I understand the premise economically. But if the player just says “Nah” it’s pretty toothless. My presumption was that if they buy back the player he is theirs and they have to reach personal terms or sell him elsewhere.
-
If the player gets a choice I don’t see the point of a buy back clause. I can see that they have to reach terms with the player but I don’t see how they could choose to stay once the buy back is met. Perhaps I’m wrong though.
-
My understanding was that it’s in the contract already that if they pay the buyout they get the player back. Perhaps it just depends on the situation but in Gerry D’s case he wouldn’t have wanted to leave. Barcelona just turned around and sold him permanently I believe. Good deals to do for rich clubs.
-
Does he? I don’t think Gerry D had a choice.
-
Shows you what they think of him. We lost Gerry D to a buyback which I’m still bitter about.
-
We already brought in a striker, man. He had an interview and everything. Prob hard to sell to someone we want you to come be our 3rd striker.
-
Gueye should really help in this regard one would think. I’d have to imagine we play all 3 at once but I suppose we will see shortly.
-
I wouldn’t want to get rid of Doucoure. He’s not a superstar but a really solid box to box premier league starter for most clubs. The rest I agree with though I think Allan or Davies should stay for depth this season.
-
In this day it age it is. Our average starter is probably worth 3 times that and we are towards the bottom of the table. -
Yeah it’s done for this window. If he keeps on as he has started all parties will have the same opportunity next summer. It’s also just better for Anthony to play regularly than get 10 min off Chelsea’s bench now and then.
-
Onana and Patterson are making errors but you can see they are going to be really quality players. Went with Gordon today for his energy, competitiveness and a well taken goal.
-
Lot of injuries. Will eventually have DCL, Doucoure, Godfrey,Holgate, prob Davies
-
It’s probably not a situation that comes up much so reasonable they would overlook it.
-
Well now you’re just being hurtful. I mean we all make mistakes. Strange to me you can’t just say “Hey, that’s not what I meant”. Ah well.
-
Bank holiday. Need a full business day. Stupid, archaic rule.
-
Define “gives him ammunition” since you insist on carrying on. If multiple people have understood you to mean something other than what you intended it stands to reason that you were not very clear.
-
I mean, I think it’s a pretty clear reading of what you said. What other interpretation of “gives him ammunition” is there? If you meant something different than let this be a lesson to choose your words more carefully, lest you be misunderstood. Hopefully our verbal sparring is a sign of a spirited Everton performance.
-
I would have thought the plan was to sell Mina or Keane before the injuries. Given how they were used so far Keane might have been the one slated to leave.
-
I don’t know how much we would have wanted to throw him in with literally no familiarity with the team at all on Saturday. Would have been nice for today though.
-
When you say it “gives him ammunition” the implication is he needs a reason. You even gave the reason, a lack of success with 4 at the back. If Frank feels like he has to justify his formations to the media or to the supporters then I’d be concerned.
-
He’s the manager though. He doesn’t need to justify his choices to anyone.
-
I think it’s a good move for plenty of clubs, just not ours. Even the unrealized potential that has been his whole career is good enough to come off the bench and make an impact
-
This would be like the Rafa signing. In a vacuum it makes sense. He likely can still do a pretty good job, low cost etc.. But the supporters would hate it and as such give him very little margin for error. That negativity wouldn’t help him or the club. And for that reason..I’m out
-
Ah. Gotcha. I mean he’s a particular type of striker. I can see not wanting him to be the main main but seems like a good option to have for most teams in the league. The Naismith comparison I’ve seen isn’t a bad one.
-
I’m hoping the inconsistency is just him being a young player who was physically slight and so couldn’t always provide that energy for 90 minutes. I’m hoping that is changing as he matures.
