Tristagi

love what we are getting out of the lad so far, hopefully its a sign of things to come. has loads of tricks and the confidence to pull it off, watching him, theo, tosun and gylfi interplay yesterday we looked a complete different side to 2017.

have a feeling that the rest of the league may start to moan about him hitting the deck and staying down a little too much soon....

Please.

I'm actually on the other end, if Lookman can go somewhere and play at a decent level in a decent team and play 90% of games he will develop better than sitting on our bench playing 15mins every other week.

Was very worried when he came on. Would have preferred Holgate come on tbh.

Did a reasonable job. The way we were set up, that right side will be exposed against more quality teams until Coleman is back.

Last time he was out here, was what, 2009? With a pretty average Blackburn outfit.

Looks like the big target man type Ronnie likes. 27-28, in the prime of his career. the 1-in-3 stats aren't phenomenal but could be worse. If we get him up over 15 goals and he fits the system the 25m price tag isn't too bad.

Yup.

As nice as it would be to add his class to the squad, its time to crap or get off the pot. Understand the message the board is sending but either sign him or move on to the next target.

Southampton for 18m.. ffs

Would rather Sturridge if we were looking for a striker made of glass.

I will lose it if he goes to West Ham.

Yup.

Hopefully stimulates us into speeding up a move..

Please.

Better option than Giroud.

So this one died quick, huh?

F*** right off. Not even if he offered to play for free...

Would give us great depth in the midfield which is what we need, for so long we have had two good mids and then its fallen away really quick. Good solid depth is needed if we want to challenge top 4 and push on in FA cup and Europa.

Then again could be just another Everton has money, lets link them with 'X'

If we managed to get him for just over 50m, it would be a great deal. Especially conidering the 50m we got from City for Stones last year, its a small fee from us for an upgrade...

Spending would be worth it too, just to see the faces on Liverpool fans...

I think its a good move mainly for off the pitch reasons.

No one will be expecting Rooney to play/start all 38 games plus Europa and other cups.

He will be important in those games we drop to lower teams in terms of driving focus and that 'winning mentality'. Like him or not he is a winner, being at United for as long as he has (despite the last few years) has ingrained a winning mentality in him and he will demand that off the younger lads.

Off the pitch, signing Rooney makes us much more commercially relevant. Everton isn't seen around the world as a big club or a relevant club, we are just one of the clubs that makes up the premier league and is fairly solid. This changes that some what with our name now in the news a little bit more all because of one player. That kind of exposure is huge and costs a shitload to get instantly or a long time to grow organically.. So while his wages are more than a player of his current ability is worth, think of at least half that contract as a marketing cost.

Looks like we are just trying to sort out the fee. Clubs are only about 5m off, so would assume it gets done.

Maybe he's using us to flush bigger clubs out?

Wouldn't be a window if this didn't happen to us...

With Sandro all but confirmed, once that deal has been signed I would expect this one to follow very shortly.

40m would be stupid. I'm understand we are in a different market to when I grew up watching football (jesus that makes me sound older than I am) but there is no way in hell he is worth 40m.

Remember we were in for him in a big way in January but they wouldn't sell due to him being a big part of there staying up hopes. Rumor was that there was an 'agreement' they player could leave in the summer, hopefully thats what this is.

Please.

But will need a MUCH better source than Goal before I get my hopes up.

If he follows Pickford, Klassen and Sandro through the door I'll be made up. That would be a very good first four.

Would be our best window in... well, forever.

Koeman will well and truely know of the issues the lad has. Backing himself and the club to get the best of out him.

Remember how excited this forum was when we were first linked with him two years ago. Willing to give this a chance cause it could be a big win, and we need to take risks with some of these lower priced buys cause they could be a big win.

3 buys within a week, I must be dreaming....

From what I read last night I thought it was 18m initial fee with the potential to rise to 30m depedning on league positions, trophies e.t.c

Basically, if he is the lad in between the sticks when we finish top 4 or lift a trophy, it will be 30m well spent. Otherwise 18m isn't a bad price for a future star. Look at what City paid for their keeper after all.

To many ifs for me.

IF he can stay fit

IF the fee isn't to high

IF his wages aren't to high

IF we don't get Keane or Van Djik
