If its a choice between Everton and Watford he'd be better off staying put. Everton are getting relegated this season and Watford might go back up.
Evanilson has really good feet and his hold up and link up play looks special, like a young Viduka regen
Indeed, nobody in their right mind would choose Everton over us. Everyone's aware we have a huge project underway. Heck even Botman choose us over Milan...
So (according to SSN sourced) Anthony Gordon has told Everton he wants to go to Chelsea to play CL football. When will these kids learn? They all think it's different for 'them', like they are special. But he'll just spend his life warming the bench and then eventually get loaned out, just like the long line of young prospects before him.
So what's the point in that? How do they gain? Will he improve that much at Everton that he'll then make the Chelsea team? Will he really be sold on down the line for over £60m they are paying for him? Expensive gamble. It's one thing doing it for a cheap youngster who might come good, but £60m? And that still doesn't give him CL football. Just odd.
The Chelsea owners are trying to show the everyone they aren't the typical Yank owners and want to spend cash. Pointless like.
Yeah, crazy, the only ones to gain there are Everton, getting £60m cash and their player back on loan. Yeah, nice one Chelsea!
Does anyone know what the punishment is for smashing the **** out of ffp? Is it a one window or 2 window embargo or is till the finances even up over 3 years again?
Yeah it just reeks of Parker, Sidwell, Scott Sinclair,... blah blah, endless list. Kids who go there lured by the huge wages, and end up never getting a game, being loaned out, then years later resurfacing somewhere like Cardiff or Norwich with their career basically savaged by that big club move.
Not to mention how they **** it up for everyone else. Pulisic, a decent if unspectacular player, on £200k a ****ing week? Who else is going to pay it? So the player has to rot, other teams can’t take him, etc.
Exactly this. He won't come here as we can't pay those wages. So unless Manure splurge on him, his only real options are to sit tight without much game time, or hope for a decent offer from the continent. Even a loan deal for most clubs would need a big wage cut or part funding by Chelsea.
Manure are sniffing around ASM according to French papers,fair enough but for £100m CASH you can have him.
This is what we need as part of the long term plan, sister clubs like Watford are with Udinese (and like the Red Bull clubs and Man City's 'city group' clubs, etc.). It's one way to get around FFP, basically recycling money to inflate 'revenue streams' or.buy/sell at convenient levels, as well as providing means of additional scouting & youth development opportunities, via feeder clubs. Watford sell Kamara to Udinese then loan him back Watford have sold last season’s player of the year Hassane Kamara to their sister club Udinese and then loaned him back. Chairman chief executive Scott Duxbury said of the deal: “This further protects the club at a time when balancing financial wellbeing and retaining a squad to compete at the top end of the Championship are our top priorities. “Taking Rob’s (Edwards – head coach) guidance, we’ll review our options at the end of this season once divisional status is confirmed.”
