Fingers crossed on Lukaku. Come on Jose, give me the big man!  

Away to Everton

Chris Lepkowski ‏@chrislepkowski
Further information suggest Lukaku is indeed unlikely to return to #wba. Paves the way for Anichebe

Oh dear

Lukaku about to be confirmed at Everton and Anichebe going to WBA

Indeed. I quit. What a flucking joke. I'd rather play our England U21 starlet striker Berahino than take Victor 'I've always been a lump and I'm totally sh1te' Anichebe on loan

Hope Lukaku scores 0 goals for you.  

And Gareth Barry as well :Picard:

david mcnally ‏@davidmcnally62
No incoming players for #ncfc tonight, all of the work completed earlier in the Summer @NorwichCityFC

This guy signed Leroy Fer for 4m. Love you so much Dave    

Anichebe is a permanent deal btw

Kick him when he's down why don't you

Am I the only one who thinks Barry is still a fairly decent player? He's never a top side player, but I think he's a pretty solid mid table side player

I didn't even mention Shane long leaving...

You're not. I think he'll do a great job for Everton. Probably better than McCarthy would do.

Although saying that, Leroy Fer would've been perfect for them  

Unless his knee gives up

If Fellaini was always going to leave, even if no-one at Everton was going to admit it, should have sorted out Steven Defour as his replacement. Wouldn't have been that hard a deal to do IMO.

We shall see  

McCarthy to Everton back on!

Apparantly Lukaku to Everton is cos they have offered a bigger loan fee. If that's true the WBA board should be ashamed of themselves.

Olly wrote:Apparantly Lukaku to Everton is cos they have offered a bigger loan fee. If that's true the WBA board should be ashamed of themselves.

We had him for free last season, so I'd assume it would be same again. We've already shelled out £2m for Sinclair's loan, £1.5m for Amalfitano's loan, £6m for Sessegnon, signing on fees and huge wages for Anelka, Lugano, Sessy, Lee Camp...not much left for loan fees I'd imagine!

Loan fee played a factor according to that Lepkowski guy who seems fairly spot on.

I can't see what else would stop it, you've got the whole Jose/Clarke relationship should be a plus, and the fact Lukaku loved it at WBA last year

Chris L is the guy in the loop. My stepdad is on good terms with him, its how i find stuff out.

You seen his tweets tonight Az?

You on twitter?

I forgot you got Sinclair. That is a top signing

Afro you gotta be pretty chuffed with the Lukaku signing, oh my

Marky wrote:Seems James McCarthy to Everton is off. Which means two things.

1. Fernando from Porto to Everton is probably on
2. Me selling James McCarthy to lawyers last week is justified

Ah well. Although you can see why I couldn't gamble on him leaving Wigan.

Marky wrote:Lukaku joins WBA Everton on loan!

Jose Mourinho in the #headsgone for me. To keep Torres and Ba and let Lukaku leave is madness.

Same sh*t, different club.

Shane Long doesn't go to Hull, back to WBA. Been at Hull's training ground.

That'll be awkward

Really pleased with Lukaku. We have been toothless and signing a goal scorer was my priority after what I witnessed at Cardiff on Saturday. Couldn't care less about Felli, McCarthy and Barry now

You've kept Baines, which for me is your best bit of business this summer. He in my mind, is irreplaceable.

I've always rated McCarthy, and Lukaku is just a machine

Ill take Long

Agree 100%

Also we helped you get Fer cheap. We agreed £8.6m for him. If we hadn't questioned his knee and pulled out, you'd have had to pay more

I know  

£4 million for him, I still can't believe it. We've had a brilliant summer, and all signs point to there still being a lot left in the kitty as the Toivonen/Alderweireld bid money was never spent

In truth there are question marks on his knee but if it holds up, you've got one of the bargains of the window.

Did I see alderweireld went to Atletico in the end?

Uniteds window is ****ing hilarious

Yeah he did, was always too good to be true that one, he came to Norwich, but really it would've been a mentally bad choice to come here. Same really with Toivonen.

Mate he was unbelievable on Saturday. I've never seen a Norwich player with the ability he has. If he stays fit all year, there is no way he will be with us next season. I'm already resigned to that  

Sorry for being grousey, I have a wisdom tooth coming in and it's f****** agony.

I'm getting all emotional over our transfer window

You'll see what I'm on about in a few years Bully!! It's horrible. I'm sure some of the OAPs on here (Hero, Azzy, Afro) can fill you in on it.

Votes will be in real early tomorrow, I'm too excited right now

Morning, you know its deadline day when Arry signs Kranjcar again & we get the traditional car window interview !!

Everton getting Lakaku is great business. Ozil at Arsenal, still can't believe it! What a signing.

Does Redknapp ever sign a player he hasn't managed before?

Forgot to vote due to TDD

Will do it now.

Dont worry Marky, im doing mine now too.

Arry must be the king of buying previously managed players. Defoe, Crouch & Kranjcar spring to mind straight away.

I seriously hope Moyes but more Ed Woodward has learnt from this summer window. We have looked like Transfer Chupms this whole window, offering undervalued offers & wasting time on players that wont join us.

Ozil is a fantastic signing, took Wenger long enough to spend but what a player hes got.

Marky wrote:Forgot to vote due to TDD

Same here, but cos I'm so busy, I won't bother unless I'm guaranteed to get my bonus

I think there may be quite a few who didn't vote for the same reason, so I propose that we extend the vote deadline to tonight?

I have to go to Moss Bros with my 4 year old to try my suit on for a wedding this weekend. He has the attention span of a goldfish. It's going to be torture. We're leaving in 15mins, so if we extend voting, I'll do it when I get to work later xx

BigFellasAfro wrote:I think there may be quite a few who didn't vote for the same reason, so I propose that we extend the vote deadline to tonight?

Not tonight. Today. Tonight is too generous IMO.

(Sent votes BTW)

I sent votes in, maybe set like a 3/4 deadline or something

I'll be doing injuries/lawyers later, am helping my grandad pave a driveway most of the day

Nah, just get them in & get results done. I want to know how many Ive lost by!
Has Trebs been about at all?

By 4 o'clock then?

Mine will be in at lunchtime
