Asmir Begovic

And what if we say, “2m or no deal.” Everton say “no thanks” and turn around and sign a different keeper. We are left with his crippling wages for another season. It’s a risk we probably can’t afford to take. From reports last Summer, I believe we were desperately trying to offload him from the wage bill but there were no takers. That gives you an idea of just how high his wages are. I’d imagine most viable European sides couldn’t afford him so he’s restricted to Prem interest.

his stock is much higher this summer vs last summer. Champ keeper of the season and very experienced. Shouldn’t be a free transfer.

Like I say though, we don’t have a strong bargaining position here. We clearly can’t afford to have him on the wage bill for another season, so haggling for a fee is probably a risk we can’t afford to take.
 
odd one from his perspective. didn't he want to leave chelsea for first team football?

unless pickford is leaving or gets seriously injured he has no chance of playing outside of the cups.
 
I wouldn't let him go as there's no other better shot stoppers in our price range, doubt he wants to be on the bench either at Everton. Woodman on loan isn't happening and he's not as good anyway and Travers isn't good enough.
 
We start by giving in on this one and we become a soft target for the vultures. Fee or no deal.
We are Loki g to get another keeper in, that looks obvious to me .
Begovic is on big wages. Those wages freed up could be used somewhere else more productively
 
Why is Travers not good enough? He's an international keeper and generally keepers improve with age. Now that Moss has gone Travers might get better coaching with Rob Burch. Still need to get another keeper in though.
