Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[ForeverBlue92]

Thats per year. His -400m is over the course of a number of years, but each year they make 150m more than us. Over 3 years thats 450m

Which is what FFP was designed to do.

Allow the scab 6 lot to keep spending and keep their european revenues.

If they didn't the scab 6 would be off to the super league.

Worrying starting to look like Thelwell is massively out of his depth. Clearly relied massively on Mendes at Wolves and it looks like he has no real connections in the industry. I recognise a lot of the players we are trying to sell aren't very good but a good director of football finds a way to make signings - loans with an agreed transfer fee next summer for example.

You know his job isn’t solely transfer based right?

You joke but the fact that we haven't sorted out a replacement for Delph even though we have literally zero players who can play that role makes me want to hurl.

Yeah it honestly wouldn’t surprise me now if our replacement for Delph ends up being Delph.

Yes there are other responsibilities relating to his role but I find it hard to believe that he can succeed if he is inept when it comes to transfers.

Arsenal’s revenue last year, in the midst of a pandemic, was £136m. Ours was £35m.

They make around £75m a year from matchday revenue, ours is about £18m

Our wages is £182m there’s is £244m

We tried to play with big boys but didn’t have the revenue to support it. It’s unbelievably poor management

There’s no conspiracy, we just have a woeful board and owner who have financially crippled us

I remember Esk saying at the time we signed Allan, Doucoure and James that we couldn't afford it. He wasn't wrong in hindsight.

The actual objective is to make the EPL as saleable an asset as possible. So if the top teams keep on buying all the best players they have more chance of success in Europe. Therefore making the epl a more attractive package for tv companies. It’s all a fix, centred around revenue for the governing body rather than sustainability of the clubs.

Just like when we resigned Pistone all those years ago.

He got injured halfway through signing his name. Deal is on hold pending two month recovery period.

It’s literally his first window here, we’re hamstrung because of a madcap owner and the dolts he allowed to waste his money. Let the man do his job completely before getting the knives sharpened

See the Echo out in the states are reporting that Andre Gomes and Nathan Broadhead weren't involved Vs Arsenal and not training with the group, you wouldn't be surprised to see either leave, or perhaps injured?

Gomes is injured I believe

Liverpool

Can you imagine!!!

Oh he was defo right, I had my head buried in the sand.

In all honesty there’s little things we could have done to capitalise on increasing revenue. We had James Rodriguez, one of the worlds greatest players and a hero to millions in South America, and parts of America. Why we didn’t have his name on every piece of merchandise over there is unbelievable.

I would have had water bottles, bills, socks…everything produced and sold specifically for that market.

Same with Cahill, market missed; Donavan and Howard and Li Tie all those years back.

When Arsenal bought Inamoto from Japan they flooded the market with their kits and his name. Made them tens of millions just off that

 

[windymiller]

Only one would be Spurs from Sky 6 but maybe not til next summer

They just signed Fraser Forster as back up which strongly implies that Lloris will be there no.1 for at least one more season.

 

[windymiller]

No, but all the other things are meaningless if we are relegated.

They were 3 poor and short-sighted signings.

Doucoure you could argue was a success I suppose. Allan has been a real disappointment for me. And James was fun, but totally unaffordable. About the only thing Benitez got right was moving him on to cut costs.
