So Real/Barca come calling and offer 40mil we say we want 70m, you know what will happen the classic transfer request (Agent in his ear) will be handed in then we will have a player who doesn’t want to be here!

Don’t care. He signed the contract, it’s tough luck. Obviously those clubs would just pay what we want though. They’re not exactly know for shrewd negotiating and picking up bargains are they.

 

[JLW]

If that’s the offer he won’t be sold

I have no doubt if someone flashing 70mil at us we’re taking it! Not because we want to but because we have to.

1 big sale isnt gonna cut im afraid.

Why? and what’s the point in 777 if we have to sell 2/3 of our biggest players this summer. The fans will turn on them before a balls kicked.

 

[MikeH72]

I hope you're right i'm just not so sure like I said if he gets England caps and does well its different but I can't see teams offering 60 or 70 mil for a player who hasn't got caps or played in the champions league or anything and I don't know if everton are in a position to turn down bids of 40 and over at the moment even if it seems low.

As was pointed out above, City paid £45m for Nathan Ake who’d just been relegated. So yes they would.

Why do we have to? With new owners coming in.

 

[JLW]

They didn't anticipate Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

£200m+ naming rights would have come in handy a few months back

True but that’s not the reason we’re here today they’ve been pissing millions up the wall since he took over. Alls that’s done is speed up the process because we were run by idiots.

 

[Goat]

We have 22 players now, not sure what you’re talking about

Im talking about in the Summer once loans go back and contracts end.

Mad how apparently you need champions leagues experience and England caps to get a big fee for your player, he obviously hasn’t seen much of the transfer market and prices over the last couple of years

Hopefully we don’t mate but unless there is a massive instant turnaround in finances then I think selling big players for the foreseeable will happe

27 year old James Maddison, freshly relegated, went for £40m. Some of our fans would’ve been writing off anything over £10m for him if he played for us and we’d just been relegated. Complete surrender monkey, defeatist, wet wipe mentality all over our fanbase. Just happy to let anyone and everyone walk all over us. Same with the “we aren’t getting any points back lads might as well suck it up and get on with it” crowd. Hope whoever ends up buying us culls this pathetic mentality throughout the club.

well we will buy players obviously and loan a couple get the odd free.

Those owners have airplanes to pay for.

What do you think we will get for him? Not what you want or the club want but what a club will offer?

But we will run out of players, people getting their knickers in a twist because 777 have already put money in, apparently PSR is not an issue, is this money for day to day maybe, is it for the ground maybe. Must prem clubs run in debt and yet they still manage to sell a big player and buy more players

I don't know why you're being strange its not like Everton don't have form for selling players for less than some people think we should is it. Neither of us know what they'll do like I said I hope you're right I just wouldn't be surprised if they ended up caving if a bid came in you must have more faith in them me which is OK but thats all it is. Upamecano only cost 40 mil too if we're going to randomly pick out single players so if you can get that sort of quality at that price not many people will pay double it. Branthwaite is really good but he's not the only good young centre back in the world some of the reason there will be so much interest in him is because he'll be seen as gettable because teams will think we need the money and he will want to go.
