Transfer Rumour Theo Walcott

[Paul E]

John Merro has said this is all but done.

So this is OFF.

All we need now is The Esk to haunt it with his presence and it’s officially doomed

But at this is Everton we will.sign the wrong Theo.

 

[ExpatinBangkok]

The would be great! Scores goals and can play as a back up striker if tosun is injured.

 

[Efcjake]

He'll be good until his legs go and then we can loan him to Sunderland or Wigan.

If someone wants to vault me from the summer, my one and only proper bit of ITK info I've had in God knows how long was about Walcott - a colleague of mine's brother works at the agency Walcott is represented by.

We sounded Walcott out earlier last year after we had renegotiated DCL's new contract (same agency) - at the time Walcott wanted stupid money and it was never going anywhere

Presume something must have changed now

28mill on Bolaise though.

 

[Sweeneytoad]

Point is they are worth what a club is willing to pay.
If we (as a club) think he is worth 110k pw then the club will pay it , if not they walk away.
Makes no difference what you or I think in this crazy world of footie.
Christ a couple of Neymars & M'bappe's would fund our new stadium !

I just cant see us paying silly wages on him. Elstone said at the AGM wages are something we have to closely monitor. It's not good value for money.

 

[Sweeneytoad]

The fee we pay for a player doesn't bother me. The wage we pay them does.

 

[Neiler]

its a funny one, rate him as a player, i don’t like his mentality in fact I think he is a bit powder puff.

That said we need goals, he has end product, we need pace, he has pace.

Buisness wise it seems mad to pay 28 mill for Bolaise and 20 million for Walcott who play the same position. 48 million on right wingers and probably the guts of 200 k a week on wages on one position. Is that position even a prirority. Hmm.

That may be a bit narrow, as Walcott went through a phase of calling himself a striker, but he’s not going to play up front for us in reality.

If it comes to pass Bolaise will go to the left, Walcott to the right and Gylfi in at 10.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

This may have been covered in here already, but John Cross now saying it’s a go-er. He’s sourced to the gills at Arsenal.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Will go some way to reducing the lack of pace in the team and will allow Bolasie to be rested so he doesn’t overdo it. A good player to fit anywhere across the front three and will be more productive than Mirallas. Hope this doesn’t mean the end for Lookman or Vlasic though.

 

[4737carlin]

Look at it this way, i heard we offered 20m? we got 15m for Barkley, so basically we are spending 5m and getting a player who is so much better, hope this comes off

Mirallas 60k pw
Barkley 60k pw
= 120k pw
Thats a hole in the transfer budget that will be filled.Thats from 2 players out of the 1st team picture.
Its all obscene amounts of money but Big Sam wants the squad trimming this might be the way they do it.
Under FFP its unwise to lower the wage budget as it would restrict us the following season.
So it means jack to me , I just want to see better players being at the club.
As I said Obscene money.

£110k per week is below average for our recent signings!

We don't exactly play expansive footie at the moment, so someone who is quick and scores goals, might be a player we should be looking to sign?
£20mill at 28, with the goals he brings....no-brainer, sign him please.

He is.
