Transfer Rumour Gabriel (Lille)

[TheSecondComing]

Make no mistake, the ONLY thing that is clear is that we were interested pre-COVID and when the GLOBAL PANDEMIC hit the club didn't want to commit to paying a huge amount of money without knowing the knock on effect. There is NOTHING wrong with that whatsoever, some would rather we paid the money and then went into administration just to be pro-active.

Nobody knows the situation now. Nobody apart from those at the club. I am not for or against Brands, he has alot to do and prove but a DOF's job isnt a job for one year, its seeing a plan and developing the club over a longer period.

It is absolutely comical, to see you, with a blatent vendetta against the man trying to beat him with a stick that has been made due to a global pandemic. If you dont like him, that's fine but trying to suggest this situation is down to him is nonsense because you have no facts at all, zero facts.

Nor do you.

Simple.

You know you can buy multiple positions at once?

Will be crying when Holgate is injured and we try and play a high line with Keane and Mina.

quite happy with our CB options tbh, Depends on what your view of Branthwaite is, CB is pretty low on the list for me so if we miss out on him, NEA personally.

No are you acting stupid for a reason?

It’s called re-negotiating a deal because you think you can save some penny’s.There’s nothing to suggest COVID has effected values yet.

There is no fact to say that he has re-negotiated anything. Nothing. Not laying out 25-30m during a global pandemic is smart, better clubs coming in always going to ba risk but we aren't a huge club who can make people wait as long as we want.

A very rude person aren't you.

Exactly? Which is why I am not ranting about Brands every five minutes or praising him every five minutes. You're basing all this of speclation, I am holding back because we don't know the facts.

Surely not, what's that roughly £40k a week? I know we shouldn't be offering silly wages to try and get people to sign but his agent has done him a poor service if that's all he's getting.

Wages in Italy are reported as net wages, so it's probably ~£80k pw.

 

[Philljacobs]

Just buy another CB innit. Hes not the only one in world football.

Not really I just have to deal with constant stick on here since joining because my view on Everton is some warped sense of reality.

Apologies if I’ve come across that way.

I give you a example of something I’ve dealt with when, selling an industrial unit in a location, everything agree prior to COVID, they ask for extended time and to see COVID out, fine do that and once the restrictions get lifted we will carry on.

comes back try’s to knock money off because of COVID, we explain there’s no evidence we can’t what we wanted, ended up selling to someone else for the previously agreed price.

Obviously it’s not £20 Million but the concept is the same in my opinion.

Right now, in August, it doesn't seem like values have been affected no.

But if the stories are true, we pulled the plug on the original deal in March because at that point nobody had any idea how much the whole thing would affect football.

Regardless, nobody has any idea whats fact and whats just made up by the press, but you and your negative cronies just constantly spread baseless speculation as though it were fact and use it as ammunition to suit your agenda

That's putting it kindly. He's a bit of a ....

Yeah, not saying it.

 

[vinvinvin]

Last year we tried to sign Marcos Rojo on deadline day after playing the ‘long game’ with Kurt Zouma all summer. Lessons should be learned from a debacle like that.

Negative, that suggest there’s information around to be positive about?

Don’t get why our fans ask for content positivity when there’s nothing tangible to be positive about.

Our manager is boss but needs the tools to get us where we want to be.

Our stadium is going to be unreal.

I am positive when I seen tangible things in-front of me.

I think the lesson to be learned is have better B and C targets and don't just put all your eggs in one basket. Hopefully our back up options are better than <insert Chelsea fringe player here> on loan and <insert United or Arsenal cast off here> for a silly fee.

 

[Cing C0br]

Let's not forget that Burnley, a club who have been in the premier league 5 out of the last 6 seasons, were seriously concerned they were going to go bust before football started up again.

I'll be disappointed if we miss out on Gabriel, but it would've been irresponsible to sanction the deal at the time.

That makes a lot more sense!

We're not asking for wild baseless positivity tho.

You wont catch myself or any other poster here posting: 'GABRIEL DEFO OURS WERE GONNA WIN THE LEAGUE NEXT YEAR'

But you and a few others constantly push negative assertions that there is absolutely no way you can know are true, for example:

'We're doing nothing / Brands is sitting on his arse / we're settling for mediocrity'

None of these statements are backed up by any sort of fact, its all just speculation, do you really, honestly think Brands is not trying to do deals? That he just goes on holiday and plays golf and picks up his paycheck? Do you honestly believe that to be true?

Because there are tonnes of posts along those lines every day and its based on absolutely nothing apart from wet bedsheets

We all accept there is not a lot to be positive about at the minute, nobody is trying to suggest that it is all rosy. But the repetitive, unfounded, negative speculation put across as fact every day is just ridiculous and really tedious
