Does anyone know? Have we actually just loaned Kean to juve for to years with option to buy?
If that's true, what a load of bollocks, we need the money now. And with only option to buy his market value closer to the end of his contract will have all but gone. Jesus Christ, if this is true it's laughable. We need to sell player to raise funds, not loan player who are worth money and still need to buy a back up striker, that makes zero sense.
Hopefully someone can clear this up for me, as if this is true I am incredibly confused to why.

{Ed025's Note - we needed him off the books efc, no one was prepared to stump up the money we were looking for so that was the last resort mate, he does not want to be here and he is not in rafas plans so what else can we do?..

I think the deal is a 2 year loan with an option to buy, which will change to an obligation if certain conditions are met. Deal worth £17 million, but I’d imagine the loan fee will add up to more than what we paid.

We would have recouped a few from PSG last season too. Even if we break even, it’s better to have a bad apple out. Unfortunately, Richy may be going sour too.

Listening to Simon Jordan over the last few weeks. He claims you can use proposed transfer incomings to offset future incomings to please ffp. He’s probably used layman’s terms there to simplify his point. But if that’s the case then wouldn’t that release money Everton actually have that couldn’t be used in a three year period set by ffp?

Well Simon Jordan is talking twoddle.
If the money comes to us in this financial year then it can go on this year's figures. If its a loan with a guaranteed sale then the future fee can be in the clubs financial plans but I wouldn't think it would be any use for P/ S or FFP purposes this financial year. Unless like Liverpool did with the Coutinho money we sell the debt to a third party.
Alternatively it could be 2 seasons with a big loan fee, say 3 million a year and a 17 million sale.
That would free up some money this year.

Kean is a really good example of how Everton football club has been run hopefully that is something that is coming to an end now that we have an experienced, knowledgable and sensible football man at the helm.
It sounds as though we may break even, or make a small loss, if everything pans out perfectly. Meanwhile Liverpool sell solanke, ibe and Co for 20m. We signed a guy who never wanted to play for us, watched him do well on loan and are now loaning him out for 2 of the last 3 years of his contract! If he does badly we'll get him back for a year. If he does well we should break even. If he does really well and fulfils potential he'll be worth at least 3 times what we're committed to selling him for.

I heard the conditions for it becoming an obligation is if Juve qualify for the champions league.

JB…. My understanding was (we be of the Ed’s will confirm) was that we received NO, yes I repeat not a penny! From PSG for last years loan. They merely paid all his wages so he was costing us nothing. If things go like they are we are going to make a loss on the lad plain and simple.
I raised my eyebrows when Roma paid 35mil for TA and could have had MK as a home grown Italian - Maybe Souness words on Sky when we got him weren’t so far from the truth?

{Ed002's Note - It is not really correct and nothing to do with TA.}
