Unbelievable

So then, yous feeling confident..?

Ok, so we'll get our chance for revenge for 2010 then...

How is that a fucking foul?

Bet you were a bit nervous there

Euhrmmmm

Unreal game this

Holy fuck!

Wow

This Spanish side can't cope with France's counter attacking at all

Cynical foul that

Great goal

Well well well

Interestingly PSV passed up the chance to sign him for 10m euros a year earlier and some fan comments I read this afternoon were that about half of that was probably right. Haven’t watched enough Everton, but could be a massive flash in the pan season for him. Perhaps Everton should sell now his stock is seemingly so high.

It was odd last year when we did tbf

I am aware of the 3 year rolling period for maximum losses. However, assuming similar wages, if you were to sell Wilson for 20m that represents 20m profit in 24/25, then spend 40m on a replacement (younger with similar potential and future resale value), you'd spread that over 5 years, or a negative impact on profitability of 8m on 24/25, 25/26 and 26/27, so short term that would allow you to invest 20-8 = 12m on another player (again amortised over 5 years). As long as you can continue to grow revenue (match, commercial and through player trading) you would then continue to build the strength of the squad year on year. I'd keep Wilson around if he was capable of being relied on in terms of fitness. Isak is quite injury prone, so there are bound to be periods where you'd have to play Wilson most times. Sadly, it's almost a given Wilson will himself not be available for a significant amount of time. On top of that I imagine at his age and with his pedigree he will want to play most games for which he's fit, which is another thing we can't offer seeing as Isak is better than him. We'd be better off both financially and long term in terms of squad strength with a Isak understudy capable of developing into a first choice striker over the next few years, like we've done with Isak and Wilson a few years ago, and with Livramento and Trippier more recently.

The replacement player may be more expensive in terms of fee (vs what we'd recoup) and possibly wages, but in terms of PSR any fee we'd get for Wilson would be profit that can be re-invested a few times over (if sustained by growing commercial revenue in the years the replacement player is under contract), and then that replacement player may actually increase in value, like Isak, Bruno and many other younger players have done. Wilson's value is only going one way...

If we want to progress as a club we need to sell players before they walk out the door for nothing. It's that simple.

He's in his final year of contract and we cannot rely on him to be fit when we need him to be, so sell.

Branthwaite was pure crap at PSV the year before joining Everton. I wonder what that says about the strength of either division

I’d rate them similar. Bakayoko seems more technical, whereas Minteh has more pace. Funny how PSR could make it financially worthwhile to trade one for the other even if it means we pay much more for Bakayoko than we did, or even have received, for Minteh.

Bowen seems like a complete non-starter to me (age, fee, wages). Someone like PSV's Bakayoko who we were reportedly interested in last year, seems much more likely. There were rumours of Saudi interest (Al-Hilal) in him yesterday - maybe someone got the wrong end of the stick?

I think some 50k Feyenoord season ticket holders may have

He wouldn’t get passed Dumfries man

Get in! Looking forward to playing you lot

Jezus. Not sure this playing without midfield is a good idea Koeman
