All this age talk is rubbish, I can see with my eyes that Gana is the best midfield player we have his stats show he is not only the best midfielder in the premier league but across all of Europe, the guy also had the England midfield earlier on...
To me, it does sour his club-legend been-here-ages legacy somewhat.
Shouldn't have signed his previous contract, yet here we are with him still putting Ireland over Everton and taking yet another couple of million off the club.
Great work if...
If we sold Goodison to the women's team it's an opportunity cost issue. Even if the land is worth little, they would have to build a new stadium. It would be easier and cheaper to pay an inflated cost for Goodison.
Separate entity, the way the rules seem to work, we could retain that and rent it to them for £#m per year, or sell that to the new woman’s team entity as a separate transaction.
Renting it to them would seem most sensible through as its...
I think TFG need to show some ruthlessness here and completely withdraw the contract offer, he’s taken the mick out of the club by keeping us on the back burner as a backup option imo.
He should be embarrassed signing a new playing contract knowing that he's incapable of playing at this level anymore. He shouldn't have signed the last one.
I think the idea of keeping him for another year is his presence in the dressing room that helps motivate the team, which I thought was part of what the manager is supposed to do before a game. Nice to be such a nice guy to have around that...
We must be in a really healthy financial position if we're able to hand out playing contracts to players who have proven themselves unable to stay fit for several years. I guess that can only be a good thing if you think about it.
I think Moyes wants him and has possibly got DCL a package that works - but he’s trying to get TFG to sign off on it
There’s not many strikers out there who would choose to come to us right now given our recent struggles.
We get to register 25 players, three of them are goalkeepers, so you can afford to have one of them as a coach/mascot/cheerleader. That leaves 22 spots for outfield players, why would we give up one of those spots for a player that won't play...
For an ACL it’s usually anywhere between 6-12 months mate.
He’s a £20 mill footballer mate, if he was on a free covering his wage for a few months might be the clever play.
