No he isn’t when it comes to his Chelsea career, but that could quite easily work in the favour of other suitors, and I can see him ending up at Palace in favour of us for various reasons that we can’t complete with.

Goodison Glory Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 I was about to say he's not in the squad tonight so must be on the move....then realised he's suspended AlbanyNYToffee and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 sorry, but this is ridiculous. Squad is thread bare and we have apparently bid to spend the entire Gordon pot on a single player, who is going to be after pretty good money and is not going to realistically come here. Do we spend that remaining hours of the transfer window trying to get this one through. Every other team we might be negotiating with will will prick up their ears and say 'hello, Everton have money to burn again'!! A Are we really in the market for £40M+ players? However, if we had been negotiating a straight swap with Chelsea - Gordon for Gallagher I would actually bit their hand off.

Loan with option to buy makes the most sense. Still not a striker though, so doesn't really address our main issue.

DCL working hard isn't the issue, it's him being fit. Wiggytop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if we had been negotiating a straight swap with Chelsea - Gordon for Gallagher I would actually bit their hand off. That’s not exactly how it works Rob. We’ve sold Gordon and as he didn’t owe anything in the books the £40m is straight into the profit. If we were to go and buy Gallagher for £40m on a four and a half year deal it costs us £8.9m per year. Buying Gallagher for £40m now wouldn’t use up all of the Gordon money. It would just use up about £10m of it. We don’t have a cash flow problem. We have an accounting problem. The Gordon sale helps us massively. If we did a straight swap for Gallagher and Gordon we wouldn’t be able to buy any other players as the accounting problem wouldn’t have moved.

RuffRob Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 don't get me wrong - would love to see a team built around the likes of Gallagher - but does his signing keep us up in itself? If winger and a goal scorer comes as well then brilliant. I am guessing there was a plan for signings pre Gordan disappearance, so maybe this is purely a January bonus. Making use of the windfall.

StevO Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 A striker, a winger and Gallagher and I’ll be very very happy. More chance of me and you getting a game on Saturday though, Rob. Romey 1878 and RuffRob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I know the old footballing accounting amortization juggling act. Just making making the point that all being equal I would swap Gordon and Gallagher player for player in a heartbeat.

StevO Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 There’s no way we would bid for him without discussing with his agent first. If we have then someone isn’t doing their job properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 Its a difficult position for Chelsea with Gallagher - they are not going to want to sell him to a top 6 rival, and if you maybe add Newcastle to the mix with their new money and extremely fortunate start to the new regime, it now maybe a top 7 of teams with a bona fida shout for a top 4 finish. Some of these big teams miss CL football for 2-3 seasons and their revenues are going to fall off a cliff, but have wage bills that actually dwarfs ours. These teams will not be immune to FFP. You can't stockpile players nowadays. They are going to have to let some players go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 Something I was surprised and a little bit disappointed about was when Lampard was at the helm, we simply didn't end up with a sniff of Cheslea fringe players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badaids Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 If he leaves Chelsea, he'll never agree to come here, and honestly is spunking all the dough we just got for Gordon on one player a good idea? I like him a lot, but I don't see where he's going to fit in in the Dyche system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think we’ll be seeing him here though. Bailey and Shukes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosse Captain Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 He'd be an awesome signing. Reckon he could work off DCL quite nicely. Arriving late in the box, kind of like a Cahill type player. Drop into midfield out of possession etc Cant see it happening tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
