Romelu Lukaku: Manchester United striker's 'voodoo message' led to Everton exit - BBC Sport

Moshiri saying a voodoo message told lukaku to join Chelsea, Lukaku must not really care about voodoo as he joined us. He also seems to say that Pogba played a part in getting him to sign for united in LA

The Everton AGM was one of the madest and funniest things in ages last night.

That's comedy gold by itself that they're now claiming voodoo as something else going against them. Made even funnier as noted that he never even signed for Chelsea. Presumably, his Ma went to the wrong voodoo fella'? Then you've anything from them claiming 'The City's all Ours' as they're renting out some office space the Liver Buildings/ Everton having the 'new Fab 4' consisting of Rooney, Sigurdsson, Bolasie and Tosun, with his whopping 8 league goals for £27 million. In Turkey at that/ that big fat mess Anderson trying to sell everyone on what a great move it is to put two-thirds Council money into buying the land to regenerate that side the waterfront. When they haven't enough money to actually build the pretendy new ground to go on it (If yers haven't already, get on his 700-word letter 'rant' to the FA on Barkley)/ Moshiri's late night 'phone calls with Jim White, and all points in-between. (The minutes have to be read to be believed.).

Everton FC. The gift that keeps on giving.

Sevilla now subsidising their own fans the game at Utd.

Kudos to Utd's brinkmanship getting a (semi <€60/ £54 is still far too much>) reasonable deal for all. But wouldn't it have just been simpler for Seville to not F increase prices to begin with? (Not sure why Utd have cut the Sevilla allocation from the standard 5% of capacity to 4.1% but that's another issue.).

Yep. Needs to nail it to have half a chance here. He’s defo lost that pace and explosiven after a couple of bad injuries. His finishing and technique is still there though.

I've said long time ago that James Wilson was a player seemingly from a different era. Electric pace, good movement and that cold-blooded killer instinct. Had he been born 20 years earlier clubs would be killing themselves over him.

In modern football though? It's not enough to be a pace merchant and spend 90 minutes doing the Inzaghi off the back of last defender. And besides that, what does he have? He's a manlet and never gonna be any good playing with back to goal, not technically talented enough to be a false nine or whatever.

It's a shame really. He's a thrilling talent but seemingly there's no place for this type of player in modern tactics.

Not really. Injuries killed his career. He did not develop enough because he did not play enough.

Exactly. His dribbling is actually pretty good still. And scored a couple of great individual gls before Christmas beating 3/4 players. And he’s really good at receiving the ball on the half turn and rolling defenders and unleashing efforts. Headings his real weakness. But like you said he’s not played enough over the last 2/3 seasons to round out his game and polish the good parts. I have no doubt he will have a good career in football, just not at the top top level that was destined.
 
Maybe he'll do a Vardy. Still hope he's a late bloomer. Would like for him to have a career like he did on a few fm saves of mine. But he need to leave United. Needed to do that years ago.
Also, what i find kinda funny, he's totally Klopp type of striker. But that would never happen.

Why did he need to leave years ago?
 
Have to say, genuinely disappointed in Miki. We all gave Jose stick when he first didn’t play him and said he needed to settle. But jose has given him time, played him at 10 where he wants to be and he's been patchy as ****. Not even like he's been stifled because he's been given free rein.

It does remind me of how Dortmund got the best from him by making him less important, as he couldn't be relied upon to stay in the game for 90 minutes. Shame. As he is a player I really like

It's the Kagawa curse.
 
Only way is to stop buying players from Bundesliga. They all suck at Manchester.
 
Sure it does. But when did this become a club/club thing?
