Transfer Rumour Gabriel (Lille)

[Westend Blue]

Still not convinced Napoli have the money for Gabriel unless they sell up

Would make sense if we wanted 4 CB's to sign Gabriel and Silva with Keane sold.

Gabriel + Holgate 1st choice pairing with Silva & Mina rotational options when required.

Depends if Silva would be happy with a bit part role though.

We won't be paying Thiago Silva £150k a week to be 4th choice centre back, and correctly so.

If it means selling Keane for £20-25 million and his 90k a week off the books for a free player on 150k a week its essentially 60k a week increase for a 1 year deal.

FFP and budget wise it still would make sense to do that based solely on what we would make on Keanes sale which we likely cover Gabriel's transfer fee.

I think Silva will go elswhere like but financially it makes sense if we want 4 CB's than to keep Keane and lose him for a pittance next summer in his final 12 months of his contract.

I'd be happy if Gabriel +1 was the CB duo with Holgate playing the Gueye role.

Holgates has 3 games in midland now he’s turned into Gana

Why take Holgate out of a position he is flourishing in?

This is Everton though adn we've been paying sandro 100k a week to play for other teams!

*I know we wouldn't have been paying the full 100k during loans, calm down...

 

[Brownie]

Gabigol?

Thiago Silva won't be going somewhere to be 4th choice CB.

Koulibaly 70m+
Allan likely 20/30m...

Allan will be replaced with a midfielder and Kouliby has to be sold first until that happens they are skint

Right but the point was they'll have 80m right there to spend. Plenty of money.

True could see City spending that amount on him as they need a quality CB if they do or not due to the CAS ruling will be interesting to see

 

[Eggs]

....I reckon he’ll watch us play tonight and then decide. I hope his satellite dish is bust.

Looks like spending a lot of that on Osihmen.
