Not open for further replies.
A £25m, £150k per week Kevin Davies

Imagine that, Everton wanting to challenge the top 6 and we have Sam Allardyce rebuilding his Bolton side.

And has already explained the tactical genius, football science expert has a game plan of sitting deep, hoofing it to a hefty centre forward and picking up the lose ball in the final third
 
Replacing him with Demba Ba used to be half decent him, but at 32 and had a bad leg break a while back, cant see them having to pay to much for him, if he is fit could score loads in there league .

Demba Ba is a free transfer for Besiktas and if happens he will be backup for Negredo in the league that's all we expect from him. If he goes beyond that then we're in luck.
 

£145k a week is a joke!!! We call ourselves the people’s club so why not spend that on the community instead? It’s all just a face and we don’t really care about the less privileged. I am done with this club.

Have we really reached the point where people are saying we should stop buying players and just start dishing out money to locals instead lol

Imagine the Sky Sports News ticker - EVERTON PULL OUT OF STRIKER DEAL. WILL FOCUS ATTENTION ON PAINTING THE RED BRICK.

I absolutely despair sometimes. Well I wish it was sometimes, it’s most of the time.

The community ffs lol
 
Problem is, we're bringing in all these average players on well above average wages. The squad needs completely overhauling but it's going to be incredibly difficult to offload a lot of them.

I've no idea if this Cenk guy is going to be any good in the premier, but talk of £145k pw is silly. There can't be that many players in the Premier on higher salaries than that (maybe 20ish). United, for example, have the joint highest average weekly earnings at £100k, and theirs will be heavily loaded by massive salaries to big earners like Lukaku, Pogba and Zlatan. Same with City. The rest of the big boys have average first team wages of less than £75k.

100% agree mate. I think whoever recruits these players also needs his p45
 

This guy is strikingly similar statistically to strikers like Kevin Davies. He holds it up, he lays it off, he tries to occupy defenders in the middle. But he never dribbles and is extremely slow for a centre forward.

He has his pros and cons but in a team already utterly devoid of pace, especially in full back areas, I don't think this guy is the ideal choice. I'm only basing this on the numbers and he has a number of strengths, but I'm not convinced.
He isn't quick, but he's a terrific dribbler of the ball. It's certainly one of his strengths, so not sure what games you are watching.

Genuine question. How often have you seen him play in full games and not clips from youtube.
What are you basing your assessment of him being slow on as different reports that I have seen alternate between him being fast and slow.

Based on his physique alone I would expect him to have some pace as he seems to have a light build rather than the battering ram that was Kevin Davies.... a player that I thought was a decent player always.

Which reminds me. We do exactly the same with average managers. Hate to think how much we've paid out in compo over the last 2 years alone. Unless the current guy starts shaking things up you can expect another shedload in the summer.

An improvement on the last two managers who had no plan at all tbf
