The Final Day - Transfer Discussion Thread

there we go, now chill.

2.5 year deal so no issue there

Ok so he plays say 16 games this season, then Everton have opportunity to sell him in summer?

Absolutely no way Levy signs that deal off.

Joe Willock and Dominic Solanke have been going for more than £20m. Dele hasn't worked out here over the last couple seasons but he's HG, experienced at the higest level, and in the right setup could still be a very good Prem player. He's also incredibly well-known and marketable.

Anyone arguing that free + £10m is even vaguely acceptable is deluding themselves I think.

Solanke was sold pre-covid, Willock was an in demand young player. Dele is 25, has been well below par for years and nobody has wanted to buy him. If we'd held out for £20mil+ we'd just have paid his salary until 2024 when he left for free. Simple as that

Because it could impact our spending budget?

Come on now, none of us are privvy to knowing what our budget is and the fundamental point in selling a player like Dele is going to be the wages saved.

I was upset over Dele leaving, then I remembered he keeps making himself look like a cat on Twattoc, and I am over it.

 

[Spud82]

Good luck to Dele...he was never really the "La Joya" he could have been

 

[PCozzie]

Will Everton not be playing any games beyond this season then?

Not my thinking, but as others have said there is the possibility, in theory, that Dele could play those 18 games for Everton and then be sold by Everton for (eg) £20m in the summer. They wouldn't then have to pay us a penny, and would have had 6 months of football and make a nice little profit.

In reality, that's not going to happen.

I hope he's right but Alex Crook is absolutely useless.

 

[YB123]

Its Crook. It means we dont get £10m & there are no add ons.

It would be trivially easy to add a clause to the contract entitling us to the proceeds if he were to be sold before triggering the fee. Tweets from journos will not include all of the relevant terms of the deal.

Personally think we've been lucky to get 10mil for Dele if it's true. He hasn't performed anywhere near a 10mil player if people want to be honest. 10mil and is wage gone and a hp space opened is decent but that's just my feeling.

I mean 10m is like an upper level championship player considering age and whatnot. Obvs we don't know the details but absolutely a strange fee. Look at lingard for example, Stock was low, went out on loan now Man utdare asking more than 10m just to loan him out.

 

[mr ashley]

Wow quite impressive if we’ve managed to clear so many unwanted players from the books.
that’s new and refreshing.
let’s see what the final few hours bring

 

[Rob]

Someone give me an update, been in a meeting.

 

[absolute bobbins]

So would spending millions on wages for him to sit there with Conte not putting him in a squad, because nobody would give us the £30m or whatever it might be. He's only worth what someone will pay, and the rest of the time, it's money directly down the pan as he wouldn't have been played, isn't it?

I'm not talking about Dele, that was not the question that was posed.

Dele off the books for £10 million after 20 games is a good deal, especially if Conte didn't want him at the club.

Like I've said elsewhere, I loved Dele, he's done some great things for Spurs and has earned a very good chuck of what we've paid him and more than repaid his transfer fee over the years. It's just time for some other set of fans to love him.

 

[leemason2302]

Im more concerned about having no one on the bench than how much a player has left for.

Boris? Is that you?

We’re not going to allow for that sort of situation are we?

They’ve obviously worked on the cosmetics of this deal to help them structure it. I doubt we’ll be left too badly off. Frankly we needed rid, it is what it is

Dele Everton, tanguy gone and there’s the roundup

Lots of bedwetting...that's all

Ndombele gone and we might aswell be paying Everton to take Dele if Matt Law is to be believed. Romano has here we go'd dele.
