Considering our financial state a Sale for Kean, rather than that idiotic 2 years loan really would have been useful

has this guy made any decent sales, Gueye might be his only one

The Kean scenario has been an absolute farce. We are actually going to lose one of Europe’s most promising young players for nothing after having him on the books for 5 years and contributing nothing to us. How has that even happened?

i know it's insane, a young, promising striker with champions league goals - that's the sort of player that you can charge the most for !

to make it even easier Kean actively wants to leave

You cant look at the Gueye deal in isolation - how much did he spend in fees and wages trying to replace him? Via Delph, Gbamin, Allan, The Duke and Gomes and we could still do with a central midfielder.

Its bonkers.

….from what I can tell, it’s the Managers and Moshiri who hold the power at Everton where transfers are concerned. Brands said recently he can’t bring players in without Benitez agreeing but Benitez & Moshiri can acquire signings.

Might suit the club that Brands gets the flack. I’m not sure what he does if I’m honest but it’s not concentrated on transfer activity.
 
Id be quite comfortable with us only bringing in frees / loans and cheaper deals in both Jan and the summer.

That would mean weve saved 2 years worth of transfer fees and as such would be able to go ballistic in 2023 before moving into the new stadium.

That deal reflects more on the state of European football finances which were hammered.

The bigger question for me is why did Kean fail at Everton?

The root of that lies in scouting and recruitment. If he is a good player but wrong for the league then it is a recruitment error and firmly with Brands, alongside Iwobi, Gomes, Delph, Gbamin and Bernard.
 

In Holland in found young prospects, the club improved them and sold them for a big profit, I can't think of any he has brought to us.

All 21 Everton signings made under Marcel Brands rated

We've looked at each of the 21 signings Everton have made since Marcel Brands joined the club in 2018 and given each a rating for their time on Merseyside
www.liverpoolecho.co.uk
From that lot, Richarlison is pretty much nailed of for a significant profit, also in a couple of years Godfrey and Branthwaite should show a profit. Not exactly paying peanuts for these guys but should turn a healthy profit nonetheless.
Nkounkou was a free so might make some on him but his trajectory doesn’t seem too promising.

Branthwaite yeah. But he was only 1m
Godfrey. Dunno bout that. At the moment he falls into the michael kean bracket.
Burnley and norwich stop what they're doing every day at 1pm and raise a glass to Everton football club.
