Player Valuation: £80m
Football has moved a fair bit to understanding that wages, and contract length are as important as fee.
If wed have paid double what we did for Gomes, but had him on 50% of the wages and a year less contract we could probably move him on easily now.
On the flip of Lingard, someone told me in January that Lingard, Loftus Cheek and Alli were desperate to play for Lampard. I didnt read too much into it, even after we signed Alli. But sounds like it makes more sense.
It doesnt show weve learnt many lessons though.
I'm desperate to play for Everton too mate, but at 48yo never being really thst good at footy anyway and with a messed up knee from doing s cruciate years ago, I shouldn't, same applies to Lingard.
If Dele is that desperate, then I'd expect to see the evidence of him turning up in great shape and tearing it up in pre season, otherwise it's just words not backed by actions.
RLC I expect will arrive IF Gallacher stays as think literally we have them as the loan/ possible buy options for that spot.
