It's about wages for a player who is 29 and we will not be able to sell if it goes wrong.

You act like 29 is finished or something like that when most players play to the same level until they’re about 33 these days. Also our wages aren’t really a problem at all and never have been.

A free transfer like Lingard, let’s say he signed a 3 year deal with an option for a 4th, even if he’s only decent for 2 years we can easily ship him on to a lower down team for a fee. We’ve taken probably over half a million pound a week off the wage bill already so far this summer, if not more. We can afford the likes of Tarkowski and Lingard on higher wages because if we were to buy players of their quality, which we can’t, we’d be paying £15m at least in fees, if not more.

Also are we gonna pretend that Townsend wasn’t decent for us last year, despite the fact he was 29 when he signed, from a much worse team and is certainly a worse player than Lingard.
 
At the Everton board meeting:

Moshiri: “right guys how can we learn from past mistakes?”

Kevin Thelwell: “sign Jesse Lingard?”

*entire boardroom stand up clapping and cheering like the Oscars

DBB: “Fantastic. Visionary you know what Marcel Kevin…you’re on the board now”

This is coming to us shortly, why would anyone be in favour of hiking back up our already insane wage bill? Swear you just want us to do a Derby.

Nobody is saying that though. Everyone who is positive towards this signing is saying ‘on a free, on the right deal’.

Creative midfield was lacking massively last season with no Sigurdsson or James
Goals from midfield were missing massively last season for the same reason
He can do this for a wage that would probably be a third of Sigurdsson/James combined - why is that an issue?

Can we?

Have we managed that with any of our over-the-hill signings under Moshiri? Or have they all sat on their fat contracts until the bitter end?

Yeh we’ve had great success with the bold. Almost like we haven’t just had to keep letting loads go for free.
