What's up with these Lukaku to United rumours

 

So as of tonight, we’re signing Lukaku and making an improved bid for Morata. Can’t wait to wake up tomorrow seeing Lukaku holding up a Chelsea jersey and Real rejecting our bid for Morata.

 

Lukaku to United rumors are just Raiola trying to get Chelsea to hurry and pay up

 

Yeah I'd day so. It's a weird briefing with weird timing though.

 

Why are Everton trying to get Rooney? What are they planning on doing with him?

Also, I'm very worried with the lack of even rumours about Newcastle signings. We've got a French defender from Eibar (who sounds like he has potential, actually), Atsu and some rumours that we're trying to get Reina and that shitbag from Burnley. This does not bode well.

 

Holy fuck

 

What the shit? Guess we got tired of Madrid fucking us around, their loss.

Ed getting shit done.

 

Was not expecting to read that.

Wonder if Rooney going to the other way is part of the deal.

 

All the Journos are saying the two deals are totally unrelated, but imagine things like Rooney and Schneiderlin help foster a good relationship between the club's.

Seems it's more Chelsea got caught fannying about and United took advantage.

So happy with this, exactly what we need.

 

Grand Old Team has crashed. Wonder if they're worried about Rooney

 

I get sentiment and all but Everton really need to bring in another striker along with Rooney otherwise they've just swapped one of the most in form strikers of the last few seasons in the prem with one of the least inform.

 

FIFA Rankings are out. Poland are the 6th best team in the world, ahead of Chile in 7th.

 

I always find those rankings amusing. Switzerland are 5th too.

 

That's a cracking signing. Don't know if Lukaku is a world beater, but I'd bet money that he'll be the difference between all those draws from last year and many more wins this.

 

Rooney signing has to be just to have a leadership voice in the locker room, there's no way he starts

 

Didn't see that signing coming.

 

I'll take Lukaku over Morata any day, good news to wake up to.

I thing Everton would do well to bring in Giroud, that would definitely benefit both parties.

 

Hoping Spurs make a couple signings soon. Not looking for anything crazy, I think the starting XI is set. But I'd like to improve the CB and striker depth.

 

More about the world rankings. If Poland keep their position for a couple more months they'll be in Pot 1 for the World Cup draw.

 

the idea that people like the de boers would have played for them without that money is beyond ludicrous

 

USMNT WCQ against Costa Rica finally got confirmed at Red Bull Arena today

 

Lukaku is having a medical in LA.

lol at the end of last season I started a game of FM and bought the 4 players I thought we would sign. Lukaku, Dier, Griezmann and Keane. I thought Lukaku was the least likely and once the murmurs about Chelsea came out I was 100% convinced he was going there. Mad out of those 4 he's going to be the only one we sign.

 

Dier can't leave his bff Dele anyways

 

I'd take him too, if needs be.

 

What a chore that would be.
