2022/23 Jordan Pickford

[Papa Shango]

We sold Richarlison for £50-60mil and spent close to £70mil.

The way FFP works is designed to favour selling clubs.

It doesn't work though does it?

We are back where we started.

We are back where we started.

How do you mean?

 

[Runub]

I am very confident that we would have been relegated in either of the last two seasons without Pickford. Given we are likely to fe fighting at the wrong end of the table again this season it would be madness to sell

 

[roy vernon]

For what we would get for Pickford, about 40-45 million in my opinion, could we replace him adequately and improve the team in other positions? I don't believe we could, I don't believe anyone will offer us 60 million plus for him, but, that has to be the level at which we start listening to offers. He is on a long newly signed contract and is happy at the club, I don't think he would kick up too much of a fuss if we refused to sell him for anything less than a kings ransom.

The reality is, if we sell Pickford without replacing him with another good keeper and adding a couple of goal scorers, we will go down. How much would that cost? By all means sell, but, only for ridiculous fee.

We should be able to. It shouldn't be a challenge to. But this is Everton and even the most basic parts of running a club are challenging.

I think he means we're still in the brown stuff without a pot to piss in, but I could be wrong.

 

[anton66]

Reading all the possible transfer rumours and valuations of our players, you would think we’d been relegated. Imagine if we had?

 

[Chrismac]

Go get Livakovic now for £15-20m, bring in £45m for Pickford and all of a sudden we've cash flow.
Right now I think we don't have a pot to piss in and this isn't going to change unless we sell asap.
Decent keeper and a decent 9 beats a slightly more decent keeper and Neal Maupay/Ellis Simms every single time.

 

[GoldenToffee]

There's probably a release clause in the new contract, hence why he was happy to sign it:

- Increased salary
- Get-out clause

Happy days for him either way.

 

[Amokachi1995]

If we sell Pickford, we definitely start the first game against Fulham with Joel Robles in goal.

 

[roy vernon]

No we shouldn't be able to, not if we sell Pickford for the amounts you have been suggesting, we need to not only replace Pickford with a ready to go first team keeper of a similar quality, but, we also need to add fire power to the attack with at least 2 new strikers of reasonable quality. If we sell Pickford for the 30-40 million you have been suggesting, this is just not possible.
If we can't get at least 60 million for Pickford, and I don't believe we can, then we must keep him and sell others. He is on a long contract and we are definitely in the driving seat regarding any offers for him.

 

[Micky_T]

Everton's priority for this transfer window has to be bringing in a good goal scorer or 2 and if we have to sell Pickford to fund that then I'm OK with it.

Getting in much better strikers to score goals will win us a lot more points than we'll potentially lose by having a keeper that's not quite at Pickford's level.

 

[Zatara]

Go get

Livakovic

now for £15-20m, bring in £45m for Pickford and all of a sudden we've cash flow.

£50mil plus one of the players we all want to sell takes it to £60mil which means a new GK and CF.

Tell that to Leicester they could score goals but had two terrible keepers who couldn’t keep clean sheets. Defence was bad as well to be fair but if they had a solid keeper I think they would have stayed up.

 

[Goat]

I think thats not a great comparison because of their ages (one is potential while the other is at their peak) and positions.

Also a £45mil+ fee for Pickford puts him in the top 3 world record keepers.



We sold Richarlison for £50-60mil and spent close to £70mil.

The way FFP works is designed to favour selling clubs.

Actually, we sold Gordon and Richarlison for 110m and spent close to 70m.
