Well they offered £21m? Not nearly enough. Clearly the player is for sale. He was meant to be one of our main targets, so why have we failed in signing him?
Please stop looking for some one to be angry at until you're even sure that there's something to be angry about. You're inventing things that haven't happened, and then inventing reasons why they're somebody's fault. It's almost like ...

Hey! @MartyMcFly, is that you?

Maybe..... might have a buyer in the pipeline for Berhino.......... and use the cash in that direction............ it's all wheeling and dealing avrio mate.
 
Numerous well respected ITK posters on different forums had it as a done deal practically mate. Nothing to do with journos. For it to fall through for whatever reason and to see him sign at WBA, should that miracle eventuate, will be humiliating.
Humiliating for who anyone who gets humiliated over a transfer is quite frankly a very sad human being. Get a life
 


so if that is true what makes everton players different and why root for a pro team? I think it's more complicated than that and it's not nearly as far off from the things everyday people want in their jobs.

to feel valued (financially surely, but also at their place of work (eg playing time)), to create a sense of meaning (have big moments, rewarding relationships with a fanbase, etc), to have success (play in the highest competitions, titles etc), and a job that permits the desired personal life of that player (and though this might seem ridiculous to us professional footballers work and socialize with other professional footballers, hangers on and generally rich, good looking people giving a distorted view of what that might require).

certainly all of these things lead to higher wages and bigger profiles but each player values these things differently and everton can primarily offer wages and a sense of meaning via 'the project' atm. there's not really convincing evidence strong enough to sway a neutral professional that we're a better spot to play than Man U or Juventus for only 15 more grand a week or whatever.
