Aaron Cresswell
Forums:
Everton, and clearly Fat Sam, keen on Cresswell, paper talk of a £25M bid. I like the guy but this looks like quite good business. Would be sorry to see him go, hes English, established prem player... just wonder what you guys think?

£25 Million today is the same
£25 Million today is the same as £5 Million a couple of years ago!

Nev is right.
Still, I think that's pretty close to his true valuation. For me he hasn't turned the corner to become a star -- on again off again. Trouble is replacing him, even at £25M.

we need to stop selling our best players. cress well has been good this season under Moyes, he's been asked to play in a new position and he's done it well. we're short on defenders as well. no sale.

I'd go as far s to say hes been underrated this season dicksie. Still keep seeing people slate him, even though hes got more assists then lanzini this season i believe

i agree Fred mate. And he's only going to get better under Moyes who knows how to set up a defence. I can see Pearce guiding him as well, left sided CB yes but he can get forward from the back line and deliver a great cross.

I just haven't seen him deliver lately.
Defending has been reasonably good, but I honestly haven't seen anything special from him this season. Not slating him, and we don't NEED to sell, but I'd hope you're right, Dicksy, that he'll improve under Moyes and Pearce.

yes ashes mate but the thing
yes ashes mate but the thing is he's playing in the centre now (back 3) so you won't see him contributing much other than the odd run out of defence but for the most part defending solidly. its always sad that defenders don't really get credit when they do a good solid job. i think we're used to seeing him racing up and down the wing so we don't think he's contributing as much. not his fault imo, he's in the back 3 now.

That assist for carroll puts Cress on 7 assists for the season now, playing majority of the season at center back. Top assists for a defender in the league.

Yep. Sell for £25 mill and who do we get to replace him? A cheaper player? Or someone who has to start again from scratch and find his feet in a team that sorely needs a bit of stability? We shouldn't be selling until we have a better option in place.

How long has Carroll left on
How long has Carroll left on his contract ,sure Sam would take him ,a bit of a gamble but look at the bargain if he could stay off the table and off the old king lear ,a free and 40 grand pay cut ,no brainer

dont sell
yes he has not been at his best this season but apart from him and rice I would get rid of the rest....like the midfield this area needs a major overhaul and that takes money....reid/ogbonna/Collins/zabaletta/byram all need to be replaced imo

Keep
read all of the above and feel that 25M is not great value for an English defender. I was very impressed with him in his first season, since then he has been a bit up and down. My end of year report is Good but can still expect more. On that basis the board need to lock him in for another 3 / 5 years with a new contract.

It will all be about what he wants ultimately. A move back to merseyside with a more established premiership team. His family wouldn’t probably be against it. Besides ooo arfa is better

I saw in an article on C&H
That Cresswell tops the assists from a defender in the Premiership. This is not just being a defender so I'd like to keep him. If he is sold it needs to be for more than 25mill.

Come up
With a better defender for less than 25 mill. Cresswell is good if you play to his strengths. Something Bilic didnt do, Allardyce did and Moyes not far off
