How much is he on?

265 w/k.

Saw something that between him Martinelli (:cry:) and Vieira who are being shipped this week we’re saving Ā£400 w/k or Ā£20 mill a year.

What happened to Vieria

he started well when we signed him but paid over the odds, Ā£35mill I think, had an injury then never got anywhere near contention, couple of loans that didn’t do him any favours, just sold him to Hamburg for Ā£7.5 mill

Top Everton business yesterday. Balogun has a change of heart at midnight and walks away from the deal and we sold Beto to Fiorentina. It’s left us with Barry as the only striker at the club. Plus obviously we sold our best player in Ndiaye for about 60mil when players like Savinho are going for 85. Kinda funny how bad the club is at the business side of things :joy:

Similar happened at Villa with Emi Martinez. Deal was all but done with Juventus, so we pulled the trigger and signed Zion Suzuki, only for Juve to bail. Hence why the sale of Martinez to Chelsea was only £7.5M because everyone knew we were snookered! Gutted he went to Chelsea as they are one of our direct rivals for Champions League.

I feel like getting rid of Martinez might end up being good for you in the end. I think he would’ve been a bit of a toxic liability for you.

Unfortunately combined with the other players you’ve lost, the whole spine of the team is gone.

6 of the 11 players who started the Europa League Final have departed.

It’s more who we sold Martinez to that I don’t like!

I’m excited by the new players, but it’s going to take at least a year for them to bed in.

Fuck PSR and SCR!

Somehow the Toon have ended up having a half decent window.

Can’t remember who that fucking idiot pundit was who said we would be relegated this season. Same one that said that Haaland would be shit for Citeh when he signed for them.

Yeah, they can afford to buy our star players (Rogers) and we buy their rejects (Garnacho)

Edit: Also, it doesn’t help that Chelsea own about 100,000 players!

Like I said in an earlier post it’s certainly a relationship that one way to another benefits both clubs. I don’t blame them for doing it either just frustrating there are loopholes that allow it.

PSR and now whatever the name of the new regulation is are making football so complicated and in my opinion is only really benefitting the ā€œBig 6ā€ as it even comes down to location. London clubs alone will always make more money from corporate sponsors etc just because they are in London.

I’ve never loved and hated something so much at the same time.

Maybe I’m just grouchy cause we got pumped by West Ham last night :joy:

Richarlison not in Spurs EPL squad. Interesting.

Jackson Tchatchoua just scored potentially the worst own goal I have ever seen in our game against Blues today. I’m blown away at how bad it was.

Some way to wrap up your Everton debut.
