Gbamin

Cost £22m. Don't even remember him kicking a ball for us. Great business.

Another waste of money gone either we’re turning a corner or on our way down time will tell.

so how does a contract termination work?

lets say gbamin is still owed 10 mil in wages, presumably he doesnt say to everton i will leave for nothing

i guess he says he will take the wages payment up front and leave

surely we would negotiate and offer him like 5 mil to leave and then he accepts?

There are two possibilities.

1. The scenario you outlined above.

Or,

2. A club comes in for him; Everton ask for a transfer fee (£5m). They can’t get the deal over the line in time, so rather than be lumbered with his wages for a year, they agree to terminate at zero cost so Gbamin is free to move.

In either scenario, we’re out of pocket but not as bad as if we’d have kept him on the books for a whole year.

Be gone, thot!

Is he our worst signing ever?

Was cursed with injuries, like many others.

Was Everton the worst run club he ever played for? Damn right we were.

Hopefully this is true

Would be good if true. He could have done it sooner, but I still have some respect for people who don't completely take the pee and milk every last drop.

It's unfortunate for Club and Player that things never worked out with Jean-Philippe Gbamin, but that's how it goes sometimes with injuries and the like. I have absolutely no ill feelings towards the guy and wish him every success in moving on and finding a club.

From the BBC:

Everton have terminated the final year of the contract of midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin.

The 27-year-old joined from Mainz for £25m in 2019 but his spell at the club was wrecked by injuries.

He managed only eight games for the club, including six in the Premier League, and spent last season on loan at Trabzonspor.

Hopefully this is true

Shaving another 2.5m off wages. Fantastic if true.

Good post, but I had to change one word, cos he didn't exactly play for us..

 

[GoldenToffee]

Probably cost us closer to £40m all salary included. What a pathetic football club we are.

 

[riddick]

Honestly, I backed him up a ton. This is just a joke of a player. Enjoy....I don't even care where you go.

Pound for pound possibly worst transfer in Everton history

It's wild, the second he touched an english stadium his legs just exploded. Good riddance.

Oh his legs looked like this and we were like "Yeah, it's fine. What's the worst that could happen?"
