Most clubs can't compete with what Chelsea and City are doing but there will be a lot of decent players coming from their academies as well who just can't get ahead there but may do well elsewhere.

It is hard to buy good players with no money.

I think Southgate is loyal to players and doesn't like taking risks. For these reasons I don't expect Branthwaite will be included for this tournament but will step up after this tournament. From an Everton perspective I would be happy with that.

It looks as if the cull is more ruthless this year than others.

Actually our academy is quite decent. It has helped keep the club afloat in recent seasons. Next season we should see Stanley Mills break through. A premiership player every couple of seasons is very good. Last season we had academy sales with Cannon, Simms and ISS.

I don't think anyone just sits around with Sean Dyche. If Holgate wanted game Time he had an Unusual way of trying to get it. I think he may well be back at Everton next season, it is hard to see any club taking him on.

777 are not going to be our new owners but they will be substantial creditors as they are owed circa 200k. I would hope a deal is already in place for the future ownership of the club. It hasn't come as a shock that 777 could not raise the finance so you would expect that other interested...

I would have said Kilbane had more pace but less football nous than McNeill. McNeill lacks the yard of pace that would put him in the very top player bracket imo. Still great value for 15m.

Jarrad Branthwaite has had a hugely successful season playing alongside Tarkowski. He is still such a young player and at Everton next season he should player nearly every game in league and cup allowing him to get the experience he needs to maybe move to a CL club in the future. He has years...

I think Michael Keane may well want to leave so that he can play every week. However, we may be able to let him go as we are so short of numbers and clearly can't afford to spend money on signing players for positions where we already have cover. Unfortunately a lot of supporters seem to think...

We also have Garner who I think has proven to be excellent value for around 9m , as has McNeill for around 15m. Chermiti is still very much a work in progress but I was impressed with his cameos at the tail end of the season.

It isn't that simple or cheap. We all know that Michael Keane is costing far more per week than we can afford for a reserve player. However, we are not spoilt for choice in the centre half department as it stands. If we loan out Michael Keane as per your suggestion we still have half of his...

Was available but not starting. I think most of us have seen Mateta play, he isn't even close to being as good as DCL. Until we bring some creativity into the team then every striker will struggle to score for Everton. In the circumstances I think DCL does well.

However, our losses for PSR purposes were only a fraction of those losses.

The sales at the start of the accounting period may have an influence on that. We already have about 50m in sales already for year ended June 24 and my reckoning is that our players wage bill should drop by about 15m-20m.

That was when he was at Burnley.

Absolutely true, but I have only read about a loan for Philips not a permanent deal, if there is a decline in value and I agree that there will be then it won't be our loss. In fact a good loan at Everton would help restore the players value.

We had a very good defensive record all seasoit is probably the main reason we are still in the Premiership. I can't understand the logic in attacking the manager about the area of the team that gave the strongest performances during the season

Agreed that it is a risk, but a calculated one. A player at his very prime now who was a regular international before his move to Man City, a player whose performances earned him the move to City is surely worth taking a chance on. I think a full pre season with a manager who rateshim and who...

I think some people here struggle with the concept of not having any money to spend. When Kalvin Philips who cost over 60m is now not good enough to come to Everton on loan that in my opinion is prime delusion.
