£60m on Pickford and Keane ffs :lol:

 

Bang average English players, fucking mad. I'd be livid if I were an Everton fan spunking 60m on that lot. The game in England has went truly bonkers. Shows what we are up against though  :crazy2:

 

Whey, to be fair they're two of the most promising talents we've got. If it works out they could get 10 years from both.

90M on Bolasie, Pickford & Keane.

 

Would've been £120M if they signed Sissoko...

 

We spent 85m on players that helped us get relegated tbf.

Refreshing to see Everton confirming the fees instead of all this undisclosed bollocks.

 

They're just showing off..

They're good young players and they'll appreciate in value if anything. Sensible 'investments' as much as signings.

 

Everton are basically paying the fee these players may end up being worth in the future, especially the case with Pickford.

Alot of jealousy towards Evertons spending in here, IMO.

 

Koeman is a good manager and will undoubtedly get the best out of these players.

Giroud is possibly underrated imo. Not really sure, but always thought he'd do better in a team that provides more service from the wings as he has this very impressive knack of getting onto the end of crosses (good movement in the box and anticipation/reading of the flight of the ball). Never really seemed to be the right type of striker for Wenger's teams given the lack of pace, dribbling, etc.

 

Having said that, he's one of those who frequently gets his shots/headers on target but doesn't quite do enough with the ball to score, so it always seems like he needs several good chances to hit the back of the net.

Really think people on here downplay the London factor to be honest.  Not saying it's right, but a massive factor for foreign players.

Yes it is.

 

Especially with us. We aren't Liverpool or Man United. We are better supported, that's it. We used to be able to afford bigger wages - not anymore. We aren't anymore likely to play in Europe or win a trophy like we used to be either. 10 years ago we were definitely a bigger club by any metric. Not anymore.

 

Beyond the super big clubs (i'm including Spurs and Liverpool here), there's Everton... then there's the rest that can offer similar wages. Then the others that can't compete on that front (Burnley, Brighton perhaps).

 

so you sell the f***ing club as it should be sold and offer them an extra few grand a week over west ham or palace in order to get players to get us back to where we should be

 

alas fat mike and the thumb run the show

So yes... pay more. We can't always do that!
