"Beat reporter" is a curious phrase, but essentially means a reporter whose "beat" or area is to cover a particular club, and who gets fed info directly by the club.Took me a few seconds to realise you didn’t mean Levy had the baseball bats out.

If (big if) doing this leads to a statement signing like Hakimi or Martinez then thats great.
If it leads to Bremer coming in as well as Lenglet then all good. If its solely Lenglet instead of our supposed top 3 targets then yes i think its underwhelming. Mind you its in Sport which is possibly lower than the Sun so could well be total bollocks.
Just imagine their fansI can’t see any way they sell us Gordon.
Their fans would implode.
If one is keen to be underwhelmed, then yes..... Afterall the chronology of reported interest is:
- Torres (last summer: "no CL/no thanks")
< Enter Conte >
- Bastoni (doesn't want to leave)
- Torres (Lo Celso inspired?) / Ndicka / Bremer
- Lenglet (Fans "Meh")
- Gvardiol (Fans: Jizz)
Lenglet would most likely mean one of two things:
We get 2 CBs or we can't get the guy we want and Conte is backing Davies & Lenglet to tide us over until we can; rather than piss away 40m+ on someone he doesn't really want.
Even I’d feel bad …… be like sorry it’s genuinely nothing personalJust imagine their fans
We take Richarlison and Gordon off them
And they have Dele and Winks from us.
They'll be riots![]()
But they’d be getting Winks in return. There’s no way they can’t get excited about that return!I can’t see any way they sell us Gordon.
Their fans would implode.
It's 10% on any profit above 40 mill iirc. So it makes sense for Everton to get as much as they can, even 50 mill will mean an extra 9 mill for them and just 1 mill to Watford.This Gordon talk is annoying. Stinks of time wasting.
They want winks, we want Richarlison…
They pay 10% to Watford at 40M plus so 39.9M + winks. It all seems so straight forward… (I know it’s not but adding in Gordon seems ridiculous)
Pretty sure I read somewhere that Rich's "book value" is 14m.......
3 questions remain:
- How much profit do they need to beat FFP?
- How much would they target for Rich vs how much they'd want for Gordon....?
Wonder if we can buy for 20 m and a sell on clause?Right footed and very direct - would say he lends himself perfectly to what Conte looks for as a Wing Back
IMO, there's no way is that £100m for signings this window unless we have to pay a huge sum up front for one/some.
That’s the shittest clause. It can’t be that.It's 10% on any profit above 40 mill iirc. So it makes sense for Everton to get as much as they can, even 50 mill will mean an extra 9 mill for them and just 1 mill to Watford.
