Why even try to make a final summation when the trial has three weeks left?

I'm not. I'm presenting the evidence we have now. I'm fed up of being told everything is fine and these magic beans will grow in to a beanstalk by people who have no more idea than I do as to what is going on. Everything might be great, everything might be depressing as hell. I'm hoping for the former but experience tells me that everyone bleating on about bedwetters etc... need to examine their own clubs history and look at what is happening now. I hope we sign some brilliant players, but I'm worried that we will sign a bunch of dross. I hope our new owners have a fantastic plan, but I worry that they are a bunch of asset strippers. I don't think that anyone who holds any of these viewpoints is being unreasonable and I don't think that people should be shouted down and patronised. I'll continue to say this when I see it happening.

Peace. [mike drop]

If you believe we're signing no one else then I guess you're right. Add Bolasie to the IN list (regardless of whether you think it's a good buy or not), and that's the Stones money pretty much gone already.

I guess we'll have to wait and see who was right in a couple of weeks.

As I have said in a few posts, I anticipate a £20Mish net spend which, when you take the increase in TV money into account, is zero fresh investment in the playing squad.

Cheers, but I have a solution.

So what is more likely, what @roydo posted or that we're selling Lukaku alongside Stones and spending less than half what we got for them?

People need to get a grip.

You vault me on sept 1st. We sell Lukaku and Stones for a total of about 100 mil and spend ~ 50 mil. That's my prediction.

I also predict that people will then be claiming that we're saving the money for january.

The problem is that a lot of people got carried away with we were going to sign this manager, this world class player, spend loads of money, basically be the new Man City when that was never going to happen. Pretty sure that was never promised either

This is the weirdest critique against the people who are concerned. As if expecting Everton to strengthen during the window somehow equates to delusions of being the new man city.

Fair enough, for the record I predict Lukaku will stay and that our net spend will be around 80 million.

Let the fun commence.

noooooooooooooo

I was being serious ffs

Please disregard @orly everyone

 

[Petit]

We know we are not "New City".. problem is we are turning into a new Sunderland under Roy Keane wasting 80m on average players

I bet you Barkley and Lukaku will have a good talk with their agents in the next couple of days and it will not be about signing a new contract...

With our current squad selling Lukaku could well see us relegated.

So we'll be buying players for about 113 mil in three weeks. This is what you believe. Maybe you're joking.
