no, clearly there are quite a few people who have nothing better to do than sit on here all day fuming and waiting on more woefully inadequate ITK posts from the esk, gogoggogoggo has provided more accurate ITK stuff and been hounded off here.

Say it.
 
The Esk said:
Very reasonable question. Next year we can spend what we spent on wages this year plus £7m + increase in revenues next year.

So yes effectively it is wasted and in fact made worse by the inflated revenue figure of this year which would include the profits from both sales. So selling Rom this year is not a good idea in any sense if we want to increase 2017/18 wages on 2016/17.

Selling Rom this year is the worst of all world's. The only positive is that it would permit us to sell Niasse at a loss this year but that's no consolation.

If Lukaku was insistent on a move, could Everton do a 1year loan to Chelsea (for next to no fee) and have a put option embedded in the deal ie at the end of the loan period EFC has the right (but not obligation)to sell Lukaku to them at say 75million .
Would that defer profit til next year (and thus not create massive 'spare wage capacity') in this year?

NB to protect Chelsea's interests, a simultaneous call option could be granted them.
 
3 or 4?...think we need more.

GK (obviously need a first choice and not able to get one before the start of season).
CB (linked with Lamine Kone)
CM box to box midfielder (?)
LM (linked with Yannick Bolasie)
Playmaker (kind of linked with Juan Mata)
Striker (?)

At least 6 there.

Tried that with Carvalho - hasn't worked.

Carvalho is 24 and reaching his peak. Someone who just recently won the Euros with his country.

Although although it's not relevant regarding Carvalho personally I think it was because we weren't willing to meet their asking price. That makes more sense than a player who had already sent in his ID having a change of heart and thinking we are too small a club.

Given how much we then paid for Gueye would seem to support that theory.

Dont like the sound of that, I have to say.

The evidence of who we are targeting would suggest that we are looking to immediately improve the team with proven players that will see us up the table this season, not young players that would potentially need time to adjust/improve.

Improve to what position? 7th. What good does that do us. We still won't have Europe and our wage bill won't have increased by much.

We are still behind Chelsea, City, Utd, Arseanal, Spurs, Liverpool and probably also Leicester and maybe even West Ham.

If we are going to do it then we need to buy better players. Even if it means we buy over a few years. Can you imagine where we would be if we followed up the season we bought Lukaku, Stones and Deulofeu with two more seasons were we bought 3 top class young players.

Our problem with Martinez was after Rom we didn't have the money to buy another Rom for another 3 years.

Again...we cannot force people to sign on the dotted line. Even if we sign a player like Carvalho or Witsel there is no guarantee that they'd be any good in the Premier League. I think it's very obvious we are going after proven PL players for immediate movement up the table. Which in and of itself will increase our revenue going into next season

I mean...how many people would have thought players like Huth or Morgan would be the starting center backs for the winners of the Premier League?

We want ending if true. I still think he wants a move to a Champions League club and that's why we haven't moved further with that deal.
