JonBez comesock Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 9 minutes ago, BennyBlanco said: I believe we have as much as an individual deal requires. At the moment we need to level up to stature of a club that spends £40-60m on a marquee player. In the next 5 or so years though the sky will be the limit. We didn’t just find the £50m for Bruno down the back of the sofa did we? The chance was there to sign an immense player for what still is a reasonable fee given his talent and potential l - so we did. I think it’ll be the same for any other player Howe and the DoF deem “necessary”. Nowhere near 50m For Bruno closer to 39m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 It was 30 rising to 40 for Bruno, the same with Botman. I suspect 40 is our ceiling for players for the time being and you can see why with some of the fees knocking around for worse players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 In this day and age I think every single penny should be fully disclosed and accounted for for every transfer. What have they got to hide? FFP is definitely a thing so why shouldn't it be published rather than the canny shady "undisclosed fee". Why hide it? Who got what? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I wouldn't want to sign Gordon as Everton have sold a lot of their youth academy for big money and most of the time they end up not having a decent career. There are obvious exceptions. I actually think signing players who have already moved from another country and spent time in another is a good sign as they have shown they can adapt.

sushimonster85 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 We're not signing Paqueta this window. Don't get me wrong, I think he may be a long term target, so it would make sense to keep an open dialogue with him/his agent, which in turn is likely what leads to these sorts of rumours.

Barnes23 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Wish I had reason to believe Graeme Bailey has any kind of real credibility. Paqueta has been the name on everyone's lips because he really is the standout player in terms of quality that we have been linked with this window.

54 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 So according to Bailey it's going to be: Pedro and Paqueta on a permanent Pulisic on a loan I dont believe it in a second, but imagine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like that Bailey gets a bit of info and then gambles on the story. See Howe being off after negotiations with his backroom staff took longer than expected. Chris Waugh mentioned the other day that there's still a lot of chat amongst agents that Paqueta could move to NUFC. He's probably taken that and made a massive leap (for clicks).
