alrite everyone and the eds aswell quick question for the eds everton have apperntly put 40 mil pound in for allan from napoli just wondered what you're views are on this transfer and also in my opinion i woudnt pay the 40 mil for one and also he is 29 and probly come with a hefty wage attached but that's just my opinion.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of such an offer and I would doubt it would be acceptable to them. As you say he is no youngster and Everton are not in a great place financially and could use whatever money is available better.}

How as fans do we feel about spending £40 million on a player in the current climate?

I for one would love to see the team compete at top 6 level but that will require quality additions who will cost a fair bit.

I personally feel it’s not the time to be spending this sort of money particularly when so many people suffering financial hardship, losing jobs etc.

Think it’ll be interesting to see the reaction of fans to the first team that spends a decent amount on a player this window.

woudnt even spend anythink me not until we get rid of bang average players who are on high wages problem is we have got and ed 002 has said this on good few occasions moshiris advisors talk to much but just probly speculation with regards to this transfer rumour thanks for that ed 002.

Hey all, hope everyone is keeping safe and well.
It's interesting that once again we are linked with Allan seeing as though there was interest back in Jan. 40 mil is a hefty price though for a 29 y/ o, certainly no resale value in that transfer.
I could be way off the mark here and I'm sure Ed will correct me, but i think this transfer window would be good to start our business later. With the problems of C.V., i imagine it will have an impact on most clubs financially. We may see transfer fees actually lower because clubs need income, and after so many are completed it may create a new player valuation. They soared dramatically a couple of years ago after a couple of crazy money moves and it felt like every player became valued much higher than was typically expected. Maybe this could be the shift that brings valuations back down.
It's only my hypothetical situation of course but there has surely got to be some impact.

{Ed002's Note - In terms of transfer fees, we will still see a few very expensive transfers, you will see players having to stay where they are for another year, you will see efforts to reduce overall costs particularly agent fees - and across mainland Europe you will see even more horse trading than normal.

It should make clubs more responsible. The likes of Barcelona, Marseille, Everton, MIlan, Derby, Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday have serious problems already - others will be joining them. Clubs need to tighten their grip or you will have another Bury - clubs like Hartlepool are already on the edge and one Premier League side is now struggling with major financial issues. Clubs that have FFP problems should see a relaxation this year and should take the opportunity to clean up their act or all they are doing is delaying what could hit them very hard.}

Lets hope so anyway Ed002 its about time clubs took financial responsibility towards how they have let transfers and wages spiral out of control. The Top clubs need to look at how their behaviour has affected the lower tiers of football. It will also be interesting to see how many fans cancel their Sky and BT sports subscriptions during the Fan ban. If the PL games are anything like the Bundersliga behind closed doors then not having a crowd ruins the matches in my opinion. So if i can't see my beloved blues every match I'm certainly not going to pay to watch other teams in such a sterile environment.

{Ed002's Note - There is to be a discussion about moving to a "no debt" position - perhaps over 5 years. You are absolutelt right about the PL clubs making more money available but tehy are not all in agreement. I would not expect any crowds at the game this year - Thursday should see the issue of home stadium/alternate venues/mixture of home and alternate venues resolved.}

ed 002 can you see us spending silly money in the summer again i hope not time get good few players out the door first woudnt even know where to start me if am honest need new gk defence needs sorting midfield central aswell winger hope to god be buy sensible this summer and the club look at decent prospects instead of bang average players on a high wage that there clubs don't want cause there not good enough.

{Ed002's Note - I think that the club need to sort out their problems first. Unless they make significant sales it is unlikely they will have the money.}

thats good enough for me ed 002 with ffp and that and players on high wages surly our objective for this summer is to sell these players rather then buy more.

{Ed002's Note - Clear the decks, add a couple and look at the youngsters.}

Is there any interest in Lorenzo Pellegrini ed? . Read a few things linking us to him and may be a swap possibility with Kean.

{Ed002's Note - Roma want Kean but have no interest in selling Lorenzo Pellegrini (who would be grabbed by Inter or Juventus if he were for sale. Under is a more viable option - or perhaps Justin Kluivert.}

Hoping kean is given a chance, if not which would be the preferred choice out of the two:
Under - predominantly right winger an area we need
Kluivert - left winger/ centre forward

I’ve no knowledge of either player.

Looking at it though - Under would probably make more sense but would kluivert be the easier deal as both him and kean have Raiola as an agent?

Thanks Ed. I think Kean has a lot of growing up to do Gingerdan, I’d like to think he’d realise his potential here but I smell another Balotelli at the moment. If DCL keeps on firing perhaps we should use it as an opportunity to strengthen in other areas with Under, we are drastically short at RW.

Who needs a RW we should just play our 5 LW every game 😂
Why else did we buy them? 🤷🏻‍♂️.
