why are people on here saying no re sale? What's wrong with you? What top club buys a player in their prime years with the vision of making a profit? We've got a vast array of good youngsters at the club already, we'll probably sell a couple of those on for a good profit just like we did with lukaku and stones, if that's the kind of thing that floats your boat.
But i'd rather an everton that buys their number one targets and they spend their best career years here. We're not a moneyball club like those loons across the park who have been pretty yoyo over the last couple of years with no success.
We all know the money's stupid. But we paid about £10m too much for pickford, we paid about £10m too much for keane. On the flip we probably got sandro for about £15m-£20m cheaper than we should, rooney £10m. At the end of the day some signings will be overpaid for, some will be a bargain, we've had our fair share of bargains over the years it must be said.
There's not one player currently proven in the premier league that we could buy anywhere near siggurdsson's standard. All the stats prove that, of course we could throw £40m at someone abroad who is possibly a bigger name and MAY provide better success, but is saving that measly extra £5m that some don't want us to pay for siggurdsson worth the risk to get someone from abroad? Not imo, and i don't think that's he opinion of the manager, the staff or the club. We're buying players to make us a solid force on the domestic front first, setting up the base before we start thinking of attracting flashy foreigners who may totally flop in this country.
