Player Valuation: £8m
Arteta was fairly anonomous against Blackburn, he's been a passenger for a while. how many times have we begged he would return to form?, £75,000 a week is 3.25 Million pounds a year, four year contract left with us, that would take him to 33 and cost us a whopping £15.6 Million pounds.
As it is, we've got 10 million in for him, add that to the saving of 15.6 Million pounds = 25.6 Million pounds.
Is Arteta worth that much to Everton over 4 years?, has he justified that lately?, not against Blackburn, and not for years in my opinion.
Good business, would have liked him to stay but can understand why the deal made sense when you see Barkley threading through balls like he's doing.
Losing Jagielka, Fellani, Rodwell would have been more damaging.
What i am concerned about, and not too pleased with Moyes and the board about is the striking options....That's the real problem we have got to face up to.
Great buisiness to be honest,just to short notice to get replacements if we would have been allowed to that is!
