No one will ever forget Martina at left back mate

Player Valuation: £70m
But Walcott has played that role and has proven capable of doing it.
Martina at left back is not a reasonable comparison.
Hangleton
Player Valuation: £25m
We could bring Cuco back to play striker?
And that shows how risky it can be to not have appropriate cover

Player Valuation: £80m
On loan? Oh hell no...needs to go for good. We can't keep on loaning players out while their value decreases and they end back here. Knock down price back to Turkey please.
That’s the point, surely? He doesn’t need replacing because he’s only played for an hour all season.
That's not a sensible comparison. One is an abomination of a footballer who wouldn't be good enough in the top flight in any position in any era. The other has a hundred odd top flight goals.

It's the Brands way.
FFS, if Tosun becomes the 19th player to go out on loan in 7 months then surely the penny has to drop with those still singing Brands' praises.
I don't think he has been proven capable
Nor has Richarlison for that matter if we're getting down to brass tacks
The past few weeks have made me think that Richarlison isn't the answer up front and should go back to the wing if I'm being honest
That would leave us with just DCL as our lone proper striker if Tosun left
If Tosun leaves and we replace him then fine, but if he goes and we don't then it's a mistake IMO
Go to bed Dave we’ve had a chilled Thursday evening without you.

Just another week to chill while Everton bring no one in and loan out more players. The club are loving that.
it's a perfectly sensible comparison
I could also mention shoehorning Sigurdsson to play on the wing
Playing players out of position usually isn't the best idea
I’m loving it. Lots of wet sheets on GOT at the minute.
We can't afford to sell him for a low fee. His book value will still be massive and the loss will hurt us from spending in the summer under FFP.
It's extremely frustrating we can't sell the dross on permanent deals. There's really no excuse with players who have been here 2, 3 or more years. But players who've been here less than that are a major problem. Taking hits on them makes our summer spending very difficult. We already took a major hit on Klassen.
Loans can be an option for players with long contracts. We get their wages off the books temporarily, and their book value is depreciated (reduced) over time. We can then eventually sell them cheap and not take as big a hit.
It is an utter mess as we speak though. And we have a major problem when about 20 loan players turn up again for pre season.
