Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

I agree with the overall point you're making, but I presume we are still paying Sigurdsson's wages at the moment.

Do you think? It depends on the contract really but he isn't fulfilling the contract and isn't even listed as a squad player.

Theoretically if a player was in prison you would think a typical player contract would account for that as the contract to play couldn't be fulfilled?
 

Sigurdsson's total cost including wages is £80 million (assuming no sell on fee).

Does that make him the worst value transfer in our history?
It's hard to think of a worse one. Of course, transfer fee inflation makes comparisons difficult - for example, we spent £4.5M (I believe) on Slaven Bilic back in 1997 or thereabouts, and that was an absolute fortune then.

BTW I think it's safe to assume that we will get no sell on fee for him. At least there's zero chance of him getting a contract extension now.

The club has suspended him, this is often the case in employment when someone is being investigated for a crime that may reflect badly on the company or put the employee at risk from public reaction. As the person is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law the suspension must be on full pay as they have done no wrong until proven otherwise.
