£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

It's obscene and not Everton, or at least wasn't Everton until this shower turned up.

The worst of it is that we cant even afford being mugged like this.

The sales of two jewels in the crown in one window is unheard of even at this club. It will never be repeated and the concern has to be the money is being frittered away...no matter what you think of the quality being brought in, this club are being taken to the cleaners and have overspent on them by about £35m so far.

I take massive offence at that cavalier approach to finite resources and Moshiri and Koeman will live or die by next season's results.
You have literally no idea about Everton's finances other than what is in your head. Not only do you not know anything, you bend anything that happens in any fashion that suits you at the time. Koeman will have a lot of expectation, but Moshiri will be here for a long time yet.
 
Might be controversial of me to say this but just want peoples thoughts.

We have been critical in the past of clubs like Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd unsettling our players who are on long term contracts, (think Stones, Lescott, Fellaini, Rooney).

Are we becoming like those clubs? Swansea clearly don't want to sell him and now I hear he has refused to go on their pre season tour.

Only clubs with money behave like that. For too long we've had to watch helplessly as the rich clubs blatantly unsettled players of ours they wanted. It's just nice to be on the other end of the stick for a change.

I have some sympathy with this point of view but its dog eat dog these days unfortunately.

There are only a couple of clubs the world over immune to offers for players they would not like to leave, maybe Real Madrid and Barca alone, arguably.

Everyone else has a place in the food chain. We knew Lukaku was going, that we could do little or nothing to stop it, and he's gone now. Same for Swansea in this instance. If it was a Championship team we were buying from nobody would raise an issue yet the loss of a valued player is the same on any team

I think we go about our business well - we don't have a private army of friends in the media openly talking about our targets and nor do our current players engage in any unsettling of peers at other clubs, to my knowledge.

If we behaved like Chelsea in their failed pursuits of Lukaku and Stones, then it would be hugely disappointing and fair to say that we let our standards drop considerably. But we didn't, we haven't, and I am perfectly happy about how we have conducted our business.

Was it Everton when we were nicknamed the 'Mersey Millionaires ' ?
 

You still didn't answer my original question though.

Aye, as I'm wondering how you will fit those midfielders and attackers down on paper with a sub for each...that's what i was alluding to.

Can you show me how that works and i'll show you mine which looks pretty different.
