Transfer Rumour Jaden Philogene

[Eidean]

I doubt we’ve wanted to pay the £21million + & rightly so if we’ve limited funds as it is.

We got hit with a points deduction - the league wanted to give us 18 points.

Chelsea have been allowed to sell hotels and their training ground to stop PSR calling.

Manchester United where given extra money for Covid to stop them breaching PSR.

We have sold all of our players baring Pickford and Dom.

The league would have rather we jibbed Sigurdsson off and dealt with him suing us in court than what we did. Which was allow him to run his contract down. Mendy for Man City was the same but city jibbed him and are now being sued. This went against our PSR.

Nobody will ever convince me that the premier league want us there, they don’t.

Always will be the example the PL used to keep the independent regulator at bay.

Everyone else will get a slap on the wrist.

Yes, get rid of the problem.

By problem do you mean the football club that is now compliant with their rules?

Someone cheaper with the same profile but I doubt we can even afford 10m at this stage

Villa wanted ideally to loan him out, with the view to buy - he has played two games one in Europe & one in the prem - we can send Harrison back - but Dyche obviously did not want that - I think we have dodged a bullet at that fee TBH ....

The rules are bs. Why has nobody else been charged than us or Forest but United can be a billion in debt.

Because its about profitability & sustainability not debt. United can sustain their debt. People on big salaries can typically afford big mortgages.

You can have your opinion I can have mine.

True but they're rules not opinions.

He's played in around 14 or 15 games I think, not 2.

So how are we a problem to the Premier League?

I read 2 one in Europe & 1 in the prem = full games others must be substitute appearances.....

 

[Amokachi1995]

I guess the hope is we have a number of irons in the fire and he wasn't our first choice. We desperately need something though.

 

[Zatara]

It would be a fantastic deal for us, why would Sunderland sell him for so little?
Fellows would be worth it, but again, why would West Brom chose to cripple their season to get the going rate for one of their best players?

£21mil+ add ons for Rigg seems like a good deal for both party's to me. If he becomes that good the add ons may be sizeable...also they can use the money to push them onto promotion.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Strange choice by the player...more chances of getting relegated with Ipswich than us. Even if their manager played a part in convincing the player, it's extremely likely that have a new manager in the summer even possibly sooner. So dyche couldn't really be a factor...not too fuss to be honest as clearly still unproven in the pl.

Dyche now and what Everton have been over the last few years, does not make us an attractive place to be. Going to take time build Everton brand up again. We used to be known bringing youngsters on, nothing could be further from the truth in January 2025... Braithwaite being about the only one, and that was down to pressure from fans on Dyche and he often throws him under the bus too.
