Despite your skewed figures, we're sitting at a current negative spend. There's a ton out on loan who will go out perm. There's 110 - 120 coming in for Rom amd Ross. Say 30m more for others like Niasse, cleverley 8m confirmed, Deleuofeu, Mccarthy still might go, Leandro, McGeady, Tarashaj, Mcaleny, Joel, Funes, and perhaps others I'm missing. We could easily bring in 150m +.

We're already down about 20m. So that would be -170m in 18 months. Not to mention millions saved on wages from the culling which haven't been invested in rewarding our better players. But who cares cause Rooney will come on a free.

Phenomenal.

My figures aren't skewed mate. Niasse was bought before Moshiri came. Ditto Funes Mori. You name a whole list of players who we MIGHT sell to raise money. MIGHT. We also MIGHT spend a load of money on new players (in all likelihood we will).

The actual facts show that, as things currently stand, under Moshiri, we have a positive net spend of £25.6m. This is £17.6m if you include the Cleverley sale, which technically hasn't happened yet. Still a very substantial amount, considering the likes of LFC have a £10m NEGATIVE net spend during the same time period, just as a comparison. It's a total myth that Moshiri hasn't spent money. In fact it's not just a myth, it's stupidity to think that.

Deals done since Moshiri came in February 2016 (so basically, the last two windows, summer 2016 & January 2017):

Players signed (Fees reported in hyperlinks):

Martin Steklenberg £1m
Idrissa Gueye £7.1m
Ashley Williams £12m
Yanick Bolasie £25m
Dom Calvert-Lewin £1.5m
Ademola Lookman £11m
Morgan Schneiderlin £24m

Total spent £81.6m

Players sold:

Tim Howard £1m
John Stones £47.5m
Bryan Oviedo & Darron Gibson £7.5m

Total recouped £56m

Positive net spend of £25.6m.

Now if you want, we can add the sale of Tom Cleverley to this for £8m (even though it hasn't happened yet and won't happen until July 1st).

That's still a net spend of £17.6m on players by Moshiri since February 2016.

Them's the actual facts mate.

Anything else you've written are 'mights' and 'could be's just to suit your negative agenda of what you think might happen under Moshiri.

The reality thus far has been very different.

Gibson and Oviedo were sold to Sunderland for £7.5m.

Fixed that for you fam.
 

Embarrassing when people moan without any reason to. It's like they're addicted to moaning, and even when there isn't a valid reason, they do so anyway even if they look like fools doing so. Either that or they just like trolling.

Knocking Moshiri because we MIGHT sell someone in the future is simply embarrassing. People are having to invent stuff that hasn't even happened yet and may not even happen to criticise the fella.

No proper evertonian could be dissapointed by Moshiri. All this artificial fume about Usmanov it basically bs. Many are somehow blinded by the progress we've already made and we are making in the future...beautiful situation. ..sit back and enjoy
 
All of this debate about the specific fees is tinkering in the margins, a £5m profit or a £25m deficit is not the sort of spending that will propel us into the CL places. Yes, at the top end of the estimate it is more than some already in the CL places but a one year figure is next to useless in this scenario, a five year or a ten year average is more useful. This could work either way for Mr Moshiri, he may incrementally (or dramatically I suppose - but doubt) increase outlay over the next few years or he may be happy with his return and stadium plan and stay the course with the current pattern. Wages count too, of course, but the £70-80k a week dropped on Bolasie and Williams does not look like good value, may have caused ructions with players on a lower basic, or may be a bellwether for how wage inflation is going. Neither of those scenarios represent positive progress. We have too little data to judge anything yet, this coming window will tell us a lot about our future.
 
No need
