Confirmed Signing Orel Mangala

[EFC_FRANCIS]

You can say anything you like mate, wouldn’t be putting any money on Everton putting
40 mill bills on the table.

FFS, we needed 20 mill a month, 3 months ago, to keep the lights on.

We’ve interest payments of 5 mill a month at the moment.

While last posted accounts we lost 90 mill.

Say Kev had to stop himself bursting out laughing agreeing to that.

Lyon have paid every single option to buy they've agreed to under Textor. Including on Mangala and Nuamah who they've tried to get rid of in the same window as triggering said options. If we agree to an option to buy and Textor takes over then its as good as done.

L'Equipe two weeks ago:

Olympique Lyonnais have not paid the first instalment of the transfer fee negotiated with FC Metz for Georges Mikautadze, as agreed. The club from Lorraine has appealed to the LFP's legal committee to assert its rights.

Transferts : Metz dénonce un versement incomplet de la première traite sur le transfert de Mikautadze à Lyon

L'Olympique Lyonnais n'a pas payé comme convenu le premier versement négocié avec le FC Metz sur le transfert de Georges Mikautadze. Le club lorrain a saisi la commission juridique de la LFP pour faire valoir ses droits.

Did he join lyon as a player who had impressed at forest. Or did he join lyon because he was surplus to requirements at forest? Makes a huge difference

It's not as good as done at all. That's why it's called an option. If it were to be done, it would be an obligation.

The former.

I'd say its extremely likely

It's not in any sense extremely likely.

Yeah honestly dont think we can with the amount of players we will need next season more than half the squad will be leaving already and 40 mill on one player just wont happen

This is the most baffling and potentially most worrying aspect of texter being involved.
Obligation for 40 million is lunacy.

That'll be next summers budget blown

Even if he does takeover and that’s a hell of an if IMO, it makes far more sense to sell him somewhere else.

Everton get the benifit of the player for a year, staying up = minimum 100 million to one of his companies. He gets a player back with a better profile through PL exposure - he gets 40 mill from elsewhere - as opposed to moving his own money around his own company.

Which would you do.

I'm not sure what your point is?

It’s not an obligation though.

It also makes far more sense to not buy him from Forest in the first place given the Lyon manager didn't want him.
