It's not a one off for us. We do it constantly. Stones last summer; it'll be Barkely and Lukaku this season and no doubt Davies sometime in the future. We then use that to buy more players.

It's just what we do. The model.

Just out of curiousity, do you think we'd have been better off keeping Stones and passing up the £45 million or (whatever it was) in funds?
 

You moan the man is going to saddle the club with long term stadium related debt yet yearn for him to be at the forefront of 100m plus transfer outlays.

Go figure which side of the fence fits your WUM agenda this hour eh.
Given he argued that the interest free, no repayment date, £80m loan note that Moshiri put in was just another debt, then I wouldn't hold your breath for an answer. He's really scraping the barrel with this wum angle now
 

Unsecured overdraft facility. Flexible, and fast.

Unavailable without a Grade A credit rating. Most good businesses have ready streams of unsecured credit on tap.

Some will, inevitably, spin it another way.

Still has to be paid back. No doubt by player sales

This will be why we've been able to spend big before selling rom.
 
Buying players willy nilly this summer, Everton and Ronald Koeman are making it clear they mean business, even planning for the future with the purchase of Henry Onyekuru.

The young Nigerian starlet was one of the most wanted youngsters in Europe when the season came to an end, with a stream of clubs wanting his services for around €8m.

Everton eventually came out top of the lot after seeing off, according to Herman Van Holsbeeck, Anderlecht’s director of football, 47 other interested clubs, and, for work permit reasons, sent him on loan to Anderlecht.

How did they do it? Well, the Belgian magazine say it was just a case of Farhad Moshiri knowing the right people.



Anderlecht had wanted Onyekuru for quite some time, but with the forward dreaming of a move to the Premier League, the clubs interested from there were his priority.

The man to thank in all of this is Christophe Henrotay, Belgium’s biggest agent and one Everton know well from their previous dealings with him.

Henrotay, who represents Youri Tielemans, organised a meeting between Moshiri and Herman Van Holsbeeck, when the Toffees were interested in the young Belgian midfielder, who eventually went to Monaco.

A few weeks later, Moshiri is said to have called Henrotay to tell him he wanted Onyekuru, but was planning on sending him on loan to Anderlecht.

At this point, the Belgian agent called Anderlecht’s director of football, who forwarded him to Mogi Bayat, another agent who was hired by KAS Eupen to sort out the Onyekuru deal.

Keeping up?

That same evening, Henrotay sorted out a plane for Bayat, Onyekuru’s “official” agent and a lawyer and the next day the deal taking the Nigerian starlet to Everton was signed without Anderlecht ever having to move.

Why did it happen so quickly towards the end? Because bigger clubs started circulating, including Paris Saint-Germain, who had a similar plan to Everton, but with Antwerp.

As for Anderlecht, they are taking on the entirety of Onyekuru’s wages for the duration of the loan.

See? Agents aren’t always evil. All’s well that ends well. Sometimes.
