You're spitting hairs in order to deflect from the actual point which is that net spend is close to 0.

Lots of reasons - one being that several targets turned us down. Not because of us not bidding enough, or not offering enough wages, just the player didn't fancy the move. Currently a problem is that most clubs aren't desperate enough to sell their best player unless they can get a decent replacement - which is what's stopping the Gabbiadini and Kone moves for example. If the right players are available and want to come, could we spend £50m or more tomorrow ? Of course we could.
The obligatory cooling of interest. I'm going for earlier in the day, possibly late afternoonish

I'm not saying we won't sign players mate but the blind optimism of saying we are certain too, is baffling given we have known we need a new striker at least pretty much since the window opened. Regardless of what deals will be done, I wouldn't be betting my house that Everton are certain to sign anyone.
You did suggest all of this at various points....people have short memories, or don't read posts, or just remember the bits they want to.
There is, in my opinion, one person to blame for this (so far) slightly disappointing transfer window*.
Step forward Mr Roberto Martinez. After a blistering first season, he made us irrelevant - if not a laughing stock - for two seasons after that. So unfortunately, despite our new money, we're not on the radar of many people. Walsh, Koeman et al are doing their best to sell a massive vision, but when players/agents look at Everton FC, they see a team that has been in midtable obscurity for the past two seasons.
That wouldn't have mattered so much if we'd been going in for the sort of calibre of players that we've been used to. But the ambition of Moshiri has seen us aim higher, and sadly the hangover of the Martinez era means we're shooting and missing as it stands. If we can get top 4-6 this season, some of the players turning us down this summer will be much more open next summer.
*I say disappointing, I'm personally buzzing with the signings we've actually made to date. Especially Gueye. With players who were awful last year seemingly rejuvinated, we're stronger now than at the start of the window, even without Stones.
