Sell to buy

[bennyhaha]

I think I was clear in saying that I thought Moshiri would fund purchases wanted by the new management team and accept back what fees he can get for the deadwood. I know you don't like those players, but they will be interesting to some other teams, you are probably being a little less genuine suggesting we will have to pay people to take them.

It is not one extreme or the other, somewhere in the middle lies the truth. Newly promoted teams would want experienced premier league players - remember their aspiration is purely survival. Along with similar aspirations for all last seasons bottom half finishers. Also managers are really egotistical folk, they think they can change players and make them better, why else would problem players keep being bought (Balloteli springs to mind).

Not sure Balotelli's the best example - didnt City and the RS both pay about £20m for him, only to have to give him away free a couple of seasons later because of his high wages? I fear we may be stuck with some unflushable turds (see Klassen's Allardyce-esque "I see my future at Everton" quotes). Need Moshiri to put his hand in his pocket for what we need and accept there'll be some losses on the deadwood.

So sell to buy it is. If this dream team of brands/Silva last the season it will be an absolute miracle.

Why
Please explain?

 

[fandjango]

The likes of Bolasie, Klaasen, Sandro, Keane, Martina are worth about 15m in total - some of those are so bad that we will have to pay them to leave the club no doubt. We can cull players, but I just don't see us raising much money for them. Then what?

Where on earth did you pick that ridiculous figure from

I love these optimistic threads , me

Joel - Free
Cuco - 1m
Funes - 8m
Williams- Free
Schneiderlein- 17m
Besic - 4m
Mirallas- 2m
Bolasie - 8m
Klassen - 12m
Rooney - 6m
Galloway - 1m
Browning - 1m
Pennington - 2m
Tarashaj - 500k
Niasse - 10m
Sandro - 6m
Mccarthy - 12m
Garbutt - 1m
Connelly - 3m
Dowell - 7m

That's the amounts we could get by clearing out the absolute deadwood. And I've missed loads here too probably.

About 100m in fees for all those surplus players. Not to mention wages off the books. We obviously wont sell them all, but we have assets to sell. So get to work.

You have absolutely no grasp of the current market do you mate?

No I don't work in football.

Fees can get astronomical though at times, so I've tried to be very cautious in my valuations. And because I think the high wage demands from a lot of these players will hinder is in getting bigger fees off willing buyers.

how is McCarthy worth more than niasse?

Some are alright but you'd be surprised how much Tarashaj, Dowell etc. would go for. Not sure why you'd sell Dowell anyway but that's for another thread.

I hate to say this but...the RS sell to buy and they're doing a decent job of it. Tbf most teams do unless you have the turnover of Utd and more recently City. I reckon Chelsea will sell Hazard this summer to be able to bring players in, isn't that why FFP was brought in?

They way they do it is realy good, they sell a top player but he isnt missed because the replacement is allready in or the squad can adjust so you dont notice they have gone, Courtihio. A selling club yes but they have been like that for ages but now have a clear business plan based around it, a world away from Everton sell to buy but without an idea who to buy or what to do with the money. They have learnt from the mistake they made on Suarez, have we learnt on from the Lukaku replacement fiasco?

 

[Brendan Janus]

The way carry out our buying of new players, is nothing short of, AMATEUR !!

 

[Kev The Rat]

Where on earth did you pick that ridiculous figure from

You have to factor in wages - many of those players will want their salaries subsidised in some way by us. Who the hell is going to pay Bolasie 70k a week? Unless he goes on a virtual free.

 

[Bob Elstone]

McCarthy is absolutely useless. Total utter drain on funds. He should be one of the first out the door. Can’t string two games together and is extremely limited talent wise.

 

[havrey0123]

Most sellable assets were Barkley and there gone, and the money has been spent.

There's no big money players there to sell apart from Pickford, but no one will pay big money for him. Hence why so many players need to be sold to generate some sort of warchest.

 

[fandjango]

Youre making ZERO logical points here
Just throwing numbers youve guessed at to support your own agenda
Oh and by the way rumours thrown about the Bolasie wanted by at least Newcastle Utd .... their fans are screaming for him and Celtic
So yes somebody may well pay that for him

You have to factor in wages - many of those players will want their salaries subsidised in some way by us. Who the hell is going to pay Bolasie 70k a week? Unless he goes on a virtual free.
