Haiku Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 It was stupid money when we bought Keane and Klaassen for the same price. Even Pickford, while he was conceding more than anyone in the PL at the time. It's a gamble, but that's how transfer business works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Only seen him play a couple of times but he looked really exciting. I’m pretty much over transfer prices and wages now, it’s only ever going to get more ridiculous so I’m past caring. Provided he does the job, couldn’t care less about the costs Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Robertson went for £12m (although I'd say he was undervalued) and had premier league experience. Should start the bidding at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should start the bidding at that. They will likely end all negotiations there and then and sell to spurs or Man United. By all accounts the lad is special - very good and has all the attributes. Starting bid will be £20m. aaron and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisJD Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Question to ask is. At the rate Everton’s transfer business is going in the current era. If we continue to sign 25m highly rated players, how many can we afford to fail v work out. At a younger age profile, the risk is minimised due to sell on value. If he works out, the fee is negligible, but not ideal. If he doesn’t, it slows down the progress of developing the squad. The value can only be compared to the alternatives, because the LB position is a must this window. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atm we'd do well to get rid of Keane, useless lump on mega wages. Wouldn't be surprised if we have to subsidise his wages if he ever moves elsewhere. Tierney is a risk similar to Klassen. £25m is a lot for a player unproven in the league. DavisJD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cornish Steve Posted July 5, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Once our defensive starters are settled (after no longer ignoring youngsters and/or playing others out of position), Keane's confidence will return and he'll justify his fee.

Popular Post StevO Posted July 5, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Keane will be fine lads. No problem with him at all. When Jags, Baines and Coleman were back in the side and play By regular he started to look like he fitted in. He’ll come good this season with the team having a plan and a bit of balance.

Shukes Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Same here, not worried about Keane. He has the ability and just needs a better defence around him, a leader. As far as Tierney.. it is a risk, but we don’t want to turn into a club that stays in the safe zone and only buys proven premier experience that is available... as if it’s available... it’s usually not wanted. If we want to take the next step, then we need to take risks, calculated risks, but risks nonetheless.

Finn balor Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Like Walsh has come out and said today about Pickford. We didn’t pay £30 mill but eventually we might with appearances/clauses etc but he is already worth more than that now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to derail the thread, but you don't have to be a rangers fan to be appalled by that mob's songbook, amongst other things. Anyway, like every year, I hope Everton have a great season ahead. If a deal is struck for Tierney, I just hope you don't pay too much for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 If you think £25m is too much then just look across the park at their Scottish LB, Tierney is as good as him and for me £25m is spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
