The tapping up tax.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The backing out of deals tax to then go for a cheaper Southampton player tax

This is an idiotic fee.

yeah cos 50mil for stones was reasonable right?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sure was, look at the prices City were paying for average players. It's not the price that Sunderland demanded.....it's the price Everton are willing to pay that is crazy. Luckily Liverpool made a mistake and avoided overpaying for VVD
----------------------------------------------------------------------
VVD is worth between 50-60 though since he's one of the best and most complete cb's in the world, a rare thing. And he has the potential to be the best.
Speaking of overpaying, I read Everton will most likely seal a deal with Ajax for Klaassen that should cost around 30m

Standard homegrown tax unfortunately but both their existing keepers are shiiite
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Robles has everything a good keeper needs, apart from consistency.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So a big issue then?! Admittedly he could be a long-term option for you but I would have thought you'd go for Begovic as he's also homegrown if that was part of the thinking?

I would guess he has been seen as a long term prospect with a view on him being here for 10 years or sold to Liverpool for a massive fee after being tapped up

Considering tapping up is rife nowadays, how blatantly did they do it to get grassed up?

Just as you ruined this Pickford thread

Wouldn't get too wound up by the fee. Its 22m which is a lot granted but he's young and the club are obviously convinced he can realise his potential. If he is a success Everton will gladly pay the extra.

Could be a good FF option
