It's not how grown up business works, lads. In a marketplace where your moves are being scrutinised and learned from by your competitors, it's exactly how business (sometimes) works. Happens in politics all the time - want something to not be spoken about, give the press something else to chew on or they'll get hungry. Not saying that's definitely the case here, but I think we're much happier letting some pursuits be known about than others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solanke would cost £50 million odd, and wouldn't join to sit behind Isak. More likely to be Tammy from Roma who is available for £25 million, or Kelechi on a free.

Stal Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I think this is a work between Everton and us to highlight what we would have to do to get around the FFP/PSR/whatever rules as to point out the silliness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 And again we've found ourselves in one of those situations where us enquiring about one of the names on a long list has caused a meltdown. Yes I'm sure there was genuine interest in DCL, just like there is genuine interest in Kilman etc but I'd bet it was interest at a certain price. You can't find out a price unless you enquire, those enquiries lead to leaks. My guess is that Everton are going to sign Minteh and we used that situation to try and get a cheap deal for DCL.

I'd take Tammy no problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to be top dog and he will have plenty of suitors, whether it's Saudi or mid-lower PL clubs who are willing to take a risk on his injuries for the guaranteed 10 goals he'll provide.

Dr Jinx Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Don’t think it’s a work, I’d say the deal depended on Minteh moving and in the last day or two, better options have appeared for him, including staying here. Looks like the club will sell someone unexpected, which may solve our issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 27 minutes ago, Kid Icarus said: For the sake of argument, if we'd sold Wilson for the same amount we'd bought DCL for (let's say £20m) would the people who don't rate him at all (presumably including his Ancelotti years) still be saying it's a shit deal? Yes, as I don’t think he is as good as Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Cant imagine there was as much in all this as has been written about. It was probably all concluded in an afternoon but has been dragged out in tweets and articles over days just for content. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be banking on deals like this to see them through so they turned that deal down from man u and now this, or rather priced themselves out of it - lets say they do go over PSR and have to appeal, does all of these opportunities to make cash and declining them go against them? isn't waiting longer what Notts Forest got done for?

Yorkie Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I was absolutely on board with signing a certified goal threat from Everton for a cut price deal, so personally think it's a pity it hasn't worked out. I'm glad we're not being taken for mugs but I would never have expected that anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
