Probably structured differently or something. More up front and less on clauses. £4.5m to Spurs to help pay for Barkley.
Our squad's too thin and apparently Pochettino's very keen on him. Homegrown, clearly has ability and could add depth, plus he shouldn't be ridiculously priced, as he's only got a year left on his deal.
What I heard was it's 40 million , sandwiched between two 2.5 million add ons ... and that Siggy is desperate to go .
Get much ITK Swansea gossip in Canada mate? I can see how that'd work like, especially with you being Irish
A lot of money but the market is mental and he's a very good player. Everton just need a striker now and they've got a very decent side imo.
You should follow your dad's team provided you firstly have a dad and secondly he follows a football club. Failing that it should be a local team, IMO, but we all have our own reasons for supporting whoever we do (except Matth, obvs).
Not a bad deal in the end if they can get £25m for Barkley and £15m for McCarthy. Be interesting to see how Koeman would line up his strongest 11 attacking side.
Sign of the times I suppose. The transfer market is ****ing warped beyond recognition. But he is a good player and I think Everton have done brilliantly getting Rooney back. He might be knocking on a bit, but he is a top quality proven player.
