Since last season quite a lot of players have left the club:

Hibbert
Osman
Howard
Deulofeu
Cleverly
Gibson
Oviedo
Stones
McGeady
Niasse

Even after that there is still some pruning that can be done:

Rodriguez
McCarthy
Besic
Jagielka

After that, we still have a competitive first team squad! Amazing.

Add jagielka to the 10 that have left and that is a realistic starting line up last season...

I have no idea if there is any possibility of Wayne coming back to us, but anyone who honestly feels he wouldn't add and improve our team really needs a reality check. The lad is and has always been an Evertonian to add. Yes his age and all round play isn't what it was 5_8 years ago, bit with all these amazing youngsters breaking through and being purchased, how can anybody not recognise the confidence and experience he will add to the first team and there development!!? I understood the financial issues, but this is down to the club to have and I for one have every confidence that they will only do this if it works. For me if this is a possiblity, it's a no brainier! Imagine how it will also raise our profile around the world - Wayne Rooney goes home!!!! I can hear the chink chink of sponsors already.................

Scenario.

Everton Sell Oviedo, Gibson, McCarthy and Kone for £30m+

Everton spend £30m+ on Schneiderlin and Lookman

Are we happy with another £0 net spend?

Mate just what is this obsession with 'net spend' all about? It's competely irrelevant - except when it is blatantly taken outside of its proper context (that Koeman has stated time and again he will not be bullied into buying dross because some fans just want to see money spent). No matter how much more you think we've recouped than spent (also not true - where does your 30m+ sold come from??!), the 'playing squad' has been improved - including, thankfully, by a great crop of academy and/or cheap (DCL) youngsters coming in - so again, money spent is not the measure of success.

Would love to see a couple of CL class players come in and push us on - when available - and then we will see if there's financial backing or not. But for now who gives a flying one if we have a zero net spend in this particular window?

I wouldn't profess to know all about anybody! What I do realise though is that we all make mistakes whoever we are, for me that's what it was and I honestly believe he regrets it. That's my own opinion and I am not trying to convince anybody to agree or disagree with that.
