once you see it ...

The interview was done at anderlecht training camp in switzerland.. Before he signed with us he was neither with anderlecht nor in switzerland. Edit: he subsequently added Henry is his hero. situation probably similar to drogba rom chelsea triangle.

he just said in an interview on Belgian TV he hopes to one day play for Arsenal.

UK is hiring foreigners (a new zealander, iirc) to head up their negotiating team and civil servants are given textbooks on tariffs and non tariff barriers and how to do trade deals. (no joke). The trade experts the UK does have all work for the EU and May doesnt want them because they all think brexit is a dumb idea. Noone denies UK was an empire (or "trading nation"), holds little relevance today though.

That sounds really bad actually

https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/blog/quick-us-trade-deal-will-signal-uk-easy-prey Added difficulty in this is the fact that the UK has no expertise in negotiating its own trade deals. There is a risk the UK government will end up signing a lot of very bad deals quickly to prove a point. Just one more hidden difficulty of brexit.

Imagine if Chelsea Clinton had stepped in for her mother. Hannity would have lost it.

The UK has a huge trade surplus with the US, so no surprise Trump wants to do something about this (ie lower the surplus) through an FTA. Prepare to bend over if you think a good FTA is a quick FTA.

Belgian press now reporting Lukaku still waiting for Chelsea, but under immense pressure from Mino Raiola to sign for ManU. http://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20170706_02960697

I want him as an individual player to succeed at his new club; I obviously don't want his club to succeed when they play us.. this being ManU, I don't want his club to succeed when playing against anyone tbh.. but just like with Fellaini or Stones (even Lescott) etc. I still look up stats of former Everton players hoping they are doing well at their new club.

This is the one thing that annoys me about you in this thread. It's not enough that Everton should be succesful in the post-Lukaku era, you also need him to fail.

You're right

"Mourinho sold Mata and Lukaku at Chelsea so he could have them at United. Elite foresight." - Sam Homewood

Fourth Official‏ @FourthOfficial_ 1 u1 uur geleden Meer Wouldn't be surprised if this is all a ploy for Morata price to be lowered and chelsea to bid for Lukaku ...

can't believe we caved on the 100m by 25m. At least get some more out of him in a market in which Kane is priced at over 200m. still, excited to see who will now be main striker for Everton next year .. as Romey said, answer can't be just Rooney

Risitas talks brexit .

and Kenwright brought Moshiri... right, who gave us Kenwright? (I actually prefer the name Morishi now)

The results of polls on complex issues that are boiled down to yes or no, are just as meaningless today as the one they held on the 23rd of June 2016, though. As the director of vote.leave said, these types of referenda are a very dumb idea. I just thought it extremely cynical of him to first claim a couple of months ago that leave probably wouldn't have won without the 350m NHS bus, and now to say he's not even sure leaving is a particularly good idea. A majority of MP's were in favour of Remain when the referendum was held. I don't know if that is still true today but one thing is for sure, not one party is united on this issue. (FT)

This is a good one.. the man behind the 350m for NHS on the side of a bus says voting leave may have been an error .. https://politicalscrapbook.net/2017/07/vote-leave-campaign-director-says-voting-leave-may-have-been-an-error/#more-65540

I love first world problems

and last week (?) it was "reported", again without quotes, that Conte doesn't want him. SkyBet has him at 8 to stay at Everton.. worth a shot.
