Can we buy them?

Not unless we shift out Keane first. But even then, no. They’re at the level of playing champions league football whilst Keane might not be good enough for a team who finished 12th and Mings almost got relegated with Villa.

If he’s good enough for Barcelona he’s good enough for us.

But if they give us a good offer I would take It.

New contract makes sense, he is a solid player, it is protecting his value and it is going to save us money in our books because of how amortization works. We have signed him for £30M on a 5 year contract 3 years ago. That means he is costing us £6M per year, so around £12M is left in our books. If he signs a new 5 year contract, that number goes way down - from £6M per year to £2.4M per year. This is a really important number for FFP purposes, it basically allows us to sign one half of Allan as he is going to sign for £22M for 3 years - that's £7.3M per year.

Excellent point mate, if you're not short sighted it makes sense.

Is this how it works? Interesting

Weird one is Michael.

When we signed him he’d been nominated for young player of the year by the PFA, and United were rumoured to be interested in re-signing him. Pundits and former managers seemed happy to declare him a top talent and future England regular.

I wonder if the apathy Everton fans seem to have for him is because we’ve been pretty gash for a few years. He may be one of several players currently at the club that could flourish if we start to build towards something more positive,

Of he could just be crap.

Carlo rates him obviously. If he was willing to kind of drop the search for a new CB after only seeing 5 seconds of Branthwaite on the pitch, it says a lot.

Koeman put a bid in yet?

Walken · August 30, 2020

he's got his weaknesses but I don't mind him, I like all 4 of our cbs and think we should stick with them unless a genuinely world class option is available

I agree, I would've love Thiago Silva but I'm happy with the options at the back and with a better midfield they'll do better.

Or those who don't rate him are wrong.

I don’t think that’s how it works is it? The £6m a year is because we’ve effectively pretended we’re paying the transfer fee over the course of 5 years, so the accounts are based on us paying out that £12m in the next two years. The new contract doesn’t change that, we would still have to square up the transfer fee regardless.
