2020/21 Allan

[diggerdestroyer]

Don’t understand why anyone would want to sell Allan. He’s easily our best midfielder and with a bit of quality around him would be even better. Only times he looked poor was when he had Gomes and Sigurdsson next to him. When he had a fully fit Doucoure with him he was class.

Exactly. But same wanted to sell lukaku and prob laud the talents of tom davis

Utter baloney reporting this. Maybe they can take Iwobi.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

20 million..hahahhahahahaha. good one Carlo you cretin

 

[PhilEFC]

I would refuse to sell anyone to him.

(Apart form Siggurdson, Iwobi, Gomes and Keane)

Hopefully lazy Journalism linking him to Ancelotti again. I hope he stays. I’m not sure he’s Real Madrid quality though so hopefully no truth to it.

Jarg source and quoting a fee in Euros that’s less than what we paid for him

I suggested this shortly after Carlo left.

When a manager joins a new club he likes to have a couple of players on the pitch who know exactly what the manager wants on the pitch.
Who better than someone who has played for the manager at previous clubs.

Allan would fit that description perfectly. He would be the manager while on the pitch certainly for the first difficult months
Everton won't want to sell but if Madrid come calling then Allan will be off.

Give us Fede Valverde in exchange and its on

You’re obsessed with age! I want the best players at our club to continue playing at our club. He is our best midfielder imo so I don’t want us to sell him. Just because he’s 30.5 years old doesn’t mean he’s going to turn crap!
And no, I don’t care if he never gets sold for as much as we paid and we ‘lose money’ on him. I care about our league and cup performance. I’d happily go buy a 31 year old if he was the best player we could possibly buy in that position and would improve our team next season.
Far better than all the money wasted on a prime age Iwobi!

Great forward planning...31 in Nov and contract up in 2023.

No one is paying more for a player over 30 and becoming injury prone.

He would be a squad player for them...a stopgap.

Thats would be amazing

 

[MikeH72]

Sell if true.

Yes I think having a good footballer under contract for a couple of years until he’s nearly 33 is good planning, how is it not?

We sold Gueye who is a similar type of player (better defensively but offers less in attack) and failed to replace him which ultimately cost Silva his job.
Selling the 30+ player made us worse - age isn’t everything.
Man Utd got second in the league and a Europa league final with an ancient Cavani being their best striker, few years before had similar with a Zlatan, Ronaldo wins the golden boot every season and he’s about 36, David Silva went and transformed Sociedad in La Liga, Sergio Ramos, Thiago Silva, pretty much every Italian center back all play at the highest level until they’re nearly 40.

Yes we need to plan for the future with signings like Godfrey, but signing players like Allan at 29 at the time, who may be at the back end of their careers but improve us now are also vital.

He's staying here, he's got a contract and nobody is willing to buy him. And that is good for our squad. No, he is not Real Madrid quality, but he is perfect for us.

If we start selling the best players our former manager bought to improve the squad, then let's sell them all and go back to Silva era and also rebuy Bolasie. FFS!

Everton player facing 'not one, but two fines' worth up to €160k for behaviour at previous club - Sport Witness

Everton fans, while this particular article doesn’t directly affect your club, it does involve one of your players: Allan. Let’s take you back to 2019, back when Carlo Ancelotti was Napoli manager and the Brazilian still played for the Italian side. In November of that year, the Serie A club...

Pretty much this. He'd still not be daft enough to hire Benitez at Everton mind.

He hired Benitez at Napoli though?
