Davies and Kenny shouldn’t even be near the subs bench.

Roma didn't seem particularly arsed about keeping hold of Mo Salah either
buy-out iircNot the best example - I can't remember the reason but wasn't there a contract reason or something that allowed Liverpool a cut-price deal?
There’s a weird narrative going around that good players have to cost £50m+ forgetting that very few other clubs pay £30m for absolute bilge like we do.
Why?
You said we have no money
We can and should do much better than Pony Hawks.I thought Davies did well last season especially when Allan was out I don’t understand why a lot of people want rid.
Not to fuel the fire, but what is the point of Perez with Gray and Townsend signed...In Perez's case it would be loan to buy.
Perez is a central player predominantly.Not to fuel the fire, but what is the point of Perez with Gray and Townsend signed...
Based on absolutely nowtIt would seem that Benitez has been impressed with this deadwood and is keeping it, add to the Icelander, oh boy.
Until the money leaches in the club are gone you will be seeing " Everton make enquires " a lot.
And be absolutely sure, if the Premierleague were to make an example of one team for breaking the rules it would be us. We're not one of their beloved six and we're not some yoyo club jumping between the division. We're big enough and historic enough for it to an impact whilst small enough for it to not affect the Prem's brand.
Because we are miles away from being City or Arsenal. 9th-13th this seasonWhile City and Arsenal go after Kane, Grealish and White we go after Townsend, Gray and Jones!!!! ??
A target of 30% yoy? Which clubs have ever managed that over more than a season or two without the team winning promotion or a trophy?
And the car salesman analogy isn't really apt. Football is a team game and it's a matter of opinion, not fact, whether an individual player is responsible for the success or failure of the team. No player with options would sign a contract that meant their reward was limited by the performances of their teammates or the team's failure to reach top 4. Under a system like this, we would probably not have given James his full wages this past season, but (a) would that be legal and (b) any player with options wouldn't consider signing for us in future. And anyway the effect on players' performance would likely be negative, prompting a focus on measurable stats like successful passes rather than effective ones.
A car salesman relies on having good cars to sell, and the marketing of the marque and finance package in offer will make a difference, but individual performance measures are far more applicable.
Having said all that, I agree that the principle of holding people to account and it does look like that hasn't happened enough at times at the club.
