I'm typically very skeptical of people reporting wages but that's given me a headache
yeah I guess the only thing is that will definitely have come from Fulham so if they're briefing that to the Standard then it's just from their side isn't it.

I really do doubt we'd have given him that much (but of course wouldn't be surprised).
 
Have heard Thelwell has to report to a “technical committee” that has final approval on transfers mate…..
Lampard and Thelwell both sign off on signings mate and then I imagine part of that process involves working with Bill, in the main, to get deals done.

Kenwright's still doing a fair bit of negotiating, for sure.
 

They won’t let him go unless they bring someone in, and with the gakpo deal dying, you wonder who there back up plan is.

Is elanga the best we can do though?

Though I’m sure he’s talented he ain’t the finished article - Not sure we need young, developing players at this stage - we’ve got a few of them ourselves already, who he will just push out the queue for minutes.
Find it mental elanga would be one of our first choices, doesn’t make sense to me, especially this early in the window. As a last resort fair enough, but we should be trying for better.
Wolves spending, forest and Southampton looking to spend, Leeds probably will too, while we loan a kid from utd. It’s not good enough, not when we have till June to balance the books.
 
That’s dumb and you mention messi and
Barcelona. It was well known how good messi was going to be at a very young age, even if he was Gordon/Dominic Calvert-Lewin level, he would have broke into that team alongside some very expensive world class players.

Gordon who has had 1 season in the prem and shown decent promise, is playing alongside gray at 1.7mil, rondon on a free, maupay at 12mil Townsend on free if he comes back. And Dominic Calvert-Lewin has had 2 good season out of 7 for Everton
You’re talking about potential like when we signed Dom we didn’t think his value would rise either. What teams paid for players isn’t the way to talk about how good their team is - Haaland cost about half what Nunes did and who would you rather line up with?
 

thing is though while Lampard signs off on deals it's not his job to be scouting players - or have the scouting system in place - or to have deals lined up. So I have sympathy there.

I have sympathy with Thelwell too, he's had a lot to do, but there were clear areas of need in the summer. I said at the time, and stand by, that in fairness we had tons of areas of need, but to not get the attacking signings required is pure incompetence.
Im working on teh assumption that our DOF and Coach work together though. This is Everton though, so who knows.

My main point to all this was our owner, Chairman and board allowed us to go into a a season With 3 fit forwards, 2 championship Standard and the other a kid. I was merely pointing out including the 2 injured it was a cheap forward line and you pay for quality.

It was well know dom was out for 8/9 games and the board did nothing Untill deadline day and 4 or 5 games had past, when they bought another championship forward in for 12mil
