some people will do everything to feel offended
"white player". Racist
Ban request for Marca. Already a piece of bs propaganda, now this.
Hopefully you're joking. It just means he plays for real, who play in white. its a bad translation, not racist.
Naby #Keita and Emil #Forsberg are not for sale this summer, however both have €57m release clauses next summer. (Kicker)

Know it's from last week but i just saw it and found it very interesting (can't remember it being posted). Mourinho would love Forsberg imo but of course Keita is the main man of interest. Steal!
We will take him next season at that price.
Just seen the bit at the top. Wonder whether they'll sign extensions to bulk up the clauses and agree to let both leave? We need Raiola to become his agent so that doesn't happen.
Edit: Suppose if there are enough clubs interested; the clause might be rendered pointless as clubs will try and seal the deal by offering a higher fee.

Seems he didn't wanna burn bridges in case he has to come back in which case thank god we missed out
So we've agreed a few of £75m and are paying them £25m to take Rooney?
I think they did go to Perez, but the egomaniac doesn't listen to anyone.
Basically yes.
The English press are valuing Rooney at £30m to talk about a £100m transfer.
In reality we all know he's worth nowhere near that. In fact considering we are wiping a potential £30m off our wage bill and getting rid of wood so dead it's petrified, they are actually about -£60m out with that fee and should be discussing this Lukaku transfer as a £45m deal.
75 million base fee + 15 in "easy" addons + rooney tranfers for free, which everton value at 10m = 100m

It's £100m + Rooney = £75m
It a fantastic piece of business for us, noo doo aboo tha
Stop posting tweets from blacklisted people
ah you never know. 40m at his age and for a non starter is good money. Chelsea don't seem to have an unlimited budget so conte could use 40m
If this is true, I hate that we keep getting shafted by these fecking clubs!
£75m seemed like a good deal in the current climate but £100m??? It's just crazy.
The bottom stat is what worries me.
So you're only good if you run about a lot and do loads of sprints?
Lukaku fee 75m from BBC.
That's best we have. The rest is hear say.

tbf all the other players play in a top team
So basically Lukaku plays for Everton who play a certain way and don't win as many games, hence he can't win as many points.....damning stuff
Not me. You can manipulate stats to support many different opinions - there are also many other variables that go into differentiating these goalscorers that might explain why Lukaku shows some frailty among those stats. I think you have to consider the club he was at along with what was asked of him
Politicians use stats all the time to present an certain opinion or viewpoint. The only stat I care about is the goals tally, leave the sprinting to the rest of the feckin team! Can he score...yes
It shouldn't, we have great service to our strikers, the problem is the end product, something he will deliver.

No, it's the 4 goals, the doubles and the goals when everton was either winning or largely loosing. It's subjective too.
Well given that Everton get a lot less points than the rest of those teams is it really that surprising? If you weighted it by overall points it probably evens out
I mean Chelsea got 30 more points than Everton but Costa only got 6 more points from his goals than Lukaku, that's pretty good no?
Average Speed might be the most useless football stat I've ever seen, assuming that is their average speed over the course of the whole game. I'm guessing it is, as it is pretty much walking speed for all of them.
The bottom stat isn't worrying at all. Switch Aguero and Kane around, and that list is in the order that their teams finished in the league. Chelsea won the most points, so understandably Costa's goals played a big hand in that. Everton finished 7th, won fewer games, Lukaku scored goals in games that Everton lost or drew in.
Morata had a similar stat go in his favour, that his goals won Madrid a lot of points in comparison to other strikers, but when it looked like he was nailed on for United, he still got slated because "not a starter", "not enough goals" despite also having a very good goals to minutes ratio.
Basically, whoever United sign, there will be something to bash them with.

these stats are worthless. Every team has a different pattern of play so you cannot compare stats like these. And the last stat? surprisingly Lukaku played for the weakest team among the lot
Stats, fee and wages, why are people so obsessed, he's the only one of the 5 we could realistically buy, he also played for the most inferior team of the 5 who won the least points, maybe created the least chances, had less need to 'run about' etc etc, one stat I did read was that he was involved in something like 46% of all Evertons goals, which suggests he does what he's paid to do, i don't care about the fee or his wages, I care about how he performs for us, so maybe this time next year we discuss the value of his £75m fee.
You're worth what someone pays for you. If a club out there wanted to buy me for £75m, then I'd be worth £75m. And I'm shit.
Thank feck we aren't buying him to compete in the bleep test.
If you slot Costa into Everton, they still would have finished 7th just going off that last stat.
He's playing for Everton though. Proportionally by total points it's not much different to Costa's impact at Chelsea who tops the list.

I don't think its too much of a coincidence that the points won stat is ordered the way their respective teams finished in the league. (apart from Kane and Aguero because they are positioned alphabetically)
Word.
I think the price difference from these sources stem from United and Everton briefing different things. United briefed a whole host of sources yesterday that the fee was £75m, while Everton are quoting £90m+Rooney for free (who is supposedly rated at £10m) so £100m altogether. I think the transfer fee in reality may be £75m up front +£15m in add ons +Rooney on a free transfer.
