If we don't sign him now I'm officially done following any transfer stories until I see the player with the shirt on
Surely this is done?

Ed you cheeky bastard you
This gets better and better. I want every single 'journalist' to nail their colours to the mast, one way or another, so we can pinpoint the charlatans when the dust settles.
So according to the Times it's now 75 million pounds + possible add-ons
It looks overwhelmingly sided to a deal being done, but jim white is, believe it or not, well connected at everton.
Because if Everton fans can plainly see his weaknesses, they're sure as hell going to be exposed at United.
Good player, knew Mourinho would like him and be interested, so I wondered why we were after Morata for that reason. A lot of money... Seems too much and we better do amazing things next season with all the money we continue to spend every summer.
The moaners will moan even more now...
Ibrahimovic has a good CL record, people have always been weird about that.
Classic Mourinho striker, will give your attack a focal point and probably bang in 20 league goals.
He'll offer much more on the counter than Ibra but much less in terms of hold up and playmaking. His technique isn't good enough to ever be a truly elite player - I can't see him ever being one of the best 10-15 players in the world - but he can still be a very effective one.
Overall, it's probably a wash with Ibra. Improvement in your attack will probably depend mainly on whether other players (Martial, Rashford, Mkhi) improve.

Honestly Morata or Lukaku - it doesn't really matter. Crazy money for both. They're not worth half that.
Good point. And thats the danger of Morata, that he won't find as many chances created for him as at Real and Juve.
Think Lukaku will hit the ground running too, Jose knows him well, buddies with Pogba and has played in the EPL for years and been there or thereabouts for top scorer. Just hope we can now get an SS and maybe a winger to feed him (and LB).
That's definitely a reasonable wage to Lukaku. Since we are moving out Rooney, we are actually going to save 100k odd wages weekly while massively upgrading the position!
cast your mind back to Obi Mikel
Ronaldo and Messi are not available so give me examples of players with all these qualities who is available and who you wou would have prefered. Let me just indulge despite the fact that Lukaku has scored severally with his right and has created lots of assists for his Everton teamates with good hold up play
This is a big deal. Literally. 75m+ add ons and a 200k a week wage. Quite an investment from the club.
That aside, he's a great forward and he improves our goal threat immeasurably.

Listening to TalkSport radio and they're still absolutely convinced that Everton have rejected a £75 million bid from us. More specifically, Jim White. Talk about sticking to your guns.
I am so sick and tired of reading shite like this.
A 24 year old striker who was last seasons 2nd top scorer not worth £37,5m in todays market?
Have you been living under a rock for the last few years?
A secondary striker, when he have two mobile forwards in Rashford and Martial and a bunch of playmakers who should play #10 as Mkhitaryan or Mata? I feel we need more of an experienced poacher, really, not so much someone to start but to be used as sub to finish of games.
its because white is moshiri's pal. very close according to everton mobListening to TalkSport radio and they're still absolutely convinced that Everton have rejected a £75 million bid from us. More specifically, Jim White. Talk about sticking to your guns.
Is it a lot of money though ? When I look at a transfer between, of all teams, Hull and Leicester reach £18m for a relegated defender then I don't think 4 x that for a proven PL striker is over the top. Bang average PL footballers are transferring for a minimum £15m, theres hardly a transfer between PL clubs for less than that. I might be in a minority but I don't think its ridiculous if it is £75m, it's still £15m short of Pog and that was a year ago when the market was nothing like as crazy as it seems right now.
Wow...
Lukaku is not worth that pricetag. I rather it went to Morata. Hope this isn't true.

Can he be our very own Drogba? I wanted Lukaku but thought he was nailed on to be Chelski player! What a coup if true...Only worries is Jim White banging on about deal not being agreed on Talksport!
Anyway Transfer Muppet Window is Here!

Surely a player is worth what a buying club is willing to pay for them? Really, it’s only in hindsight can we assess if a player was actually ‘worth’ the money paid for them.
Rio was expensive at the time, but for his achievements at the club was worth every penny.

Happy that we have a proven EPL striker ecstatic if this goes through and we send a message to RM don't mess with Ed The Equali

A Lukaku deal was -obviously- already arranged, or else Everton wouldn't have spent the huge amounts of money this summer that they just did.
The only question on my mind was whether that deal was to Chelsea or to us, and right now it seems like it was us all along.
Maybe his source has strung him along in the hope that Chelsea will offer more.
When he was seemingly nailed on to join us almost all I saw on this forum is "he's a downgrade on Costa, he's not a top level striker, he's a big lump who scores plenty of goals but is shit technically."
Now he's on his way to Old Trafford and this place is creaming themselves.

So is Paco Alcacer. If you ever seen him at Valencia, he is good enough. If he is not good enough, Barca will not buy him from Valencia.
His price is same with Morata fee when transferred back. 30 million Euro.
And also he is considered Striker for Spain NT (with Morata). No shame also being benched for MSN.
If Barca has the benches like Madrid, with skill of Kovacic, Isco, Nacho, and Ascencio, sure they will rotate, and Alcacer will score more goals that he scored (6 only last season).
So what is really of your point ? Madrid bench warmer is guarantee starter at United, is it ? And if he moves to Man Utd suddenly he will be a beast in EPL ?
If he wants to prove himself, ask for transfer request, or ask for being loaned once again or just do the Javi Martinez, buy your own contract.
And i heard, Barca has rebought Deolefou to play with Alcacer like in U20.
Deulofeu, who has been shit at Everton, but save his career at AC Milan, now go back to Spain. Bought by his home club Barca. For what ? For being back up. Same with the Morata lad.
From 30 million euro for 70 million pound, from the bench ? Really...
There's almost no footballer in the world who avoids criticism from his own fans. It's standard now.
yeh but you should remember they're all copying each others story. none of those stories are individually sourced, easily noticeableDucker: Lukaku to MUFC

I haven't seen enough of Morata to be able to make an informed comment on him. But I'm happy with Lukaku. He's a proven goal scorer in this league and probably the only one we could realistically sign right now. He scored goals for Everton and should be able to do this for us, in fact, he should be able to score more for us with the service we will provide.
In the current market I don't think the price is too inflated either but time will tell whether it is regarded as good business or not.
All this and we get to stick two fingers to Real too.

Lukaku is 24 and Drogba was 26 when Chelsea bought him from Marseille. Drogba became a big game player later in his career. It wasn't until he got to Marseille that he started showing the ability that prompted Abramovich to throw oil money at Marseille.

White still thinks Benatia is on a plane to Manchester.
I bet there are a few little details to be sorted, that's all. So while he may be technically correct, I'd imagine the bulk of a deal in principle is done. Critically, I'd imagine the player has committed to signing.
