Is there any evidence to say we can't? Any player could leave at any point, doesn't mean it is tied to lack of investment, stadiium build etc. There are probably less than 5 teams in world football who could resist any offer for one of their players, and really only Barca and Real where players who are wanted don't agitate for a move. Look at Pogba, willing to leave the best team in Italy for what is currently the 6th best team in England.

The only way we have to hold onto players is to compete at the top of the league and in the Champions League every season, even then there are no guarentees you can hold on to players. Look at Utd, even at their peak players left to the likes of Real.
I was answering Dave's question. Of course I'd want my two favourite players still here
 
If it was Barkley/Lukaku for a new stadium. In a heartbeat.
Think it's more complicated than that mate. If we're going to go to the expense of a 55/60k seater riverside stadium, we'll need to also have a team good enough to pretty much fill it. There's going to be a debt that the increased attendance income needs to service. This debt would of course be lower if we put a £100k from player sales into the equation, but nevertheless new stadium and competitive team go hand in hand.

The club need to find a way to balance the two. Until we see some specific details of the financing it's all hearsay anyway. It's just @davek opinion that we can't do both. He may be right, but until we see the figures it's all speculation;)

I'm aware of this :) I was just replying to a simple question by Dave with a simple answer!
 
It's been done before. This isn't Celtic and Rangers.

Can never work out whether you are trying to be a shock jockey like Adrian Durham, a total doom and gloom merchant or so stubborn that you want Rom to go, Koeman to fail, Scheilderlin to flop, Moshiri to go bust, etc just so you are proved right.
The Adrian Durham of GOT. That is so spot on because, let's be honest, how much of this sites posts nowadays are instigated by the nonsense he spouts. I wonder if he's actually been an @GrandOldTeam multi all along to get more posts on the Everton forum!
 
I remember after we beat Arsenal in December and the camera panned in on Wengers face on the touchline for about a minute. As all the players filed past him he made a specific point of letting onto Gana, which I Thought was curious at the time. And now here we are
