Confirmed Signing Jack Grealish

[Evertonthat]

I’ve an update on wages, if I may.

It’s now being reported that Everton will pay £90k per week with Citeh paying the rest (£210k).

Don’t know if it’s true. If it is, that’s a much better deal for us.

That would seem to be a completely feasible wage for us to pay. High end of our wage structure, but for his age, probably about as much as we'd want to be paying out. It doesn't seem too good a deal for citeh, but to be fair, nobody is going to be prepared to cover that wage (probably not even half of it). If citeh don't want to have Grealish in their squad, its still saving them £4.7M on wages.

Yeah read that too. It was a journo's opinion though I think - albeit a reasonably credible one.

If true though it would make this a no-brainer.

If things seem too good to be true they usually are!

 

[John from Bootle]

I hope he wants to prove a point and show Pep what he is missing but it also has the feel of Rooney coming back. We will have a few good moments but the money could have been spent on better.

Time will tell I suppose. He's clearly got ability so I'm just gonna wait and see.

If you think about it though, we pay £90k a week in addition to a loan fee of £5M, is that not approximately half of his wages?

He been training with a personal trainer for the last 3 months

I’ve heard he drinks with him as well so it looks like they are helping each other although the personal trainer is getting paid for the privilege!

I'm happy most of the time mate. It's just Everton's BS merchant officers and owners and their media helpers who annoy me.

Lord help me, am getting a little bit excited now at the thought of him tearing Leeds a new one on Monday night

Is that the city of Leeds or the team?

Both. He can be out Tonka.

Where have you seen this?

 

[jazzy]

There's no world in which we get him for 90k/week without a substantial loan fee. The package we pay will be at least upto the cost of his wages unless city get really desperate to remove his wages from the books. All imho of course

I suspect that that is correct. The deal will amount to us covering his wages whether that's made up of a loan fee and proportion of his wages or a straight loan fee. City and Everton will no doubt agree on which arrangement is better for PSR / P&L etc.

Either way £12 million is a huge sum for a player for one season but if he's the catalyst for bringing other players in , raising ambition , on field performance and this seasons outcome then he will have been worth it.

He seems motivated to come which , obviously, is great and he will immediately lift spirits and standards .

Mr Moyes we still desperately need a RW and RB too before the Leeds game.

Do we reckon it's this guy or Tyler, or this guy and Tyler?

Obviously getting both would be ideal, but I really don't want to be back in Premier League FFP jail again
