If we can get nearer to forty million take it we can reinvest it

On Jonjo Shelvey...

 

[BlueStevie35]

£4.3m seems cheap for a full back that can cover both RB and LB

He’s 29 this year and always injured.

Ah that’s why then

 

[davek]

Delaney's a busy lad. Last year of his contract.

29, but well worth a punt.

 

[Rook]

is there a seldom used player we could get from PSG that's good in the deal?

Classic Everton signing then.

[billyblue80]

Could be loan with obligation though

 

[billyblue80]

PSG have a cheek really we should sell him elsewhere if they don't stump up

RW Bailey
CM Nunes
RB Dumfries
ST Rondon as back up
GK Romero

That is if no key players leave and depending on how many Brands can sell

Yeah if Sig or James go as looks likely we will need another creative player

 

[Bluestar]

It’s always an odd criticism of Brands. He literally can’t sell players for below their book value even if he wanted to as it crystallises our losses which go straight into the negative column for FFP and means less money for our transfer fund. That’s why we see so many loans, it’s getting players off the wage bill whilst their contracts run down, then when their market value is higher than their book value they can be sold and we’ve got the profit for FFP and also saved on wages during this period.

The likes of Bolasie is a prime example. If we pay 30 mill for him on a 5 year deal, will someone give us more than 18 mill after two years with us which he’s spent injured with an ACL? Will they give us 12 mill after 3 years? What about 6 mill after 4? Maybe, but even then the clubs who might be interested in an over 30 player who has lost his pace due to injury and hasn’t played properly in years like Boro for example probably don’t have over 6 million to give us. Therefore we end up keeping him out on loan until his contract expires meaning we keep his wages off the book and we don’t record an FFP loss.

It’s all Brand’s fault though for not just selling players better.

Nobody believes we have any financial limitations or have to comply with PL rules.

We were quite strongly linked when he was at Copenhagen, before he went to Bremen
