Let's be honest Bri, if we take emotion and the fact we all love the lad out of the equation, £18 million plus is a great fee for the lad.

Had we signed someone proven earlier we'd maybe be saying, like we did with Henderson, there's no sense knocking it back.

He's not worth £18 million plus add ins.

If the 30% sell on clause is true then it's an awful deal in this climate mate. only 7.6m profit, You've got to factor inflated prices too. Meaning true profit would only be 3 or 4m. Not worth it imo.

Always knew he wasn't going anywhere ;). It's a blag for a new contract, always has been.
 
I never believed he would leave anyway. I think that photo in Liverpool is what got alot of people worried. But he loves the fans and his mate Kaboul! Why would he want to leave...if we gave him a good pay rise especially!

You know one thing in all this, Everton is a very small step up indeed isn't it?

Hardly ripping trees up last few years. Great gaffer appointment and a few quid now but that don't always work.

I think alone absolutely deserves a new deal, a few have mentioned it but it's not just him it's the value of a solid, understanding partnership.

Agree, the Chelsea interest may be a head turner if there's anything in that. As would the 70/80k a week from Everton if we don't offer it!
 
It's just about time that we stuck our heads up, realised where we have been going wrong and decided to have a go in the league by investing properly in the Squad. Keeping Kone and spending 30/40M on 2 or 3 quality additions would improve is massively. The amount of 'squad players' we have utilised over the past few seasons is ridiculous. Now is the time for quality over quantity IMO.
