Where did I say buy him? He certainly performed better than Rondon has for us.
I'm kind of hopeing that were going to start focusing on bringing in young talent and developing them over the next couple of seasons till the stadium is built.
It looks like to me that the club is just happy to exist till the stadium is built then I'd imagine Moshiri will try to sell us on. Just hope he sells us to someone who actually has a desire to move the club forward and get rid of the wasters and the poor mentality that runs through the club.
You didn't the person I was originally replying to was say we should.
He might be better for us then Rondon but bringing in crap because its better then the abject crap we already have, as we have already proven doesnt work.

Sadly, I think you might be spot on.

Try to sign Dele Alli and end up with Ali Dia instead because he thinks someone must have just made a typo somewhere.

Funny thing is that @Theoneandonly firmly believes that:
A: Ancelotti signed all players last summer (when we know from interviews he requested Allan and James only)
B: Brands is blaming Ancelotti for signing players that he himself signed
C: The board are blaming Ancelotti for contracts that he never negotiated
its an alternate reality lol
Digne only recently extended and must be wondering why hes being asked to negate his own strengths at his peak of 28 years old.
The funny thing is that Nkounkou (and Small before) is also an attacking full back.
Is Benitez going to sign a right back who solely defends? Aaron Wan-Bissaka perhaps?
We may as well sell Digne if Benitez isnt going to play to his strengths.
We would need £50-60mil to sign someone like Pau Torres or Kounde who are destined for top clubs.
Slightly less would get us Tapsoba, Bastoni or Badiashile if we could convince them to join.
Its highly unlikely we could get a like for like quality replacement even if we sold Mina for £40-50mil.
Where we are in reality is that Mina is earning £100k+ a week. Hes injury prone so the £50mil value could drop to £35mil and then you have only 18months ish left on a contract you could say £20mil is the fee.
If we cant get Mina to extend then surely someone would give us £35mil+ for Keane, Holgate and Mina.
If we could bring that in then sign one potential superstar u21 player who has the quality to come in from day one -- like Fofana at Leicester.
Go with them + Godfrey + Branthwaite and have Welch as an emergency 4th choice.
Rebuild with these younger players...
Alternatively, still sell those 3 for £35mil+ and go for Romagnoli, Ginter, Sule on frees.
I am in complete agreement with you.
We need to knuckle down and find a way through. I don’t think changing manager is a realistic option as we don’t have the money for payoffs.
We are a different side when the injured players return and no managed would make a difference right now with the players missing.

Bad to consider Rico & DCL going (would be ~ £120m total, no?), what dross can we offload to free-up purchase?
For me:
Tosun, Sigs & Iwobi+ 2 from Delph, Gbamin, Allan and Gomez (all semi-injured misfits doing the same job).
That creates opportunity for our youth, creates funds, clears negative dross hanging around the squad f***king up our mentality and training.

Fair enough. Is there links to Milan and Fiorentina?
Milan could definitely afford his wages if they thought he was genuine starter material. I think the Q is whether Mina is good enough for a team that wants to be at the business end of a Top 5 league and competing in the CL. I genuinely have my doubts that Mina is truly that level.
Fiorentina is more realistic in terms of ability. But can Fiorentina offer any more than Everton. I'm not sure they can. Wages or sporting wise. The only difference is location and if he'd want to live in Italy v England.

Biggest issue with selling unwanted players on moderate to high wages is that there's very few clubs willing to buy them in the current climate.
Covid has killed the transfer market in Europe. Last summer there was limited signings of +10M in La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1. The big signings still happen to a degree but it's the effect on those mid tier clubs from the Top 5 leagues that's been the biggest. It's those types of club we'd be looking to move the likes of Gomes, Delph, Iwobi, Gbamin on to.
It's not an issue solely for Everton but I think across the board we are seeing clubs struggling to move on players who are surplus to requirements. Might need some inventive deals in term so pay structure and/or loans to get some off the books. Wouldn't be banking on any players outside of DCL or Richarlison bringing in funds that could bring in more than 2-4 decent players. Likes of Digne, Pickford etc. could be flipped for 25-35M but what's the point unless there are loads of bargains to be had elsewhere?

If Mina was fit for 90% of games then he'd be one of the best in the league. The fact that is isnt is solely due to the injuries which hamper consistency.
He could walk into most teams.
Or limp into most teams.
