We said confirmation was due shortly and here it is - Charlton's Ademola Lookman joining Everton. We understand the fee is an initial £7.5m with add-ons that could take it nearer to the £10m mark."
Sky said 7 and a half million initially up to 10 with clauses.
close to the £8m rising to £10m rumour that was going around on Monday.
c'mon, on Monday KM categorically said to us that no fee had been agreed with any club for any of our players. Are you suggesting she was lying? Shame on you.
Charlton CEO Katrien Meire said: “We have a fantastic academy here and it is testament to everyone at the club that Charlton continues to develop high-quality young players.
“Our intention was not to sell Ademola, we are very sad to see him go and our long-term ambition is that we get ourselves into a position where our talented young players, even when there is interest from Premier League clubs, want to stay with us.”
As it should be. Start of the transfer window and it does us no favours having MK Dons and the like knowing how much Roland has we have burning a hole in our pocket.

If only MK Dons could watch Sky and see the figure given as £7.5m
If only they knew any agents in the game who would be able to tell them the whole deal in detail.

Is this supposedly a loan or permanent deal? Hopefully the latter although it would be typical of this lot if we sold Lookman and Fox for millions and only brought in players on temporary deals.
Did we expect anything else?
I would see sales replaced by loans as a hint the idiot might be selling and passing the long term rebuilding costs onto whomever comes next. (Hopefully)
Do we not think they will be trying to get Watt off the books this month? Surely a championship team would take a punt for 6 months? I'd like to see him stay but I think they'll have him out the door if poss
He flopped at Hearts. I'd be surprised if a Champ club takes him.
Surely a team like Rotherham would think he is worth a punt......
Could you imagine an on fire Tony Watt, in Rotherham?.....
I personally don't think Watt will have any problem getting a Championship gig. Every manager will like to think they're the one to turn him around and get him firing, and if they do they have a Prem player. Rotherham, Wigan etc would surely take a

Note the disingenuous inference from Meire that the transfer was driven by the player, rather than Duchatelet's rapacious attitude to selling young talent.
If you really want to get us into such a position, Katrien - which you plainly do not - you could start by resigning and encouraging your boss to sell up, given the continuing shrinkage of the club and your and Roland's lamentable performance over the last three years. Why don't you both just bugger off.
£7.5m upfront. Now we'll really see where the money is going. First significant transfer under the Duchatelet regime after Liverpool mugged them off with Gomez. No excuses now, if we already had a 'top six budget' then what do we have now Katrien? Robinson must be given a sizable chunk of this to spend as this squad is not good enough to achieve promotion.
IF (& I emphasize the IF) Robinson is allowed to buy the 3 or 4 attacking players he wants, I have to say that 7.5m upfront for Lookman rising to 10m is good business

I think we know where it'll go ... to pay some of the debt to Staprix

Next up Konsa & Aribo. £20 (ish) million in player sales August'16-August'17. Why would he sell us?
And how would you say that is going so far?

She has the long time aim of sticking her fingers in her ears and going lalalala to the crumbling world around her thats all, nothing more.
Let's hope a good chunk is spent on players....KR wants.
Its how they work, first they kick you in the nuts... then they come make it better again!!
