A player Barcelona wants to buy back (and have to keep for a year) isn't good enough for Everton?

Wept..

Did he weep when Diego Forlan couldn't hit a barn door in this league, yet was sensational for Athletico and Villarreal.

The inference is that Koeman knew they were wanting to take him back so saw little use in making him bed in as part of our side.

There's not a big history of players leaving us and going on to much better things so don't think that statement has much validity Mikey. Rooney obviously, but that was a certainty and we were well reimbursed at the time. Steve McMahon possibly too. Can't remember anyone else having a distinguished career elsewhere after being sold.

Isn't the clause 12m euros anyway?, so it's only about £10m, not £12m. Personally I can't see Barca exercising the clause as I don't think he fit's in their system. I don't see them utilising him in their squad for a season so I doubt there's enough profit for them to pay him for 12 months before selling him on.

Milan appear to like him so I thin there's more chance of them taking him. Or he may come back here which I wouldn't mind to be honest. If he get's himself fit he'll find it a lot easier under Koeman.

Well off the top of my head I can recall four players who during my life time have left and went on to win league winners medals - Keown, Richardson, Ball, and Lescott. There's probably more. Although for Ball and Richardson I wouldn't call them 'much better things' as much as equally successful.

Actually....that really does change everything. Huh. Wonder why they waited until this year..

A young David Johnson -Ipswich one season the red lot for a winning career - back to us when over the hill!

I would argue Richardson and Ball won as much at Everton as they did after they left. Also we're talking a timespan of 45 years here. For every Lescott theres probaly 10 Jeffers and Anichebes.

Rooney?

Rooney had already been mentioned by the poster.

Just not to RS

Hope Man United buy him. Just for the exploding heads across the park.

 

[toffeejack]

That wouldn't be the end of the world.

Ah Woops, I've got the wrong end of the stick ha

They won't. They won't, because he will never make it in this league.

 

[toffeejack]

So has it been confirmed that barca were already going to buy him back and that's why we loaned him out? Or is that just paper rumour?

Suarez won't ever make it in this league?
