He's 19.
30 odd league appearances, and 2 goals.
The example you give would be our record club transfer, and still lashing 25% on profit after it.
It would be insane.
Must admit, I'm starting to worry we don't have the capacity/bandwidth to spend what we need.
I felt perhaps we'd sell Branthwaite to allow it - after he renewed, I figured some PSR/sponsorship shenanigans must be in place.
Surely we're not...
It's not about a mindset, it's about reality.
He's 19, the probability is at some stage he moves on.
PSR dictates Everton have to factor in and prioritise resale on every transfer they make. None more so than what would be their biggest...
If we're comparing to Gordon, who was more proven and we hadn't been relegated - we asked for £60m. We got £40m+£5m add-ons. No sell on fee, as far as I'm aware.
I've no idea if Dibling is worth the gamble, but I dont think Everton should be...
Everton should definitely walk away from any deal that includes a decent size sell on fee.
Resale value has to be the priority for every signing we make, particularly when its already high risk for what is hoped potential.
We've got to start...
