Also not as if you need the full package for Sky Sports News like, its included in basic entertainment which is £22 and on offer for £11.50 if you threaten to cancel.

£90m doesn't sound like a good deal to me like. I mean their revenue isn't impressive outside of Premier League money. Ticket money is pitiful considering the capacity of the stadium and TV money is over two 3rds of their revenue. Also wages are through the roof. I think if they had no debt £90m might be a ok price, but as it is they're swimming in it and have to pay £8m a year just on interest alone.

Oh aye, couldn't possibly just disagree like must have missed the oh so astute point. Obviously Rafa will decide in the end and that should be good enough for everyone, but that doesn't stop people having their opinion for now.

Aye he's got no idea that his agent is asking for £1m ect.. poor kid

Hold on, the article says he's getting a raise to £50k per week yet he's trying to negotiate a wage above that from the club he's on loan at. Plus trying to get a £1M "signing on fee", even though he's signing fuck all but a loan deal.. Obvously this is all based on a article in the daily mail and I'm not saying its true. Just saying IF it is he's not someone we should be signing, totally wrong attitude.

Steer well clear of this fucker if that's true like.

Aye, all going well, just let Rafa get on with it and everyone's happy Mike. Nah instead he's going to piss about and bring some fucking nobody in to "establish his influence over the decision-making" in the hope of selling part of the club, fucking toss pot.

Florian Lejeune is a midfieler now?, the accuracy of these articles is fucking brilliant like I mean journalists get paid for shit like this.

I said to the lads on WhatsApp earlier we've been overrated since 96 Since longer than that, though overated is quite a subjective term obviously, at least in 96 we had some really top players.

Can only hope lots of the U20's come through together into the full team.

Defence looks Championship level at times.

Its still a professional game of Football that both teams want to win though.

I mean if the price being mentioned is £400m that will include wiping out the £129m Ashley is holded as debt (no new owner would accept owing Ashley), which technically values the club itself at £271m. Just a technicality like and people can argue all day about wether a debt he's holding should even be there. But Ashley will be expecting more for the club due to the money he perceives is owed to him.

£271m plus debt basically, not outrageous considering the amount of money now being thrown around.

But it is only potential tested over a short period of time. He could just as easily end up a average Premier League keeper for Everton. £30m is too much when you consider what other keepers usually go for. Unless its something like £20m fee and £10m on appearances/success, then its not such a terrible deal.

They play in different positions They both play in a few positions. But they also both played the majority of their games last season in the same position (attacking midfield).

I suppose like Tottenham with Sissoko one mug will always fall for the hype.

I think he means something enforced by the FA or Premier League. In which case the answer is no.

Well if he's holding the transfer up and if that effects our transfer activity (holding off on other targets waiting for him) then we should definitely move on IMO. If Benitez has offered him first team Football here and he still can't decide, then he's too big for his boots and should be told to fuck off. But there are lots of ifs there.. so we really should just wait and see.

Wow Everton are bonkers..

Where are you getting any of that from? Haven't see anyone saying Benitez will make players want to sign above all else like, unless I missed some lunatic post.

Just sign Boudebouz for £13m-£15m and forget about Cairney.

They can certainly up our budget a couple of times over, just not as unlimited as Chelsea and Man City's were when they started out. As you say they could artificially inflate sponsorship (as long as its not completely astronomical it'll get past the Premier League) and extend it to other aspects like the stadium to make the deal seem more realistic. Think theirs also a buffer to allow some losses without punishment (?). Also like someone said earlier in the thread more money spent and more success will in turn bring in more cash.

Ah right, well he's mental then because he's not worth £20m never mind more.

He has no business here? What does he mean exactly? Hasn't got the mentality to deal with a big club?
