I recognise Lacina Traore in that pic, who are the flanking wannabe gangstas?

So you're not counting the debt wiped, commercial rejuvenation, money spent towards the stadium, the training facilities, the current ground redevelopment.

The debt is still there; commercial 'rejuvenation'?! - we made £21M from commercial at the last set of accounts; the training facilities came before Moshiri; the ground re-development...Lol.

Great money that Ijj. Intrigued to see who our new big man up front will be.

Not a bloody clue mate. Couldn't even have a guess.

Bet when your missus comes through the door with the weekly shop and starts telling you about the bargains she's got, you cut her off with the plaintive cry of 'WHAT ABOUT THE NET SPEND'!!!!!!!

Well, if she were buying stockings, I might see where @davek 's coming from (no innuendo intended)

We need a poll starting, titled ` Who is the biggest tit` Pogba or Lukaku.... my vote Pogba he is king tit in so many ways

I can see Pogba being a bad influence on Rom, which will be funny as he'll if he goes backwards spending to much time messing about, while Rooney gets his head down and rolls back the years

Would love them to do a "Hoddle and Waddle."

Everything has to balance in the end Dave, it's a business.

The difference now is we have a more progressive accountant at the helm who can and will sanction bolder moves. The most obvious example being that 5 years ago we'd sell Lukaku first, then buy. Now we have the resources to buy before selling him.

We could probably even (just) afford the risk that he may not go? However I am of the opinion that we would not have spent what we have without being pretty sure.

I do still think we will spend more than we sell this window as it goes, but that money is already recouped (and then some) in ~3 years when you look at the increased quality of youth talent we have brought in and those we are still trying to acquire. These assets have higher chance of exponentially increasing in value vs what we've bought in before.

In fact the frugal Moyes era of having to push through youth players due to lack of resources has turned out well for us, as now we are a hugely attractive prospect for quality youth players... not sure we can credit anyone with fore-sight there, just a happy accident.

Billionaires become so by taking the occasional risk, but they don't stick around long by being financially reckless.

I agree with a lot of that mate.

All I ask for is the nonsense to stop about 'everything will change' and 'Moshiri has transformed us'. It's for the birds.

It's the continuation of a well worn model. Even down to the stadium being the facilitator of all other things going forward.

I see nothing in this regime that I didn't see or hear abut when BK first took over and for the first few seasons after before it all went sour: big stadia idea; 'imaginative' borrowing; talk of lucrative sponsorship deals; training ground plans.

Moshiri is using the BK playbook, make no mistake about that.

So what is your suggestion? Ask Mosh to go and instore BK back to the throne. Sack babyface and get El Fraudo back? If you don't see improvement in every aspect I fear you won't enjoy anything Everton do in the future.

[gerryandtheRedhaters]

Don't understand the negativity on Moshri. Does anyone actually believe we would getting a new ground ,signing all these players if it was still Uncle Bill on his own?

Joyce says £90m

Absolutely INABIT ROM

All up front mate, or that including bonuses?

 

[mawders]

OK

Let's buy that big Argie fella at Juve

 

[bring the ghost on]

commercial 'rejuvenation'?! - we made £21M from commercial at the last set of accounts

Just curious - how long do you think it actually takes to improve the commerciality of a football club like Everton?

Suggestion here seems to be that Moshiri should have already done it. You do realise that this means winding back decades of poor business decisions, bad contracts and trying to improve the brand overseas as something attractive to sponsors? This is not something which can happen in 12 months.

 

[hktoffee]

All up front mate, or that including bonuses?

75 upfront 15 easy to achieve add ons. And Rooney worths 10 too that's make up the 100 figure. According to Joyce.

 

[ijjysmith]

All up front mate, or that including bonuses?

Not 100% sure mate but the way I read it was it would have been £100m but they're going to waive any fee for Rooney to make in £90m.
