Reports Barca want £21m for Couthinho. That sounds like a very low price, if its true I think we should pay it. I know he has had injury problems, but if we can get him on a 3 year deal, thats fairly low risk, given what he is capable of

Everton will have to pay £21 million if they want to sign Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona this summer according to Mundo Deportivo.

Sounds like Inter have been put off Dumfries because of the "high fee" (think its £25m). So the way might be clear for us now. But the player might be waiting to see if Inter and PSV can come to some agreement.

Selling our better players has not worked out well for us over the last decade.

We never replaced properly Lukaku, Barkley or Stones, for example.

If we are going to build, we build based on keeping the better players and adding quality instead of the muck we have been buying for the most part.

Better recruitment needed but reinvigorating Richarlison is vital. He was superb again for Brazil the other night and Yerry looks one of the best defenders in the Copa America too. He has to stay as well.

Thats because as a club we've always been reactivate, Where we should be proactive.

We should have plans in place for selling the players we buy in 3 year cycles. The 1st season they are a squad player and integrate into the team 2nd season they are first teamer 3rd season we buy their replacement in the summer to integrate them into the squad and at the end of the 3rd season we sell them at a profit.

As a club in the Premier league with FFP and the PL version that we need to adhere too. We cant be afraid of selling our best players and reinvesting into the squad. In all honesty that needs to be our business model. Its our current plan of keeping hold as players for as long as we can and embarrassing ourselves by begging them to stay "one more season" that is crippling us in the transfer market.

Look at Richarlison for example. He came out last September and said he wanted to leave in the summer but ancelotti begged him to stay another season. So he'll be looking to move this summer. Why didn't we buy his replacement that summer? Bailey was available for €25m according to reports and was desperate to move to the Premier league. We could of bought him and now we'd be happily listening to offers for Richarlison knowing we already have his replacement on the books.

Instead what we do as a club is beg them to stay till they bang in a transfer request or something in the last week. Then we have to scrabble around trying to find a replacement and end up overpaying on kak like iwobi because the season has already started, nobody wants to sell their players and they know we have money.
