Exactly what we needSo was Ross Barkley
I think if you sign him on free transfer for a short deal there’s not much to lose even if he’s a squad player
Ok mate, give him another 3 years at 100k a week, just in case he plays again.So was Ross Barkley
More I trust Dyche get him fit "Dyche fit". If Dyche is happy on that front more than happy.Do some Evertonians actually want to give him a new contract?
Jesus h Christ on a bicycle, that’s incredible .
It's all good and well feeling sorry for the guy, but Everton is a business operating in a ruthless industry. It's no good acting like a care home for dropouts.Nice to see some compassion towards a young lad who spent a lot of his childhood in turmoil and has clearly gone through a bout of heavy depression.
If signing him as a free agent involves having to pay any sort of fee to Spurs, then clearly it's not something we should even consider.
£5m would still be a lot of money to be honestThat would depend greatly on what sort of fee and what sort of payment structure we are talking.
The only way this would make sense is if the next contract was fairly heavily incentivised on appearances, certainly nowhere near the basic salary he earns today. I don't know what the PFA deem acceptable, nor do I know if he would accept that sort of deal. Secondly, whatever we pay to Spurs would need to be an amount reflective of his current standing - i.e. not kicked a ball in over a year, not been at his best for about 5 years and has had all sorts of personal problems which have affected and may potentially continue to affect his football. That being the case, we really are talking a low figure and nothing whatsoever like the £10m we would owe them after his next 7 games - £5m at an absolute push.
It just isn't worth it otherwise and the alternative is that Spurs get zero for him when he becomes a free agent in 4 months.
Even then, with all of that in place I wouldn't personally do it unless we continue to be in the sort of precarious financial position which makes this the sort of deal we are scrambling around for and, importantly, if Dyche is confident he can get a tune out of him
I have compassion for his life story and problems he had.Nice to see some compassion towards a young lad who spent a lot of his childhood in turmoil and has clearly gone through a bout of heavy depression.
£5m too much to be perfectly honest.£5m would still be a lot of money to be honest
