I can’t see him being £40 million? I don’t think Everton would spend that on one player, when a big rebuild is needed. But then again this is Everton we are talking about.

Mate we signed ali in a deal that can reach 40m and he’s was an outcast with a terrible attitude, on high wages and hadn’t played a decent game for 3 years
 


Didn't say they were - Takowski is a free with experience who Burnely would keep of if they could, fine.

Lingaard is a free that doesn't start for United and they are only keeping to make cash.

Neither is actually free, because frees have huge wages - so less to spend on youth.
Yeah, you look at Lingard and he'll probably want, say, 6 mil a year over 3 years plus a big signing on fee, let's say that's 20mil over 3 years.

Or you sign someone like Lewis-Potter for initial 16m, pay him 3 mil a year, that's 25mil cost over the same period, maybe a little more in add ons if it goes well, but that would be a good thing.

But the difference is that Lingard you can never recoup a penny because at 30+ on high wages there's little to no sell on value, whereas KLP you have a player with a 16m value which you could in the future recoup some or all of, or make a significant profit on. It's like the difference between renting and owning a home.

Maybe you make the argument in favour of Lingard if he's a much better player (is he?) but economically there's no argument for signing him rather than a KLP type.
