Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[Eggs]

Wonder where Willian is heading? Free transfer and 10 times better than Walcott. Would be good signing for 2/3 years. Tricky, direct and would save spending on untested players like Under, Lozano or Soares.

...he’ll be 32 by the time he kicks a ball for his new club, he’ll take one final big pay day and I doubt whether games will be important to him.

It’s very telling that during the break of no footy we were linked with all kinds of players, now footys back and the media don’t need clicks. It’s all gone quiet.

I did wonder how during lockdown when people couldn’t even see families and leave the house, we were somehow speaking to all kinds of agents about players.

82m for Athur, I remember when everybody told me fees would all drop to sub 20m.

Wasn't Mbappe worth £30m now, or something!

Wasn't Mbappe worth £30m now, or something!

And Cohn-Bendit, the European MP for France, says that the striker who joined PSG for a whopping £165.7m in 2017, could now be worth just a fraction of that fee.
“After the coronavirus crisis is over, he [Mbappe] will not be worth more than 35 or 40 million [euros] rather than 200,” wrote Cohn-Bendit in his column for Ouest France.
"And who will be able to buy him?”

Mbappe for €40m? French MEP says Covid-19 could slash striker’s value

PSG and France star Kylian Mbappe's valuation could drop to as little as €40million because of the coronavirus pandemic, according to French MEP Daniel Cohn-Bendit.

It's a no from me too. I think Willian is a good but not great player anyway.

We MUST buy Mbappe

We MUST buy Mbappe

At 40m I would buy him at least 5 times.

We need to be looking to fetch fees for Walcott, Keane, Bernard and Sigurdsson this window given their contract lengths - don't think there's a chance we'll be selling all of them this window but we should be gauging any interest in them now

Presumably the fee would have to be more than the book value or we would register a loss. That makes Sigurdsson a nightmare to shift, but Bernard is pure profit.

But Juve are getting £72mill for Pjanic. Its basically a FFP get around, which is just as bad as owners spending ££££.

Need to get rid of the FFP rules, a joke.

Nobody complains when Uncle Uzzy lashes 30m at us for naming rights or pays us millions to have USM plastered everywhere.

Im just saying, glass houses and stones.

Links please?

The sporting director of Juventus has played down talk of a move to the Premier League for Adrien Rabiot.

It has been a mixed first season in Italy for Rabiot, who joined them after his PSG contract expired in 2019. The midfielder has already been linked with a departure.

Before he joined Juventus, Rabiot was attracting interest from the Premier League. And speculation about a move to England has reignited in recent weeks.

Reports claim that Carlo Ancelotti is interested in taking Rabiot to Everton. However, it was then suggested that Juventus would only allow him to leave if they got a star defender in return.

Manchester United are also said to have made contact with his representatives. Once again, though, the financial aspects of the deal may scupper it.

And any remaining chances of Rabiot moving to the Premier League appear to have been ruled out by Fabio Paratici. The Juventus sporting director insists that the midfielder’s slow start to life in Turin does not mean he will be moved on.

“Let’s not forget that Rabiot is in his first year in Italy, and the first year is always special,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

“At the start of the season, we could see the same doubts over Matthijs de Ligt, who happened to be the best defender in the Champions League [with Ajax last season] at the age of 19. Now I see there is a different opinion of him.

“Rabiot also arrived from PSG after six months of inactivity. He had to catch up with his physical condition.

“That said, he is a great player, someone who is very important for Juventus today and will be for the future.”

Decent write up that explains how the Arthur/Pjanic deal is legalised money laundering.
