Anyone reading literally anything into weird multi-club shenanigans at first glance needs to go to bed.
There will probably be loads of odd deals and such in the future that won't make sense until maybe even a year after. I am unbelievably not...
Even if it’s true, (which it won’t be) it’d likely be financially jiggery pokery.
Buy the lad for £30 million, 5 year contract meaning £6 million a year on our PSR. Roma pay us a loan fee of £6 million and his wages, no impact on Everton.
Make no bones the previous owners would've caved and offered him stupid money.
This lot have stuck to their guns and he's seen his arse. Bravo.
No personal axe to grind and he's been a good bargain buy.
However, I certainly wouldn't be sucked...
Good luck to him. I really rated him when he first broke through, and saw something of the great Graeme Sharp in him. While he never scaled anything like those heights, he did provide a Sharp-like cameo with the most important goal he ever scored...
He came for buttons and scored some very important goals, never doubted his attitude but his body couldn't handle the Prem, best for everyone he moves on and good luck to him, he became a symbol of the struggles of the last few years and that...
Wish him well scored some really big important goals for us. Not his fault he can’t stay fit and l think it’s best for all parties.
Moyes talked about “availability” quite extensively and he’s definitely one that comes under that especially...
