At the time they were more successful (hence why they moved). Liverpool didn’t want to sell any of them and these clubs came in with bids, the players agitated to go, Liverpool had to sell them. Same way we have to do every time we sell a player...
Fans complain about selling players but ultimately unless you support Real Madrid every single club is a ‘selling club’.
Liverpool sold every single one of Alonso Mascherano Arbeloa Torres Meireles Benayoun Suarez Sterling Coutinho Mane...
Our fans complained at every single one of those sales because they thought we should have got more. Brathnwaite for £70m falls into the same bracket.
Our fans will complain as they always do, but in reality it will be seen as a good price for him.
Don Hutchinson came from WHU to Everton then moved on because he couldn’t agree terms for a new contract, another player who came from Liverpool at the same time as Kevin Sheedy, I think, was Alan Harper who gave Everton valuable service, mostly...
Don Hutchinson was quality when he played for us, admittedly in bleak years.
Before that Beardsley, and ablett both good additions. Beardsley in particular was a top class player
Certainly had better value than they had with barmby and that...
He’ll be here for a long time if anyone is expecting a world record fee for a defender——I would imagine Everton would sell him if they get £70M for him but I doubt any club will be offering that much for him.
…yep, SFX junior school was in Salisbury St and SFX Bi-Lat on Shaw St.
I’ve mentioned before, Charlie Chaplin attended SFX Salisbury St when he was a child performer at Henglers Circus (later Hippodrome on West Derby Rd), my dad also went there.
