Bolasie played 29 games for Everton on a 5 year contract.

Long contracts with PSR can be a double-edged sword. We’ve been stuck with players before.

I'd be interested to know how/why this 2+1 contract scenario happened. Doesn't even make sense from a PSR point of view. Still, he's signed, that's the main thing and there's always contract extensions.

That's more like it

I'm sure Dave will scrutinize and tabulate every transfer for both clubs to prepare for one of his countless diatribes lol

If its £12mil and 1 year goes by then theres £6mil left. If Everton then take the option, the £6mil becomes £3mil for each of the remaining 2 years.

That's true. Overall though his contribution was in credit at this club.

Doucoure got himself into a lot of good positions is the other way to view it. Doucoure got through a hell of a lot of hard work for Everton. His work rate will be missed.

I was never a Doucoure basher. If Alcaraz gets as many important goals for us as Doucoure did he'll have done well for himself.

You mean the PSR rules that they make up as they go along? Yeah, I’ve no idea.

I wonder how an option plays out under PSR?

I have it on good authority that they're hopeful they can still use Lira on Roma. It's what Gasperini remembers from his youth.

I can’t see Pickford leaving. His contract expires in June 2027 - I can see us offering him a significant contract in the next year or so to finish the best part if his career with us.
