The summer 2013 Everton transfer rumourZ thread

[orly]

yOU SHOULD GO INTO TRANSLATING.

You could make a korea out of it.

Good one sir, have some +rep

I thought he was only on 30k a week in russia

Yes. And Russian income tax is 8%. Income tax in the UK is 40%.

If we pay him anything less than £50k a week, he'll take home less after tax than he currently does in Russia. Can't see him going for that.

 

[Jags..class]

We have to remember this will be his last payday as well, cant see this happening

 

[EvertonDaebak]

네, 반갑습니다! 앞으로 행복하고 건강하십시오

Thanks anyway, looking forward to see us bringing Chung Yong Lee, Honda and a striker who can score 15+ goals.

아, 알겠습니다. 난 한국에 살때 한국어 공부를 했습니다. 죄송합지만 한국어 잘 말수 업죠 ㅜ.ㅜ 왜나하면 난 외국인 입니다. 너의 문제들 읽 수 있습니다. 지금 난 중국에 살아요. 또한 우리 경기들이 인터넷으로 봤어요.

모든 사람들이 이해할 수 있도록 더 나은 당신이 영어

Reality is, the bottom club will get an extra £21m, the top PL club an extra £40m and we will get somewhere inbetween.

Why don't you use your simple maths to tell us what it will be spent on?

A prudent individual would use it to significantly reduce our debt. Bear in mind we currently run at a loss.

A pair of tightwads like Earl and Kenwright would also use it to reduce the debt, but for rather more personal reasons.

A moron would blow it all on more players, ignoring the fact that debts left unpaid grow over time.

The lion's share should and will go on paying down the debt.

 

[Ravensblue]

For clarity, are you suggesting we are only around £6m in debt?

No I know where 40+ mill in debt. What I am saying is when people are asking come September where did the tv deal money go(because it hasn't gone on players or reducing debt) I think it will be safe to say its with the other 30million that just disappeared and I wanna know where it went.

This is a god read.

Written by THT...he usually knows what he is talking about.
I guess we shouldnt be surprised if we sign Alcaraz and McGeady...

I disagree. Neither THT or LCAB know jack about incoming transfers.

 

[toffee-fellaini]

Arouna Kone.Watch this space.....

 

[Tree13]

For the third time, our debt is relatively small and easily maintained, and will become even easier maintained with increased revenue, so it makes little sense to make premature debt repayments at the expense of squad improvement.

Our debt is such that we ran at a £9m loss this year. This is not the definition of "easily maintained".

We need to cover that loss AND also reduce the outlay that caused the loss. If the outlay is caused by servicing debts we need to look at ways to pay down the debt, so that the cost of servicing it every year is reduced. And as a general rule we should always be looking for finance on more favourable terms than the current deal.

Why spend £9m a year of our new revenue servicing a debt? Why not instead pay off the debt and then, if funds are needed, borrow a new sum on better terms, reducing the £9m a year outlay?

 

[Netromelo]

How about £3m + Vellios for Kone? Eh?

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Arouna Kone.Watch this space.....

I'll probably be fuming if we sign him, as it would ultimately be for about 5 or 6 million which would be unbelievable.

Martinez, if he is thinking of signing players like that, needs to quickly realise who is in charge of now, and it's not Wigan ****ing Athletic FC.

 

[Furey1878]

If he even dares to ask for the number 2 shirt, I'll have him killed.

He can bail wearing #9 as well. We have a strong tradition of #9s (maybe minus Kevin Campbell) that Arouna 'meh if we can get him cheap' Kone may tarnish.

 

[Yeldah]

I disagree. Neither THT or LCAB know jack about incoming transfers.

AGREE!

I see. So you have listed some options, including spending it on players, but there is no certainty about which one will happen.

So the "reality" is that we do not have to "sell Fellaini in order to significantly strenthen the team" as you claimed earlier. The reality is we have a choice.

Some people might make a different choice than you but that doesn't make them morons - just people with a different opinion.
