Have you rang Everton and told them you are smarter than anyone they’ve ever spoken to on the subject?

Or could it be that you’re not furnished with all the facts, knowledge or experience?

I'm not sure where i've claimed this?

I've simply put forward a frustration as to why the club arent doing this.

It's obvious...just as other clubs have done things which are obvious that we havent.
 

Wouldn't there be two contracts anyway? One for the selling club and one for the player? Alcaraz's contract with Everton starts July 1st because he's our player on loan until June 30th. Pre agreement deals can be made with players in the last 6 months of their contract because there's no selling club to sign a deal with.
 
Lads, just wanted to share a quick breakdown of how football transfers work nowadays — from a purely legal and contractual perspective.

Our club identifies a promising player. Let’s call him “Jean-Kevin Postponé.”
His agent, informs us that his client has signed a Pre-Pre-Contractual Expression of Mild Interest (PP-CEMI) with a club in Belgium and gets some photos taken in the teams stadium carpark. This document, written in invisible ink on the back of a Nando’s receipt, means absolutely nothing… until someone else bids for him, at which point it becomes legally binding in the Republic of Chad.

Naturally, the Everton delegation responds with a Memorandum of Tentative Affection (MoTA), expressing our intention to “possibly” sign him in the next transfer window, provided he’s not already signed for Spurs, Chelsea, or crypto-backed Real Bedford FC.

By this point, Sky Sports will be reporting we’re “in advanced talks.” What they don’t mention is those talks are taking place between the player’s 2nd cousin and a bloke from Finch Farm who cleans the cones and does the white lines on the training pitches.

Next comes the Post-Dated Contract of Dubious Authenticity, which only becomes valid once three things occur:
  1. The player gets international clearance,
  2. The moon enters Taurus, and
  3. Everton remember how to use the fax to issue the deal sheet before 11:59 pm.
Once the deal sheet is submitted before midnight, the player, the players agent, the transfer delegation and wor Kenny are free to sign the contract when convenient and the player mum is available to be presented with a 1st team shirt with ‘Mammy’ on the back.

It’s really a lot more straightforward than you are making it sound.

I don't think this scenario is why we haven't bought more than one player.

Most transfers happen closer to the deadline, it's a magnet. Today is June 19th.

Of course we can't wait until the deadline this summer, and I'm sure other clubs know that and will try and use that.

Again, it takes 3 to tango.

I'm not particularly worried or concerned.

More so, i find it odd.

People used to meme on Kenwright, but every week we dont sign a player we save an absolute fortune in wages.
