Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[Goat]

I can dismiss some bit-part player for Atletico.

I’d rather play Kenny than have an ageing player on higher wages who we’ll be wanting to shift next year but won’t be able to because no one will buy him.

We’re now a sell-to-survive club, we need a model of buying young players to then sell on. Buying old hasbeens leaves you like Sunderland.

You just called a 28 year old an ageing player.

Christ.

Take that back please

Loan is fine but definitely should not be buying.

what if we're buying him for about 4 million

Another player who’s almost 29. This is not a good business model.

I struggle with this obsession of age concerns...... 28 will give us at least 4 years service at a players peak, if like Baines 8

we have to adjust the model to adapt to the needs on the pitch today. As long as we can buy a broad selection of players, young, promising, experience and quality I have no concerns

the money men of the club know what they are doing, they will have short term / mid term and long term business plans to grow the business

right now we need experience, quality and leadership to develop the young squad and bring success on the pitch quicker imho

 

[Stephenlloyd]

that means JJK is going? Can't be having 3 RB's surely.

Obviously

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

anybody here would fancy Özil?

Everton

come for the Arsenal retreads, stay for the Arsenal retreads

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Everton target Allan has operation on cruciate ligament

I just choked on my water

 

[Tel001]

How has this fat ginge landed that job after his time here?

Detest him.

probably because we top up his wages to whatever he was on here... so he’s probably on 6 pound an hour from Barca with us paying the rest upto 5m a year

In football terms they are.

In football terms its their peak years.

Take that back please

We’re following their business model, it’s only right.

Fee isn’t the issue, it is the wages an older player will be getting from us.

 

[Lloydystark]

Zouma was right-footed, so was Jags.

I personally think people put far too much emphasis on what footed defenders are.

100% this

I think that’s a HUGE exaggeration.
