Also, maybe it’s a case of Everton offering a high salary plus release clauses as they have the weaker negotiating position than west ham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 It's impossible to know what's going on in someone else's head but if it was me and I was 20 years old, I would like to think that the thing that would mean the most to me would be developing to be the best player I could be. I'd be looking at clubs and coaches who have a track record of developing players and that would be a big motivating factor for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The romantic era is long gone, football is a business players know this, the owners definitely know it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Players like Bowen, Antonio, Cresswell, Rice and Fornals are all players who have improved a lot with West Ham. Rice is the main one they’ve brought through but as a 20 year old I’d be looking at how players have fared there in their early 20s when they’re developing. Anyway, I can’t argue with the fact it’s all business and that numbers on a sheet are the major factor nowadays. However, if I was looking at Everton seriously I’d want to know how they fared last season, did they look like a good place to play football and develop and the answer to that would be easy to come to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 2 hours ago, r0cafella said: employee closer employer who pays the most is somehow deluded? Aye. West Ham and Everton are similar profile of clubs. One is doing much better than the other at the moment but I wouldn't be surprised if they were neck & neck in 5 years or situations were reversed (which was the case not too long ago). If i was a lad from France, i'd go to the highest bidder of terms were different by 20%+ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spending that amount on a player who isn't even needed is just next level shite for the game. Chelsea would have left backs worth a 1/3 of our club ffs Just listening to Liverpool’s No.2 saying whoever uses the 5 sub rule the best wins the league. Said it’s great for the “big” teams. Not what Klopp said when arguing for it. What a surprise ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only hope Moyes is a bit daft and plays him at left back and not further forward in one of the winger slots. Would have been great on the right for us.
