dunlopp9987 Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Have seen him a few times for Porto and Colombia, really like the look of him. If it means getting James' wages off the books as well, sign me up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big risk signing players on the back of a break-out tournament but I’d imagine many of these will have been known by our scouting network. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 This lad is the real deal. Thought we needed a right sided player but he’s quality. I hope this gets over the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaidharper Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Looked super lively during the Copa. Feel like this would be a good deal for all parties (Everton, Porto, James, and Diaz). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo 2.0 Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Porto need to sell, so I can see this one happening. There's talks that Jesus Corona will also be leaving for either Sevilla or AC Milan before the window closes too. Luis Diaz is arguably Porto's best player, so whereas I'm not sure we need another winger this would certainly be of the standard that I could get behind. James going the other way makes me sad as I wanted him to make it here and be the player that we all know he can be, but to be honest he's just not been fit enough to justify his salary.

If Diaz is prodominately left winger, who likes to come in and shoot with his right and chips in with a fair goals himself, it would seem logical to me that he would be somebody who would step in to Richarlison's position in the starting 11. If not where does this £30m player start. £30m I didnt think we had? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, although it's pretty obvious that he's unhappy at the club and has been frozen out by Benitez. He has played at Porto before (his first European club) so I think he would be happy to return to his roots and play for them again - not to mention that he would absolutely tear up the Liga NOS, should he still have the desire. 1 hour ago, RuffRob said: If Diaz is prodominately left winger, who likes to come in and shoot with his right and chips in with a fair goals himself, it would seem logical to me that he would be somebody who would step in to Richarlison's position in the starting 11.

And even if it is obligation, wouldn't that money only be available when he's sold, i.e. the end of the loan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right but as I understand it the obligation to buy means the purchase would take place at the end of this season but would allow us to count it towards our books now. Again, speculative so take with a grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say we get £5m for the initial loan of Kean that is equivalent to us signing a £25m player over a 5 yr contract if we’re spreading the payment over the 5 years. It’s my understanding that we could sell a player for say £25m spread out over 5 years and be able to report that as £25m income on this year's balance sheet then do the same when signing someone on the same deal and only have to put £5m each year so technically we’re +£20m in the first year.

RuffRob Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I understand Kean is going, but reports are that it is a loan. But in any case, if there is £30m to now spend, give me one good reason why it would be used to purchase a high quality left side attacking play. I am only guessing, but maybe in the next couple of days we might have an opening in this position. I am open to other suggestions on why we would spend a big chunk of money a left sided attacker?

Not saying it is a good thing, just he looks like a potential quality replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a guy who can slot in as a replacement already in place would be shrewd and would mean we can spend the Richarlison money (assuming he leaves) on lotssss of upgrades elsewhere.

I worked out that his league goals for them over the last two years workout to 12 in basically 38 games worth of playing time which is a nice return. I’ve no knowledge of the rest of his game but there are some very high level finishes in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
