I'm thinking about this from a realistic business point of view based on Everton's recent dealings and current plight.

If someone walked in and dropped £20m for him I can't see them saying no.

On current points with no more deductions, if he goes, we go down. He's worth a lot more than 20 million.

 

[NathDogg]

The hits just keep on coming.

Unless we screw them for crazy money and Dyche gets some to bring another player in, we have to say no.

 

[Runub]

Should only sell if it is absolutely necessary to avoid any imminent financial meltdown. Otherwise it would be madness to sell as it could relegate us. Would be impossible to replace in this window

Can you guys please start being more realistic.

People saying we couldn't turn down £50m... we lose this fella and we are likely to be gone. That's worth a lot more than £50m to the club.

If the club couldn't find at least 3 adequate replacements with 50 million we should sack absolutely every one of them

No. I just don't think 20 million is enough for us to consider selling arguably our most important player. We could probably get over £10 million for Patterson, for example. I'd sell Pickford and use half the money to replace him before we sold Doucoure for that. If it was the summer, or we were safe in mid-table, then I'd have a softer stance, but these things have to play a part.

 

[blue to the bone]

Yeah let's just sell our top scorer when we're odds-on for relegation. What could go wrong?

Where are we odds on ?

 

[Tony’s Carp]

I mean they’re just not going to offer fifty million pounds.

….realistic business point of view is the greater risk of relegation if he’s sold. If his loss sends us down, we lose a lot more than £20m. Regardless, as with these thing the player might not want that move anyway.

 

[Baggzio]

I don't see it happening, mostly because they're one of the "poor" Saudi clubs. If an absurd offer comes in I think we have to take it and reinvest but I just don't see it. £30m+ would be required really.

 

[Fralahna]

If we wanted to get rid, 20m sounds fine. But we don't. Hes our top goal scorer and adds a lot to the game. Its also a Saudi club and its Steven Gerrard. I say add another 0 on there just to p*** the rs off.

 

[John from Bootle]

Keep him then. Far as I know, we're not actively looking to sell him.

Hasn’t Gomes scored in around 270 minutes (or three games worth) of play in the role?

Edit: 158 mins played

Not the hero Everton wanted…

Please never become our DoF. No offence but if we sold our (arguably) best player for 20m, we will have had our pants down
