Honestly didn't think they'd find anyone to give them a fee quite as big as that mind. Koeman thinks he's worth the cash though and that's all that matters but I was expecting about £17m plus a few million. They've done well.

We paid 15M for shearer and it was a world record.

 

That money today would buy you half a Pickford :lol:

 

Last season Everton won £132.1m in prize money. After the 1996/7 season, our club as a whole was worth just over £41m, and that was as 8th richest club in the world.

And in 1998 we were the 5th richest club in the world, see attached . . . .

Nobody willing to admit they were wrong about Pickford then?

 

 

I think you will find 99% of football pundits i have listened to were also very surprised at the fee they got so it wasn't just us, but the way fees are going atm im not surprised.

 

They are cock a hoop but fail to understand they are in massive debt and won't see it reinvested especially with talk of a takeover.

 

I repeat the have sold the best they have, they have lost the only bloke in JD who scored goals, no manager, a chairman who wants out and a shockingly bad squad 7 weeks away from a new season, no new players being linked at all and a captain whos finished........imagine if that lot was how we were?

 

Happy fucking days :lol:

I didn't think there was a market for them to get the 30 million they were after. I was shocked that they got it and got it so easily and early in the window. That's hugely important for them because now they have time to re-invest that money. They still need to shift a bunch of other players if they are going to have enough cash to rebuild what is a wretched squad. If they get their manager sorted out though in the next few days, they will have given themselves a chance to be successful next season. There's definitely hope there now, where there was little before the start of this week.

It's 22mill up front with the rest potential (I'd guess England call up, Everton reaching champs league, so many games etc) so even if they get the lot it'll still be drip fed. Will the losses they're making plus the both of dropping down a division can they afford to reinvest that and will it be enough ?

It's a glimmer of hope if Short allows it to be used. Some of the squad is useful if retained and the initial Pickford money  (22 or whatever)will buy 4-5 decent players.

Everton will probably offer 20m for Kone next!

Even if you assume the full fee goes into their Transfer Budget, which I doubt with the state they are in, I still don't seem them strengthening enough. Especially since they have weakened an important area of the team in the process. Mannone has shown he's shite.

I think if they're at the right end of the table they will be fine goalkeeper wise. Mannone isn't great but his shitness was magnified by the fact the 10 in front were fucking awful and being battered most weeks.

Nothing a £100M investment from the Chinese can't solve. Besides, we have Rafa and they have the grumpy dutchie.

Sunderland have been granted permission to speak to Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes with a compensation deal close between the two clubs, Sky sources understand.

The Makems are actually chuffed with this saying how Bristol City have gone backwards since they sacked him.

Decent appointment given the other names linked. He is used to working with a shoe-string budget. Bit of a gamble from him, another good year with Aberdeen and he might have attracted some premier league interest. Gets the chance to build his own team with a bigger budget though. Will have his work cut out next season.

Could be rewinding time and talking about when they appointed Moyes 12 months ago. Look how that turned out.
