Hi Ed, hope you're keeping well. Was just wondering if a clear out is required this summer if you'd be able to provide a list of potential outgoings please. Cheers mate.

{Ed002's Note - Depending on circumstances the ideal would be something like this:
Maarten Stekelenburg (G)
Lewis Gibson (CB) A couple of minor injuries, and game time has dried up so the player has to consider options which include old club Newcastle, Southampton, Brighton and Rangers.
Djibril Sidibe (RB) Player wants out but Everton would like to take up their option but would need the player to be persuaded to stay - Monaco had Milan saying they will take him on a loan to buy in January and they could look again in the summer.
Jonjoe Kenny (RB) Schalke want another loan.
Morgan Schneiderlin (CM)
Gylfi Sigurdsson (AM)
Yannick Bolasie (LW) Sporting wanted to keep him but would prefer another loan if there is an end to the current crisis - this is the result of buying all the LWs in Europe
Cenk Tosun (S)
Oumar Niasse (S)
Sandro Ramirez (S)
Moise Kean (S) I explained in the summer why Moise Kean was sold to Everton and he has the need for regular game time. He is expected to be hawked around Italy and Roma want a loan but would consider an exchange for Cengiz Under - the interest of two other sides seems to have gone.}

Fantastic as always ed. What’s the clubs plans concerning Kenny, will he get a chance next season or do you think it is more likely he’ll be loaned out again? Also, are there any potential suitors for Sigurdsson and Schneiderlin? Cheers again mate.

{Ed002's Note - It will be up to Everton to talk with the player and Schalke. Certainly they would like him back on loan, for hopefully a complete season. The only interest I know of in Schneiderlin but the club is up for sale, needs players sales by June 30 and will change coaches again this season with Marco Giampaolo moving on. I am not aware of interest in Gylfi Sigurdsson at this time.}

While we are on the subject of clear outs, what happens to those players Everton wish to remove, but talk of both parties having to agree, then players can be released.

So the likes of Niasse, Martina and some of the others do not agree to be let go, would these players then be able to go on furlong pay, should the player want to stay the extended time, but the club want shut, or would the club still have to pay wages, until the season ends.

{Ed002's Note - I am not entirely sure what you mean. Everton have a numbe of players who are out of contract this summer like Cuco Martina, Maarten Stekelenburg, Leighton Baines and Oumar Niasse who the club need to decide if they would like to extend to continue to the end of the season on a game-by-game or month-by-month basis - and obviously continue to pay them. If both parties agree then there is no issue, else, as of June 30 they can simply walk away. It is slightly different with Djibril Sidibe where Monaco would also need to agree to an extension. There is no "furlough" pay that is relevant.}

Hit the nail on the head Ed with your reply, should Everton not wish to extend the contracts, was not sure if the fa could force these clubs to keep the players on until the seasons over, or if Everton could release the players, they do not wish to keep in June, I can only see Baines being retained and possibly Stekelenburg, think the rest will have a taxi waiting, come June 30th.
