Can't see it, to be honest mate.

Davo is a pretty well respected ITK for Everton, but it's a bit much to think he knows more about this than any other source and nobody else has suggested anything about £50m.

Of course, there's always add ons...

I also read on that site that Barnsley have a 15% sell on clause and Everton trying to get us to pay it....so total cost might be 50mil to Everton and 7-8mil to Barnsley if the rumours are true!
 
And how exactly do we know that he isn't on the right level? He's never played a competitive match for us. People are writing him off based on one performance where he was no worse than the best CB in the league last season. Issue is that we have no patience with defenders. We didn't have patience with Boateng and we didn't have patience with Savic and both players have excelled since. Let's give Denayer a real chance before writing him off.
I'm not writing him off i'm saying he has never kicked a ball for us but everyone treats him like the messiah and saying he is better than what we have which is ridiculous

No one is saying he's the next great CB of world football. What I am saying is let's give him a chance because there isn't 50M+ difference between him and Stones and he could easily be just as good as Stones.

Pep is giving him a chance right now on tour,you didn't get the gist of my original post

And I hope he impresses, I'm focusing more on posters writing him off and claiming he's not 'on the right level' based on such a limited sample. He's proven he's an immensely talented CB and I don't see a world of difference between him and Stones.
 
What's nice to see on that forum is how highly they all rate him. Not a single one of them saying he isn't worth it, they are all gutted he's going and love him.

I don't go on other teams forums but I'm guessing there's a hint of sarcasm there? Haha!

On what are you basing that? how many times have you seen him play,whole games that is

Well i do. In my opinion, Denayer is nowhere near the footballer Stones is. Pep will find it easier to instill defensive
discipline into Stones. He has absolutely no way of giving Stones' natural football talent to Denayer.

I have seen him twice. For Belgium and once for us v Real Madrid. Both times been shit. And he doesn't look very tall. So on that basis he has had his chance and he has failed. Celtic doesn't count and my Turkish barber who is a fanatic says he was just ok over there - not wonderful by Any means.

That's enough research for me. And reading grand old team they are gutted about stones.
 
Stones is worth what someone is willing to pay. If they have told us it will take 50, then we should just pay it if Pep wants him that bad. What I can't stand is when we match the requested amount and then it goes up again. Feel like thats what happened with Bruno Peres and the greedy/poor Italian clubs

That doesn't happen though. You just think it does because you believe shit on the Internet.
 
I'm sure they do - it doesn't normally stop a player being called a **** and shit when it looks like they're leaving.

The odd one is but it is surprisingly fair. One has just said he is the best centre half in the league - that will do for me. A few saying he is shite in the air but big vinnie or the horizontal otter can get over that.
