ever finish in the premier league.
He is vastly experienced in Europe and knows how to utilize his players. He knows how to play to their strength and also tweak their game according to their opponent.

And the thing you fail to notice is that Everton are currently strengthing their squad, they are not selling to buy, they are adding quality depth to their squad. Apart from lukaku, none of their players are on the market.
So henben, you can't just dismiss their top4 chances with the wave of your hands, they were good last season and now they are aiming to break into that top4 and believe you me, it is not that far fetched.
They are building a new core which I must say is looking a bit tasty, however there's too much work to be done before I start to fear Everton.

Their main right back is in the sickbay till maybe next year. Their main left back is 33 years old and slowing down. Their best winger is in the sickbay and has not played ball in almost a year. Another winger was just released from a mental assylum.

Lukaku had 25 league goals last season. The next best Everton player managed only 5. If Lukaku goes, then they have a big problem there.

Mehn, I'm not even buying into the whole Everton winning the window hype. Them man are buying literally to avoid relegation, their team being so shyt otherwise.

I'm not even remotely bothered about Everton.

Tammy Abraham moving to swansea is not a good move cos he'll probably not get playing time. He will get a few chances off the bench to prove himself but as soon as he doesn't score or contribute anything meaningful, he will chop bench and we will call him back.

Balling in the Championship is not the same as the Premier League. If i were the one in charge, i would rather he gets a club in the championship to continue his development at least for another season.
I think it's a fantastic move for him to test himself in the EPL.

Paul Clement clearly didnt overly favour either of Luciano narsingh or Jordan Ayew last year. Llorente is probably going to carry on as the main striker for now, and Tammy can copete with Narsingh, Ayew, Routledge and Montero on the flanks. Montero is a certified sicknote and apart from being very fast, isnt particularly that good.

If Clement can switch to a 4231 and move Siggurdson from the left wing to a hole Position, then Tammy's chances of footy should be high.

All in all, I like his chances. He's up against some bang average attackers, and if he's good enough at this level, he should easily zoom past those fellas into a starting position on the flanks. He might even get a shot at number 9.

I remember when Eidos and SI split after CM03/04 when that 2d engine debuted.

Si came out with FM 2005 and Eidos released CM4 with the 3D balls instead of players.

I copped both at the time along with the beautifully presented but ridiculously inconsistent Total Club manager (FIFA) 2005.

Na him be potential? He even won league player of the year at 18 in bosnia! He was already a serial winner and key cog in the zagreb side when he landed spurs....he arrived north london with mad props!

Seems like 30m is the new 10.
