Everton Transfer Thread 2016

It might if you had 100 million quid to spend.

We have £100 million to spend? Says who?

FWIW a well known local journo is privately saying Koeman is in no hurry and being very particular. Does not want to spend for the sake of it and has actually pulled Moshiri back from 2 big bids because he thinks they are over-valued. Witsel is one where he has said this much, no more.

Their sense is Koeman will move quickly once he has seen full squad including those who went to Euros but may mean a couple more weeks where we may only make an obvious move to replace a player who left.

What journo?

My own view.

Apparently he moved later in the windows at Southampton (wasn't big on transfer deadline days though...)

Whether that was out of necessity of replacing sales at Southampton is another consideration.

People worth nearly 2 billion quid generally have 100m to spend mate.

This thread lately is why we can't have nice things.

A 20th of your total. Still a risk.

I spend about a 20th of everything to my name every time I fill up my car lol

The problem with leaving it late is you then leave it late for anyone to find a replacement. Essentially it means you can only get players other teams are looking to offload which is why there are also bargains to be had.

I does feel a little like nothing has changed.

If they Leave it late I'm done nothing will have changed mate

I didn't say we had 100 million to spend.

Not that it will happen but I'd rather make no signings than waste money as a token effort to appease fans. In saying that I want reinforcements as much as anyone and want them asap.

In an era where £100m buys Paul Pogba alone, our supposed budget isn't as earth shattering as it seems anyway. Man City spent more than that in their initial splurge under Mansour's patronage. I trust the club to get the highest possible fee for Stones but I don't see us spending £100m plus Stones' proceeds. I think our net spend will be more modest.

The biggest dilemma for Koeman will be trying to get the 5-6 players we need spread over the total budget he has available. We may see 1-2 big signings by our standards with a couple of lower-profile/cheaper signings from Europe/South America of a younger age that Koeman thinks could fit the bill like Haller.

So you are saying koeman is lying when he says he has a budget?, something has attracted him to the football club

 

[Callan123]

who we linked with today? Par 41 mil bid for Koulibaly

The media have. Frankly we should have around an extra 50m in TV money to spend so even 100m is just 50m extra however it's looking likely we won't even spend the extra TV money at least not on transfers.

Why is it looking likely?

People really expected koeman to go out and spend massive amounts when he hadn't even evaluated the squad yet? Madness
