Transfer Rumour Matías Vecino

[marnie]

Sounds like a great Chablis lol

Or a sexually transmitted disease.I'll take your suggestion rather than mine lol

Getting Sigurdsson vibes about this that it’s all taking too long, we’ll overpay what he’s worth & then eventually turn out to be utter gash

Figures getting banded about are 16/20 million. It's not even close to the 45 spent on Sigurdsson.

Not sure about this guy especially as it seems interest in Everton the player appears to have cooled.

or never existed.
not sure how they're related anyhow?

 

[Abraders]

Unreal isn't it. Eriksen and Ramsey earning about 750k a week between them. Obscene. You can sort of justify Ronaldo taking home half a million a week as the club will generate that many times over just because he plays for them, but ain't nobody going out to buy 10m worth of kin Aaron Ramsey shirts.

Not to mention that shirt sales very rarely influence the club's finances outside of the original agreement. It's usually a set amount agreed.

Tough to think of a more pointless signing. 29 years old who is at a fringe CL level but has to leave the lethargic pace of Italy to come and try and play in the PL. And we are paying 20m for it? Would love to see this one be rubbish.

I’m loving how much this is winding up the people who think having “potential” is better than someone actually playing at their peak and also believe that once a player hits three decades old they become geriatric. Please let this happen.

Well he’s not 29 and it wouldn’t be 20 million. And he’d probably be our best fit midfielder. So there is that.

What if the players peak is average? Then all you've done is signed an average player who isn't going to get better and will sell for less than what he was purchased for. That is a possible scenario with this player.

Mark Noble would also be our best fit midfielder if we signed him so should we do that?

What if you sign a player and his knee explodes in the first training session?

That's a possible scenario with every player.

 

[Lanolin]

He's not that great, he'll instantly become 'world class' if he signs for us though.

Or 'an absolute embarrassment who should be playing in League One'. What he definitely won't be, is just an alright player.

 

[TheBigIguana]

What if you sign a player and his knee explodes in the first training session?

That's a possible scenario with every player.

What's more likely: a slightly above average player remains slightly above average or his knee explodes?

It's Everton we're talking about, he may as well hand over his knee caps now and retire with some dignity.

This is the reason why to spend any more in this window is crazy, have we learnt nothing from Theo and Tosun.

 

[Abraders]

Spending big on stop-gaps isn't the best idea.

However in our circumstances with injuries and how long and carefully they might be utilised to get up to speed, midfield is a priority to improve upon. Especially considering we also don't rate the alternatives (Siggy, Schneids).

So for me, if Vecino is a welcome addition if he's any good at togger.
