Summer Transfer Window 2019

[MikeH72]

That's why Silva wanted him to begin with. He likes having the ball at his feet

The only thing I liked about him having the ball at his feet was him giving it to Keane.

This genuinely isn't a wind up post by the way and I'm not trying to cause bother, but does anyone think that if all these transfers we're being linked with go through that we run the risk of living beyond our means?

Yes, I know most of you will say "It's not your money, just enjoy us signing players" but I wonder how many Rangers supporters were saying that when they were splurging on the likes of Torre Andre Flo?

Do we really have the funds to sign Zaha, Iwobi and another defender?

Reassure me here people

Good point that Mikey, the figures released later this year will show a wages to turnover ratio in the region of 80 - 85%

It's not sustainable without success on the pitch.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

....BBC Journalist, David Ornstein, says it’s not a matter of Iwobi or Zaha. Everton want both players.

Doesn't make much sense does it?

Transfer fees weren't what killed Rangers. That was paying the players in a way that basically amounted to cash under the table. Then the taxman came knocking.

Maybe they see Iwobi as more of an attacking mid than winger

We can kick about the shallows forever or we can dive in the deep end. Let’s get wet..

....it doesn’t, but I dare say not much of it does.

It baffles me too and it does worry me but I’d trust the fellas we have in charge to get things right. If clubs like Palace can demand 100 mil for Zaha and Bournemouth can demand 75 mil for Ake then you know just the magnitude of money that’s in this league, even at the bang average clubs.

I’d also be massively surprised if Usmanov’s billions aren’t involved with this.

Kean is italian with Ivorian parents.


They have never crossed paths.

Ivorian with Italian papers then .

I have posted a few times over the last 1-2 days saying the same.

If we have cash reserves to fulfill down payments on these transfers, and are committing to the rest, it means something significant has happened in our favour (which can in reality only mean Usmanov is channeling funds) although we undoubtedly fail FFP. As usual, the media are way behind but I thought someone would have picked up on it, and at least out the question out there. We have negligible commercial income and no obvious means to finance this.

If we are living (way) beyond our means, especially with BMD on the horizon, then that will bring its own consequences.

Born in Piedmont... Italian.

 

[Minimeister]

Odemwingie is an endbell of the highest order. Arsenal are not a bigger club than Everton they have just been doing better than us recently. That is about to change.

Christ mate, imagine saying that on an Everton forum of all places...

Born in Italy, lived all his life in Italy, Italian.
