With Rafael, the leagues worst injuries and the worst decisions......without those we would have not been in that situationm. We will also add players.

Connecting all the dots, we could bring someone in tomorrow, be it Broja, Dennis, MGW or whoever. The problem then, is we’d have no money left to buy anyone else as every club this summer seems to want a considerable down payment. We’d be stuck trying to sort out loans with obligations, frees etc to get round FFP and there’s a good chance we wouldn’t get any further players we want. The club appear to be trying to do it the other way around, which seems sensible.
Anyone expecting us to spend £60m odd will be bitterly disappointed, if we had that much to play with we’d of signed someone already. They’re clearly trying to make a little stretch a long way. I’d be surprised if we had more than about £25m to put down immediately.

If Lampard is looking at any of the youngsters at Chelsea he's worked with before we'll have to wait until they have finished preseason before Tuchel decides who he wants to keep. So it'll be a last minute job.
If we buy a right back, then our budget must be quite substantial, because we barely have a midfield, and we need another forward.
We do at least have two right backs.

No one 'player' inspired our survival mate, the supporters giving them collectively a huge kick did that.
Richy scored some goals, Pickford played out if his skin and then we had some players putting in massive amounts of effort - Gordon, Iwobi to name two. And DCL returned to fitness just in the nick of time.

I see where you’re coming from and I would 100% take dest but their wages would be extortionate and we rlly cannot spend much this window
Plus I think depay is just another klaasen who can’t produce in an average team
These are the same people who are baffled that itks never appear on the forum and then stage an inquestion when one makes themselves available

If Frank does not get substantial funds for players, I think he'll walk and I couldn't blame him. We miraculously avoided relegation last year, up to now and I'm fizzed off about this we have brought in one defenderon a free transfer, better than what we've got, yes I think so. Hoping Patterson is ready to start the season, because I feel Coleman is finished we have sold our best player, not a hint of a replacement, all we hear is ffp problems and for a team that survived by the skin of out teeth, that doesn't score enough goals, then that in my book makes us relegation favourites. Anyone thinking different is deluded.
Crazy take.
Last summer Benitez came in and spend all day on training and every press conference talking about players not being good enough. That Everton did not have the players to play good offensive football.
After a few losses the players started believing him. Stopped trying. Stopped showing for the ball. Confidence were rock bottom. One win in 14 league matches.
It would always be a struggle for the man replacing Benitez. The squad were broken. Lampard tried. He tried to play offensive football. He tried to implement high press. Often it was OK, but the team was unfortunate. Punished for every mistake they did. And we witnessed a few nasty collective collapses.
Lampard had to adjust. Be more pragmatic. Due to the squad and the lack of confidence, but also because of all the injuries. Changes in both personnel and formation for every single match. Also during matches. Tactics and formation was often dictated by what players were available. With several players having to play out of position.
Things were not great the second half of the season. Still, Everton took the same amount of points in the league after Lampard came in as Manchester United did. They took one more point than a hyped Villa team that spent a ton of money on Coutinho and Digne. More points than Wolves. More points than West Ham. (yes, Everton had a couple of extra matches, but still...)
If we can get confidence back in the squad, see a normal amount of injuries and spend time this summer to develop a way to play and an identity, par for the squad (as of today) is probably to be in a fight for top 10. 50 points are well within reach.
At least half of the squad had the worst season of their carrier last season. We should not expect them to be as poor next season. And if they are, the players are not the issue. If players cant show their potential, getting new players in wont solve anything.
As for excluding unwanted players from the squad, that cant be done without ruining their market value. It will always be tough to find a new club for certain players, but it will be a lot tougher to get rid of players without a preseason. A player such as Andre Gomes is not likely to move on before late in the transfer window. Excluding him from the first team now is likely to cost the club millions.

Excuse my naivety because I don’t really pay to much attention to the finances. Isn’t the rules set over a 3 year period? and didn’t that 3 year period end on the 1st of July? meaning we have now got another 3 year period to spend again?
Big Oils ridiculousness transcends any mere mortal forum, that nut job should set up their own ‘only fans’ account.
