Howay 12496 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Will that be the second highest fee for a keeper after Man City's recent purchase? I can't remember how much Buffon was. Unbelievable to spunk that sort of money on him like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffon was £33 million apparently, so Pickford would be the third most expensive goalkeeper of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunning amount for a keeper like, especially a keeper that was in the worst team in the league. Makes you wonder how much someone like Butland would be 'worth' in this market, similar age iirc and he's far better imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepers have been fairly exempt from this sort of thing though, the Buffon fee has been the world record since the late 90's iirc. I agree Sissoko fee was probably more of a joke than this one but midfielders generally go for mental money, as Fulham rejecting £20m for a 26 year old Championship player shows. The Mackems must be buzzing, they'll probably be able to use about £2m of this fee to get themselves a shit player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 They've certainly got a good £10m more than I thought they could get for him. I'd be a bit nervous about spending that type of money on him if I were Everton. Yes he looked good for the mackems last season but I remember Rob Green looking brilliant for QPR (?) a few seasons ago when they got relegated. When you're getting that much to do you're going to end up making some saves just by law of averages. You could argue that without a team of circus performers in front of him, he should do even better but it doesn't always work like that. It'll be interesting to see. Everton must be confident they're going to get a ridiculous amount for Lukaku and Barkley to spunk this much on a keeper though. I think Sunderland have had their eyes out personally.

Andrew 4259 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Ben Arfa has told PSG he wants to leave. Now we could do with a number 10 couldn't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4259 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I'd honestly love it if he came back, loved watching him play and the fury of certain members of our support would be delightful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 He might be 30, but he's only ran as far as a 23 year old across his career so he should be ok for another 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously someone like Ritchie is better suited to Benitez's systems, and he's a good player and was arguably our Player of the season, but he never had me expecting the magical whenever he received the ball like Benny did. I anticipate Ewerk and Gemmill are downing enough gallons of water to sufficiently dowse my chips in piss as I type this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerbarton 24 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Are the takeover rumours delaying business? Should we even be expecting anything this early in the window? I've seen a few bed wetters on Twitter but I'm not panicking yet. Ben Arfa definitely doesn't seem like a Benitez player, I agree, but he is exactly the type of flair player we need. Remember he never successfully played number 10 for us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all it would be a romantic reunion, there's just no chance Ben Arfa will play for us again. 1 minute ago, Rayvin said: Has any significant business been done yet by anyone?

A mate of mine has met Simon Stainrod twice, I've met him once. Stainrod acted as hba's representative/fixer/mentor/go to man for the time hatem was with us. I met him in Den Haag after we'd played a pre season match there in 2012. A lad who was with us asked Stainrod about hatem playing more in the middle for us and Stainrod told us unequivocally that he didn't see himself doing it, whilst in England at any rate. I didn't mention this at the time because my mate suggested it was a private conversation and wasn't for general forum consumption. But it's 5 years on from there now so fuck him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More for good old Hatem than anyone else but I'm willing to excuse anyone whose time here coincided entirely with Pardew being manager for anything basically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
