Buy backs aren't great at all. With a loan, you know what you're getting. With a buy back clause the club holding that right can literally just decide at any moment to come and take him back. No prior warning, no negotiating, 10 minutes before...

Maupay has never really had any injury issues. Was 3 years younger and even though his record weren't great, he'd still outperformed Dom's last 4 seasons in his time at Brighton. 26 goals in 3 seasons vs 17 in 4 for Dom. I do see what you're...

Like who? Hes not going to any of the big names. Everyone else isn't paying him £100k a week unless they see him as one of their main players and top earners. The only club we know that was interested were Newcastle who wanted him as back up...

Well. I reckon his market value is probably about 7 million so I could see a signing on fee that comes close to that. 28-year-old players worth less than 20 million don't get paid 100k p/w by anybody . He'll get a £5 million signing fee/loyalty...

There's about 15 clubs in the top leagues who will pay anybody £150k a week. Dom isn't gonna end up at one of those clubs.

Fair play to the lad, He really stuck with it last season. Took him 26 games like, but he got a 'hat-trick' . Top slotter.

Ta ra

I don't blame anybody. All part of the game, init. FWIW, I wasn't totally opposed to him seeing out his last year. I thought there were some signs the season before that we could maybe drag 10 goals out of him and that he could stay fit for a...

I think that was also indicative of the system being sussed out, though losing a player of the calibre of JR would undoubtedly affect any team. We were too easy to outnumber in midfield and the dynamics of the Richarlison/Dom partnership up top...

And the set up to get the most out of him was pretty much a broken system by the time we got to January. It's almost like telling your striker to 'just stay in the box lad' has an impact on other areas of the team.

Voted 4 myself nothing stopping our new American overlords showing the league we mean business from Tuesday onwards

Why do people keeping throwing words like 'animosity' and 'hatred' around? It's a very strange stance to take. I don't see any real animosity, just a load of people who think he's a busted flush. Loads of players we have now are viewed by some...

Bet the improved and expanded corporate experience seats add a few million per season too

There's more though. Increased corporate revenue is being achieved, ticket prices have gone up for all seats, not just the 13,000 extra seats, the concourses and their efficiency compared to Goodison should ensure we're selling more stuff, and...

Yes, he has had a rough time, no question. One particular injury was very nasty. However, it's part of the game isn't it? There's a million players out there who were boss for a bit and now they're not. It's irrelevant how or why, they're either...
