As if they want 4108470000.00 Japanese yen for him... Unbelievable!!!

The hold up will be over how Everton are trying to structure the payments. Elstone's favourite line re transfers is 'buy slowly over time in small instalments; sell high and demand it all up front'.

The club's parsimony is holding this up. And all the time the season draws nearer.

well i guess that is the sensible thing to do, but i guess if it holds up a deal and affect pre-season then it makes less sense..

Aye. There is time yet mind. This looks dead certs to happen, I'm more interested in who else we'll be getting in to fill the other Wing/AM/ST spots where there is clearly a whole, as that makes 2 senior Strikers + Naismith and McAleny.
You'd hope there is money to spend there, although in the past track record hasn't been great

Don't understand why they would structure this deal in EUR. It's a transfer between two domestic clubs.

 

[Toffeelover]

In the papers it is saying pounds not euros 30 mill pounds way too much IMO.

They won't be. The outlets who originally reported the 30M just happen to be in mainland Europe - same as our papers would list a fee in pounds regardless of where in the world it's happening.

It's penny pinching at its worst. He's a drone (an untalented one imo) who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

In the papers in the schmapers, basically.

Nobody is spending £30m on him and if they are they're welcome to him.

Yay for meaningless quotes!

Everton cant and wont spend that.

I think he'll be with us for about £20M-£22M. Who knows about how these things will work out. Would Chelsea demand first refusal on Barkley in the future, for example?

I think we have a hand to play that doesn't involve £30M fantasy cash.

They're only meaningless if they dont fit. This one fits.

 

[sageyefc]

Highly doubt the figure to us is 30 mil sterling, its most likely in euros with some add on down the line, dont forget they had a packet of us for his loan last year.



And anyway, doesnt matter the price, if the club can afford it, and are willing to pay, let them.

Even when we're potetially spending money people find a reason to complain

It could lose us the player - this sort of thing concerns me hugely.
