Paddock Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Id say yes and then we can sell gibson... Cus i cant be arsed with him any more That 's not a bad shout to be fair. I really really like Gibson but he's made of glass and we could do without it. I wish he could stay fit I think he's a wonderful player. Song wouldn't come here full stop I don't think. He definitely wont come to get splinters in his arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter H Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 There is only one problem with that. One players wages leaves and 4-6 new players wages go on the books. It's easy saying sell him for 50 million now go and buy 5 players for 10 million to replace him. Even if that player was on 50k a week and you brought 5 players in on 30k a week that is 150k a week so 100k a week more than you were previously playing times that per year then by 5 years and the figures will astound you. Yes but we all agree upon the need to have a bigger squad. And a bigger squad comes with a bigger wage cost. Simples. We need another 5-6 players to really compete with the big 3-4 and play in Europe at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm totally with you on the bigger squad mate but I'm not sure we have the finances to take on another 150k a weeks worth of wages. I don't think our budget would allow it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think our budget would allow it Lets all go out and buy an Everton shirt. Oh wait, None of the money goes to Everton. I think Everton could handle another 100k a week for wages if they had to. It might mean less money for transfers tho. But the whole argument is hypothetical. No-one has offered us 50mil for McCarthy and no-one will. Because he isn't worth 50mil. He is however worth his weight in gold to Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elston Gunnn Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Just want to check something in this rumour-piece. http://www.nsno.co.uk/everton-news/2014/08/rumour-blues-to-sign-song-on-loan/ Specifically, this sentence, the likes of which I read pretty regularly, re numerous teams and players:"Toffees boss Roberto Martinez could be set to make a move to add Song to his squad." The trifecta of "could be," "set to," and "make a move" bespeaks a rumour of a rumour. There's probably an American version -- a rumor of a rumor -- of such obfuscation masquerading as information, but English football writers provide a lofty standard. Any guesstimation as to what percentage of the time managers who "could be set to make a move" actually sign the lad? I'm asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elston Gunnn Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Speak English will ya Ok. Hard cheese, Bob's your uncle, give us a biscuit. More to the point, transfer-window-wise, I expect to feel gutted, chuffed, arsed, and made up. Over the next 48 hours, and probably the next fortnight.
