Transfer Rumour John McGinn

He's a fine player, but he'll be 31 and has two years left on his deal. He won't cost nothing (he's their captain), but he'll be worth that at the end of his Everton contract. These are the types of deals we should be avoiding.

Isn't Gana 35 and technically he's got 2 years left now. Just saying, mate.
 

McGinn seems an odd link. Villa Captain, European football, plays each week.

Unless Villa replace him and he drops down the pecking order which I cant see, then not a chance he makes the switch.

The way transfers work these days I'd say there's almost no chance at all that we've speculatively just contacted Villa and said any chance of selling us McGinn. Either Villa have suggested he's available or his agent has been sounding out suitors.

Tend to agree, it may be coming from the player (not necessarily a link to Everton, but maybe McGinn wants to leave).

Doesn't make sense for Villa to sell him after July 1st. He's not going to fetch a huge fee, and they could probably get a similar fee for him before July 1st next summer.
 
If I were Emery I'd be looking for an upgrade from McGinn, so this probably has legs despite the talk about Emery wanting him to stay. That's just talking up the price they can squeeze out of Everton.
 
Our interest is real. Emery has told the Villa Board he does not want him sold. We might throw in an offer to see if their Board put FFP management first but it is very unlikely they will risk annoying their combustible manager given his importance to them.
We're FFP compliant. You're conflating FFP and SCR which is more problematic. It just means wages have to come down whilst we are in Europe. There is no pressure to sell in monetary terms, but we need to find a way of either maximising revenue further still, which will be difficult given we have Europa but no CL football, but doesn't mean a sure fire sell is the only answer.

As it is we are stacked in midfield so it is possible that one of our midfielders does go. It might be Ramsey just for that pure profit and of course the money he brings in, but there's plenty of others that could go before a Ramsey: Buendia, Dendoncker, Bailey are the three obvious candidates, maybe even Barrenechea who spent the season on loan at Valencia and broke into the Argentina squad.

But again, we'll be looking at those on the heaviest wages first. That's likely to be the likes of Martinez, Rogers, Digne, Kamara, Watkins, Tielemans way before we get anywhere near McGinn. As it is of those only one would go if that's the route they choose to go down. McGinn only goes if he wants to. And given that's he's the club captain, has said how happy he is at Villa, given the rapport he has with the fans, how happy Emery is with him, it seems a bit of an odd link.

….yep, given his form at the end of last season, I’m mindful to agree they want rid.

Profit on sales affects SCR just like FFP. SCR has a more stringent cap, it's effectively willing clubs to be profitable.
