THE BILLION POUND GAMBLE
The talk at FFT Towers after Romelu Lukaku signed for Everton in 2014 was all about the transfer fee.

In a market where an international full-back costs £50m, a fee of £75m for one of the league’s best forwards was a no-brainer. By the time Neymar arrived in Paris, Lukaku had become a £75m bargain. How will he and the other big summer signings get on? Find out in this issue.
