The reality is Mina and Allan get injured after half an hour in the first leg and are replaced by Keane and Davies. Digne throws his toys out of the pram because Rafael puts Gray on set pieces and this season's team wins 4-1 on aggregate.

He'd already left late last year- was Moshiri/Bill negotiating

It was a condition from Joorabchian for taking Digne to Villa, nobody really wanted him

Three centre midfielders is enough for one season for me! Im not over the moon with davies but I dont mind him as cheap backup.

Id sooner see Gomes, Gbamin, Allan and Doucoure out of the door before Tom. Tom costs what, 2M per year? The four above are costing us near 50M per season and not contributing anything.

One of the sources is Javi Mata, he doesn't make things up- if he says there are talks then it's true.

In FFP / P&S terms signing Gakpo for 40M€ and letting go of Alli (and paying 50% of his wages) leaves us in a better position. Assuming you split that 40M€ fee in real terms as well (3 installments like the Kean deal) then we´d have pretty much the same cash in the bank at the end of the season...

Anthony Gardner, ex player https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Gardner

Let's be honest, selling Dele and signing Gakpo for 40M€ leaves us in a better position financially this year, even paying half of Dele's wages. Dele cost- 5M wages + 10M fee (3M wages during loan- 12M) Gakpo cost- 4M wages + 7M amortisation (11M).

Basically because the outgoings were approaching 150M higher than incomings, so the cost cutting was necessary... It's tough, but the same thing is happening to Leicester, a few mistakes in the transfer market and a bad season and everything falls apart.

We aren't going to have any possession against them anyway, we'll sit deep and try and hit them behind their fullbacks as always. I remember the four man defence last year, it was horrendous. Switched to a 5 and we were always more solid. Just need some patience and a bit of luck whilst the...

@Nymzee Premier league rules: 2 domestic loans at any one time, 4 domestic loans over the length of a season. No rules governing loans from abroad. FIFA rules: max of 8 loans at any one time. So 6 from abroad in addition to 2 domestics.

Yeah you're talking 150k per week instead of 60k/week. So 42 (+add-ons)+ 37.5 wages over 5 years = 80M Can't afford to invest 80M on a player from abroad, especially one that has already gone to another country and been far from a success. Joao Pedro - 25 (+add-ons) + 15= 40. Half the...

Because he doesn't rate him basically... ?

Aye there was a week in May that we could have actually been relegated for a start

And yet O'Rourke has had more exclusives that have turned out to be true about Everton than any other person this summer

We've refused to spend any money on anyone over 25 for the last three windows. Almirón is 28... Maybe we have asked for him on loan as backup, but absolutely no chance we spend money on him.

Probably because Everton are hedging their bets and pursuing multiple targets...

Surely the idea should be buy someone who has a decent chance of being better than DCL in the future...

Lampard said he wanted 'robust' players... Tarkowski and Coady have missed 9 games between them over the last four seasons for example. Gueye is never injured. Etc. Hudson Odoi is the exact opposite- he's a young explosive player that at 22 has already had significant ongoing problems with his...
