Usmanov

[tirion]

Lol. How did he make his fortune? By 'doing lots of good work for people', just like you said.

Unreal. Give your head a shake.

you dont like it? vote with your feet, just disassociate yourself from anything to do with EFC

Im thinking of it like a consortium of Moshiri, Usmanov and Soichi. They had 300 mill exposure in Arsenal jointly. I think they made a concise decision last year given the growth in the Premier League to increase that exposure. They released Moshiri from Arsenal to buy 87 mill worth of Everton which will increase. Moshiri is officially acting separately but I think the subtext is he's working as part and on behalf of the consortium. I think we will see new and inventive ways of commercial funding coming our way.

The job of work Moshiri has now is to increase the value of Everton, which is basically good news for us. But it seems we have some very heavy hitting unoffical backers behind us and we need to be massively careful how we play all this.

This is essentially in my opinion a group of very wealthy buisness men, with long held trustful relationships acting separately officaly but collectively unofficially as a group to increase their overall stake in the premier league gravey train.

Sounds feasible.

It's why I fear for Everton as much as have high hopes.

Dave this is the best Everton can realistically do, and we both know it. I know your never happy like.

I've seen scores of better players than Schneiderlin at Everton mate. Please dont think this feller is anything we haven't seen and signed on numerous occasions. Even the likes of Olly Dacourt were a more thrilling signing form the recent past.

Please don't post fake photos. Thanks.

 

[windymiller]

asking someone if they set a different expectation level from the football club they support ethically to one they use int here own life, how is that belittling, it's asking someone for an explanationof the personal values they hold

He doesn't answer to you and doesn't need to have his ethics challenged by someone who basically admitted he doesn't have any. I object to your ludicrously aggressive stance that doesn't seek any answers but just seeks to intimidate. Russia suits you.

Why would I do that? Cant I voice hesitation and alarm over us paying fees that should get us top quality but are only getting us decent?

Sorry mate I jumped in there I think. I thought you were talking about the Moshiri Usmanov link.

Yeah of course I agree he's a good player but if we want to be champions of the world again then he probably won't cut it. I'll get behind him and the team as always but I've been clear on my opinion that if you want to do better then we need some seriously talented players in.

That won't happen over night, but if we can get a new stadium to increase revenue blah blah then we can spend silly money of top players and actually compete. Who'd want to play for us now? (Other than everyone on this forum). If we get more of a European presence, better players are attracted, modern stadium etc, that's how to win, it's been proven.

The big question is, we missed the boat in the 90s big time, so will we be able to do all this fast enough to ensure other teams below us in the league stay there? and that it's an advantage to help us keep up and compete with those teams that seem cemented in the top 4, rather than constantly play catch up?

Just my opinion.

The price for top quality is in excess of 70m.

Those are the fees people pay for top quality.

See Pogba, Paul.

Who do think we should be going after Dave?

It's more than feasible. It's already happening now. Usmanov is already pulling the strings.

 

[SerenityNigh]

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, so I'll leave this here. (Not sorry about the size.)

Dave mate just think about the money we could actually get players that could play your style off football and win us trophies better then hoofball isn't it

See Gueye, Idrissa. See Wanyama, Victor.

If he was player that could come in and calm that tendency to hoof right down I'd agree. However, another reservation I have on him is that he tends to receive the ball and then immediately release it long down the field.

Barkley may as well be sold this window, because this is another change that will diminish further his influence on our approach play.
