doddisalegend Posted 22 June, 2016 Share Posted 22 June, 2016 Unsure on the validity of it: Richard Buxton @RichardBuxton_ Everton have met Wesley Sneijder's release clause, according to reports in Turkey. Fee believed to be €7.5 million (£5.8M) #EFC for a 32 year old....another ceiling smashing signing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more than surprised. At his age and with his fight to get to where he is today I would have thought he'd be a dead cert for a move. Good on Leicester though.

He's in the England team and first name on the team sheet while playing at Leicester. If Leicester have offered him another 30 grand a week he probably felt a move to another club, where he'd have to prove himself again, is a risk he didn't need to take. He's guaranteed 400K a month for 4 years which pretty much sets up for life with the associated risk of a big club move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can they easily afford it though if Kante and Mahrez and half a dozen others ask for it to be matched, can they afford it with no Champions league in future seasons? I remember Leeds gambling on continued Champions League qualification and loosing rather badly! Paying one player a massive salary has knock on effects!

ADutchSaint Posted 23 June, 2016 Share Posted 23 June, 2016 What a waste of money that would be If you can a player like Sneijder for £5M then you should always do that. Worst case scenario he becomes a rotation player but the amount of experience a guy like him brings to a team is worth the money alone. Not to mention, he's still a damn good player.

SuperSAINT Posted 28 June, 2016 Share Posted 28 June, 2016 PALACE BID £31.5M FOR BATSHUAYI He's among the most coveted names of European strikers, but it looks like Crystal Palace are determined on winning the battle to sign Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi, according to Sky sources. Palace have made a bid of €38m and nearly two and a half times more than the £12.8m they paid for Yohan Cabaye, their previous transfer record. Batshuayi was linked heavily with moves to Newcastle and Stoke last January and he has since reportedly been the subject of interest this summer from Tottenham.

As I have said before, my tip for relegation, based on the past two FA cup losers being relegated the following season. Throw in they were total dreck in the back half of the league this year, they COULD lose Bolasie and one or two more, and they have a terrible final two months of fixtures next year. I'll probably be wrong of course, which is fine. Very decent club in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
