7-9 million? I wouldn't be expecting THAT much despite his talent. There's a good reason why Everton should go to Italy for new players, and that's because players from Italian football are much cheaper than players from England. The inflated English transfer market is a joke!
I mean, why would we pay (when really we can't afford to) £6-10 million on a player when (1) we can develop our own players and (2) an Italian player of similar talent costs a LOT less. Even lower division clubs will ask ridiculous sums. What a joke!
That said, I wouldn't mind if Everton bought Vanucchi and a striker like Ferrante. We need someone who can do something like 20 goals a year.
