I think we're trying to be 'smart' but we never usually are.

So in the end i get the feeling it will be pointless and a waste of time and money.

Haha you're right - we can hardly prove to be smart over the years. Will give Bill / RM the benefit of the doubt here though - if you go to that much trouble there must be a good reason that they see for doing the deal. (Still haunted by Per Kroldrup mind you.....).

 

[N.S.N.O.]

It'll be a pre-arranged fee, like Falcao and Negredo.

and what happens if the kid is unlucky and gets a really bad injury (or just doesn't settle in England)?.....

If he turns out to be boss, it'll be lauded as a fantastic piece of business.

If he turns out to be crap, it'll be called weird, a farce, and a waste of time and money.

Standard GOT really. Let's just wait and see if he does anything for us.

It's a good question like, but I assume there's insurance against that on Olympiacos' end of things.

It IS a weird situation though.

Not really, it's as plain as day, otherwise the deal wouldn't have happened in this manner.

Nothing is ever plain as day with everton and transfers mate.

This is true, but this one looks quite clever tbf.

If this isnt the most Everton deal ever, then i will eat my kit.

...I am entirely confused. Did we sign the kid then?

They can't be pleased what ever the club does..

On loan..

 

[Tramps_mate]

For those struggling to understand..

Its basically the same as the Lampard deal that took him to City.

So far.

What is Falcao's pre-arranged fee? Is there an option to buy?

That's what is reported - apparently the loan is to test him after his injury, then a permanent if successful next summer.

Good luck him staying there when they don't make CL again....he'll be off to Spain

Oh I know, but point being if it works out then it doesn't matter if he scored 80 goals this season, the price is set.

Eric Dier all over again?

Alright lad you're trying too hard la'
