Everton Summer transfers 2021

[Barnfred 55]

You would think so although I remember thinking this when we loaned out Kenny last season

And Kean last season. We were all convinced we were bringing in a replacement. Wrong!!!

And so on. Really hope this is true

Don't go all Ricky Ryder on us, Dwight!

Would imagine that James, Gomes, Kean and Delph are the ones we are most hopeful to get rid of by the window's close.

Gomes: could fetch a bit of a fee and clears biggish wages
James: ditto
Kean: fee potential
Delph: wages

Move those four on and we might make a purchase like McNeil.

I'm sure there are others like Kenny that we want to move on, but they don't cause much of a book problem and won't fetch much of a fee (still a sale would be great). If Tosun wasn't broken he would be in the list above.

Take Gomes for example.
25M fee, 6M wages.
15M left amortisation

Keep him, you are 11M down this year, 11M down next year (assuming you don't sell him.)

Sell him for 15M, you are 6M better off this year, 11M better off next year

Sell him for 9M, you are neutral this year, 11M better off next year.

Let him go for free, you are 9M down this year, 11M better off next year

Loan him no fee (full wages paid), you are 5M down this year, 11M down next year (assuming you don't sell him).

More or less

Apparently he turned down a championship loan. He probably saw Ellis Simms tearing up the first division last year and decided it is better to play. Conversely, Gordon and Branthwaite had more difficult loans in the championship.
Good decision in my book.?

Reading was one of those clubs and they've had a couple of players off us the last few seasons and they've simply not played. The kid needs game time and if that means drop a division that's far more beneficial right now. Smart choice by the lad

Not sold on Anguissa myself. Another midfielder that doesn't score or assist really - is he all the different to what we already have there?

Very different.

He carries the ball forward regularly and successfully. He's a good passer and is strong and mobile.

 

[Stephenlloyd]

The operative word, for me don't take the chance.

Well we need to take the chance. We can’t stand still.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Don't go all Ricky Ryder on us, Dwight!

Eh? You'll have to explain the reference to me Windy!

Is he a Camberwick Green resident I've never come across? Mr Mickey Murphy got a new apprentice?!

 

[Mkemuy]

Yeah, short term fixes, works to create profit in the short term, creates a long term problem if you can't boost revenue in future seasons. But who cares about the future ?


Our number 10 is costing us 15M every season.

Delph- selling for 2M would leave us approx 3M better off this season (7M next season)

Mina- Sell for 10M would mean we were 4M better off this season, 11M better off next season.

Kean, sell for 11M would leave us cash neutral this season, 9M better off this season. So 31M sale = 20M better off this season.

Letting James go for free would see us somewhere between 5-10M better off this season.

Of course there is some guesswork in the salaries above, but they shouldn't be too far off.

(You actually need players to come in as well which probably negates some of the saving you'd make but the exits of number 19 and Delph at worst next summer = well over 20M less out the door)

Brillant mate.

On “Number 10”, how does that saving breakdown with the amortisation if his contract is terminated?

Also, if we sold Richy or Keane, whats the financial savings to wages? (Chose these 2 because big fees were involved and I’m assuming the club can have a lot more room to do deals, if they were to leave this year or next year)

We have too many of them already

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

We have too many of them already

Who??

 

[Dixie1sixty]

We have too many of them already

We don't have any ?

 

[blueconverse]

Who??

Strong Mobile midfielders who carry the ball forward and are good passes of the ball. (sorry I was trying to be funny and failed)

 

[Bkk Andy]

We could also use it creatively to cook our own books and create funds couldnt we eg. If we were hypothetically to sell Kean to Napoli for £50m but in return bought Koulibally for £50m - hyped up prices obviously but through amortisation and ffp wouldnt it provide both us and Napoli with a transfer pot neither of us had before a deal????

Wouldn't these overinflated prices catch up with us though as the inflated fee would impact several years? Also, selling anyone would become impossible without some kind of loss, no?

Take Gomes for example.
25M fee, 6M wages.
15M left amortisation

Keep him, you are 11M down this year, 11M down next year (assuming you don't sell him.)

Sell him for 15M, you are 6M better off this year, 11M better off next year

Sell him for 9M, you are neutral this year, 11M better off next year.

Let him go for free, you are 9M down this year, 11M better off next year

Loan him no fee (full wages paid), you are 5M down this year, 11M down next year (assuming you don't sell him).

More or less

Yep.

We have gone way over the top in wages which makes shifting them almost impossible.

Best we can hope with is a wage subsidy while he runs down his current deal.

So with Gomes we have a guaranteed loss of £15m in amortisation and £18m in wages.

To put that into perspective St Etienne is for sale free of debt for less than Andre Gomes will cost Everton over his 5 years at the club.

And Everton have had about 10 signings who have been just as bad financially.

He who must not be named: £45m + £25m wages
Bolasie: £27m + £20m wages
Gomes:£25m+ £30m wages
Tosun: £24m + £20m wages
Schneiderlin: £24m + £15m wages
Walcott:£20m+£20m wages
Niasse: £13m+£10m wages
McCarthy: £13m+£10m wages
Williams: £11m+£7m wages
Total = £359m worth of investment and only the top one has played more than a few matches for us
