Problem is that it will turn into a legal minefield if it goes to court. The point you have mentioned yourself - not being able to sell players at a profit due to the pandemic - anyone who knows football a little will know this is a huge pile of smelly bullshit but from a legal point of view, they could point to Sancho, Lukaku, Grealish etc or Rodri, De Jong, Felix etc before Covid. Yes I know they don't have any players remotely in the same bracket of the players I have mentioned but from a legal hypothetical point of view it will matter.

Exactly. I am not even sure if those clubs are genuinely interested in signing him. For the price being mentioned he has to be THE BEST midfielder right now in the world. Is he really that good?

Shame they ended their interest in Arnautovic. I was looking forward to the fun....

Yeah agreed, they won't let him go that easily, shame really. If he starts to mention the possibility of leaving they will double, treble his wages to whatever and shut him up.

Then we should stop dicking around and buy the player we are looking to buy. Don't want to spend money to buy that player in the current window? Then don't get surprised if someone else spends that money.

Well lets hope Kevin de Bruyne gets unhappy and fucks off soon.

But there is nothing stopping them cheats from buying Bellingham or whoever AND keeping Silva.....

The same agent Wheeler Dealer Harry would have met a few times in motorway services for a few brown envelopes.....

There won't be any issues now. Just wait until he has a few bad games......

Just read this priceless post in toffeetalk......hahahahaha

Not sure if this is a clever arse kind of a question but regardless, I have no idea of the wage situation right now considering the incomings and outgoings....if there was any increase I expect it to be in line with the increase in revenue.

I am not sure if he likes to be an underdog but I am fairly sure he likes it here more than his Dortmund days where he kept losing his best players to Bayern every year. With us/FSG he does get the players he wants, of course not everytime, but in most of the cases. FSG I think are more about maintaining certain numbers and never break those barriers - e.g. number of players in the squad, £m on wages and not a penny more etc. As fans we obviously think in some cases break that barrier (e.g. a midfielder this summer) and take a bit of risk in one or two transfer windows but perhaps for FSG it's the fundamental principle of never breaking those. I am sure, just like us, they don't want to think about the day Klopp leaves.....

There are fans with optimism at the start of a new season and then there are Everton fans....

Apparently Luis Alberto is on the move again and we are due to get a few millions due to the 30% add on clause.

He may be overrated generally but he made an impact on Saturday
