Kinnear, as the CEO, shouldn't have a say on which players a club targets. That should be the responsibility of the recruitment dep't and/or the manager, depending on the model. As CEO he's meant to get the entire business running smoothly, you can't be giving him credit or stick for signings - it'd be like crediting Keith Wyness for us signing Mikel Arteta

We should hear updates on Gana, Keane and Branthwaite ‘towards the end of the week’ according to the Echo.

Searing insight as ever from the Echo.

I’m pretty sure that they used to put some effort into Everton coverage - now it’s a glorified RS fanzine.

Ah, mate dont.

I was just reading a article on there about how the RS are going to raise £200m this summer in sales.

£50m from nunez
£40m for Elliott
£15m for chiesa

Which are all "fair price tags" according to the echo. How in the blue hell is them expecting to make money on chiesa A fair price tag? They bought him for 10m he only manged 6 appearance scored 0 goals got 0 assits but the red echo is saying they'll make money on him.

Everton on the other hand should be happy selling branthwaite for £40m

I think people are missing the point that was being made to be honest. He was getting stick for signing Augustin, a player they spent about £20m on but who they never actually owned. The point was that it was a bad deal, not that he was a bad player.

That still entirely depends on the specific player and their role though.

The Gana situation is a no brainer - for the here and now he's really important to the team, even though there will be virtually zero financial return for us over his second stint & subsequent new contracts.

Then you have your Yousef Chermiti's, who we'll no doubt be looking to turn over at a higher fee than what we paid Sporting for him, despite his lack of playing time. We did the same with Moise Kean and others.

Free transfers don't have asset value, only wages and signing-on bonus affect the bottom line.

If they're doing their jobs properly they'll be out getting valuable footage of topless sunbathers in this weather.

Always classed Elliot as a very ordinary player, bit part player for years, runs around a lot, average pace and pops up with thd odd goal. All of a sudden he's for sale, Liverpool need funds for their World record spending spree. Elliot scores goals galore in the U21 tournament, looks the part, he is an average player like, that is liverpool's luck, when it's time to sell, Elliot somehow comes alive and scores goals..for the U21 team. Suddenly he's a £40m pound player, you could not make it up, I hope to the blue Hell we don't buy him.

Nobody's paying £15 million for Chiesa.

I listened to a pod and it was going on about Liverpool and said. Liverpool want 70mil for Nunez and won’t budge even though Napoli don’t want to pay anywhere near that. But the pod made out that it was some bargain and Liverpool valuation was spot on, like you say, we get told how much are players should be sold for by journalists and the clubs wanting to buy them.

It’s Annoying how much that get for there players, Jordon Ibe 15mil 10yrs ago and he’s now plying for Hungerford lol at 29, god knows what league they’re in

Thing is though, that won't make any difference to what the players are actually worth it will it? No football club is sitting there using the Echo to value potential signings, so whether they say it's a fair price or not makes absolutely no difference to anything.
