Edinson Cavani

[Gladystweet]

I doubt this. Him and Suarez probably had a good laugh at us in Uruguay training for years.

Yeah, never thought of that.

Actually, the late Transfer Deadline day approach is true, and did not originate publicly from the Esk.
Nobody will find anything from the Esk in the public domain on deadline day about Cavani.

The Cavani interest only became public about three or four days later and the Esk merely confirmed via Twitter what he'd been advised of late on TD evening, and duly got a torrent abuse.

My understanding is that Everton would like to pursue their interest in Cavani and that the finances are there to make it happen if... if they get any encouragement from either the player or PSG.

Thanks for clarifying Andy

Until Jim White says it's on, then believe no one.

Walsh is some talent spotter.

All these hidden gems.

To be honest, this is one thread I never thought I'd see on this board.

I guess it's kind of cool.

No offence mate, but Cavani currently earns 120k pw after tax on his current contract at PSG, assuming for a second he'd want roughly a 25% increase to move to a much lower down club - and to offset an obvious reduction in such things as goal bonus, bonuses for winning things and other such things he'd have in his contract at PSG, that would bring the salary we'd have to offer him (assuming a modest increase to 150k pw after tax) of around 290k pw we would have to offer the player.

You truly think the finances are there to make that happen if the player give us the green light, i for one think there's not a chance in hell we have remotely the ability to offer anything near those figures.

Unless you mean that the finances are in place should the player give us the encouragement that he is willing to take a large pay cut to move to Everton.

@The Esk is very very keen on challenging all things financial at the club, yet he very rarely / never at all challenges the spending power of the club over such matters, which all evidence suggests something such as this is laughably out of our ability and spending power

I have made an enquiry about having Jennifer Lawrence as my bit on the side, should she give me any encouragement on the enquiry - which demands she's happy with paying for everything on top of casting me in all her future movies and is ok with an occasional romp every other Sunday, then i will move forward with the deal.

None taken.
I was merely stating what I know to be factually correct at the time of the TD and when I posted.
You're more than welcome to your opinion.

Thanks for clarifying Andy

My pleasure Bungle.

 

[COYBL25]

I'd wager he's never even heard of Everton.

Apparently he's heard great things about Smokey Mo's and McHales Shamrock, so we may be in with a shout

 

[Yarrgh]

Good god why are you doing this to yourselves, the guy could walk into 90% of the worlds top clubs lol

Even in my most misery riddled state, I would still believe Everton just about scrape into the top 90% of the world's football clubs.

I deliberately misread the quote.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Oh my God what an embarrassment we are as if we could get Cavani lol what has Moshiri been smoking speaking of smoking it's all just smoke and mirrors and stinks of a fake bid it's funny that it's only The Esk who has picked it up and nobody else perhaps he is a mouthpiece for the club like when he was chatting loads of rubbish about us signing Koulibaly and Witsel is ours I reckon he is being told by the club to say things I don't even think he gets paid for it he just loves the attention and the feeling that he's involved it's pathetic really what an utter joke of a club we are the absolute state of us.

Too old.

Next...

I politely refer you to my earlier posting from which I've taken the salient facts in regards to your comment... the bold bit is important as it was NOT the Esk who made it public. Only once it was out in the public domain did he confirm that he'd heard it late on TD evening.

Nobody will find anything from the Esk in the public domain on deadline day about Cavani.

The Cavani interest only became public about three or four days later and the Esk merely confirmed via Twitter what he'd been advised of late on TD evening, and duly got a torrent abuse.

To suggest he is in effect a club stooge is not only totally unfounded but, in my opinion, grossly unfair.

But okay, you're entitled to your opinion.

Is your understanding from The Esk or someone else?
