gr123 167 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Could have sworn lukaku cost us £18m? Wouldn't represent much profit to sell for £24m (because let's face it, Everton are winning fuck all anytime soon) Vybz Kartel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 With the exception of Torres but even then he probably already made up more than 20m of his transfer fee through shirt sale and we won the CL-our main aim so arguably he fulfilled his purpose to.Emenalo wasn't technical director when we signed Torres.

Korea 734 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Luke Shaw who's barely done anything and plays LB goes for £30m but a match winning striker who's scored over 30 goals in the last two seasons goes for £24m. Feels cheap.Can't help but feel we could've got way more for him somewhere else but we probably did a Mata and let him go where he wanted to go.Ummm, we got peak values for both players....But than again Andy Carrol went for crazy money.

Weckerz 3,781 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Disappointed.. expected him to fight for his spot and Drogba to mentor him. I'd say he's a coward unless José just didn't like him, either professionaly or personally. RoyalBlues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't represent much profit to sell for £24m (because let's face it, Everton are winning fuck all anytime soon)His deal was £10m, rising to £18m based on appearances and goals scored. He has barely made any appearances or scored any goal for us so that £10m figure would still be in tact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Didnt we pay 18 m or something like that for him?!It was €15m plus bonuses. So yes, Chelsea have doubled their money in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, that £24m fee rises to £30m when Everton win a trophy or if they get CL football, so essentially it's more than double that of Borini's fee. Don't know why you're crying about that. oldportblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Disagree. Ever since Emenalo has been appointed as technical director the club have barely made any mistakes whatsoever, transfer wise. We've made a lot of fantastic signings, including the Lukaku one - if you look at this deal financially, we signed Lukaku for £10m, and have sold him for £15m+ profit. Same can be said about the Mata, KDB, Luiz deals. We've more oft than not been exceptional in the transfer market in the last 3 or so years.In this period, we signed Torres for 50 million pounds and Luiz for 25 million pounds in one transfer window : Jan 2011 instead of adressing the fact we had an ageing squad. Everyone could see that team needed repair after Ancelotti won the double, but we squandered 75 mil pounds on signings that will turn out to be failures. We finished 3rd, Ancelotti got sacked, then the season after, AVB's season, we again didn't deal with the ageing squad issue and we finished 6th, somehow winning the CL. AVB was NOT the greatest manager, but he wasn't helped by the board. The signing of Torres still hurts us today. We then went into the 2012/13 season with only Torres as our recognized striker then signed Ba in the January transfer window, a desperation signing. That was also the season we were in 6 competitions. How a board let's it's manager start a season with only one (hopeless) striker in such circumstances, I don't know. We also let go of Miereles despite the fact we were short in midfield. Unsurprisingly, we won 1 out of 6 of those competitions, one we didn't even want to be in. We then had this wierd, sign every AM in existence binge which only made the team unbalanced. How many AM's to make Torres score? Hazard, Oscar, Marin, KDB, Benayoun, Mata. etc. Unsurprisingly, only two from that period remain. We tried to make it work with Hazard, Mata and Oscar but improved impossible to do. Benitez recognized that.Now enter Mourinho. It's only since he arrived that any semblance of sanity we had since 2010 returned. He balanced an unbalanced squad and signed players we actually needed. Matic, Schurrle, Willian, all very good signings, the first two being known recommendations of the manager. Now Diego Costa, Luis and Fabregas, other Mourinho signings. All at good prices too. Mourinho set us straight not Emenalo. He's done an ok job, nothing amazing. We've been very hit and miss in the period of 2010-2013, both with transfers and managers.

Term-X 7,891 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 In the grand scheme of things, 'status wise'... he'll be in that Adebayor-category, in terms of his level, nothing more than that. The fact the club are letting him go to a domestic club, shows how much confidence they have in this decision, otherwise we'd push for the lower bid from Wolfsberg. cadenza666 and Rambo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres and Luiz were not signed by Emenalo. They were signed in Jan 2011. Emenalo took over in June 2011. So the whole premise of your post (which mainly seems to be critiquing the signing of Torres which is fair but he wasn't signed under Emenalo to begin with) is sort of invalid. Emenalo has done a fine job considering we didn't have a solid manager to work with for most of those years. It's obviously changed now with Mourinho though, and they've together in general done very well so far in the three transfer windows in which they've been working together.
