2021/22 Richarlison

[PhilM]

It's all relative.

What other club with the resources we have had in recent years, has had so much decline, and ended up in financial trouble?

You’re right, to an extent. But if we’re talking about it being relative: we’re still in the PL; we have a new stadium coming; a good manager.

While we’re hugely disappointed with the decline, I bet there’s many clubs who’d discretely prefer to be in our position.

I’m sad to see Richarlison leave and things are great overall, however it isn’t all doom and gloom.

if lampard isn’t given this money

the board need to be deported

It's deadline day at 23:45, SkySports is on in the background, Talksport on the radio, you're frantically updating GoT for news of any last minute signings, suddenly Evertonfc.com stops loading...you wait with baited breath.

23:47 the club website reappears with a breaking news update about "Sharpey's letters from Rwanda"

Ahh the old “Richarlison has a massive ego” myth

I deliberately didn’t use the word massive but most players have an ego some will say it’s better called self confidence if anything that happens to damage that ego , self confidence or whatever you want to call it there performances drop off

 

[Saint Domingo]

The whole board need to go.

I dont want the Yanks but this is the end of the current board imo.

Kin stupidity.

DBB is ‘running’ amateur hour

 

[JLW]

Devastated. The board should hang their heads in shame.

That's the problem mate, there is no shame, zero, Bill will probably think he's done well with the deal.

God i despise that man

 

[Zatara]

Do we know the terms of the deal?

£50mil less Watford + Richarlisons cuts

Then perhaps up to £10mil in add ons

 

[Blue Sky]

Can't wait for his insta post thanking the fans and about his love for the club.

Then when he scores his first spurs goal, grabbing their badge.

That’s the way of things , a shame but modern football really sucks .
Richie is gonna sulk big time when he gets rotated .
Adios you won me over but it’ll be new avatar for the new season , is Winks good with fireworks ?

 

[ToffeeTim]

We are going have to agree to differ but just as you can quote players who went for more I can quote names of players like Harland, like Mane ( and yes I know all about release clauses ) who are far better players and went for less in today’s market as opposed to the players that left in the pre COVID football world.

Well I think he's a top player, with a top attitude. And if he gets to play regularly, then you're going to love him. That's my only concern for him with this move - I think there's a good chance he sits on the bench a lot next season, which is not good news for him with the WC in 5 months.

The club is the utter pits atm.

Losing our best players to the likes of Villa and Tottenham. What is that all about

Depressing.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Do we know the terms of the deal?

Being reported this morning as £50m plus up to another 10 in add ons. Not sure what the adds on for though.

 

[blulouie]

This is bad

REAL BAAADDD.

 

[kenada_blue]

Not including fantasy add ons we've sold him for less than what Brighton got for Ben White.

Scandalous.

@Zatara
@BlueToff

Pretty sure White had 3 years left on his contract having signed a new deal in 2020 (signed for Arsenal last year) He's also younger (and English to premium on top)

Richy's had 2 years left and a year older.

 

[DanEFC92]

£50m plus add ons is a joke.

 

[Neiler]

The dynamics of this deal are going to be interesting, looking at it from an Everton welfare point of view and the scope and meaning for us.

Say we accept £60 mill, his book price is 14 mill, in accounting terms that means we make a £46 mill profit, if Watfords 10% of the overall deal is true that means we make £40 million net in profit - not that great when you consider our innital outlay on him.

How much scope does it give us in the window, i think its important to remember this is profit but not necessarily profit for transfers, how much we actually have to spend depends on the scale of our losses as a club, we made £120 mill in losses in out last set accounts, likely at the end of this financial year its somewhere between £50-70 mill, so that £40 million comes of our losses if received today or tomorrow. So you then apply £10-30 odd mill loss to FFP, and you may have 20- 30 odd mill mill scope to play with for new transfers. Other good news is we have cleared about 30 mill in wages and costs to take on new players in the new financial year (42 million if Richarilison goes).

Its important to remember, that £10-30 odd million budget isn't net i.e. money coming in and money coming out (it is in real terms) but from an accounting and regulatory point of view deals are looked at from a multi year point of view.

For example, our three highest earners: Mina costs 11.9 million pre year, Gomes 10.5 mill, Sigurdsson 14.10 - so that's under a budget of 35 mill in costs annually. The rub is you have to pay that every year of their contract, so you need to make sure you have the budget next year to, your adding 35 million to your cost base every year.

Its why i dont think a deal of 60 mill is that good for Everton, certainly for the worth and value of the lad to us - not to mention strengthening a rival.

That's my take anyhow @Zatara will have crack now in a second!

Posted this yesterday reduce it all by 10%, and just GTF Everton, Shambles.

Watford signed him for like £11m, he played 30 odd games, scored 5 goals and sold him for £50m as 21 year old - a player who had a woeful second half of his debut Prem season.

Everton sign him for £50m, develop him into a full international - remove any doubt about the lads ability and sell him for £50m (then deduct Watford/Richarlison fees) and £10m add ons.

This Everton board...

I expected him to leave, but to a bigger club than Spurs and for a little more money.

Concerned about the clubs ability to replace him - Thelwell and Lampard have so little credentials in recruitment.
