Evertonians not happy?
They are both Jose forwards. Quick, powerful, can drop deep or stay forward. Good on the counter, great for outballs under pressure, and both good for possession play. If Chelsea get Morata, then they haven't really lost, even though Conte is fuming over Lukaku.
Lukaku is much more physically imposing than Morata, I mean jesus, that guy is a specimen. Looking at him alongside Pogba and he makes him look like nothing. This is Pogba, the same guy who outmuscled pretty much everyone last season.
No idea to be honest. I stopped checking for reactions as they border on the absurd half the time now.
I don't begrudge him his move though or bear him ill will. Personally I think he's earned his move. He deserves a bigger stage, and we won't be able to fulfill his ambitions as quickly as he wants as we're still rebuilding. Good luck to him-he deserves to be at a bigger club and deserves whatever success comes his way.

United had been having a difficult time in this summer's transfer market but Lukaku deal changes the whole mood for them. Big signing

The window has been open a week and Utd, if this goes through, have signed a centre-half and a striker. But it's been a 'difficult time.'
Seriously, is their NOBODY that doesn't talk absolute bunkum during a transfer window? Deary me.

it said had, as in before getting the striker. I would agree with that we got a decent CB in but what wasn't to be our marquee signing decided not to go and it seemed that everything else was dragging on quite a bit and may not happen I.e. Peresic and Morata
Well if we get Weigl I'll be over the moon, but I struggle to see how it will happen given his injury. But we really do need that DM, Lukaku is just Zlatan replacement. I'd argue we haven't really strengthened from last season, simply replaced some of the quality we had.

Seen people getting pissy about the fee, You will get the best part of ten years out of Lukaku a proven 20 goal a season striker. With the way fees keep inflating each year whether its 75m and Rooney or 90m I think its good business
To add to this Keita someone who has had 1 good season in a strong league is going for 70m

I was thinking earlier about just how much transfer fees have escalated. I remember back in my day (lol) people were open mouthed when David Platt left Aston Villa and went to Bari in '91 for £5.5 million which was a record back then. In todays money it's spare change in the back pocket

Dunno if you have read soccernomics? There is a way to calculate transfer fee inflation by working out the average transfer fee for the season then comparing the increase season on season. I would be very interested to see the figure for 2015-16 compared to 2016-17 and then what it would be after this window
also will point to the outrage of Chris Sutton to blackburn for a similar fee?
Christ I remember that partnership with Shearer. Was absolutely lethal

Goals goals goals! 
I still think Perisic will happen, that will solve the winger part. DM, by reports Dier isn't happening (thank god), so we'll turn to Weigl.

Cant see him moving for at least another year yet, especially after the injury. Think he'll give Dortmund one more before the scramble starts for him
If we're going for him we must be somewhat confident, I'd happily have Fabinho, seems perfect, no idea why we don't go all in for him.

Agreed. Surprised Pep isnt in the mix for Weigl if there is even a chance he'll move though. Supposedly wnated him as his first signing (rumour bullshit no doubt) - but looks a very Pep ish DM

Yeah can see Perisic coming. We will pay more than we want by about 10m but if he's number 1 on Mourinho list for that position then so be it. Then for midfield will be Fabinho, Naingollan, Weigl imo.
