In fairness to Everton, there is clearly no striker available in world football who would be interested in joining us and getting a mere 100-150k a week.
Because it will effect our long term ability to demand decent fees for any sales. Douglas Luiz has just gone to Villa from Man City for £15m - nearly double. A reserve midfielder with no senior international caps compared to McCarthy, a proven (some might argue) Premier League player with 41 caps, who should be at his peak age. Even if you off-set the potential of Luiz to the experience of McCarthy and injury records etc... that is still a big gap. I won't even mention Mings... who has missed nearly two whole seasons with cruciate ligament injuries.
I also expect others are not willing to match the wages we are paying some of our dross - so may be down to them not willing to move as much as the club.
It is a difficult balance - we need rid of a lot, but how we get rid has broader implications. That is why we have a Director of Football and that is what he gets paid handsomely no doubt to do.

I notice Gbamin isnt playing in either of the games today, must be off
Not necessarily as played in the African Cup of Nations for Ivory Coast, so likely not back in training yet - Zaha isn't!

My cousins is at the game, he said for what it's worth he was talking to their fans and they believe he is off and they new he would move on as he is a top player.
Shall we just sign any striker then like say a lucky dip so you won’t moan?

He must be on big wages. He has one year left in his contract. He doesn’t contribute to the team. Just shift and free up wages for new signings.

Yeah that'd be cool.
Timing of this alleged Arsenal agreement for Pepe seems a bit fishy to me. Don't pay much attention to Sky Sports anymore because I think they create a lot of fake news to drive viewing figures - but we know Jim White has a connection with Moshiri and when asked if he thought Zaha would sign for us he cagily said "no - there will be a twist in that one". Wonder if Arsenal are leaking the Pepe stuff to try and get Zaha (fearing missing the chance to join his boyhood club) to force Palace's hand. Think I would rather have Pepe over Zaha anyway, so would be happy if that was the outcome - albiet I appreciate unlikely we will get either!

Of course I do. I am looking at our options.
