How??? I ask everyone how???? The player would belong to Everton if this happens, not Roma! Roma would get a loan of one of our young players, we get a much better and mature player back in a year or so. I can’t understand for one second how some are spinning this as a negative. It’s basically using a great club in serie A to prepare a player for the premier league. How can this be interpreted as anything other than a win for Everton? This is insanity.
We’re not city or Chelsea who seemingly have unlimited funds to be able to buy players and send them elsewhere to develop. If we have €30m to spend on a player it needs to go on a winger/cenre mid/right back ….to play for us.
If he gets a bad injury or turns out to be a dud then how has it benefited Everton? Again, Chelsea and city can take these punts, we can’t. The risk appears to be entirely with us and not Roma?
I’m sure there’s something going on that’s PSR related for both clubs but it’s not a definite win for Everton.
This simple.

6 millions in our psr budget is a top player for our squad which is currently depleted. We kept been told for months that our psr is not good, yet now is suddenly good enough to do favours to Roma.

Our PSR is fine? no idea why people are saying it's no good. Could be a few reasons we are doing it.
We want him... just not yet
We are planning on selling the womens team which gives us loads of capacity
we buy him (£6m from this years accounts) and then sell to Roma by 30th June 26 and that gives us £30m in PSR.
If we buy the player for say 30m over 5 years, his book value next summer would still be about £24m - only 1 year's worth of the cost would have been written off. So, if we then sold him to Roma for a similar fee, our book profit would be very low next summer.
The idea we would sign an expensive player to immediately loan them out to Roma is an absolutely bizarre idea and that's why I find it hard to believe. The only real financial benefit I can see is a year's loan fee, but sometimes that is just to cover wage fees.
Yeah I'm not buying it at all. If we had our own house in order and were doing well, it would be different.
But atm our squad is threadbare in numbers and in quality and if this was one of the first moves TFG sanctioned in the transfer market, there'd be kick offs left, right and centre.
No way are they stupid enough to allow us to drop 30m on a player and then loan him straight out to help their other club whilst we'd still need a rb ourselves.
Agree
We are told funds are still going to be limited for a year or two more. So if we don't believe a player is ready to play in the premier league, then we really should not be spending £30m to sign them. That's not a sensible move when the squad is so low on numbers.
Yeah it's got to be Bull mate, can't see it at all
I’d tend to agree mate. The estimates from football finance writers are based on available evidence and not necessarily the totality of all of our income streams etc. Not saying it isn’t limited but only the club will know for sure how much we are prepared to spend.
