See below - what would you do if you were KT?
- EBT chose Atalanta
- Dia not sold on Everton + Maupay wages an issue
- Gnonto held up as Leeds driving the price up a week before the championship start
- Iheanacho still on tour + Leicester struggling with Piroe deal
- Outgoings could give more room to manoeuvere (wait until mid/late august?)
- 10-12m downpayment is maximum available atm
- Ilman Ndiaye long term target but SU wanting 30m+ despite out of contract next season
- Barkley considered
- Disagreements in the club if we want an experienced CB or young/promising. Will only sign 1 if any
Dia "not sold on Everton". He plays for Salernitana ffs.
Maupay wages -- hes got 2 years on his deal, should offer him a lump sum to cover the difference in 12months time (when many others are OOC).
Iheanacho on tour means absolutely nothing regarding a deal.
Outgoings should have been sealed off already as a matter of urgency. Shaving off amounts were asking to get deals over the line to be able to invest asap.
Barkley would be total and utterly stupid
We need to sell at least 1 CB as it is. We would need to sell 2 before signing anyone. I dont see Godfrey or Keane linked to anywhere.
We need to be actively pushing sales and being imaginative on signings.
