Where is this from?

I know dazza in the other said there was negotiation over a 10 million buy option at the end of the loan period but that Palace eventually agreed to 17. If it's 20 million, it sucks.

I think you have pointed out how much will cost. 21m plus wages.

My understanding was it would be a £17m fee (equivalent to €20m Euros).

As long as it isn't an obligation to buy then he has 6 months to prove he is worth whatever Everton have asked for and that he is worth £100k pw. I'm on the fence as it stands given his age, wage and previous PL form and unless he plays out of his skin I think this might just be a short-term thing. Here's hoping he proves me wrong.

His movement up until Southampton was pretty good. He then didn’t get a touch of the ball, apart from skying it over the WH end because, well, we were utter shyte.

He’s only played 2 and a bit games isn’t it?

I’m not sure how much we’ll see of Tosun when Townsend and Schlupp return.
Hodgson has said that he doesn’t plan on playing two up front which leaves one central striker role and Ayew seems to be a better fit for what Hodgson requires from a striker (hard work, first line of defence,
occasional goal).
On the assumption that Ayew and Zaha fill two of the forward positions and Townsend/Schlupp take the third position -as they did earlier in the season - this leaves Tosun competing with Benteke and Wickham for a central role if Hodgson does change his approach.
This assumes Carrasco/???? doesn’t join to complicate matters further!
