We would be mad to sell him at the his stage.

He has the potential to be a very good player

He's young, technically excellent and just needs to develop strength , athleticism and game awareness

For the record I don't want to sell him. I like him. If Moyes isn't lying then something needs doing on PSR. We don't know how big a number that is. Yes I've foolishly underestimated his demand & over estimated Derby's budget with a 'creative' idea but come end of season we have a very small list of players left & one of them needs selling (again, if true). That list gets even smaller of the players we would either want to sell or reluctantly sell. He’s on that small list.

This PSR thing could be the blockage before we are allowed to spend & we have a massive summer coming up. Short term he is the easiest, least painful to the immediate first team sale we could make. Patterson, Beto etc is a much harder sell to other clubs & Branthwaite really hurts us. Selling Branthwaite short to beat a deadline ala Richarlison would cause riots.
Patterson is the obvious one that if it could be done swiftly & early & covers whatever the PSR number is then wahoo, brilliant but this is Everton & nothing is easy.

Long term it would probably hurt us selling Armstrong but this coming window is more important than a current non first team player.

I think people have assumed Moyes comment means we have to sell someone. I didn't read it that way at all, and I'd be amazed if we do.

I took it as we are ok.

It's strange for Moyes to say it if we're OK though. Maybe playing poker to not get stiffed on transfers? Who knows. Would love Armstrong to develop into a first 11 player. I hope you're right.

I think he's lowering expectations and also explaining the lack of activity in January. He just said there was a bill, he didn't say we were in breach, and honestly most of the feedback was that we were fine even if we lost that charge.

I think he meant that there isn't really wriggle room prior to July 1st and the situation changes afterwards.

But we don’t knkw
What this payment is, could be 10mil could be less, could a naming rights deal cover this ??

I certainly wouldn’t be selling Armstrong, this kid could be anything. McNeil probably has a book price of 4mil, James garner probably less. We could easily make money off them two, Patterson like you say,
Even Beto and I’d be selling all them 4,
Before Armstrong
