Why do people keep saying Honda will pay his own wages in Shirt sales? We're with Kitbag so it doesn't matter how many we sell!
Believable7
Unbelievable2
But what it will do is push the club brand right into the heart of asia he is a massive player over there why do u think the mancs always have an asian player in there team.

What does the kitbag deal do for us. how do we benefit from it {Ed025's Note - its guaranteed income ray, and does not depend on volume of kits sold..
Agree0
Disagree0
Ray if we sold 0 shirts we still get the same income, it takes pressure off the club not just in terms of guranteed revenue but also reduces costs of having in house marketing for kits etc.
However what Honda would do is get our name out there. Honda is a bit of a pin up boy in Japan and we would instantly become a very popular team in Japan. It is like here in Sweden, wherever Zlatan is playing you see the kits everywhere, Stockholm is awash with kids in PSG kits
Svenny
Agree0
Disagree0
It was the right deal at the time, as we were losing money on our merchandising. But when you put it into context, £3m a year, with other premier league clubs it's a disgrace. West Brom get around £4m, Villa £15m and the DarkSide get around £25m.

Wow 2 major bits of news coming out we have made contact with two clubs regarding transfers and new site for stadium I can confirm its Stanley park very raw stages at mo but close to agreeing land as the chosen spot but obviously stadium plans will need to be looked and all other aspects so a 5 year plan would seem right by the time site plans and applications are sorted and given go ahead and build its a long process but hopefully can pull it off
Believable5
Unbelievable9
It will never be stanley park, the reds couldn't do it so the coincil would never let us have it, liverpool coincil are all red
Agree0
Disagree0
The council are that red they bought our training ground and are renting it to us for half the price our previus landlords were. we currently don't have funding for new ground so its all talk anyway
Agree0
Disagree0
Liverpool only ceased planning after decideing the cost for them was not viable, the council had given them the space. i'm scepticle that it is that site though due to the proximity of Anfield and also that would greatly reduce parking spaces on mathdays for both clubs.
Agree0

Bk the great showman tells us all what we want to hear so we can dream for a couple of days before we relise it was an act and nothing is going to change {Ed025's Note - sigh..

ed,
Just curious what your thoughts are on this bit of info in the media lately.
Doctor Marwan Koukash is saying he wants to buy a premier league football club.
He went to John Moores Uni as a student and went on to teach there as well.
Lives in Rainford and all his business is based in Liverpool.
Have you heard anything ed?
It all seems to add up but you know yourself we have been here before.

Proves Bill does have a seance of humour!
Agree0

Well deserved. a genius with the ball at his feet. maybe our best signing ever. totally underrated.
Agree0
Disagree0
How can he deserve an increase of 32k per week
Agree0
Disagree0
I would rather he is released.
Agree0
Disagree0
Played well at chelsea in his position, we have a manager now who will play people in there correct positions unlike moyes who persisted with playing him on the wing when every body could clearly see he was no winger
woodsyefc
Agree0

Barcelona have made an inquiry for him 50-60m region and apparently he wants 110k a week. imagine

Plays well when actually played in his position ie. against chelski, moyes always played him out of position, he'll come good! remember he scored against the reds at goodison

Hearing Kone could be done deal as early as the weekend plus a bid of 3.5 million accepted for Chung young lee of Bolton wanderes don't know how true this is but lee is better than what we have had come off the bench for last few years and will be great squad player with Honda coming in to if bid is accepted I am optimistic to see what our squad is come September.
Believable6
Unbelievable7
Mad as it sounds i'd love chung yung lee to come to everton, trickery, creative, decent age, prem experience, goals, cheap and boosts our profile in korea, him and honda will do lovely, both cheap creative and can run for days on end while boosting our clubs name in asia
Agree0

Chung Young Lee! I seriously hope not. I have a friend who is a season ticket holder at the Reebok and the rumour was that Bolton were offering a bribe for anybody to take him!

No no no no no no this is not progress wake up everton. invest billy boy and maybe you might just might acquire some real evertionans as friends.

Everton bid 7m for Honda
Believable7
Unbelievable13
7 mn for a player with 6 mths to go on his contract. Doubt it. Hope we get him but we haven't bid 7 mn
Agree0
Disagree0
Thought he was on a free!
Agree0
Disagree0
Lots of italian sites are reporting this its €7m which is different to £7m.
Agree0
Disagree0
Apparently report a 6m bid has been made that's at reports suggest. In Italy
Agree0
Disagree0
Contract runs out in January. So he will cost money now.
Agree0
Disagree0
Will be free in December when the Russian season ends. that's when their contracts run out not like ours on July 1st.
RickTee
Agree0
Disagree0
He's free in jan but we want him now.
Agree0
Disagree0
If we want him now, we will have to pay a fee but it won't be 6-7m
Agree0
Disagree0
If AC Milan are in for him then we have no chance i'm affraid guys.
Cheeks
Agree0
Disagree0
I heard 7 million euros but still that's like 6.8 million pound, i'd like to see us pay it, the reason champions league clubs want him is because he's a good player who can run like forest gump, yet shirt sales in japan alone basically pay the guys wages before he's even helped us on the pitch
Agree0

You heard it first here : Leroy Fer is returning next week for his second medical, fingers crossed there are no hiccups this time round.
Believable11
Unbelievable11
'You heard it here first'. We've heard that 1000 time already, and what's the point in claiming to be the source of wisdom if you don't leave your name?
Agree0
Disagree0
Nothing wrong with his knee in January. that's FROM HIM!.
It was said that every pen bill tried to use to sign the paperwork, had no ink. and the clock ticked around.
I'm going to table a question tonight.
Which I very much doubt will get aired.
"Is it true, that with the LF transfer in January, Barclays Bank Refused to put forward the total amount for the funding of the transfer, and insisted that Everton put up 50% of the transfer cost there and then, themselves, and not rely on the season ticket sales and or money from sky later in the year?"
Agree0
Disagree0
There was no issue first time, it was a simple case of we didn't have the money for him and we only bid for him as a precaution for fellaini leaving, he's an okay player but nothing special, if we hadnt bid in january nobody would want him now, ofc if he comes then hopefully he will prove me completely wrong but from what I've seen i'm not too impressed
Agree0
Disagree0
It was there paperwork that was not done in time
Agree0
Disagree0
This "conspiracy theory" stuff is getting old.
The paper work was an issue last summer with the loan because Twente wanted to sell for the cash then. The knee was an issue that wouldn't normally stop a transfer but would lead to a bit more tinkering with offers and there wasn't time. The only question is whether Martinez wants him, and only he can answer that.

Great reply ab
Agree0

First of all he is a striker that scored more than any of our strikers did in a side that got relegated and it seems like he wants to play for us you lot have to get real we can't afford the 20 million pound striker we all want I think he will score a lot of goals for us

Martínez has not yet had a chance to meet and evaluate the squad, but apparently has 5 names of his shortlist already:
Mohamed Salah
Sebastian Giovinco
Gerard Deulofeu (Loan)
Mehdi Benatia
Jordi Amat
From my uncle-in-law who lived in Martínez's street before he bid farewell a few weeks ago for an apartment in Liverpool City Centre. Take it with a pinch of salt of course, but if this is really the quality of players we're aiming for I'm really excited about 2013-14.
Believable3
Unbelievable9
Pretty sure martinez lives around hale/alderley edge, where some everton players live, I doubt he would move, same distance from there to finch farm/goodison as it is to the dw
Agree0

Don't know any of them players, is this a wind up?
Agree0

I would take Giovinco in a heatbeat, quality player though unfortunately didn't get enough starts for Juve last season.

Martinez lives in dalton, nextdoor to my mate. His house is having work done on it. So this is rubbish
Agree0

26 Jun 2013 08:41:53
Giovinco! Haha! Trust me if they transfer listed him there would be a host of top european clubs after him and deloufu is behing hyped at barca and from what I've seen of him he is iniesta with pace doubt we would get him while your in there you may aswell throw in vidal and chiellini or maybe even pirlo
Agree0
Disagree0
I would take all them players in a heartbeat, shame we couldn't afford them all.
Agree0
Disagree0
Martinez lives in Parbold and is not moving anywhere I pass his house every day going to work and he is still living there and no for sale signs outside
Why move really nice house, nice area not far to travel to Liverpool
Agree0
Disagree0
This is actually a really believable list of players. These players suit Martinez's style of play. I think this list will be mixed wth some of the most linked players, such as fer.
Agree0
Disagree0
Martinez lives in Parbold and only bought his new house a few months ago so I doubt he has moved from a massive house in the country to a flat in town!
Agree0
Disagree0
Jordi amat and the loan of gerard deulofeu comes up a lot for some reason, jordi amat i'd take straight away but delofeu still hasn't come through at barca as they think he is too lightweight but they hype his technical ability, like real madrid did with sergio canales but he moved to valencia as he didn't get any stronger so deulofeu may come on loan who knows
Agree0
Disagree0
Martinez lives in Hilldale actually just outside Parbold. Dave Whelan lives in Parbold aswell
Agree0
