HazzaJet 252 Posted September 30, 2020 Happy to spend £20m+ on players with good PL experience, just nervous about signing a young player with 1 season’s worth of PL experience and part of the worst defence in the PL last season..... P.S. - am desperate for the international transfer window to close so Fenerbahce can’t get their hands on Emi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pair him with a good centre back and the whole world will see he isn't one..... Anyway, I thought we were supposed to have "top coaching"? We do have Very good Coaches And they have brought through many good youngsters Godfrey and co But i think you would find it hard to say Ancelotti is not a better Coach / Manager than Farke to take him to the next level Everton looking for a loan to start with which i would turn down If a PL Club or Barcelona Can Pay massive amounts to other clubs they can pay for our players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted September 30, 2020 Definitely some "creative" thinking on their part. I can see how it might seem reasonable from their side, Godfrey gets experience at Prem level with better players around him, if it works out he's worth a lot more. But I'm pretty sure we'd rather give him another year in our team instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've read so many articles about clubs "interested" in our players but no concrete bids. I'd hope we might sell one more of our stars (e.g. Cantwell seems to be the one we'd least miss) and then we really can play hardball. Can't see us accepting any of our stars going out on loans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 519 Posted September 30, 2020 Just reading the Telegraph. £26m if true would be hard to turn down, and Everton would be a good move for him. I pray we re-invest if he goes. Hanley & Klose can't get through a couple of games without injury. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vlad666 203 Posted September 30, 2020 £20 million bid with £6 million in add ones. I think we’ll end up selling for £30 million total. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,358 Posted September 30, 2020 £25m with another £5m on add-ons (and a proper sell-on clause) and we'd be daft not to take it. We already have Gibson on the bench and can bring in a new CB for a lot less than that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,086 Posted September 30, 2020 Godfrey as Will be a Everton player soon good luck to him has not kicked up a fuss Will work under one of the best Managers in the world Up coming team it seems as Ancelotti will not be there unless there is money to be spent Will at least double his wage or more and a good profit for us now we need to go and BUY a really good young centre half with the money over to you Mr Webber 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbit hole 31 Posted September 30, 2020 The deal be reported is totally fair and Ben for his conduct alone deserves the move. Everton would be the right fit for him. Good move, all the best lad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EFC_NO1 7 Posted September 30, 2020 Hi Guys, Hearing we are about to sign Godfrey? Not heard much about him to be honest but a few guys on the Everton forum seem to rate him. Hopefully you'll get good money for him for whatever he's worth. Hopefully you come back up this year to lads, good crowd at Carrow road... bit of a journey but we always have a laugh when we get there. Sorry for Naismith :-) 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midlands Yellow 3,924 Posted September 30, 2020 Could be a Lewis scenario when Liverpool made the offer. Apparently they may be trying to force Chelsea’s hand for who they really want to sign. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for Naismith 🙂 Quick, athletic, very good passer (short and long) and a great attitude. Still needs to improve his positioning and reading of the game at the highest level, but there's every reason to think he will be able to do this with time and experience. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we lose Godfrey, and with Famewo going out on loan, after last years horror story with injuries we'd be bonkers to rely on Hanley & Klose, with just Gibson (is he match fit) and Zimm our only fit central defenders Not another season hoping Tettey and untried Sorenson to play back up please!

He plays the modern way, but can be suspect at times with actual defending, particularly at corners. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
