Homepage Article Rafael Benitez Appointed Everton Manager

[windymiller]

You do realise marcel Brands is the DOF dont you mate? lol

Im sure Benitez would rather be signing a £50 million wide player and not Andros Townsend if the money was there...

This'll be the second time he's signed him.

Signed him at two skint clubs.

Almost like he cant just go out and sign Hudson Odoi for £50 million.

He clearly rates him, though, so he can't be used as an excuse for sliding down the league.

Apparently he's actually a very hard working player according to Palace fans the club just didnt want to renew his contract on his current wage with him turning 30 and are looking at younger players on cheaper wages so talks broke down.

1 year deal with the option of a 2nd very shrewd business by the Rafatollah.

I'm glad you approve, I'll be checking in with you periodically about our performances and league standings. So far you seem exceptionally happy about how things are going and so must be expecting improvements over last season.

A one year deal is ideal so we are not left with players like big Sam signed then went after six months

I don't see any combination of three of those players raising £150m in this window. Maybe £100m but only if Richarlison is one of the three.

Without Richarlison:

Pickford + Kean + James gets you that, IMO.

Yes, Richarlison is the family silver this summer. I'd prefer to keep him if possible, but if he's pushing for a move - which I think he and his agent will be - then sell him. We'd need circa £100M compensation though.

If James goes it will be for a nominal, definitely no more than £10m, we're struggling to get a fee for Kean at all and I don't imagine anyone other than Haaland, Mbappe or Kean fetching 9 figures. Covid has made this a terrible summer to sell players.

We’re hamstrung by FFP, must be the managers fault.

Not happy at present the club need to spend otherwise Benitez gets a free pass for next season.

Koeman: £200 million spent
Alladyce: £47 million spent
Silva: £195 million spent
Ancelotti: £65 million spent

Benitez: £1.5 million spent

Can't judge under current circs although I think we'll finish around 7th-10th.

Superb bit of business from Rafael in my opion if we can shift Bernard Delph iwobi frees up wages Townsend and gray help the squad on little wages and short contacts makes perfect sense to me

Ok, let's use that as the yardstick. 7th to 10th. Speak soon. Love ya.

I would trust benitez with £1.5 million no way with any of the other amounts of monies mentioned
