He's worth whatever a club is willing to pay, and unlike Stones, he wouldn't fit the criteria for a Guardiola vanity project.

I assume that's why he's biting the bullet and running down his contract. It's actually quite admirable, considering how many players sign bumper new deals and then kick off when their club asks for a prohibitive fee.

I think he signs a new Contract after the January window making him the highest paid Everton player with a release clause of 60-70 M. Would seem to make sense.
 
Jeez some of those are off the chart mental. "wouldn't be worth 25", "wouldn't pay what we paid". Holy poop, We Evertonians have been crying for 30 years for a goalscororer instead of someone who runs the channels does all the dirty work but hits single figures each year. Now we have one it turns out that they love the Andy Johnsons of the world.

Quality slotters are a commodities of the highest degree, people who hit 20+ year in year out simply do not grow on trees and if we are the owners of one should do all we can to make sure it's happy.

A boss slotter can mean the difference of CL or not. Me personally would build the team around getting the best out of him./
 
He's worth 150k a week wages and a new 6-year contract. Maybe we can entice him with a massive new contract and a buy-out clause, albeit one that only kicks in after the end of season 2018/19, giving us two more years to prove to him we can challenge the status quo in this country. If not, he'll have been extremely loyal to us with 5 years' service and would surely go with everyone's blessing if we are still mid-table in 2019.
 
agreed - but I do think he isn't out to screw everton. especially if it is a big bump. Perhaps no release clause gets added - but I do think he signs a new deal.
To be fair to him, a lot of players would take the pay rise and then still try to force their way out on the cheap six months later (Payet, Suarez).

I think he understands that no one is going to buy him at the price Everton would ask for. If he signs a new deal then I would expect him to remain here long-term.
