Can definitely see that happening, would make perfect sense after releasing him.

That’s some spin on his earlier interview

Zero outlay. Less wages than he was on. Less injury prone than the other 2 porcelain dolls we have.
Although, he's very injury prone!

He’s a bit of a weirdo.
Pretends he’s involved in the Rangers casual scene on Twitter.

Apart from the fact it would be a step backwards…he’d need the equivalent of a Pre-season to get up to speed

The financial situation if we beat PSV changes everything.

Not really. The only known guaranteed money of the Champs league is the group entry fee of £13.2m. If we fall to the Europa it's £3m. Add in the £4.2m parachute payment along with gate receipts, tv and other income from the two qualifiers and it must be somewhere about £10m at the same stage so not a massive difference. The TV money between the two is also very similar. The bigger income in the CL is down to win and draw bonuses along with progressing from the groups but none of that is guaranteed. So after the PSV game, the difference at that point between the two will be around £3-3.5m.

Saw a few different reports but I think you are right.
It isn't the mega money game that it will be built up to be.
The difference between the guaranteed money is between 5-10m.
We could of course make that in the Europa by getting a few wins and making the last 16.

RTV? Completed it mate!
Think it’s over the £10m mate, and that was based on the Dhims being so bad - highly likely, but you never know - that they don’t drop down into the EL. If we end up in the EL we can close the gap with a decent run and a few wins. Unfortunately, if they too drop to the EL they might do likewise, so the gap wouldn’t close.

Clearest example yet. It’s not a £40m loss but assuming we do better than 2 wins, 1 draw and get through (and they don’t), it’s still a difference of at least £15m.
Plus the 5m parachute payment if we don't make the CL

That's not what that says is it?
Is that not assuming two wins one draw in all scenarios? In reality, we are much more likely to win/draw in Europa League than CL.

Evander feels like the sort of player we’ve probably targeted if we manage to get through these CL qualifiers.

A 34 year old, injury prone centre half - who's not had a pre season.
Yeah sounds like a great idea.

What’s their operating costs in comparison?
Isn’t their wage bill a lot higher or are we tht close now?
Win the league this year and try see them qualify I seriously doubt it

Yeah, which is even more annoying after chucking a 2-1 lead other night leaving us right up against it

Still feel regardless of next week that Evander could be a proper marquee but affordable signing. He's someone I've banged on about on here for yonks. I genuinely feel he's gettable for us it's whether the board want to show real ambition with it.

RTV? Completed it mate!
Having read the Twitter thread when it appeared I’m sure the originator confirmed the 5 million Euro parachute payment was included in the EL figure.

They want €10m for him I just can’t see the board splashing that money unfortunately.

People who pretend to be casuals are even more tragic than real casuals, and that's saying something

Balogun has said in the past he wants to retire in Germany and is probably holding out for a Bundesliga team coming in

Should have said, the difference between ECL and EL for us is even less based on that. Won’t stop the hysterics.

I feel with what we've brought in money wise from sales and Europa run, and guaranteed Europa group at minimum again, 10m Euros for a player of his calibre is more than value for money and affordable for us.

Because he should never,ever have been allowed to leave.
If you had been watching carefully,you would have seen,that the big guy was our best CB.

Learn the art of loss, then grow a set. Then don't.
The squad is majorly bloated.. I count 31.
McLaughlin, McGregor, Mcrorie
Tav, Zukowski
Barisic, Yilmaz
Goldson, Davies, Souttar, King, Helander, Katic
Lundstram, Jack, Davis, Sands, Kamara, Mcann, Kelly
Matondo, Wright
Tiliman, Arfield, Lawrence, Lowry, Hagi
Kent, Sakala
Morelos, Colak, Roofe
The balance just doesn't seem right imo..
- We have 1 realible CB.
- LB could be an issue depending on how good Yilamz is and how quickly he settles.
- We have 5 CMs who all effectively do the same job.. far too one dimensional.
- We're overloaded with No10s.
- Lowry & Mcann have no chance of seeing much first team football this season which is criminal.
I don't see much forward planning in that squad at all.

All about opinions I guess,I certainly felt most comfortable when he was at the heart of defense.

He absolutely wasn't our best centre back. He has gotten better with each passing day since he left because people are not wanting to give our new centre backs a slight fucking chance and completely ignoring the many shaky performances Balogun had

I'm thinking we need four strikers.
We have Morelos and Colak and at the moment Roofe, but when he's fit he'll probably go for a couple of months before being injured.
We need another.

We need four strikers for one place?
That would be a stunning sales pitch to bring someone in to be third or fourth choice. Well, someone worth signing that is.
You don't see much forward planning?
McGregor, Davis, Arfield are all here for a year to help others settle.
Matondo and Yilmaz add to the sellable assets if they hit their potential. Tillman could be the same if he signs permanently.
Tavernier, Goldson, Davies, Lawrence, Lundstram, Jack and Roofe are in their prime years in a traditional sense. Some of them will still be with us years from now.
Hagi, Kamara, Morelos and Kent are the main sellable assets just now. On top of those listed above, youngsters like King, Lowry, Devine and McCann have a chance of adding to that.
Katic and Kelly will leave.
The likes of Barisic and Helander are likely to be moved on in time to make space for upcoming youths/signings.
We have a good mix of youth, experience and players in their prime, along with a number of players who could make us serious money. From an overall squad perspective, I think we're in a very good place.
