Dele is a net gain for us, if for 1 second any clause we had prevented him joining a club I hope We’d rip It up.

I think of some of the wage thieves we’ve had over the years on big money moves.
According to the report a few pages back we have dropped the appearance clauses which IIRC were worth 'up to' £40m (and apparently not affected by him technically being released and the resigned) in favour of a sell-on

So we don't prevent Dele from playing for Everton as soon as they think he is ready but also they can't just sign him up for a few years, watch him smash it again and then sell him for a profit in Jan/Summer

That outside of the boot chipped finish against Arsenal is one of my favourite goals of all time. Such nonchalance, so casual, such disrespect. He was so amazing for a while. It does make you sad. Whatever happens I hope he can find happiness regardless of his football career.

Nonchalance is a level beyond composure, and that play is a perfect example of it.

Edit: I was leaving the gym once and there just happened to be a $20 bill sitting in the bush outside, waiting for me. Look what I found! That's how Dele did that.

This completely lost me. How does this example relate in terms of context?

Not being an arse, just intrigued as i'm completely lost.

Fabregas did say he was to train with them only to get back into shape.

So no guarantees he'll be signing for them.

Incredibly sad. Wish him nothing but the best for his future. I was there the night he came on for Everton and we sung his name like he was still one of us 💙

I can't believe he's only 28, I honestly thought he was much older. Wish him all the best for the future though

I’ll find it hard not to like Everton for a good while now, and wonder if we couldn’t have done more. Dele is one of those players that keep me interested in football.
