Remy will go and this talk about Traore off to means someone will be coming and yes I think it could Romelu.

I hope it is Lukaku. I mean who else? Lukaku is a proven Premier League goalscorer. Why the F should we settle for a Mauro Icardi or a Lacazette.

Because they are cheaper, less hyped, and maybe even better? Nevertheless I'm not bothered which one, trust Conte's decision.

Mauro Icardi, should you get past the fact he's a cunt and his whore of a wife who's also his agent is an even bigger cunt, is a better player than Lukaku. Don't particularly want him either but if it's down to Icardi or Lukaku I'd choose the former anytime.

Bolasie and Bony deals are apparently nigh on complete to join Everton.

It all very much depends on what Koeman's plan is - He's now got four central defenders in the squad (Funes Mori, Jagielka, Ashley Williams and Lamine Kone), all four wanting nothing but a starting place. In this case Koeman could go for the 3-5-2 he's used before at Southampton. If this happens, I can't find any reason why would they let Lukaku go. Plus, they would have a pretty good lucking strike force with Lukaku and Bony. 

But if Koeman sticks to the 4-2-3-1, then I don't know, Lukaku might be on the move as I can't see Bony giving away his £5m per year salary at City to come to Everton as a bench warmer, on lower wages, too.

Koeman sticks to a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-1-2-3 with one striker. I know this guy my whole life since he went from footballer to manager and he always played with one up front. Don't know him personal but it would surprise me if he goes 2 up front. 
But Evertonians are saying that Bony is a Kone or Niasse replacement. We don't know.

Cant see the hate towards re-signing Lukaku. In terms of out and out striker there is not many better than him (Aguero, Suarez, Lewandowski and Aubameyang are level above). We'll be getting a player who 1) Wants to be and succeed at our club 2) Proven record in the PL for goals 3) Still got age on his side.

Its not as if it effects the fans how much the fee is so don't see the problem with the price. In a day where Everton playing £30m for Bolasie  - a player who cant properly kick a ball, its clear money isn't a issue.

I do hope we get a Defender or 2 as well though   

[Special Juan 27,424]

Koeman has spoken to the media today, said this.

"Romelu is still an Everton player and we want to keep our best players".

[King11Didier 916]

Then I hope he keeps Lukaku even after the transfer window closes.

[Special Juan 27,424]

"The club's doing everything to keep all the players we want to keep in the team."

"I like to keep all my best players but I know football. I know business. Let's wait. We have 3 more busy weeks."

RK on Lukaku: "He's still an #efc player. But finally the board makes those kind of decisions."

Sounds like he is out of the Spurs game at the weekend due to a 'cut on his foot'

[Pizy 18,368]

So it's still on, seemingly. Can't imagine Remy still having a big role here. When Costa inevitably get injured or suspended we'd be at huge risk.

[Special Juan 27,424]

Not exactly slamming the door shut in those sentences though is he? It's dead simple, if he isn't being sold he comes out says so, he hasn't, and to me this sounds like he maybe resigned to losing him.

[Unionjack 7,531]

I know I'm in a minority but I really hope we get him.

But I'd gladly give my left dangley for a CB and LB if it helps any!

[Special Juan 27,424]

40M+ for Stones, they are getting Kone for 18M and Bolasie for 28-30M apparently. If we are chasing Lukaku the money from that deal helps them to get Mata because apparently that's Koeman's next big target according to their forums.
