just seems wild that we wouldnt include that in the terms, unless we agreed a really low fee and % of wages but i have no idea what we agreed to pay

Exactly. I’d have expected that from any competent business. It was fairly obvious what the risk was with this deal!

They'll reach some agreement and he'll go back. It's just posturing.

You'd imagine so.

I'd love Dewsbury Hall tho just based on his stellar champo season.

Happy to take anyone with a working pair of legs and can pass. The bar is THAT low!

It is very Everton to keep a crocked player who is taking up a loan slot, instead of returning to sender and loaning in a replacement who can at least stand up and maybe even run a little.

Surely Chelsea need to just take him back and deal with their injured asset.

The deal was that Chelsea would pay his wages in full until he was fit to play and Everton would pay once fit and able to play, we can send him back if we pay his wages untill the end of the loan period.

“It is understood Chelsea agreed to cover the Albania international’s wages while he was out with the achilles problem,” says Hunter.

“Because [his injury] is unrelated to the achilles problem, Chelsea want Everton to pay the remaining cost of the loan before terminating the deal.”

Maybe the loan deal doesn't allow that?

You have to hope that the budget is there for us to do that and then cover another loan to replace him.

Can’t they just sell the staff car park to themselves to cover costs?

Or we just buy their car park, it’d be more use than Broja.

Is it really unrelated from the achilles? If he's not out for months with that issue, he's probably not getting this other injury. Impossible to know though.

But we don’t need somewhere to park the bus any more now that Dyche has gone, do we?

What’s his wages though? 100k?? Not that much to get rid of the loan, surely

Say it was 100k (might be less ?) that would be about £1.9 million from today, try to negotiate and maybe pay a million to get rid.

P.s Quick google and he’s not on anything near 100k, showing between 40 and 78k
