c1982 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 £5m for maybe the best player in his position in the PL with 3yrs left on his contract... I'll file this under bullshit! (I have no doubt they are interested though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonButtle Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Why is everyone moaning about the price, if you read the article they are getting away with that because of the Clubs bloody finances as per usual, i posted about this in the matchday thread the other day, it's going to happen as far as i know but hopefully for a bit more than £5m, BK has A LOT to answer for if £5m is the most we are going to get out of Baines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcopaulo Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 we didn't have money before and still got 24m for lescott...no chance he will go for 5m...so let's just wait and see before we all jump on the bk bashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 If we got say £20m (at least what he's worth in current market) for Baines and that £20m meant Dempsey, Pienaar and one from Hoilett/Jarvis/Moses/Zaha/Donovan(contract up in Nov) with Da Silva on-loan if he was to go to man.utd (us sending garbutt/bidwell to a championship club for a season) then I hate to say it but I could entertain a deal. Look at newcastle - the carroll/barton/nolan/enrique (basically their best players when sold) money has put them on the brink of champs league, this with a 'shit' manager and 'shit' chairman... see any parallells? Baines and maybe Jags (I won't put Rodwell's name here just yet) being sold could be a step back to go forward for us if the money was to be re-invested.

There's not a chance in hell that we'll sell him for anywhere near that sort of fee, and the reason for that is Kenwright himself. He knows he'd get lynched by every single Evertonian for sanctioning that sort of deal, and Kenwright is all about what people think of him, so for that reason alone it's never going to happen.

Kenwright/St.David - root cause of the clubs problems... I would love real life to have Scooby Doo style alternative endings!

None of us really have any of the answers, i know what your saying, he would be putting himself out for a public execution at that price, he might be a lot of things, but i don't think he's that stupid, but like marco said, his many mishaps in the past have made it difficult now for him with the fans, and to be fair he only has himself to blame for that. Stopping now, no more BK threads. Edited April 22, 2012 by theprisoner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adziom Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 What I find hilarious is that yesterday, the Mirror wrote that due to Everton's financial state, we might have to sell Baines for 5 million. Today, they link us with a 10 million pound move for Sigurdsson. Obviously, they didn't think that one through very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Robert Elstone hinted that a player will be sold this summer to fund new transfers last month, the reason given was lower attendance levels which lowered income £1.5m based on last year and we've been on television 7 times less than last year (£3.4m less than last year if my sums are correct).

I think he's being a bit of an arse to put the blame partly on the fans when even without the lower attendances we'd have needed to sell to fund our transfer dealings anyway.
