OrangeKhrush Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 how are Chelsea affording 40m for Gordon on top of the 170m they have dropped excluding any possible offer for Leao as well? FFP is designed to keep the haves in power rotating door of players to keep under financials based on no guarantees. you need to spend to be successful and build a marketable image so FFP really keeps other teams down or they just gamble like Forest have with the likelihood of future tears to come. until Chelsea, Barcelona, City, Juve etc are regulated there is no FFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New FFP rules have been set in place since June, and UEFA are allowing a grace period of 3 years for clubs to meet it. Clubs need to generate 70% of revenue from the total expenditure of transfers and agent fees. Now if we were to spend £200m this year, it wouldn't mean the club would need to generate £140m in revenue. It only takes the amortization of the players' transfer and contract length. So if we signed 4 players all worth £50m and on 4 year contracts, our expenditure for that year would be £50m, and we would need to generate revenue of £35m for that year.

OrangeKhrush Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 It wasn't long ago Chelsea were interested in St Maximin to, we are definitely not in a position that we need to sell any of our core players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Everton could buy 3 solid players for Gordon, that makes a world of difference to them if invested wisely. If I was Lampard I'd be sending the fax/email reply back myself. Chelsea have completely lost their shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reluctant Striker Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 £20m for Chukwuemeka, yet to make an appearance. Not sure Gordon could expect too much more than a few sub appearances? I get they're young players, with potential but are either going to get better than Loftus Cheek? Gilmour? Gallagher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've apparently rejected the touted 50m + 10m bid. I think it's fair to say that the powers that be at both Chelsea and Everton are seeing something that the majority of us don't see.

Waylander Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 For me he was Everton's stand-out player in the relegation run-in. At a guess I would say he would play as an inside left or left sided foward for Chelsea, Mount's current role. I'm assuming he is left footed?

Dave Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I can only assume Everton are rejecting offers at this point because they have no contingency plan to replace him. I know everybody loves a local lad that tries his hardest and has raw attributes to succeed but he seems to have no end product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 24, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted August 24, 2022 I know this is a twitter poll but still, it sticks a pin in the idea that fan dismay would be a factor against selling the lad. 94% in favour of sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeKhrush Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 If everton sell him they may be gambling their premier league status on that. To find a suitable replacement at zero hour without overpaying again will be tough. Holding out to January is a major risk to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeKhrush Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I read a rumour that Everton are interested in Almiron, though our condition is that it is a permanent transfer. They did approach us in June about a move for Almiron so there is some meat on the bone. The only way we sell Almiron is if we are anticipating moves.

Honestly without him and Richarlison that's a lot of their creativity gone. He doesn't really have much in the way of end product, but he is a player that gives them some drive - which was especially noticeable when Everton were seriously lacking in drive last season. I still think it's a weird signing for Chelsea, it's a lot of money for someone pretty undeveloped and unproven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
