Dymak
Player Valuation: £40m
I definitely understand the frustration here, the club is a joke these days. However, I think we should recognise that in order for a player to have ‘turned Everton down’, we would need to have at least submitted a bid that was accepted by the selling club, and then we would more than likely have had to have offered terms that the player then turned down.
I accept that we are a joke outfit these days, but I still don’t accept that “Nobody wants to come to us”, or the ridiculous reports that because a player ends up signing for Southampton or Forest it means that they must have turned Everton down in the process. In reality, we haven’t even made them an offer.
There are still plenty of players that would like to play for Everton even in its current joke state, but Everton will actually have to make an offer, which they aren’t doing right now, and most probably won’t do until there have been player sales.
