Rather than Henry Onyekuru go out on loan again, why don't we do what Barcelona did with Delafeau and sell at a modest price, with a lower buy back clause inserted in it.

If he does well at another club and gets the permit issue sorted then we can bring the guy back.

All we are doing with keep loaning the player out is running his contract down.

I guess they are hoping he gets the necessary caps for Nigeria so we can finally have him in a blue shirt. At least we won’t be losing money on him.
It doesn’t sit right with me that a club can own a player who cannot play for them. I don’t think we should have been allowed to sign him in the first place.
This should be the rule in general for all clubs in my opinion.
Technically he could have signed his 5 year contract and then never kicked a ball for the 5 years getting paid from us.

{Ed002's Note - That is not how it works. Everton will need to seek an exemption as a "special talent" if they decide they want him still.}

I had thought similar regards him and also Lookman who only has two years remaining.

If he gets the caps then this will give more clout to our special talent application - is that right?

{Ed002's Note - Sure but it is not a way to simply obtain a WP, and Everton has made no effort to make a decision as far as I understand. Henry Onyekuru wants to stay in Turkey but Everton have been stalling and Gala have agreed a move for Ryan Babel. CSKA will offer him a life line - and Everton has no need for yet another LW.}

Cheers. Strangest signing for Everton since David Henson - that one was a strange one involving olimpiacos paying for him with our money - or something like that!
Difference is onyekuru looks a decent player (in Turkey.

{Ed002's Note - I think it is time to cut him loose.}

Sell him and move on.

He looks good enough from the bits I've seen to be fair. If we can sort a permit out then I'd be happy to see him in our league, even if it takes another year before he can play in England.

Sell him.
