Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Is the money even there for Zaha if we wanted to sign him?

Forgot his first name is Wilfred, he's worth even less in my book now

We've waited for years to have a Fabian and Wilfred in our team.

Well, yes. I do understand the premise of by low, sell high. Keeping with that particular analogy, Japanese banks are particularly cheap at the moment, especially relative to say US tech stocks. However I wouldn’t necessarily want to buy a Japanese bank over, say Apple. The reason why they are cheap is due to the additional risk premium associated with them (ie they aren’t particularly profitable given interest rates in Japan, are cyclical within a highly cyclical market that is exposed almost entirely to the global economy). So whilst more expensive, Apple would be a more attractive option.

Same applies to this case. Malcom is cheaper because he is untested. Plus he’s recently struggled following a big money move. Which increases the risk premium further.

As I said, I would want Malcom too because I think he’s worth the risk (unlike Japanese banks!) but I can understand why Zaha is valued the way he is. He represents less of a risk and is about to hit his prime after a decent run of seasons.

I think that buying cheap kids and developing them is a great working practice. But it should allow you to spend money on players that can genuinely impact the team. And Zaha would do that immediately so I can see the thought process (despite what my preference is).

You view Zaha as a non-cyclical consumer staple, non-cyclical for the reason being that he has prem league experience over the past couple of years, stable, you know what you are getting, combine him with over good players to bring the risk down further, mean variance optimized

The only scenario I would be ok with in signing Zaha is if we would be able to offload Bolasie and Macca at the same time, but not spend 70 million on him, good god no.

Wasn’t it 12months to the day that we all freaked out about wasting £50mill on Richarlison? 12 months later he was top goal scorer, a starter for Brazil and Copa America winner!! So there is clearly a lesson there..








Only sign BRAZILIANS innit

Wait will go on, his first name is actually Dazet, thought everyone knew that?

In other news, i cant see Dazet Wilfried Armel Zaha coming to Everton

I think the club would look at it as a investment as opposed to anything, 80 mill (reported) over five years, two years off his peak, 5 year deal. If you can throw a Bolaise and Jamsey in there to mitigate it all the better, the jungle drums are beating on it.

Still think he wont come here though, if he does its a coup.

My only problem is that from a portfolio construction perspective, is he really going to offer diversification considering we already hold Bernard, richarlison and sigurdsson?

 

[Michael81]

I'd rather try and buy Everton Soares with that type of cash. Would probably have enough left over for Malcom too.

 

[Blue Cally]

Is Zaha going to be our ‘ruined the transfer window’ moment?

Or is it just a smoke screen to keep others of the scent of deals we really doing?

Going to be an interesting couple of weeks this

 

[Pabbers]

£80 million could have got us De Light & Ziyach

Wilfred, Bernard and Malcolm.

Christ, we've signed me grandads bowls team.

 

[mos6141]

we need a CB, cdm, CF, and RB but we are going to magically spend 80m on a winger? come on guys

I think we would forget about playing with an out and out striker and we would operate with a front three of wingers/attacking midfielders, a bit like what mordor do.

Wed prob bring Welbeck in for the just in cases.
