Look, i'm actually for the transfer and think he'll suit Howe's style well. I just don't want us overpaying(which we are) and giving Everton a leg up for their survival. That's the sickening part.

Ā 

Overpaying is a matter of opinion though.

Ā 

It's also worth reminding people that we've just fleeced Forest for 15m.Ā

For a home grown 21 year old with a high ceiling I donā€™t think we can grumble too much at the price. We just got our money back on Woods (ffp wise) so that helps. Guessing itā€™ll be something like a 5 year contract for Gordon which will also help. Weā€™d have walked away if we werenā€™t happy with the deal.

Ā 

He has all the attributes to fit right into the way we play. He does need to a bit more professional and Iā€™m sure weā€™ll work on that.Ā

We can still amortise it across the contract for FFP accounting though I thinkĀ 

Ā 

That's correct. Doesn't matter for FFP purposes how we pay Everton, only the length of player contract matters.

I will say one thing - he is going to push Howe's abilities as a coachĀ 


He has a lot of the same raw ingredients as Miggy (compares quite favourably on a number of metrics - esp defensive ones).

Ā 

Heā€™ll be playing in front of a defence that will actually allow him to go forward. That alone will make him look a lot better.Ā

the way people lose their mind over fees... you'd think it's coming from their own bank account. who gives a shite, really? :lol:

Ā 

none of us have a clue when it comes to our FFP situation, so just chill ya beans and enjoy us spending a bit of money for once. it's long overdue.

Had our eyes out with this one. Ā£25m upfront was the correct value. Ā£40m is sickening. He's got one hell of a price tag to live up to.

Maybe, just maybe weā€™ve bought a player that Eddie really wantsā€¦.Ā 

whether it was Ā£20m, Ā£40m or Ā£60m, if the club can afford it and can make the deal happen thatā€™s fine with me.. Iā€™m more concerned with improving the squad over the long term which is what heā€™s doing, than worrying about bank balances. Im pretty sure the club have a team of experts who are highly paid and more than qualified to do that jobā€¦
