2021/22 Lucas Digne

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Bill usually gets decent value for players we sell

It’s one aspect of the job he actually isn’t bad at

Had a nice fee lined up for Barkley until Barkley himself decided to pull out and wait till January

Fellaini, Lukaku, Stones

We normally sell well under Kenwright

 

[EGWToffee]

If he’s being shipped out it needs to be abroad. Class player when up to speed.

 

[maccavennie]

He'll be a cracking signing for Chelsea. Great move for him at this stage of his career.

 

[Carlito]

Grealish had a buy-out clause. Villa didn't actually need the money at all. They've got owners who could pump money in without having to worry about FFP this year. They spent the money knowing they would get £100m back but they didn't absolutely need it to do so.

It'll go down to the wire this one mate. It'll be who blinks first.

Loan with a view to pretending to have any intention of buying.

Should have got double for Rooney though Mikey. He was a 50m player in the making as soon as he broke into the first team. He simply had that wow factor.

The fact that he's Utds leading scorer and won a bucketful of trophies shows us we sold far too cheap. What a deal they got out of him.

 

[Kev The Rat]

You are having a nightmare today Kev. He was talking about Trippier.

Sorry? You obviously didn’t understand the context of the conversation

 

[Gilbert..]

30m? I'll snap the hand off anyone who offers that. About time Everton got overpaid instead of the other way around.
No idea if the new signings are good enough but im more excited at the possibility of getting younger hungry players in. As opposed to what ive been watching the past few years of a squad assembled with no character and no fight. Digne is part of that.
First of many out the door i hope.

In general though Bill does well when it comes to getting value for sales

Certainly Moyes would agree with that wouldn't he.

If he's gonna hang around like a bad smell, we may as well put him to good use.

Keep Moshiri away from offering any fees/wages!

The problem is we are now a struggling club whose players aren’t seen as sought after

Which wasn’t the case when he was actively involved in closing deals

Didnt Newcastle offer more, but Rooney dug his heels in for Utd.

Probably mate, we had a great chance though to absolutely roast someone for a huge fee. 25m was like £5 when you think about how good he was and his potential.

Was the 2nd highest transfer fee that occurred that year in the world if I remember correctly.

Probably was mate, it was the highest paid for a teenager but there's no way we got what he was worth. He was a 50m player even all those years ago and even then the mancs would have got a bargain.

Was a shockingly bad deal mate given his age and what he went onto achieve. We were done like a kipper though too. He threw in a transfer request a week before the window shut. We were nearly relegated the season before - we did however qualify for the CL the year after we sold him though, was incredible really.

Remember Bill came out and said he wouldn’t sell him for 50 mill a couple of months before.

Im convinced we didn’t even get the full fee, Neville and Howard were worked in there some how.
