Confirmed Signing Allan

[roydo]

FIVE years? Crikey. If the clubs are nattering about £10m, just give him a 3 year, with an extension option.

 

[Azza]

Long contract for an 'old' player. Faffing around over a few £m.


Definitely true, that's Everton all over.

 

[PeregrineT]

Wouldn’t be surprised if all this dithering results in a failed transfer.

Classic Everton, the village idiots of the transfer market.

Yeah, we should definitely pay out whatever outrageous price they want for a player who wont play for them and has insisted on only us so we all hold the cards.

Because Siggurdson worked out soooo well. I know who the village idiot is here...

 

[Blue Shoes]

Of course he immediately accepted that contract offer ha

 

[Stephenlloyd]

Forth official on twitter, is he reliable? Said he’s having a medical

Sigurdsson was also a disaster due to dithering.
If the other team doesn’t accept the initial offer, move on.
There are literally hundreds of potential players out there.

 

[GwladysBlue]

5 yearslol

 

[Papa Shango]

We had this under Moyes and when he left all we needed was someone who could carry it on.
But no. Billy Billshutter allowed Bobby to totally rip it up and start again. Worked great for 6 months but we are were we are now because of that.

We had zero strikers of any note when Moyes left.

And a new manager should be able to do what he thinks best, otherwise why employ him?

 

[neil999]

So takes him to 34, fine by me

5 years = less of his transfer fee on the books this year.

If he signs for £30 million on a 3 yr deal thats £10 million on the books this yr

If he signs a 5 yr its only £6 million per yr which means that £4 million this summer could go towards another signing.

Obviously wages wise could come back to bite us if he's finished by age 32/33 with another 1-2 years left on his deal but FFP speaking this summer it helps us.

People forget 5 years = less of his transfer fee on the books this year.

If he signs for £30 million on a 3 yr deal thats £10 million on the books this yr

If he signs a 5 yr its only £6 million per yr which means that £4 million this summe4 cluld go towards another signing.

As the Vicar said to the Nun, come again?

 

[Connor]

Those pesky Italian football journalists are at it again

which is probably the exact reason we always give out 5 year deals. Have done since the Moyes days.

 

[Lelouch]

he's getting 5 years cause he's gonna win a cup for us and then retire on a nice fat wedge while his bronze statue gets built outside BMD

Gentle reminder that Corriere dello Sport and the Italian media are not to be trusted unless its somebody with a bit of pedigree.
