Ouattara & Hutchinson going for £37m does kind provide a bit of perspective on this like. Still think £40m is a very reasonable fee...

But what criteria are you basing your valuation on . If you pay less you are going below the level of a Hutchinson for example. Ironically the less money you spend the higher chance you have of gaining an inferior player and having to spend more...

Dibling played 33 premier league games last season, scoring two goals and making an assist in an ultra crap Southampton side. The idea that he'd need two years to 'develop' is ridiculous imo. He'd be a starter from the get go.

We have also purchased very average ones . Like it or not , unless you have a superlative scouting system , and/ or a superb academy you have to pay the money if want a better quality of player. ( Our scouting and academy are both notably poor at...

Who decides the price ? £40m is now become the average value of a decent player. Ideally you find value undiscovered elsewhere, but everyone is searching for that. Sometimes you have to pay the going rate or do without . At present all the widely...

It’s clearly the price of the stake. You ante up , or leave the game . No risk , no gain .

Yeah and remember how Richarlisons numbers were when we bought him? 38 games, 5 goals total, played a thousand more minutes. So hardly amazing. Oh he was two years older also.

Its all relative mate. You never remember how much you pay for someone when they are good, only how much when they are bad.

Hutchinson just gone for about what we last bid for Dibling.

In general life i agree if you give your word stick to it. I am a stickler for it plays on my mind if I cant do something I have promised to someone. But realistically how many do? I see it every day in work more and more just look...

We shouldn’t lower our own personal morality to accommodate the decrepitude of others.

I’m beginning to think our real scouts do it as they scour the world ( ha! ) for undiscovered gems . Maybe it’s an actual Everton thing ?

They’re doing the same right now with Barry.

It’s not just football , it’s life in general , if you agree to and sign a contract or give your word, you do your best to honour it . If you don’t , you are clearly someone who cannot be trusted and therefore best avoided generally. It’s basic...

Yeah , just like that Kean lad , the experts on here had his cards marked after a handful of appearances 🤣
