Sandro makes Sevilla switch

[Ebbo]

but if we loaned him to a premier league club and he got some game time and bagged a few goals, he would either come back a better player for us, or be worth loads to a premier team who will happily cover his wages.

..the problem will be Sandro’s wages which are reported to be between £80k - £100k per week and the length of his contract. No club will pay a huge fee and match those wages for a player who struggles for game time at Everton. I imagine Everton will be happy getting him off the books and recouping most of what they have paid.

My fear is we are allowing a hoofball merchant with no track record of success, on a short term contract, to reshape our squad. And in doing that we've lost Barkley (23) and Sandro (22) for a combined £25m and bought in a 28 year old and a 26 year old for £50m.

Is it wise to strengthen teams around/below us though?

..I don’t think Barkley’s Transfer was anything to do with Allardyce. The fee we got for him was down to the player running down his contract. That is a fact of the modern game. We get big fees for some players and less for others.

How can Allyrdyce be blames for the Barkley or Sandro situations ?
Are you suggesting then that he should not have bought a striker or Walcott even though in one game a blind man could see the quality he brings.

How will he get game time at Sevilla if he couldn't get into our [Poor language removed] team? Honestly.

Better management.

...and then sells them for £8m

Walsh is in charge of player sales?

Ok.

Speak the same language.

So let me get this right, we purchase a young Spanish lad for just over 5 million. It was clear at the time that he wanted to stay in Spain (go back and read the transfer thread). He bombs...I mean he never really looked remotely up for it.

We manage to ship him out on loan for 2 million and if he comes good we get an additional 9 million.

Sounds like a great deal for us considering I doubt he would have ever settled in England anyway.

Seems we can only find cloulds among the silver linings now.

Only issue is that in the meantime we paid him £100k a week.

 

[yakublue]

really hope there isn't an agreement in place for a permanent deal as part of this loan.

 

[pejic]

Everyone seems to be forgetting that he's not very good.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

He'll do well there. Guarantee it.

 

[toffeejack]

i like thye reports saying season long loan until the end of the season. bit of an odd wording to use in jan if you ask me.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

He has to trap a ball and stop falling over first though

Reckon someone that was a success in La Liga can do that mate.
