It’s a sad indictment of Everton what has happened re Kean, young raw striker with potential signed at a good age.
Unfortunately probably not suited to English football, and also not the first young Italian footballer to have ‘problems’ off the field
i think Brands saw it almost as a ‘moneyball’ deal, sign him if he’s good for us win win, if he doesn’t cut it, he’s young enough and got a good enough reputation that we would get our money back.
Where the plan fell apart was with our seeming inability under Brands and now under Thelwell is to be able to actually sell a player. After his first season we quite rightly binned him off but instead of a cash sale the seeming only option was a loan away from the club that he made if clear he didn’t want to return to thus diminishing our bargaining power further.
Thats why we had to agree to the Juve loan 12 months later, although financially we probably break even if all targets are met it’s a poor way to do business.
In a perfect world given our current circumstances and all things forgiven I actually think he’d be a much better option than most of our current attacking options both central and out wide, but life’s not like that and if he did come back he’d be yet another player picking up a wage and contributing absolutely nothing

And all this illustrates why I've fallen out if live with what was once a sport.
The ban is from working in football in Italy so it doesn't impact his job as DoF at Spurs.
Morally, I am sure Levy will do the right thing and sack him
They’re trying to apply it’s across UEFA & FIFA so he’s not completely out of the woods yet.
Inflating the values of players to fiddle the books? Can’t imagine they could referring to.

Honestly we bought him far too young
He clearly is a talented player but moving away from his family at a young age to a far faster league and played just over 800 mins with 2 goals and 2 assists (half of our current squad would dream of that to be fair)
The forum would cream itself for a player like Kean this season had we not bought him earlier

Was absolutely convinced this would be a boss signing, me. Shame.

Can't see how they'd be able to wheedle out of having to pay for Kean, if it is conditional on CL qualification. They'd only not be there because of their false accounting, it would be like them refusing to pay for him because he'd failed a drug test after they'd given him it.
Being conditional on CL qualification, I think they would wheedle out of it by having not qualified for the CL…

Yes, but that would be because they were docked points for something they did.

68 million for Kean and Gordon is mad business.
Doubted you?
The only thing I doubt is Evertons ability to do things right.
Until that money hits our bank account, I will always doubt.
